No, Dinosaurs Aren't in the Bible: Part 3

If God created them, then they are in the Bible.

The Bible doesn't specifically mention koala bears or amoebas... doesn't mean God didn't create them (they're just not relevant to salvation).

I didn’t bother to read the article because the premise was false.

Well, THAT showed me! Not exactly giving me reason to take your criticisms seriously.

...the Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and women,...

I don't think the Book says this.

Genesis 6:1-8

1 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, ² the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. ³ Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

⁴ The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

⁵ The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. ⁶ The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. ⁷ So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” ⁸ But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

It does NOT say the GIANTs  (or fallen angels) mated with the Humans; it merely says they were on the earth.

???

So; just WHO are the sons of God and the daughters of humans???

 

The BOOK says: Let Us create Man in Our image.   So there you get some 'sons of God'; right??

The BOOK also says, in Genesis 5:3-4

 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. ⁴ After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.

 

These things happened BEFORE Genesis chapter 6....

[Mark17]

I think they were fallen angels. You can think whatever you like. This is not a salvation issue, so we can disagree on it, and be none the worse for wear.
I just don’t know for sure who the titans were. Some others might have a better handle on titans than I do, but there are other views that differ from yours. 😁 Remember, the rocks were alive. Maybe these were the mythical titans.
We can have different opinions on this, and it’s ok. 👍 It’s not a salvation issue. I will continue to believe the sons of God were fallen angels. I also believe the dinosaurs 🦕 were there too, like this one, though I can’t understand why someone is so vehement in trying to prove the dinosaurs did not exist in the OT, or whenever. It doesn’t matter at all. I think it’s possible people or Nephilim also messed with animal DNA too. Hang in there bro.

Hallucination?

Them’s FACTS, jack.

Look at your article history.

Pure attention seeking, nothing else but.

“The “tail” is a euphemism for the penis;” really? God was going all out to impress Job with the symbol of fertility?

[MHGinTN]

LOL ...not hardly!

[pcottraux]

Yes, and the problem is that you’re examining the story with modern eyes instead of trying to understand it in it’s original ancient Near Eastern context.

Virility was a symbol of the untameable animal kingdom. (Hint: the Hebrew word “Behema” is also used to describe the animals on Creation day 6 in Genesis).

Well with all the attention you're giving me, it must be working.

[ravenwolf]

I believe you have it right, Adam was not created on the sixth
day but hundreds or thousands of years later that is the only
reasonable answer.

The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair and took themselves supplements in their diet yeah just in case the deficiency of copper that was brought on by these other infections caused down to have
as wife’s, the sons of God being Adams Decendants and the daughters
of men being Decendants of the one’s made on the sixth day.

[the_daug]

I did a search tail is not used this way ” is a euphemism for the penis”

There's a lot to ponder about the entire flood episode. How many "man" were wiped out during it? Were they uncorrupted genetically, but spiritually evil to the core? How many Nephilim were there? Enough to create the mountain ranges of today worldwide (under the sea too)? How about Golgotha? Who's skull?

[DoodleDawg]

But, scientists are also correct, the Earth has been around for hundreds of thousands of years.

I'm pretty sure scientists say that the Earth has been around for billions of years, not hundreds of thousands.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

IMHO, Dinosaurs are in the Bible. Whether or not they were a God-made creation, that is another question. Good Creationists differ on many issues related to the topic. Some believe they were created far in advance of man before even the fall of Lucifer. Others say there were a direct creation of Lucifer and his minions toying with DNA. Besides the mention of Behemoth and Leviathan, there's plenty of folk are several thousand years old that show man coexisting with Dinos.

[Mark17]

Yes, I am sure dinosaurs were on the earth in the ante diluvian world. I don’t know why anyone is so zealous in trying to say they were not. My opinion here, but it’s possible, this little vegetarian dude 🦕 was created by God, and this little monster, 🦖 was a genetically engineered hybrid creature, that was not at all created by God, but by mixing DNA from various sources, all of which were in the Old Testament. I don’t buy the arguments that say they were not.
How many people were killed in the Flood, is anyone’s guess. Maybe billions. Were they all infected with Nephilim blood? Don’t know, maybe. Were they all evil? I would guess that yes, they were, or they probably would have been on the Ark. I think Methuselah died 7 days before the Flood, then God could wipe out the earth. I do think, however, it was the scourge of the Nephilim, that was the primary reason for the Flood, but maybe not the only reason.
I know you have seen some of the “rocks were alive” videos. I have physically and personally seen two of these things, with my own eye 👁 balls. I am convinced they are not natural rock formations at all, but the fossilized bodies of dead giants, strewn across the entire world, killed in the Flood. Check out Devils Tower in Wyoming. I think that is the stump of giant trees that were there too. 😁 That’s what I think. If other people have different opinions, so be it. 🤣
