Dinosaurs and the Holy Bible

With all due respect don't try this bs on me.

1. What I've posted is from here: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/nofaps-forum-posting-rules.121256/. General rules applicable for the whole forum and this section in particular are described there.
2. You wouldn't ask the question whether dinosaurs are compatible with the Chronicles of Narnia, would you? The question and the answers are clearly religious in nature.

I won't participate in this semantic nonsense anymore so feel free to argue with someone else, preferably yourself.

 

The OT is not a history book, it was not written to us. It was written to the people of its day. They did not have the same understanding of history as we do. It would make no sense for God to teach ancient Peoples about dinosaurs. What the OT conveys is Gods Power and authority. It is not a literal history is every way. The Bible is true for what it is and of course, dinosaurs are real as well, we have the proof.

 

Why do you have such a problem with a single thread on religion? Its not a personal attack on you. You can simply avoid it. Why the animosity?

 

First of all, it doesn't matter what I think. Having this thread in here is against the forum rules and if those are to be respected that ought to be enough.

Second of all, I already said why I inserted myself in here. Any person that comes to this page and see this conversation will inevitably come to the conclusion that fapstronauts are religious nutcases who believe in literal Noah's flood and mythical creatures and/or that we think we understand biology better than the biologists. Not a good look.
Now, in a spirit of the marketplace of ideas people could respond to every misguided message that popped up here and try and distance themselves from it but that would be a lot of work. Instead, it would be nice if this whole ridiculous thread got moved where it belongs, in the religious sections. That way the "...nofap is a secular website..." thing might actually look plausible to newcomers. Was that really that hard to understand?

Do as you wish.

 

Don't let being hurt by the church affect your view on God. Whether you believe or not, he loves you deeply.

 

No, but you clearly have emotional issues with religion. I edited my post to say "why the animosity"?

Prove your point first.

Of all the wacko threads you choose religion? There are so many weird threads on nofap. I mean REALLY weird. Nofap is a website for human "issues", and many there are. Christianity, while some may vehemently criticize it, is NOT on the scale of some of the things I've seen on here. Its simply more aggressive.

What? Just don't click the thread.

 

Those fish are actually much older than dinosaurs. T-rex lived 70M years ago, coelacanths go back 400M years!

 

My great grandad actually caught one of those. Wish I had a picture

 

May I ask - how do you know you have a gift of healing?

I am a devout Christian and I believe in science. I think the old testament stories are narratives to communicate a theme. Also, I do not believe in the power of healing you can order up from God as if he was our servant. If healing like that were real it would be a form of healthcare. I just want people to know.......You can be a Christain in need of a savior and not push beliefs on others and not believe in fantastical stories and take science for what it is.

 

Healing is real, and it is quite close to what you described because the price is already paid for. (Isaiah 53, 1 Peter 2:24)
A good illustration is Matthew 10 where Jesus tells his disciples to go and heal the sick (not pray to God for that). Then Matthew 17 tackles this issue again.
