Yes, you are, because T-Rex is an animal God made. T-Rex was originally vegetarian since by God's Word, He made all animals originally vegetarian.

Before jumping the gun, you might want to read up on other books written by men of God such as Enoch who revealed many details about the first millennium, the fallen angels and the creation of the nephilim which were genetic mutations satan had created in his attempt to destroy mankind before the flood.

By shear logic alone, if God created dinosaurs, He would of had some of the smallest dinosaurs that can fit into the ark to go be with Noah. Not one dinosaur was saved.


God's primary purpose of the flood were not to destroy man due to sin, but to save man from satan's creations. God tried to save as many people as possible by having Noah preached of the coming flood for 120 years while his three sons were the primary builders of the ark.

The Purpose of the Flood in Noah’s Day
Many pastors, Bible scholars and Bible skeptics alike view the flood as God’s way of dealing with humanity after humanity just sinning too much. However, with all due respect, this is a very simplistic way of looking at the flood. After all, today’s society is just as corrupt and depraved, if not far worse than any era before (more people have been killed in war in the past century than in the prior 900 years). So why would such a global judgment only happen in Noah’s day? The answer is that there were far more complex issues going on in the days of Noah then just humans sinning.
The flood served 3 chief purposes: 1) To destroy the Nephilim giants. 2) To punish the angels who committed the illicit relations with women and make an example of them so that no other angels would ever attempt this again and 3) to save humanity from certain destruction.

Much more than the “over-reaction by an angry God” as skeptics like to paint it, the flood was God’s way of preserving the human race and its bloodline, before it became completely corrupted by the Nephilim giants. This is an important point: many people today point to the flood as “proof” that God is cruel and angry with humanity all the time, and willing to just kill millions of people in genocide on a whim. However the Biblical truth was that God sent the flood to preserve humanity and to make sure we could still receive the promised Redeemer who could save our souls. Without Jesus Christ, there is no hope. There is no future. There is no forgiveness. Meaning every person would spend eternity in hell. The flood was God’s way to keep that hope for all people.

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Noah was chosen to carry on and re-start humanity after the flood because he was a believer in God. Additionally he was “perfect in his generations” which meant that his genetic bloodline and ancestry was 100% human. Noah had not been a part of the Nephilim hybridization that was plaguing humanity. The Hebrew word for “perfect” in that verse is tamiym, which means “complete, whole” with reference to health and physical condition. This is the same word used to describe the condition of animal sacrifices to the Lord: Thus Noah, his three sons and their wives were able to survive the flood and re-start humanity. But unfortunately, the Nephilim giants returned.

"Let see the program on the 5Th day God created all the animal walking on the Earth including all the big dinosaurs to be vegetarians ....then on the 6Th day God created Adam and Eve ....Adam and Eve falled in sin few moments after their creation then God cursed all the animals and the T-rex to became carnivorous until the flood who destroyed them all ."

Okay, what about this is not mocking?
I call that running (like a computer program) your curse theory until it's ultimate limits....and adding some humor to the final output.

And the Bible doesn't say when T-Rex became carnivorous.
The Bible NEVER talked that T-Rex or something remotly similar ever existed at the same time that Adam and Eve at all.
-Do you know that GOD caused a TOTAL Flood destruction covering the whole Earth eons of time before Noah's flood .This was at the time when Satan rebelled against God....Eons of time before the creation of Adam and Eve.


The mention of that catastrophic event is mentioned in Genesis 1:2a .The earth was totally covered by water and deep darkness for eon of time UNTIL that God decided to reshape the surface of the earth.Starting in Genesis 1:2b......Genesis 1:9-10 ect...


-Do you know that you are totally wrong when you say that God created the Earth before the Universe.

Genesis 1

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth became unform, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep./ And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Genesis 1
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
It probably didn't happen until after the flood (similar to the way men weren't allowed to eat meat until after the flood). The animals obviously weren't eating meat on the ark.
You can be assured that T-Rex was never invited in the ark with lady T-Rex...The times of T-Rex on Earth was terminated eon of time before Noah's flood.

