if the bible is wrong, how could the ancients have known about an extremely rare stress symptom (that was recorded by luke if i remember correctly) jesus went through, known as hematohydrosis. why are dinosaurs mentioned in the bible? ......................

Last I checked, dinosaurs weren't mentioned, only mythological creatures. And I don't recall hematohydrosis being in the Bible either. Descriptions of the symptoms, perhaps, but I doubt they had any clue as what was going on.
"hematohydrosis" is a made-up word. When I Googled it, all I found was a bunch of Christian woo-woo shit, and ZERO legit medical references.
And where, pray tell, are dinosaurs mentioned in the Babble?
"And where, pray tell, are dinosaurs mentioned in the Babble?"
...hematohydrosis...
The Mayo Clinic's online resource has no record of a disease of that name. To be honest, it's probably made up. "Hematohydrosis", even as a made-up condition, is a bad choice. It seems to indicate that the blood has somehow either lost water content, or that the blood has too great a water content.
A better choice might have been "hematoeccrinesis" or perhaps "hematoeccrinitis". Since you are such an intellectual disappointment I'll give you my opinion of your character:

Hematohydrosis, just because it happened, doesn't mean they knew about it. And as others have pointed out, it's not really a true condition. If you'll actually read the passage of Luke in context, Luke is attributing the bloody sweat (as I take it this is what you are referingto) as a miracle or sign of god, not a natural process. And remember, he was, at least according to christian tradition, a doctor. And there's no proof the bible talks about dinosaurs. As far as the Rachab, and Leviathan, Behemoth, and the creatures in Job 40 and 41 are concerned, many conservative christian scholars do not believe these are dinosaurs, some even believe that they are only allegorical. And the Hebrew for these creatures would agree.
The Bible IS wrong.
The ancients DIDN'T know about hematohydrosis.
You DON'T remember correctly.
Dinosaurs are NOT mentioned in the Bible.
You're an idiot.
@WMDKitty: I reckon what he meant was Hematidrosis - you should know by now that spelling of words longer than two syllables is way too hard for our fundies :)
Btw, the username translates as "SuckIt9"... what's up with that? :hmm:
"Yes, of course, the often forgotten book of Tim, in which he is eaten by a T-Rex."
No, no Tim made it out thanks to Dr. Grant. The lawyer on the other hand.......
Hematohydrosis, literally, means watery blood which is a condition that I've never heard of.
I think you refer to hematidrosis as xplicit_UK says. I remember this symptom from a House episode two seasons ago.

Hmmm. Doesn't the account of Jesus' crucifixion say that Jesus bled water when Longinus ran him through with a spear while he was up on the cross? While I know the Bible better than 90% of the fundies out there (which isn't saying much *smirk* ), my Biblical knowledge is far from comprehensive, so feel free to take this as you will.
Knowing diseases that were common (like the ones due to being crucified since so many where) is not uncommon.
Dinosaurs aren't mentioned in the bible, the 'behemoth' isn't a fekking dinosaur.

If Jesus had drowned, there'd certainly be water in his lungs. Also, if his bladder had been pierced by the spear, that could account for the water. Fun to speculate but not really productive or conclusive.
I, as a rule, do not take any biblical stuff literally. That way lies madness - not to mention silliness.
Even if this is a real but rare medical condition ,given that the Romans crucified thousands upon thousands of people ,then it would be possible that it was seen sufficiently often to be known by the writers of the NT as one possible effect of the crucifxion.
According to Wikipedia hematidrosis or hematohidrosis is a very rare condition where blood vessels in sweat glands rupture because of a sudden extreme shock (where the vessels contract) quickly followed by extreme sweating (where the vessels dilate). This causes the person to sweat blood.
This is a reference to Jesus sweating blood, not bleeding water.
First, medical symptoms are recorded in many fiction and non-fiction works around the world. For example, in a novel by Benito Perez Galdos, testicular cancer is clearly recorded. That is recorded in a text, doesn´t mean that the text is right. Second, where does the Bible mention dinosaurs?, maybe nowhere?, maybe you have to stretch the interpretation of a verse to find them?
The christan scriptures does not say that he sweated or cryed blood it said tha his sweat andthe tewrs were AS great drops of blood, meaning that he was sweating and sheading tears like he was bleading. Given that he yad probably seen crucifixion and knew what was in store for him this is understandable! Everyone who faced this did the same thing.
The ancients knew a lot of things. Like Pye being not 3 but 3.14, insects having 6 legs and bats not being birds.
Christians are/were deluded.
There is a thing where people tied to the cross (the standard cruxifiction) would die, they say, from being unable to expell liquid from their lungs which will occur with your arms tied up, apparently, around three days or less.
Now the dinosaur thing, if he's a fundie he's been given two Biblical words. Behemoth and Leviathon they claim are dinosaurs, ask Hovind and Comfort, they're dead certain thems dinosaurs, but then they're indiscriminate straw graspers. Biblical scholars consider Behemoth to be Water Buffalos or some other massive mammal and Leviathon probably a whale siteing.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
