PS- I once believed that the dinosaurs were mentioned in Job 41. I was wrong about that.
Royalty, why did you change your mind?
Toxy, remember this?

1) why aren't the dinasours mentioned in the bible, koran or torah?
2) why did god take a 65 mil yr break after the dinasours die to make man?
Hi Toxy,
1) Some people believe that a dinosaur is referred to in Job 15-19:
"Look at the behemoth, which I made along w/you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron."
Also some people believe that a sea-creature dinosaur is referred to in Job 41:1-15
"Can you pull in the leviathan w/a fishhook or tie down his tongue w/a rope? Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw w/a hook? Will he keep begging your for mercy? Will he speak to you w/gentle words? Will hhe make an agreement w/you for you to take him as your slave for life? Can you make a pet of him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls? Will traders barter for him? Will they divide him up among the merchants? Can you fill his hide w/harpoons or his head w/fishing spears? If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the struggle and never do it again! And hope of subduing him is false; the mere sight of him is overpowering. No one is fierce enough to rouse him."
Leviathan is also mentioned in Isaiah 27:1:
"In that day the Lord will punish w/his sword, his fierce, great and powerful sword, Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coililng serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea."
Leviathan also in Psalm 74:14 and Psalm 104:26.
And as someone else said on that other thread, not everything that has existed is mentioned in the bible.
