When it comes to life on earth, I believe our planet was seeded just like we will plant our seed on another planet, assuming we live that long.

Life on other planets without a spirit does not bother me."I just don't have any conclusions on why on earth dinosaurs they were ever here in the first place, or any prehistoric animals...they seemed to have served no purpose.
I guess that is why I could believe that there are maybe inhabitations on some planet somewhere. It "seems' that God doesn't always 'have' to have a reason or purpose ...as with the prehistoric earth.
...whenever it was pre-Adam."
The existence of dinosaurs have always thrown me when it comes to the things of God. I cannot even imagine what His purpose could have been for them but,...God. ♥
And who's to say that God does not have some form of life on certain planets? I suppose if He wanted us to know then, He would have given it to us
Which throws God and the bible out the window.When it comes to life on earth, I believe our planet was seeded just like we will plant our seed on another planet, assuming we live that long.

There is zero mention of any specific creatures in the Creation Account. So what? The FACTS -- from God's perspective -- are as follows:There is zero mention of dinosaurs in Genesis.
There is zero mention of any specific creatures in the Creation Account. So what? The FACTS -- from God's perspective -- are as follows:
1. The entire universe was created out of nothing in six days (Exodus 20:11)
2. All living creatures on land -- including Adam and Eve -- were created on the sixth day (Gen 1:24-31)
3. Only the animals taken into the Ark survived the universal Flood of Noah's day (Gen 7:15,16)
4. The Bible does not mention dinosaurs since they are irrelevant from God's perspective.
5. There are no dinosaurs today because God allowed them to become extinct.
Now paleantologists etc can and do create myths about dinosaurs and how an asteroid destroyed them etc. but that is pure conjecture. ALL THEY HAVE IS BONES.
Some claim that the term "behemoth" בְ֭הֵמֹות (ve·he·mo·vt) in Job (40:15) applies to dinosaurs, but it could just as well apply to hippos (or elephants). It simply means "a kind of animal".
I think I do believe in a pre Adamic earth...which 'became without form and void' after the fall of Satan from heaven.

My 2 cents isn't worth much
This is my belief so you may dismiss it forthwith and carry on. If you happen to catch one please post a non-photoshopped picture with a smiling alien captioned "what, me worry"?
Its worth as much as anybody else's.
No caption, but a bit of a story. Not photoshopped or any other 'retouching' done to this photo that I took in November 1979. About a month or less after coming to a saving knowledge of Jesus. It was then I felt led to burn my rock & roll albums.
Among the collection were two Jimi Hendrix records. When I put the first one into the fire, I heard a blood curdling sound somewhat similar to the familiar 'creaking door' sound in a haunted house story. Maybe a bit like a scream of agony.
Not in any alphabetical order by the time I had dragged the records out to the driveway to burn them, other albums were tossed in and later I came to the second Hendrix record. Unlike any of the other records, this one too made that same creepy noise. What I started to reason out was that since he was Black and the times were what they were, they just used inferior vinyl to produce his albums. That it is was easily explained by the materials used.
But the Holy Spirit impressed upon me to snap a picture at that moment. (35mm Mamiya Sekor) Still, I only figured that this was to commemorate my new life in Christ and the passing of the old desires and habits. But when the photos were returned from the developing lab, I could not help but notice a seemingly strange image amongst the flames.
I make no claims about this. Just that the above story is true and that I have not doctored this image in any way. Most people say that they see a ghostly image in it. Looks nothing like a flame distorted image of any of the album covers that I owned at the time. I am likely to be ridiculed for this. So be it. Felt it was worth sharing. Like I say, I make no claims about it. What I do notice is some large blackened eye sockets. Not unlike the manifested images of aliens. Though they tend to be inverted pear shaped. This much more of a fat face. Always figured this was demonic and that aliens manifestations are too.
But demons inhabiting an inanimate object doesn't really make sense to me either. Again, just reporting what happened.

