I will say though, that somethings aren't as clear as we'd like them to be in the bible. For instance if Adam and Eve were the only couple in the world, did Eve have to reproduce with her offspring? The same with Noah...
Or the fact that the bible never mentions Dinosaurs, but we know they existed because we have bones to prove it.

But I'll study up some more and maybe ask my preacher tonight at church and get back to ya. Cool?
Plus one for no snakes.
Pentecostals love the eternal hell doctrine even more then Baptists.
If I were you I'd study for myself. My .02

Indeed, the Bible can be confusing on some points. To me the answer is multiple..some things arent nessessary for us the created to know. Other things (answers) are in the Book just not discovered by us as individuals.

As to dinosaurs...to me the Bible infers something. God destroyed the world by flood (Noah) because man "worshiped the creature more then the Creator" and because man was evil continually. The Scripture states the God saved "that which he had made" or pairs and sevens etc of that life. That tells me he DIDNT save what he did not make.

Think about it...mans lifespan before the flood was nearly 1000 years. Humans then were much more "pefect" and closer to what Adam was then are we. They were much more perfect in their knowlege and wisdom. Their worship of the creature obviously included manipulating God's creation...making, breeding, cloning whatever..dinasours. When God destroyed
the earth he destroyed those works of men too.

It says "as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in day of the coming of the Son...." What are earthly scientists involved in today??? Hmmm cloning...genetic manipulation etc etc

And contrary to popular opinion man and dinasour have been found in the same layer of earth. There are even tracks that appear to be of a large human leading a dinasour.