By definition based on YOUR CURSE theory.... the whole Earth creation became cursed as soon as Adam and Eve falled...that mean that if a vegetarian T-Rex existed at the time of Satan and Eve sin it was immediately transformed into carnivorus T- Rex that we find the remains.

Biblically, it says God took two (or more) of every kind of air-breathing animal--male and female. I think it's insulting that you are insinuating the dinosaurs weren't created by God but are a manipulation of another creature spawned by fallen angels. This is not about the Nephilim. Since you weren't on the ark, you can't say that no dinosaur was saved. If you believe the Bible, you can trust they were. God could have brought young dinosaurs instead of full grown if He wanted them to take up less space. Many cultures have dragons in their folklore, probably because the earlier generations after the flood saw dinosaurs. Just because they died off between the flood and today doesn't mean the dinosaurs didn't make it on the ark.

They were still around in Job's lifetime, at least one type was.

Job 40:15-24
15 “Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you;
He eats grass like an ox.
16 See now, his strength is in his hips,
And his power is in his stomach muscles.
17 He moves his tail like a cedar;
The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.
18 His bones are like beams of bronze,
His ribs like bars of iron.
19 He is the first of the ways of God;
Only He who made him can bring near His sword.
20 Surely the mountains yield food for him,
And all the beasts of the field play there.
21 He lies under the lotus trees,
In a covert of reeds and marsh.
22 The lotus trees cover him with their shade;
The willows by the brook surround him.
23 Indeed the river may rage,
Yet he is not disturbed;
He is confident, though the Jordan gushes into his mouth,
24 Though he takes it in his eyes,
Or one pierces his nose with a snare.

Behemoth sounds like a sauropod to me ("tail like a cedar").

.

Jesus' main point appears to be that the wicked will be taken when Christ returns, even as they were taken in Noah's day (destroyed). They might not be shocked to see the Son of Man appearing in the sky (they will have heard the truth even as they slaughtered believers). But it won't go well with them, even as it didn't go well with everyone but Noah's family. The carcasses of the wicked will become food for vultures. Compare Matthew 24 and Luke 17 to understand this.

But, see, they are not all the same person at all. That's why you never find the term "Antichrist" use din the Book of Revelations ort Daniel, either. The term "Antichrist" properly used, used in the way Scripture uses it, is simply someone who has trouble accepting the humanity of Christ, which was and is a major issue in theology. The Beast in the Book of Revelations is something all together different. I view the Book of Revelations as a symbolic way of talking about the Roman Empire at the time and hopping for its downfall. So with Revelations we're concerned with the ruling powers, not person having trouble with the humanity of Christ. Dig?
The Antichrist is someone who the Jews will embrace as their long awaited promised great King of Israel, son of David, instead of Jesus the rightful king of Israel. The person doesn't become the Antichrist until he is anointed King of Israel.

He is only in the Antichrist role for 3 years, 4 months (thereabouts), before he reveals himself as the man of sin - which his actions will cause the Jews to reject him from continuing as their King of Israel.

God has the person the revealed man of sin killed, then in disdain for the person brings him back to life, at which time the person becomes possessed by the disembodied spirit of the original beast currently in the bottomless pit, Nimrod imo. From that point forward the person is called the beast in Revelation.

The person revealing himself as the man of sin has to happen before midpoint of the 7 years, because the image of him, which is after he is killed and comes back to life, the AOD, is setup to be worshiped..... 1335 days before Jesus returns.

That works out to be on day 1185, 75 days before the exact midpoint. Which is why we can figure the person is in the Antichrist role for around 3 years, 4 months of the 7 years, basically the first half. The rest of the time, he is considered the beast.

Based on the these folklore accounts dragons were able to fly in the air and fire came out of their mouth.

