Question?

[duezee]

In the bible it speaks of the the creation of the earth and life.
Why does it not mention anything about the prehistoric creatures before man? Were dinosoaurs made by god also?
Also if you have no faith in god and jesus there is a good chance you will not make it to heaven. Does that mean that all other people in the world with different religions are wrong and will go to hell?
Not trying to offend anyone but was really curious.

No offense and good questions! It is written that all people will hear the truth of the Word of God! That truth has not fully been revealed but to a few! It is coming and soon!
2Ti 4:17¶Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and [that] all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.KJV

2Ti 4:17But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion's mouth.
It did meantion the dinosaurs in the bible. They were not saved during the flood of the earth!
Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.

I still dont understand.

All people will hear the full truth of the Word of God. Including people of different religions. If they dont turn to God and Jesus Christ they will persish in the flames.

Wished I knew all the answers ..but I don't but will share a couple thoughts..

I know Jesus said in Matthew 24 that he wouldn't come back until the gospel had been preached to all the nations...the internet could be one of God's sources..

Also..in Rev. we see and angel flying forth preaching the gospel

Also..when Jesus decended in the lower parts of the earth the word says he preached to the people in Noah's time...

I'm no expert but beleive everyone will have a chance..Romans in the early chapters tells us that they are without excuse for the law of God is in their hearts and creation testifies of the handiwork of God.

We just had a 28 page thread on this issue a few months ago and those of us on the opposite sides of the debate are still catching our breath from that last go round. You may want to check the archives from a few months ago and look for "New Dinosaur Discovery" and get a feel for who said what about the issue since it may be a while before many of us are ready to do battle on this topic again.

As Lemaitre said, we are still recovering from the debates we've had over creation/evolution and there is a lot of info if you care to search in those threads. To quickly answer your first question without going into a lot of detail and starting another debate, let me say that many of us believe that the "prehistoric creatures" you referred to are mentioned in the Bible and were here at the same time as man having been created by God only days before man. Read Job 40 and 41 to see the accounting of dinosaurs in the Bible.

To answer your second question briefly, Christians believe that in order to get into Heaven, you must place your faith in Jesus and accept Christ's sacrifice on the cross as payment for your sins. That means admitting to God that you are a sinner unable to save yourself and asking the Lord to save you by accepting His miraculous sacrificial death on the cross for you. Believe in Him and ask Him to be your Lord and Saviour. Trusting in Jesus and placing your faith in Him is the only way to get into Heaven regardless of your denomination. God's Word is very clear about this. Anyone who rejects this is going to miss out on God's gift and be doomed to hell. It may sound harsh, but it's reality.

Really?

When?

How?

Millions died in just the past year who never heard the name of Jesus. Millions die in that same condition every year.
Groups like Wycliffe Bible Translators are trying to translate the Bible into the thousands of languages in which it has never been translated.
With all those millions dying in the flames, God must surely be pleased with all that!
Can you spell legalism?

Call it and spell it how ever you wish! God wishes that none perish. But God has a track record of dealing with the disobedient. Look at Sodom and Gahmorrah. Noah and the flood and if you look in Rev it is going to happen again. There are more than a million that died last year and never heard the name of Jesus because Jesus is not part of the bull the people of the world have heard being taught. They wont repent if they heard the truth. Thus the reason the truth hasnt been revealed. But when troubled times arrive and they are near, then some people will listen. Not all will be stiff necked and happy in their sins. The people of Nineveh repented when God gave them warning!

The same can be asked for earlier species of humans, like Homo floresiensis, or the Neanderthal. But like stated previously, check the archives, because I am tired of getting myself banned! haha