Knowing what was going on I asked the man did you see that? He was amazed at what had just happened. I told him the devil dies not want me talking to you about Jesus so is trying to stop our discussion. I believe he was shaken by the scene.
We put our sons name in a baby book that week, tuesday, October 29th,1979.
He was born June 25th, 1980. We planted that baby boy though we loved him and received a son and two daughters.
The evil one shows himself many times but the blood of Jesus and Holy Spirit anointing is our covering. I walked in dark scary places to witness but God told me to go and I was never ever afraid.
What does the devil think of us who have Jesus? The Lord gave me this scripture and I laughed.
Then the king's face grew pale and his thoughts alarmed him, and his hip joints went slack and his knees began knocking together.
Daniel 5:6 NASB
After being troubled with severe heart pains and fearful thoughts in the wee hours for weeks I was called out by a prophet in our church service for prayer for heart problems. I was prayed for and anointed for healing. The next day at work as I was climbing stairs terrible pain shot through my chest and the devil dmsaid he was going to kill me.
I ran up those stairs telling the devil if he could get past the name of Jesus and his blood he had my permission to kill me. That was forty years ago! Jesus is faithful.
Shake the serpent back into the fire and go about your business. Amen
I was getting a tire today and waiting in the waiting room. A TV going and then a gaggle of kids came all with their smart phones. Made a lot of noise, but I was blessed by it as I am almost never around any children. But I was troubled by the content I overheard them playing. They left and a little later an older man came in with his smart phone. By this time I had just sort of bent over and was praying and praising God silently with my eyes closed and hands somewhat folded. A little later this older white man starts blaring some rap music. The song literally was "white boy this and white boy that". I say that only because he was totally white. And old. Made absolutely no sense in the natural. But I knew what was going on.
I've read this in other places. An amazing awesome story. I was saved either in October or early November that year. I never wrote down the date, but I know it was a Wednesday. Your experience further related to me because the only time I have ever lived outside of Texas in my almost 60 years was from either late May or early June of 1980 within a week or two after graduating high school. I moved to Fort Smith. Stayed there until the fall of 1981. Maybe August, maybe September, not sure?
There have been a few other manifestations in my experience too. I have found myself in a few dark scary places that I was not told to go and when witnessing or just even expressing a positive attitude or opinion of God, on one occasion had one I believe was a possessed individual sort of 'hiss' at me. Those eyes. So dark and empty. They were like solid black too. The hair on the back of my hair stood up! But the Lord protected me.
Awesome! Amen. I am somewhat there right now. I have something, but have not seen a doctor yet. I am confessing and believing and doing everything in the natural that I can. Have made tremendous progress and after another two week stint of mild edema on the bottoms of my feet that seems to have resolved in just the last couple of days. The devil has attacked me more in the last month or so that in the last several years when I had become no real threat to him. Why he almost serves as a faith booster! As in "If I am bothering the wicked one that much, I MUST be doing something right!" He has no authority here in my life.
I have decided to get on with life as if no health issue exists. Not denial IMO, but faith. "To live is Christ, to die is gain." If I get taken out, the Devil doesn't win, I do!
Bless you Frank.
I am a native Texan and have family there in Bonham, Fannin County. My GGG grandfather was, Nathaniel T. Journey who settled in that area, fought Indian campaigns and was a Texas ranger. I love my pioneer heritage and my family became Christians.
Jesus is constantly with us and his Holy Spirit is a constant nt comfort. Things we take for granted would amaze many church goers. It's sad how many professed believers reject testimonies of his works. They cheat themselves of so much.
Prayers for you friend. We cannot live in fear, no. Our old pastor used to say if the devil isn't bothering you then examine your life.
Anything that generates fear is not from God. Looking at all of these things through the spirit they are generating nothing but fear.
I have spent hundreds of hours in the Arkansas outdoors here in the Ouachita Mountains, on rivers, in swamps and marshes and never encountered a monster, alien or sasquatch. The scariest things that I don't like are the snakes. We have rattlers, cottonmouths and copperheads. They are more danger than anything. We also have bears roaming around our area.
Seems people enjoy being afraid and getting scared. God delivered me from fear of the dark after I was saved.
As Christians I am more concerned for others I believe than for myself. I pray daily for our protection.
Our life as Christians has been very secluded and strange. For many many years now we've had no church but encourage one another in the Lord. We've seen such a dearth of God's moving since we were saved in the late 70's. Churches we used to attend have grown dry and dead. Revival is much needed.
