What did Jesus mean when he said, "Dinosaur fossils are the work of Satan"?

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.

Your putting pretty high expectations on a man who started a religion after eating a poisonous mushroom and listening to a talking salamander...obviously, he must have been hallucinating!  Anything that adds to or takes away from the word of God, is not truly of God.Satan's biggest lie ever told was denying Jesus was crucified or that He was the Son of God....the very essence of our salvation. Jesus warned against false prophets that would come....He told us to test things in the Spirit-so we would know the truth from the lies.Remember, every knee shal bow and every tounge confess that Jesus Christ is Lord....I think was in Romans...so there will come a moment when Satan himself will have to be on bended knee confessing that! I'm pretty sure that was in Romans-I don't have my Bible with me right now.So, there will come that day! Until then...pray for those who don't know HIM.

It will make sense to say that dinosaur were first than men so man will have something to eat?, though I don't believed in such theory at least you will keep the Boy, mind a bit busier. although no to fur from the true in God creation God create everything that man will need to survive, and the final act of his perfect creation was man, and of course from his ribs, Literally?), his companion woman. so if he miss something and becomes a believer he can continue in the right path. Question, other wise I will be very careful to answer any different in case he is trying to fit some religious believed with the idea of evolution?. and/or the prehistoric era?. I don't know how old is your Son but know  a day's children's are a bit smart than the regular and ever so popular baby boomers.---- try not to allow room for him to cough you in a big lie----Remember the old  saying : "The thruth will set you free"

My grandmother, who is hardcore Southern Baptist, says the dinosaurs did not exist ever, that they were just bones planted by someone to support a fantasy. She also doesn't believe space exists.... I don't ask her questions anymore.

Dinosaurs are not mentioned in the bible. Read this:\nhttp://www.bibleandscience.com/science/dinosaurs.htm

In the grand scheme of things, those aren't important.\n\nThe Bible is a guide on how to live your life and how to walk according to God's wishes.  I'm not as good in my Bible as I should be so I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense.\n\nAnd I do believe they reference dinosaurs in Genesis vaguely - someting about monsters of the deep - during the flood story.

Jesus would probably say something like, "There's not enough atmosphere on the moon to blow the dust around".  Or, then again, He might not.  He might also say, "You need to pay more attention in Science class".  Who knows what he would say.

Friend, it is the devil that is trying to confuse you. I will try to answer Your questions, Jesus was born right around Sept. to the first week of Oct. Because he was 331/2 yrs. old when he was crucifed.  As far as cavemen, evolution, Adam & Eve & Dinosaurs, I will bring that out too, my Friend satan would like to get you to not believe God,  Now about cave men, Was there any, Yes. & is evolution correct, up to a certain point, & that will not take away Creation, Adam & Eve, Yes, & Dinosuars , Yes.  Go to the bible, there is always a hidden word that many has for many yrs. overlooked, Gen 9:1 God told Noah to Replinish the earth or to fill it up again, Gen.1:28 God told Adam & Eve to replinish the earth or to fill it up again, as far as evolution, NO we did not evolved, But there is certain cases of evolution, like for instance, A tappole turns into a frog, & a larva turns into a butterfly, & an egg turns into a chicken or a Bird. But there is no evolution when it comes to Humans, We did not evolve from monkies, or a slimmy creature out of a polluted pond somewhere. Not back to The prehistoric time frame, In the Beginnng, God created the Heaven & the earth & the earth was void & without form, then God finally has his prehistoric time frame, where there was cave-men & women But they was not a SON or Daughter of God, & they did not have a soul. This was the time of the prehistoric animals & the angelic angels to test & try them. This time frame could have lasted for millions of yrs. & As time went on God saw they became more evil, Why, Remember, satan is already a fallen angel at the beginning of the prehistoric time, The time was a testing time for the animal kingdom & the angelic kingdom, Because to futher prove what I said, turn to 2nd Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, (when, in the beginning of the prehistoric time)But cast them down to hell & delivered them into chains of darkness to be reserved unto Judgement. Now we come to the end of this prehitoric time, God just took this earth far enough away from the sun to cause a Great Ice Age, & this Ice age could also have lasted millions of yrs. That is why they have found Palm Leaves in the North & South pole, this planet one time had a perfect climate.Then when God decided he wanted anothet life form to be put on this earth, God slowly took this earth & slowly began to bring it back into a relationship with the sun to warm it up to once again bring forth life. Then Adam & Eve is Created, Now Adam & Eve was a Son & Daughter of God & they did have a soul. But now we see a upright creature in the Garden of Eden, that had a vocal cord, That was a Prehistoric creature in the highest form from the prehistoric time frame, God just resurected him from the Prehistoric time to be a worker for Adam, & this Creature did not have a soul & neither was he a Son of God. The upright creature had a vocal cord, We see the story about the sin in the garden of eden, It was not eating an apple Because in Gen.1:29 & also Gen 2:9. God said that of EVERY tree in the garden was given for food & that includes the apple, But 2 trees that did not grow out of the ground like the other trees, was in the Midst of the garden, They were 2 laws of Reproduction. It was first put into man & woman to come together in God's due time to bring forth another offspring of God that would have had eternal life, But The serpent, was inticed by satan to try to break The Law of reprodution, The serpent went to Eve, & finally pursuaded Eve to have a sexual relationship, Then Eve knew that this act can be used for pleasure also, & she took this act to Adam out of the true time factor that God ordained. Now we come to the Curse, God goes to the serpent & right there God curses the Serpent & said UPON THY belly thou shall go, Remember, at first he was a upright creature, but now God is taking away his arms & legs, & dust shall be his food, Not dirt itself But the Insects & rodents of the dust he will e

