Genesis 1:28
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Replenish - v. verb To fill or make complete again; add a new stock or supply to. replenish the larder. To inspire or nourish. The music will replenish my weary soul. To become full again Now I understand translation from language to language are never "precise". So I got the notion to bring this discussion up. Just strikes me funny "replenish" is used at the "creation" of the world. I understand some translation use different words such as "fill the Earth" in the English Standard version and probably other's. But that's from a translation of a translation. Anyways lol, my point is. As far as I know, the bible never refers to "dinosaurs". And we all know dinosaurs and man could never have lived on the planet at the same time. So my thought was, the dinosaurs were here, then they died however they died out "the how they did is moot to the topic". But do you think this is said that way because the dinosaurs roamed the planet, then God had to basically "remake" the planet so to speak to be suitable for man? And God did throw Satan to the Earth to crawl on his belly. Genesis 3:14 14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: I understand it says "serpent" and not specifically Satan. But it was the serpent that tempted and we all know who tempts us to Sin. So think maybe Satan and his following angels were thrown to the ground as dinosaurs so to speak, till their physical being died off? Please don't take me wrong lol, this is just speculation, thought, idea, brain storming kind of stuff. Not saying anything is specifically true bout this idea of a theory lol. Just food for thought. |

interesting thoughts cowboy here is an interesting page on dinosaurs in the bible.. http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/dinos.shtml Interesting, thanks msharmony :). Makes sense to. Every "beast" has it's purpose on Earth in one way or other. It's quite possible God could have made the dinosaurs before man in itself, then destroyed the "destructive" kind of dinosaurs so that man could live here. And on top of that, the body's of the dinosaurs would give the world different elements/nutrients, or whatever it would be referred to as. Such as the oil we have. And we're back to the cause and effect that the world is ruled under. Without the dinosaurs we would never have had oil deposits in the Earth. Without the oil deposits we would never have invented the combustible engine or other similar machines. Without those machines we would never have progressed in the world such as we have. |

In 1611, the word replenish meant to fill, by 1891 it meant to fill again

Everyone talks about the antichrist, or satan, but anything that is NOT of God is of satan. There is a scripture that says pretty much that, not that i know where it is. |