Based on verse 21 and 22 Your sauropod /brontosaurus is most likely a hyppopotamus....

Interesting theory however Daniel 7:25 says time times half time, or 3.5 years Revelation 13:4 this beast (anti christ), is given authority, by Satan for 42 months. Revelation 11:2 his army tramples the holy city for 42 months. Again, 42 months is 3.5 years is the same time period. Only it's closer to 1298 days. Of course more than Daniel 12:11, which is 1290 days because the scattering of Gods holy people will Daniel 12:7 will begin before the abomination of desolation. Luke 21:20 this shows scattering before desolation. The 3.5 years above will begin before a leap year (intercalary year), in the Hebrew calendar allowing for more than 1290 days in a 3.5 year period. As Daniel 12:7 begins before Daniel 12:11 but will conclude at the same time. When the Lord Daniel 7:26 Daniel 9:27 where a complete destruction which is decreed on the one who makes desolate (anti christ). Look, 42 months is 42 months, or 3.5 years. 42 months can't be 40 months, like you say, 3 years 4 months. So you've got 3.5 years or 42 months anti christ given authority by the dragon. Then the abomination of desolation a few days after his army invaded 1290 days stands until his (anti christs) decreed destruction. Joel 2:20 Zechariah 14:3. There's your timeline.

I know what Gen. 1:30 says. That isn't the problem. The problem I have with what you are saying is that you assume Scripture is inerrant. I call that the inerrancy theory, because that is what it is, a man-made theory about Scripture. Like any human-made theory, maybe it is true, maybe it is not. I tested it and I hold it is false. Secondly, you seem to be assuming original sin, which I hold to be unbiblical, to start with. So I have no trouble saying that T-Rex was a meat eater. I don't worry how Genesis relates to Christ's atonement, since, again, I don't hold with original sin. Furthermore, I do not hold with the penal-substitutionary theory of the atonement.
These are all foundational biblical doctrines which you have rejected.

Salvation involves faith in Jesus' sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins (made possible due to penal-substitutionary atonement) and personal repentance.

Don't deceive yourself--what you have left after taking scissors to the Bible (whatever that is) is your own religion and it cannot not save you from your sins.

The Bible gives us 3 ways of ascertaining the same time period. 3.5 years, 42 months and 1260 days. This only works out if a month is 30 days long.
There are ancient records that prove the month WAS just 30 days then. The calendar changes at about the time of the Exodus, when a comet passed close to the earth, mentioned in many legends and on cave drawings, etc.
When we carefully study the many prophesies about what God will use on His Day of wrath, the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster, we read about the cosmic things that will occur on that Day. So there may be another cometary bypass or what best fits the vivid descriptions of that Day: a Coronal Mass Ejection, that will literally fulfill all that is prophesied and the hit of a multi billion ton mass will speed up our orbit to a 360 day year. Isaiah 13:13

The Hebrew calendar is not like you're thinking there's not 30 days per month. There's 354-355 days in a normal year and about every 3 years they have have a Leap year, to make their calendar line up with the lunar calendar. A leap year has 384-385 days. They double the 12th month of Adar during a leap year. Adar 1 and Adar 2 are still considered the 12 month. According to the Torah, prophets and writings. So leap year still technically has 12 months, even though Adar is doubled. So 42 months and 3.5 years. Scripture tells us what the situation will be.

The sauropod makes the most sense to me, since it's the legs and belly are strong and it has a powerful, long tail.
The majority of people who have analysed the details of listed in Job 40:15-24 goes with the hippopotamus theory.If you think that this is a brontosaurus and that a lotus tree can cover his whole size go for it.

Adam and Even were not created on the sixth day. In Gen. 1, maybe. But in Gen. 2, first Adam was created, then animals, then Eve.
So what you are suggesting is that the Bible was hardly written when God began to contradict Himself? Or was it modern biblical scholarship that gave us such wonderful insights into Scripture. The fact of the matter is that Genesis 1 is the overview, while Genesis 2 focuses on everything related to mankind. Writers provide overviews frequently before they get into specifics.

