Where in the bible might dinossaurs have been mentioned?

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!

If the dinosaurs were followers of Islam, then it may explain what happened to all of them>>they may have been carried off to heaven.

Fools of faith.  I always enjoy asking devout Christians if they believe in dinosaurs.  When they say yes I ask them how long ago they lived.  When they say millions of years ago I ask them how that could be when the Bible says the Earth is only 6000 years old!  It's funny watching them try to squirm their way outta that one.

In my opinion nothing.  Many die hard Christians agree and believe dinosaurs never existed because they are not in the bible.  Many other just as die hard point to Job 40:15-24 as a description of a dino.  Check the website out.  I still think the bible says nothing, but make up your own mind...

No the word "dinosaur" is not in the bible. Neither is kangaroo, or hippopotamus. But, check out Job 40:15-18\n15  Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. \n16  Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. \n17  He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. \n18  His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.\n\nSounds like a dinosaur to me.

Dinosaurs were created by a Supernatural Diety (a.k.a God) and a lot of them became extinct when the Earth became flooded almost 3000 years ago.\n\nDinsoaurs are NOT extinct; there are placed in Africa, South America, the oceans and lakes where dinosaurs still exist.

So much info out there about your question.  Get a hold of a book by Ken Ham.......Dinosaurs and the Bible.  \n(creation scientists believe that dinosaurs were called dragons before the word dinosaur was invented in the 1800s.........)Dragons are mentioned in the Bible. It's very interesting.

as the flintsones is a documentary using actual footage it is 100% plausible. Dino is a purple dinosaur, who would probably morph into a chinchilla to live in the modern world

That was mentioned in the Bible....

As it has been mentioned, the word "dinosaur" was not ever used before about the middle 1800's, so it's not possible for that word to be in any Bible translated before that.\nBehemoth is mentioned in the Book of Job, chapter 40, and if you read the description carefully, I don't think you could possibly conclude that it is anything other than what we would call a dinosaur today.\nLeviathan is mentioned in Job 41 - without a doubt, this is one of the creatures that you do not want to tangle with! A sea monster of some sort, and from reading carefully, you would conclude that it is a sort of fire-breathing dragon.\n\nin the Apochraphal book of Daniel, there is another chapter that tells the story of Daniel and the dragon - interesting reading.

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.

The 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\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.” To make things clearer, we constructed the following table comparing the scientific names with the Biblical names tanniyn, behemoth, and Leviathan.\n\n\n\n\n \n \n&#92;Did Dinosaurs Really Exist?\nDinosaurs certainly did roam the Earth in the ancient past! Fossils of dinosaurs have been found all over the world, and their bones are displayed in museums for all to see. Scientists have been able to reconstruct many of their skeletons, so we know much about how they may have looked.\n\nWhen Were Dinosaurs Found?\nThe story of their discovery began back in the 1820s, when Gideon Mantell, an English doctor, found some unusual teeth and bones in a quarry. Dr Mantell realized there was something very different about these animal remains, and believed that he had found an entirely new group of reptiles. By 1841, about nine types of these different reptiles had been uncovered, including two called Megalosaurus and Iguanodon.\n\nAt this time, a famous British scientist (and creationist), Dr Richard Owen, coined the name ‘Dinosauria,’ meaning ‘terrible lizard,’ for this is what the huge bones made him think of.\n\nWhat Makes Dinosaurs Different?\nOther than the huge size of some dinosaurs, the major feature that really distinguishes dinosaurs from other reptiles (such as crocodiles) is the position of their limbs. Dinosaurs had posture that was fully erect, similar to that in mammals. Most other reptiles have limbs in a sprawling position. For instance, compare the way a crocodile ‘walks’ with that of, say, a cow. Dinosaurs would have moved like a cow, with the limbs supporting the body from beneath. Crocodiles ‘waddle,’ as their limbs project sideways from their body.\n\nHow Big Were Dinosaurs?\nSome were as small as chickens, and others were even smaller. Of course, some dinosaurs were very large, weighing in at an estimated 80 tons and standing 40 feet high! The average size of a dinosaur, however, was probably about that of a small horse. \n\nWhen Did Dinosaurs Live?\nThe story we have all heard from movies, television, newspapers, and most magazines and textbooks is that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. According to evolutionists, the dinosaurs ‘ruled the Earth’ for 140 million years, dying out about 65 million years ago. However, scientists do not dig up anything labeled with those ages. They only uncover dead dinosaurs (i.e., their bones), and their bones do not have labels attached telling how old they are. The idea of millions of years of evolution is just the evolutionists’ story about the past. No scientist was there to see the dinosaurs live through this supposed dinosaur age. In fact, there is no proof whatsoever that the world and its fossil layers are millions of years old. No scientist observed dinosaurs die. Scientists

No one knows if dinosaurs existed, what we know is that fossils of dinosaur bones exist.  The sensible explanation is that dinosaurs did exist and their bones became fossils, but why do you care about what is sensible?  According to the bible the earth was created in 6 days, that is wrong to.  The only time the bible is right is by accident.  Snakes use to talk in the bible.  You have to admit the bible leaves a lot out.  Like if Adam and Eve had 2 sons, and no daughters, where did Cain and Abel's wives come from?

That's interesting that you ask if they were his pets because of this verse from the book of Job that describes some type of gigantic creature with a Hebrew word whose translation is uncertain and long before the modern term "dinosaur" came into use.\n\nHere God is talking to Job about what He can do and asking Job if he thinks that he can do the same.\n\nJob 41:1  "Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook or press down his tongue with a cord?  (2)  Can you put a rope in his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?  (3)  Will he make many pleas to you? Will he speak to you soft words?  (4)  Will he make a covenant with you to take him for your servant forever?\n\nliwyātān: I. A masculine proper noun meaning Leviathan. It describes a huge indomitable being that God created and whom only He fully comprehends and controls.\n\nA further description God gives of this animal makes it seem like a sea going fire breathing dragon.\n\nJob 41:15  His back is made of rows of shields, shut up closely as with a seal.  (16)  One is so near to another that no air can come between them.  (17)  They are joined one to another; they clasp each other and cannot be separated.  (18)  His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn.  (19)  Out of his mouth go flaming torches; sparks of fire leap forth.  (20)  Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.  (21)  His breath kindles coals, and a flame comes forth from his mouth.\n\n\nHere's another unknown creature that God asks Job about.\n\nJob 40:15  Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.  (16)  Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.  (17)  He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.  (18)  His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.  (19)  He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.  (20)  Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.  (21)  He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.  (22)  The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.  (23)  Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.  (24)  He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
