This post is depicting the problem with logical reasoning. Lets dissect it

Job 40:19 (KJV) “He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.”

Of all God’s creatures, he is distinct. He is not a human, neither an animal but the Chief of the ways of God.

Job 40:21-22 (KJV) “He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.”

This creature had a house but it was never roofed. His house is the shady trees and the willows of the brook which compassed him about.


There’s no how trees can be taller than many dinos. The average dino is about many feets and some even eat whole trees at a go. So how can a tree shade it?

The bones of a Lion and or Tiger which is believed to be the king of the jungle are not as strong as brass and bars of iron. Of all the strongest creatures on earth today, none matches this description. Because Dinosaurs are big, their bones would be like pieces of brass and like bars of iron

Many dinosaurs had hollow bones, similar to modern birds. These hollow bones, which contain air sacs, make the skeleton lighter and less dense, allowing dinosaurs to grow to be the size of buses or five-story buildings.

So to conclude, the bible never mentioned dinos. Prolly those allusion were for some mythical creatures. So the bible is an unreliable book and is false

Tell me which book on earth;

1. Gave a distinct revelation of how this present world was created.

2. Unveiled the first man created after Image of God.

3. Revealed to us how Lucifer became Satan.

4. Unveiled the origin of sin.

5. Unveiled how so many languages came into being.

6. Predicted accurately the four successive kingdom of the earth from the time of King Nebuchadnezzar.

7. Unveiled to us the events of the last days.

8. Is able to distinguish between the spirit and soul.

I could go on and on.

The world experienced a period dark age when the Bible was temporarily out of circulation.

Without the Bible, we are completely blind. We are all doomed without the Bible. Please, embrace the gospel and deliver yourself from gross ignorance.

There's thousands of books, stories etc about creation, each saying the other is fake. Its unfortunate christianity came and subjugated many of those religions via the edge of the sword(violence). If they hadn't,you would still be hearing them regularly. I'm sure your ancestors had their own versions. What evidence do you have your story is true and theirs isn't? None.
The other points u made eg Nebuchadnezzar, spirit, soul, Lucifer, last days were myths copied from ancient books like Epic of Gilgamesh etc. They never happened. Also The term "Dark Ages" comes from the Latin phrase saeculum obscurum, which was originally used by Caesar Baronius in 1602 to describe a tumultuous period in the 10th and 11th centuries. It became popular during the 18th century Age of Enlightenment, and was based on the idea that Renaissance scholars like Petrarch had of ancient Greece and Rome as the pinnacle of human achievement. Petrarch, an Italian scholar from the 14th century, coined the term because he was dismayed by the lack of good literature at the time, with little cultural and scientific advancement, and that Europe was enveloped in academic 'darkness'. It has absolutely nothing to do with your bible or christianity.
Religion is just a myth taken too far

It was never meant to talk about science or dinosaur and therefore has never in any of it chapter debunked the possibility of dinosaur

Yup. From Genesis to Revelation, with and without the 'spirit'. All a poorly written fairy tale. Aesop's fairy tales is a better book

Good!

Can you explain this?

Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

So what's your point?

My point is, you did not get the interpretation right.
Perhaps this is how you did not get the whole bible right after reading it. Hence the book is a fairy tale to you.

But you know what?
The content of a book does not depend on anyone's perception. Rather what anyone can get from reading any book will depend on his ability to comprehend it perfectly.

Most pastors and church leaders especially in third world Africa where quality education is not prioritize or put into consideration, are yet to have a perfect comprehension of that book too.

This explains why religion especially in this part of the world, is a sham, hoax and delusive

So Africans don't have the perfect interpretations of the Bible? Cool. So why did your god send us a book that is poorly interpreted, especially when he already knew it would be poorly interpreted and mislead folks? grin

Yes, poorly interpreted at this stage of human history. But it will never always remain like this.

The target of getting it right is the future, perhaps another 1000 years from now.

We all know how science also started primitively some hundreds of years ago. But today, there are advancement of knowledge, and researches for new discoveries are still going on and will continue.
So is every spheres of knowledge including religion

So in other words, your god sent a book that is not easily interpreted except by a select few, with the rest of the world poorly grasping the gist, and thus losing faith in him. Now answer these questions
1. Would you blame those humans that lost their faith due to a god sending a complex book?
2. What is the fate of those humans that lost their faith due to God's negligence in proving an easily digestible book? Would they still roast eternally in hell?
3. How do u even know your own interpretation is the right one since we don't have the correct template or control to gauge its veracity?
Please answer these questions succinctly and explicitly. Thank you

The person you are quoting is dead and gone and most likely in hell. How can you compare it with the living Jesus whose tomb is empty and confirmed by archaeologists.

Having faith does not depend on whether you fully understand the book or not

There is nothing like negligence there.
The book is complex to understand does not stop Faith.
The most important thing is to have faith irrespective of whether you understand it or not.

3. How do u even know your own interpretation is the right one since we don't have the correct template or control to gauge its veracity?

It is not everyone that is having challenge to understand it.

The way you understand any book you read, you can understand the bible. Only that it requires one to follow the stories precept by precept with comprehension accuracy as if you are studying to write an examination

So you are saying one should have faith whether one understands the Bible or not, init?
Are you aware there are thousands of denominations spawning from different (mis)interpretations of the Bible, ranging from Catholism, to Jehovah Witness and Cherubim/Seraphim etc etc. Each strongly believe their own interpretation is legit while the other is wrong, and those would subsequently burn in hell. Yet they all claim to be Christians. And guess what, they all have faith
So obviously having faith isn't enough. You'll have to belong to the 'right' denomination to be deemed eligible for heaven.

jaephoenix:

it is personal conviction and should not be done in compulsion.
And moreover, having faith is simple when you were brought up with the faith from childhood.
For instance, if you were brought up as a child in a Christian home there is every assurance that you will end up being a Christian.
Same with other religions
it's simple as that

Are you aware there are thousands of denominations spawning from different (mis)interpretations of the Bible, ranging from Catholism, to Jehovah Witness and Cherubim/Seraphim etc etc. Each strongly believe their own interpretation is legit while the other is wrong, and those would subsequently burn in hell.

No doubt, they all have faith.
They are all Christians.
But Christians with variation of understanding one book.

The truth is, the book itself does not depend on anyone.
It came with it own teachings which everyone have to follow.

So obviously having faith isn't enough. You'll have to belong to the 'right' denomination to be deemed eligible for heaven.
you are not getting it
Heaven or Faith, the are the same thing.

That's why i brought out that scripture Matthew 4:17 to know whether you understand.

Heaven, Faith, The kingdom, whatever you want to call it, they are all the same thing.

And i told you that it does not require full understanding of the bible to have faith.
Therefore it does not require full understanding of the bible to make heaven.
It doesn't matter what denomination you belong, whether they teach ignorantly or not, so long you are in the faith you are already in heaven.
But if you are not in the faith you are doomed
.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

There are evidence that can give insight into dino daily lives, including preserved gut contents, eggs, nests, footprints, skin impressions and even dinosaur poo. We can even view their fossils all over the world. I have attached their pictures. Unless of course you think we conjured those bones, footprints etc from thin air.