However this is a far cry from the topic. Why do people believe in a Rapture? Because that is one of the doctrines in the New Testament. Why don't people believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture? Because they prefer to go along with the doctrines of men.

The Bible gives us 3 ways of ascertaining the same time period. 3.5 years, 42 months and 1260 days. This only works out if a month is 30 days long.
There are ancient records that prove the month WAS just 30 days then. The calendar changes at about the time of the Exodus, when a comet passed close to the earth, mentioned in many legends and on cave drawings, etc.
When we carefully study the many prophesies about what God will use on His Day of wrath, the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster, we read about the cosmic things that will occur on that Day. So there may be another cometary bypass or what best fits the vivid descriptions of that Day: a Coronal Mass Ejection, that will literally fulfill all that is prophesied and the hit of a multi billion ton mass will speed up our orbit to a 360 day year. Isaiah 13:13
you're incorrect. 1260 days will not be the complete 3.5 year period. We are talking about what the situation will be when this occurs. Such as is now. Right now I have described how the ecclesiastical Hebrew calendar is. Prophets see things as they are in the future. When Daniel was given to this prophecy, for the future, it's irrelevant what it was like in the past. Or are we speaking of the time of the Exodus? No we are not he prophesied what it will be like in the future (our present). You might want to read what I posted a little more thoroughly.

However this is a far cry from the topic. Why do people believe in a Rapture? Because that is one of the doctrines in the New Testament.
Why are you still unable to show us a Bible verse saying that the Church will be taken to Heaven before the Tribulation.

Paul wrote that we will be cauht up in the clouds to meet Jesus in the air UNTO the Coming of the Lord.
You imagine and dream of a trip to Heaven which is not even mentioned in Paul's letters.

okay you're being confused by the book of revelation. You also don't understand that the 2 witnesses will start prophesying about 25 days after the abomination of desolation is in place. Please, study the current Hebrew calendar a little more thoroughly. We're not talking about the past, we're talking about now.

I call that running (like a computer program) your curse theory until it's ultimate limits....and adding some humor to the final output.


The Bible NEVER talked that T-Rex or something remotly similar ever existed at the same time that Adam and Eve at all.
-Do you know that GOD caused a TOTAL Flood destruction covering the whole Earth eons of time before Noah's flood .This was at the time when Satan rebelled against God....Eons of time before the creation of Adam and Eve.


The mention of that catastrophic event is mentioned in Genesis 1:2a .The earth was totally covered by water and deep darkness for eon of time UNTIL that God decided to reshape the surface of the earth.Starting in Genesis 1:2b......Genesis 1:9-10 ect...


-Do you know that you are totally wrong when you say that God created the Earth before the Universe.

Genesis 1

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth became unform, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep./ And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Genesis 1
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

You can be assured that T-Rex was never invited in the ark with lady T-Rex...The times of T-Rex on Earth was terminated eon of time before Noah's flood.

By definition based on YOUR CURSE theory.... the whole Earth creation became cursed as soon as Adam and Eve falled...that mean that if a vegetarian T-Rex existed at the time of Satan and Eve sin it was immediately transformed into carnivorus T- Rex that we find the remains.

There's no gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, as proven by Exodus 20:11. Your fantastical theories of destruction and recreation are unbiblical.

The earth is visible on day 1 - the celestial bodies weren't created until day 4.

The curse is not my idea; it was God's.

You are not mocking me, but God.

Why are you still unable to show us a Bible verse saying that the Church will be taken to Heaven before the Tribulation.
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:1-3).

1. Do you see any mention of the Tribulation here?
2. Does "let not your heart be troubled" cancel out Tribulation?
3. Is the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation for the unbelieving and the ungodly?
4. Do you see the words "church" or "churches" between Revelation 6 and 18 (which describe the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation)?.
