One specific book in the bible, a person asked God many questions, God desrcibed a creature that might have been a dinosaur.

In the Bible, in Job 40:15-24, God describes to Job (who lived after the Flood) a great beast with which Job was familiar. This great animal, called ‘behemoth,’ is described as ‘the chief of the ways of God,’ perhaps the biggest land animal God had created. Impressively, he moved his tail like a cedar tree! Although some Bible commentaries say this may have been an elephant or hippopotamus, the description actually fits that of a dinosaur like Brachiosaurus. Elephants and hippos certainly do not have tails like cedar trees!

This is a hard question though it does not say specficly that dinosaurs was created in the Bible, God did give Adam the authority to name every living creature..\n\n\n\nThe Bible refers to many the common animals we know today. The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. What is interesting is that this extensive list includes three animals that we no longer recognize. These three are (in the original Hebrew language) tanniyn, b@hemowth (yes, it’s spelled correctly—at least as close as we can get in Roman characters), and livyathan.\n\n\nAlthough we alter the spelling of behemoth and Leviathan slightly, we still use those same words in bibles today. However, tanniyn is always translated into another word when we write it in English. Tanniyn occurs 28 times in the Bible and is normally translated “dragon.” It is also translated “serpent,” “sea monster,” “dinosaur,” “great creature,” and “reptile.” Behemoth and Leviathan are relatively specific creatures, perhaps each was a single kind of animal. Tanniyn is a more general term, and it can be thought of as the original version of the word “dinosaur.” The word “dinosaur” was originally coined in 1841, more than three thousand years after the Bible first referred to “Tanniyn.”\n\n\nBehemoth has the following attributes according to Job 40:15-24\n\n\nIt “eats grass like an ox.” \nIt “moves his tail like a cedar.” (In Hebrew, this literally reads, “he lets hang his tail like a cedar.”) \nIts “bones are like beams of bronze,\nHis ribs like bars of iron.” \n“He is the first of the ways of God.” \n“He lies under the lotus trees,\nIn a covert of reeds and marsh.” \nSome bibles and study bibles will translate the word “behemoth” as “elephant” or “hippopotamus.” Others will put a note at the edge or bottom of the page, stating that behemoth was probably an elephant or a hippopotamus. Although an elephant or hippopotamus can eat grass (or lie in a covert of reeds and marsh), neither an elephant or a hippopotamus has a “tail like a cedar” (that is, a tail like a large, tapered tree trunk). In your kid’s dinosaur book you will find lots of animals that have “tails like a cedar.”\n\nWe would expect behemoth to be a large land animal whose bones are like beams of bronze and so forth, so whatever a behemoth is, it is large. A key phrase is “He is the first of the ways of God.” This phrase in the original Hebrew implied that behemoth was the biggest animal created. Although an elephant or a hippopotamus are big, they are less than one-tenth the size of a Brachiosaurus, the largest (complete) dinosaur ever discovered.[1] A Brachiosaurus could therefore easily be described as “the first of the ways of God.”\n\n\nLeviathan has the following attributes according to Job chapter 41, Psalm 104:25,26 and Isaiah 27:1. This is only a partial listing—just enough to make the point.\n\n\n“No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up.” \n“Who can open the doors of his face, with his terrible teeth all around?” \n“His rows of scales are his pride, shut up tightly as with a seal; one is so near another that no air can come between them; they are joined one to another, they stick together and cannot be parted.” \n“His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning lights; sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke goes out of his nostrils, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes. His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.” \n“Though the sword reaches him, it cannot avail; nor does spear, dart, or javelin. He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones become like stubble to him. Darts are regarded as straw; he laughs at the threat of javelins.” \n“On earth there is nothing like him, which is

You answered your own question.  God would never contradict Himself, therefore, the book could not have come from Him.\n\nIt is a good rule to compare things said to be of God with the Bible.  If they don't agree 100% with the Bible, then they are not from God.

It was the fruits and vegetables that he had grown. \n\nIt displeased the god of the bible because it was not a sacrifice of blood.