Yes, the story of the dinosaurs is told by the Life Carriers, the higher beings intrusted with life development on new spheres.\n\nhttp://www.urantia.org/papers/toc.html\n\nIn our universe the administration of these affairs is overseen by Christ, the Creator Son of God who founded our universe. If you read the New Testament carefully, you will see that Christ created our universe: Hebrews Ch 1, vs 2-3, and other places. Gabriel, the highest and first created being in our universe, The Bright Morning Star, is the Chief Executive and right hand to Christ.  He is assisted by the Melchizedeks, one of whom taught Abraham:  Hebrews, Chapter 7 (Machiventa Melchizedek, no earthly parents).\n\nMortals are not created perfect, rather they are created with the capacity to evolve to perfection.  \n\nBoth planets and universes can evolve to ages of Light and Life, when few people die from crime, war, disasters, and aging.  Rather, most are translated to the next higher sphere for which they have qualified.\n\nAt the Center of the Total Reality there is one pattern universe containing one billion perfect and diverse worlds.\n\nBut the surrounding superuniverses (seven of them) are intended to evolve to perfection.  Each superuniverse is administered by three Ancients of Days, the oldest beings of historical record with respect to the time and space creations.  They are not ascendant mortals, rather were here long before any of the lowest planets were started.  \n\nThe Ancients of Days are of a type called Supreme Trinity Origin beings, flawless, and having authority with respect to the superuniverse like the Supreme Court has with respect to the USA.  However, they act as administrators more than judges, and have a huge staff to assist the execution of superuniverse affairs.  Periodic planetary judgment falls under their purview, thus one is mentioned in the Book of Daniel.\n\nEach superuniverse encompasses 100,000 local universes, each founded by a Creator Son of God, like unto Christ in Divine Endowments.\n\nI was about to write more, but the Spirit said, I will test my children, to see if they are diligent.\n\nTherefore I can only give a url for those humble enough to seek further light.\n\nhttp://www.urantia.org/papers/toc.html

Jesus is quoting from Psalm 82.  The exact line he's quoting is: "I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.'  But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler."  It does not mean human beings are literally gods, but that everyone who hears the word of God and takes it to heart contains the Spirit within them.

Jesus belonged to a Jewish sect of Apocalypticists\nwho believed the end of the world was imminent.\nGod was about to beam down an emissary who would\noverthrow the forces of evil and create a\nUtopian-like existence free of pain and suffering\nhere on Earth. "Jesus told his disciples that his\nown generation would not pass away before these\nthings take place. 'Some of you standing here\ntoday won't taste death before you see the\nKingdom of God has come to power.'"\n\nA necessary step in this pending revolution would\nbe the resurrection of the dead and the\nrestoration of ultimate justice. The\nApocalypticists couldn't bear the thought that\nevil doers would often live long, happy lives and\ndie rich and contented. Therefore a key part of\ntheir theory was that God would raise the dead\nand punish RETROACTIVELY those who had inflicted\npain and suffering on others. By the same token,\nGod would make sure those now dead who had lead a\ngood life would be brought back and be given\ntheir just reward. (Of course those currently\nalive during the End Times would also be rewarded\nand punished according to their deserts.)\n\nJust imagine the ecstatic joy the disciples must\nhave felt when they heard that Jesus had been\nraised from the dead. Hallelujah! This confirmed\ntheir belief that the End Times had arrived.\n"That's why the apostle Paul talked about Jesus\nas the 'first fruits of the resurrection.' It's\nan agricultural image. When you go out and start\nharvesting your crops, you have a party that\nnight to celebrate the in-bringing of the first\nfruits. And then you go out and get the rest of\nthe crops the next day. Paul thought the next\nday was coming very soon and that Jesus was the\nfirst, and that others were going to follow\nsuit. And so the resurrection of Jesus for the\nearliest Christians confirmed the idea that\ntheir Apocalyptic views were absolutely right\nand God would soon intervene in history."\n\n"THE PROBLEM OF COURSE IS THAT IT DIDN'T\nHAPPEN. THE END NEVER CAME." Somehow this\n"problem" -- that the beliefs and\npredictions of Jesus and the disciples were\nwrong -- didn't prove a hindrance to the\nspread of Christianity.

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

Darwin recanted on his death bed.  Scientist and anti-religious people have taken Darwin's work and made it into something that he never intended.  This is the work of the devil.  Darwin never intended evil---he was a scientist doing a scientist's job.  By like so many innocent people, his work was seized upon by agents of the devil in an effort to discredit the Bible and form a foundation for the atheist movement, which has infected every aspect of our society.  This infection of the devil is why our Western civilization is in such a mess---Jesus has been thrown into the proverbial jail while the devil has been allowed to run rampant over the earth.  Only Christ can resolve this situation and he will when the devil is defeated and tossed into the bottomless pit.
