Troubles with Neighbours

[Austin Strait]

I recently entrusted my son to my neighbour to babysit for the weekend, I had to go away on Work. My neighbour claims to be an honest Christian so I was none the wiser at the time.

On my return I find out that she had bought my Son a Dinosaur toy! The Bible doesn't say anything about dinosaurs. Should I let him keep them, as long as he understands that dinosaurs aren't real? Even the shows that he watches talk about dinosaurs and evolution, and how scientists found these "bones" but the Bible doesn't say that God ever created them, and the earth is only 6,000 years old, not old enough to have "bones" that they say are MILLIONS of years old! I know that Satan tries to trick us in many ways, and that is one way that he tries to fool man into believing that there isn't a God who created the universe.

How can they be bones when they are made out of ROCKS? I told my son that dinosaurs are one of Satan's many ways of tricking man, and he must talk to God before he plays with them. Am I handling this right? Or should I be worried that he may go on to believe in absurd things like evolution?

Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

Re: Troubles with Neighbours

First of all, make sure your son will never again be exposed to your false Christian neighbor. Just look at all the trouble that friendship has brought upon you. Actively reject him from now on.

Any talk about evolution is heresy and wrong. Teach your son this, once and for all.

It looks like this whole episode has made your son very confused; starting to question what is real or not. If think the best solution would be just to replace the plastic dinosaur with a KJV 1611 Bible. Then have him read it until there is no more confusion.

Re: Troubles with Neighbours

On the contrary. If your son has a similar scale human figure he can learn through play how dinosaurs conexisted with people before the great flood.

Buy him a unicorn, too. Such play is an important (if minor) adjutant to Bible study and punishment for inculcating the child into being open minded about the right kind if things.

Why do you think dinosaurs aren't real?

They're in the Bible. Haven't you read it?

Even the shows that he watches talk about dinosaurs and evolution, and how scientists found these "bones" but the Bible doesn't say that God ever created them, and the earth is only 6,000 years old, not old enough to have "bones" that they say are MILLIONS of years old!

They're not millions of years old, but they're quite real. What do you think "dragons" and "behemoth" and "leviathan" refer to in the Bible?

How can they be bones when they are made out of ROCKS? I told my son that dinosaurs are one of Satan's many ways of tricking man, and he must talk to God before he plays with them. Am I handling this right? Or should I be worried that he may go on to believe in absurd things like evolution?

No. You're not handling this right.

You should go over what Answers in Genesis has to say about dinosaurs in the Bible:

http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/1999/11/05/dinosaurs-and-the-bible

Here's just a tiny sample of this wealth of Creation Science. The AiG site is full of it, as any True Christian(tm) will agree!

In Genesis 6, we read that all flesh (man and animals) had “corrupted his way upon the Earth” (Genesis 6:12). Perhaps people and animals were killing each other; maybe dinosaurs had started killing other animals and humans. In any case, the Bible describes the world as “wicked.”

Because of this wickedness, God warned a godly man named Noah that He was going to destroy the world with a Flood (Genesis 6:13). God therefore commanded him to build a great ship (the Ark) so that all the kinds of land animals (which must have included dinosaurs) and Noah’s family could survive on board while the Flood destroyed the entire Earth (Genesis 6:14–20).

Some people think that dinosaurs were too big, or there were too many of them, to go on this Ark. However, there were not very many different kinds of dinosaurs. There are certainly hundreds of dinosaur names, but many of these were given to just a bit of bone or skeletons of the same dinosaur found in other countries. It is also reasonable to assume that different sizes, varieties, and sexes of the same kind of dinosaur have ended up with different names. For example, look at the many different varieties and sizes of dogs, but they are all the same kind—the dog kind! In reality, there may have been fewer than 50 kinds of dinosaurs.

God sent two of every (seven of some) land animal into the Ark (Genesis 7:2–3; 7:8–9)—there were no exceptions. Therefore, dinosaurs must have been on the Ark. Even though there was ample room in the huge ship for large animals, perhaps God sent young adults into the Ark that still had plenty of room for them to grow.

Well, what happened to all the land animals that did not go on the Ark? Very simply, they drowned. Many would have been covered with tons of mud as the rampaging water covered the land (Genesis 7:11–12,19). Because of this quick burial, many of the animals would have been preserved as fossils. If this happened, you would expect to find evidence of billions of dead things buried in rock layers (formed from this mud) all over the Earth. This is exactly what you do find.

On mKS? I told my son that dinosaurs are one of Satan's many ways of tricking man, and he must talk to God before he plays with them. Am I handling this right? Or should I be worried that he may go on to believe in absurd things like evolution?

Dinosaurs were real creatures just like all the mammoths that roamed the
earth. This subject is usually taught in junior school, did you not go to
school.
God did not create them if you read about evolution.Have you considered putting your son up for an adoption
Preferably to an ATHEIST family? You so obviously are
not fit to be a parent. If you wish to handle this right there is only one thing you can do.
You must take your son upon to the nearest mountain with a sharp
knife, if you have no mountains nearby any high rise will do, and
sacrifice your son to god to show you are really, really sorry.

Please ignore the hateful atheist scum, folks. Why would anyone follow his advice to take a child up a mountain and sacrifice him to God? The mental breakdown of poor Tom and his advice he dreams up out of his own head is reaching its natural conclusion, I fear.

Only some sort of maniac would tell a man to do such a thing and actually mean him to do it.

Re: Troubles with Neighbours

Absolutely, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES, should you allow your son to keep those abominations! They are Godless pieces of plastic and Sin! Take them outside and burn them immediately or the demons in them may make their way into your precious little boy.

I am concerned that, according to your post, you allow your son access to that Devilbox some people call "television". Don't you realize that, in this modern age of Smart phones and Xbox, TV is one of Satan's #1 mediums to prey on the souls of the innocent? For every minute your precious little boy spends watching Dora the Illegal Immmigrant, that's another minute Satan has access to his young, oh-so-tender soul. Please, brother-or-sister-in-Christ, listen to my words and take heed; the soul of your blessed little boy is at stake!

This is exactly what happens when you spend too many years in junior school. Delusion… Poor Tom, so lost. He should pick up a Bible this instant.

Yup...you should take advice from a guy who (mis)quotes Hitler.

Re: Troubles with Neighbours

Yes, sadly, poor Tom has finally succumbed to demon infestation. Please don't try to make sense of his posts. It's only a matter of time before people close to him notice him drooling.

Wouldn’t like to be the one washing his clothes; most likely more than a full time job.

Re: Troubles with Neighbours

I doubt it matters much whether you allow him to keep the dinosaur or what you tell him. Your son is already doomed to a life of ignorance. If he follows your lead he will never get into a respectable university and he will be unlikely to ever get a job above the level of laborer, and his understanding of the world he lives in will forever be severely limited, just as yours is.

You are right not to want him to have a toy dinosaur!

Why, you might as well just invite a demon into your home who will crawl into your son's rectum and turn him gay!

In Miss Johnson's picture it looks like that one at the front is bowing down, perhaps to an idol

Have you noticed any similar behaviour in your son?

Deuteronomy 5:8-9a Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them:
KJV . context

..so a couple of commandments being demonstrated there. I would be concerned.
