Is the seven headed dragon in Revelation a dinosaur?

No, the Chinese Zodiac did not have any of those and there is no proof of their existence. But there is a lot of proof for the existence of the Dragon (dinosaur).

You may not be saying there were but you are strongly implying it.
I must also point out that a Chinese dragon really has nothing to do with a European dragon. They are not the same thing at all.
I wonder why the phoenix does not feature in the Chinese Zodiac. It features quite prominently in the culture.

The other sign is the Rooster, which is called Bird in Taoist Astrology and Phoenix in Tibetan. This gives the tenth Chinese sign greater status. The Vermilion Bird or Phoenix is one of the four great constellations dividing the sky into five palaces (the fifth being the center). As in the West the Phoenix is a symbol of rebirth, transformation and eternity. More than people of other signs, the Phoenix is thought to have a greater potential for becoming a mystic and, or, achieving greatness. In general, however, traits ascribed to the Phoenix are the same as those for the Rooster.

Originally posted by VoidSpiritNo. It does not depend on the Chinese zodiac, that is just one of the many examples of the dragon in history. It actually depends on Saint George slaying a dragon and coverting a city to Christianity. Ha ha 😀

Believeing in God does not depend on dinosaurs or dragons or elephants or dogs or whatever. That depends on the faith of the individual. There are many believers that don't care at all about any of the things we have been talking about. Our debates have no effect whatsoever on their faith and belief in the saving power of Christ to raise them from the d ...[text shortened]... dragons were types of what evolutionists call dinosaurs, which they only know about from bones.
Apparently, for you it does. Othwerwise you would understand that believing in jesus has nothing to do with believing in something proven beyond doubt to be false. global flood-false, 7 day creation -false, people living 900 years - false, adam and eve giving birth to the whole humanity - false, and so on. not one of these idiotic claims make jesus's message any less real or important. not one of these proven to be false lead to the conclusion that god is false.
the idea of god doesn't depend on the fiesta of ignorance that is Genesis. the only way they diminish somewhat the veridicity of god is how much people like you still cling to them. instead of receiving god with an open mind, people(kids in particular) will reject him entirely just to not be associated with nut jobs like you.

Originally posted by RJHindsPerhaps the legend of the dragon developed from ancient people unearthing fossils of pterosaurs rather than sinbad the sailor actually having one in his back garden.
The point is dragons are dionsaurs. So since both dragons and dinosaurs are the same thing, then clearly they lived with man and there is a lot of evidence to prove it.

Originally posted by kevcvs57Some of those fossils just stuck out of hills and people saw them and imagined dragons since the bones were obviously from a formerly living creature.

It doesn't take much to fan the flame of fear filled fantasy.

Originally posted by FMFIt was probably the rhinoceros and people who had not actually seen one envisioned what it might look like in drawings just like we envision what ancient man and dinosaurs might have looked like in our evolution drawings in text books.
Do you believe that a unicorn is a kind of horse?

Originally posted by RJHindsBut your believing in God does not depend in any way on your speculation about dragons and unicorns, and it has no effect whatsoever on your faith and belief in what you perceive to be the saving power of Christ to raise you from the dead, is that right?