PLEASE READ GENESIS CHAPTERS 1 -10. In the garden, There was the Tree of Life and the Tree of knowledge of good and evil. and all the other trees of which Adam and Eve were allowed to eat from. The tree of knowledge of good and evil was the ONLY tree they were told not to eat from or they would die. The Bible does not specify what FRUIT was on that tree. When they disobeyed God and listened to the snake (SATAN) they sinned and thus the perfect world no longer existed. NO, there were no reproductive trees, someone is pulling your leg. ON dinosaurs, God created animals And man on the 6th day of creation. If God made dinosaurs, they are not prehistoric as some say since they were created at the same time as man. P.S.  God did not stop loving Adam and Eve, but He did punish them for their sin.  P.S.S. The Tree of Life is in Heaven, Read Revelation 22:14

2. You're wrong about the second scripture. God told Noah to take in two of every unclean animal, but to take in the clean animals by sevens. You were close, though. Thanks for shooting down a common myth. \n3. Yes. He had to tell the truth in the book of Job, when God asked Satan what he had been doing in the world. \n6. Yes. God will come down to establish a 100-mile high and 100-mile wide city on the earth. \n7. Abraham did have two sons. He had Isaac and Ishmael. The Jews that descended from Abraham, though, are also counted as his children.

I believe that science has established the continental drift, and that dinosaurs and humans never lived at the same time. As for christians believing in it well, the Bible doesn't say anything about either but if they believe the thing about dinos & human or disbelieve continental drift, then they must not pay too much attention to science or history.

These were figurative and not literal representations.\n In Genesis...\nGen 3:1  Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? \nSatan is represented as a serpent (snake) here..alludes to his sneaky nature and the poison which he spreads..\n\nIn Nehemiah..\nNeh 2:13  And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well...\nthe word translated in from Hebrew to mean dragon actually means...sea serpent or jackal\n\nIn Revelations...\nRev 20:2  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, \n\nThe word used for dragon, here, means...(from Strong's greek and hebrew Dictionaries)\n"a fabulous kind of serpent (perhaps as supposed to fascinate)"\n\nThe Bible is not endorsing the idea of a literal flying, firebreathing reptile. It is symbolism..so that only the "chosen" would understand.\n\nHere's an example:\n(Rev 17:7)  And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.\n\n(Rev 17:8)  The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.\n(Rev 17:9)  And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.\n(Rev 17:10)  And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.\n(Rev 17:11)  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.\n(Rev 17:12)  And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.\n(Rev 17:13)  These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.\n(Rev 17:14)  These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

It could be said that the Bible is a book of history -- and it is. The bible describes places, people, and events in various degrees of detail.  It is essentially an historical account of the people of God throughout thousands of years.  If you open to almost any page in the Bible you will find a name of a place and/or a person.  Much of this can be verified from archaeology.  Though archaeology cannot prove that the Bible is the inspired word of God, it has the ability to prove whether or not if some events and locations described therein are true or false.  So far, however, there isn't a single archaeological discovery that disproves the Bible in any way.\n     Nevertheless, many used to think that the Bible had numerous historical errors in it such as Luke's account of Lysanias being the tetrarch of Abiline in about 27 AD (Luke 3:1).  For years scholars used this "factual error" to prove Luke was wrong because it was common knowledge that Lysanias was not a tetrarch, but the ruler of Chalcis about 50 years earlier than what Luke described.  But, an archaeological inscription was found that said Lysanias was the tetrarch in Abila near Damascus at the time that Luke said.  It turns out that there had been two people name Lysanias and Luke had accurately recorded the facts.  \n     Also, the walls of Jericho have been found, destroyed just as the Bible says.  Many critics doubted that Nazareth ever existed, yet archaeologists have found a first-century synagogue inscription at Caesarea verified its existence.  Finds have verified Herod the Great and his son Herod Antipas.  The remains of the Apostle Peter's house have been found at Capernaum.  Bones with nail scars through the wrists and feet have been uncovered as well demonstrating the actuality of crucifixion.  The High Priest Caiaphas' bones have been discovered in an ossuary (a box used to store bones).  \n     There is, of course, a host of archaeological digs that corroborate biblical records such as Bethsaida, Bethany, Caesarea Philippi, Capernaum, Cyprus, Galatia, Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Rome, etc.  For more on this see, Archaeological Evidence verifying biblical events and places.\n     \n\nAn inscribed stone was found that  refers to Pontius Pilate, named as Prefect of Judaea.’  (The New Bible Dictionary, (Wheaton, Illinois: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.; 1962.)  \nLuke 3:1, "Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea..." \n"A decree of Claudius found at Delphi (Greece) describes Gallio as proconsul of Achaia in ad 51, thus giving a correlation with the ministry of Paul in Corinth (Acts 18:12)." (The New Bible Dictionary)\nActs 18:12, "But while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat." \nExcavations have revealed a text naming a benefactor Erastus which may be a reference relating to  the city-treasurer of Rom. 16:23.  (The New Bible Dictionary)\nRom. 16:23, "Gaius, host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer greets you, and Quartus, the brother." \nAt Ephesus parts of the temple of Artemis have been uncovered as is mentioned in Acts 19:28-41.

