Read some of the passages and you tell me. Clearly some of the are mistranslations of desert or sea creatures. Others alude to a vengeful or horrific creature.

Well, some call their mother-in-law a dragon, but that doesn't make them as such.
Originally posted by FabianFnas Does the bible mention the Loch Ness monster, the phoenix, the dragons?
No, but the KJ bible mention the unicorn. So the JK bible has flaws in its translation. That's my point.
In the time of King James, the one-horned rhino was called a unicorn...hence that word used in the translation from the Hebrew word for the rhinoceros.

Well, let me ask you this. There is another thread in the forum where there is a debate about humans existing along side the triceretops dinosaur. I ask your opinion as you are a Christian, have lived longer than most people on this site, and live in an area where it is believed there were a lot of dinosaurs at one time. Did mankind ever see a living triceratops, maybe even saddle one up and ride one?

No. They were extinct by the time humans came on this earth in my opinion. I know that this is disputed by some good people on this site and elsewhere. And I could be proven wrong. But the fossils of those dinosaurs are not to be disputed. You are correct in saying that I live in an area where they abound. I have personally picked up fossils of sea snails and other shells imbedded in fossilized rocks in the dry buttes around Glendive, Montana. This shows that it was once under water. But however the earth was formed, and people came upon this earth, as well as the time involved, I truly believe that it was done in the timing and planning of God. Our minds are finite and cannot understand everything. He takes that into consideration when we differ on details.

Since you're the oldest living person on the site, we should just accept it as "gospel" and be done with it. Mankind and dinosaurs never met. Except for maybe alligators and snapping turtles.
Do any of these verses actually say Dragons exist? No, of course they don't. They meerly make reference to them to emphasise something, for instance the Satan as a dragon metaphor, or "their wine is the poison of dragons...". Also, a number of different translations refer to "Jackals" as opposed to "Dragons".
