Everyone who has come to know Jesus and who reads the Bible with discernment cannot help but find that the Bible is still a fascinating book.

Even if the stories told in the Bible are not all true or happened exactly as it is told, we still find that it teaches us a lot about God’s nature if we read with discernment.

Non-believers often challenge Christians with stories like Jonah who was swallowed by a giant fish, or the ten plagues in Egypt and the Red Sea opening so that the Israelites could walk through on dry land, or the Creation story in Genesis where it is stated that God created the Earth in six days. What if all of these things did not really happen exactly as it is written? Will you stop believing in Jesus as the Messiah, the only Son of God? What if the Red Sea did not part quite as it is described, or Jonah is simply a myth, or Daniel did not really have to face a den full of hungry lions? Will your faith in God diminish and completely vanish? Or will you, as we said before, simply shrug and say – it doesn’t matter if it happened or not, I still believe in Jesus and in God and I believe with all my heart that if God had wanted to part the Sea, or have Jonah rescued by a fish, He could absolutely do it, and He still can, because My God is still the only living God. What does it matter if the Earth was created in six days or six million years? God is still the one who created it. So, Genesis does not state explicitlythat God created dinosaurs long before He created humans, still none of us can deny that dinosaurs existed here on earth before we did. We have the scientific proof of it. They did not just appear out of thin air, they were made by the Creator on purpose. Since God is the only real God and the only Almighty being who could have created such wonderful creatures as the dinosaurs, it was surely God who created them before He decided to create us. So even though they are not mentioned in Genesis we know God created dinosaurs. Does this invalidate everything we read in the Bible about God and Jesus? No, it simply teaches us that not everything about God is written down in a book and that not everything about Him that is written down is the truth.

Do you see how that makes sense?