Dinosaurs are never mentioned explicitly in the Bible, if at all. I have already seen you have been pointed to Job for Leviathan and Behemoth. That's the only potential mention in the Bible of dinosaurs.\n\nI see the creation story at the beginning of Genesis as a very quick overview - not a scientific textbook on how God made the world, but more of an overview to say "God made the universe, then he made man, then man screwed up and let's pick up with these people here." So, to me, the beginning stories - the creation and fall - are there as a quick introduction that sets the tone and the themes for, really, the entire rest of the Bible.

I have no clue as to the story you've spoken of. \nIf you began to research, and have begun to read the bible in search of this tale.. why not continue reading the bible, and get the true answers you're seaching for. You may not even be aware of the right question.. but your answer awaits you, in God's word.

I do not believe this is achievable. This is an example of a real occurrance going mythical over time. I'm pretty sure the writers of the Bible had no real idea exactly how many kinds of animals there are on this planet. \n\nThis story existed in Sumer and Babylon prior to the writing of the Bible. The hero in the Mesopotamian myths was either Ziusudra or Utnapishtim, depending on the tablet. The story was incredible enough then, and by the time the Bible was written, it had become moreso. \n\nIn all likelihood, "Noah" was a trader in livestock who got washed out to sea during a bad storm, the likes of which were well known in Mesopotamia at the time. It would certainly have looked like the world had flooded. \n\nWhy seven days? Seven is the most sacred of numbers in that part of the world.

Dinosaur is a word that was created after the King James Version of the Bible...There are references to dragons in Job and Isiah and a few other places.  Which should not be that big of a surprise because even in the Chinese calender there is a dragon. Which you can rule as mythology or whatever....but its not random to just throw a dragon in there with a rat, pig, and other common animals.

I have studied earth science. \nFirst of all, their scientific name is a (best estimate) i.e. in their opinion. so the wee table is just their own version of what refers to modern day equivalent in science. \nThe only evidence they use to suggest the bible is talking about a dinosaur (rather than elephant or hippo) is a tail like a Cedar.  this could apply to crocodile but they don't mention that - apart from to say "oh -BTW it can't be a croc eh?" without actually giving any decent reason as to why.\nI don't know why I can't read Job 41 18-21without realising it breathes fire.  Such obviousness escapes me.  As also does the beetle chat. err...because one thing (and I haven't bothered to look up if it can) breathes fire, another surely can? What - how does that work? Because a flea can jump 50 times it's own heigth, can I? Also, all earth scientist would love to have a fire breathing lizard, but no studies have proved it's existance.   \nThen later (I'm skimming this now, there's loads of made up stuff), they say "Nobody has ever proven that the Bible contains any inaccurately recorded information" - well I'd kind of like to see the other way round.  Proving a negative is, well, impossible.  If I said there is a planet made of jelly a milllion light years away, does that make me correct until proven wrong? \nthen they do that wonderful thing of "hmm yes we have evidence of dinosaurs being created one day before man etc etc...but in order to see it you have to read through pages and pages of more subjective chat", personally I gave up cos if they are that confident they would put there evidence right in their on their page, or at least give a description of how.  \nThis page is someone's belief and doen't make me think anything other than what I have studied through rational science.

The Bible has several reference to "dry bones." \n\nEzekiel 37:\n1 \nThe hand of the LORD came upon me, and he led me out in the spirit of the LORD and set me in the center of the plain, which was now filled with bones. \n2 \nHe made me walk among them in every direction so that I saw how many they were on the surface of the plain. How dry they were! \n3 \nHe asked me: Son of man, can these bones come to life? "Lord GOD," I answered, "you alone know that." \n4 \nThen he said to me: Prophesy over these bones, and say to them: Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!\n\nThis suggests the bones of animals that have been dead for a long time, picked clean by scavengers and left in the hot sun. \n\nSo dry as a bone in this case would be extremely dry.

In Genesis 8, Noah offered up sacrifices to God.  He could do that because he had brought some animals aboard the ark in larger groups than twos (Genesis 7:2).  Then in Genesis 9, God put the fear of man in the heart of every animal, so that they would be hard to catch, and then He said to Noah that they were to be food for him as well as the plants.  Apparently there was enough time for the animals to reproduce because we've been eating them for centuries, and we still have enough to eat.
