Flat Earth Theory.

[AV1611VET]

Bible does not teach any science -

Correct.

As I'm fond of saying, expecting the Bible to teach science is like expecting Bill Gate's diary to teach computer technology.

Great.

Your opinion on what is metaphor and what isn't is based on your claimed belief in a flat earth, not in what God is saying.

No it's not, like I said, I know when a metaphor is being used

Apparently not. Job 38:7 is God speaking, therefore it isn't the author of Job interpreting in metaphor. God specifically says that the morning stars sang together. One way or another that cannot be taken literally at the face value of the words. Either 'morning stars' are non-literal or 'singing' is non-literal.

Everyone knows the morning stars are the angels & what God is talking about.

Great, so we can agree that in that verse, God was not being literal in His choice of words. How then do you decide when God is being literal and when He is using descriptive terminology while describing His creation?

Some people aren't interesting in learning.

They'd be embarrassed to have to admit we taught them anything.

They ask good questions alright.

But then they ridicule your answers.



I agree.

Maybe something to do with a variation in ohm and the static nature of local gravity.

 

[weekEd]

There's a lot more to it than that.

Letterheads would have to be changed, science books would have to be updated, yadda yadda and more.

Yeah the cost of ink would go up.
Maybe the is no way to use words interchangeably that is cost effective.

Not to mention the Bible.

Only in your mind. I see it all with greater nuance. Genesis is a theological document, not a historical document. If you only see it as superstition derived from humans you cant appreciate the divinely inspired aspects I already mentioned.

There is only one supreme God who is creator
Creation brought order to chaos.
God is good and creates good things.

That is Revelation not superstition.

What other theology can you identify? Don't be distracted by grasping at literal meanings.

I don’t see any mention of chaos in the creation account and as far as God being Creator and creating good things that’s two things out of the 31 verses in just Genesis 1. If that’s all you get from reading the 31 verses in Genesis 1 then there’s a lot of useless information in it. Notice how John 1 reveals Jesus as Co-Creator and managed to accomplish that quite well without any mention of any time period for when He did it or how long it took Him. One could rightly say that it was not the author’s intention to discuss when it happened or how long it took because there’s zero information on those topics. Obviously with Genesis 1 that’s not the case. According to a lot of people in this thread the days of creation are nothing more than a false man made myth that did not originate from God but originated from man’s own misconceptions about the world. Isn’t that exactly what you were saying in the previous post?

Chaos is an abstract philosophical term, not known to ancient Hebrews. You may recognize its origin is Greek.

In the age of mythology, this concept was represented either by waters/seas, abyss or zoomorphologically with Leviathan, dragons. You may recognize that the creation account of Genesis starts with preexistent watery abyss.

Thats neither biblically nor scientifically relevant.

Well at least it's keeping on topic, to what this thread is all about.

Without being it biblically or scientifically relevant, its totally off topic. Because the flat earth can be discussed either biblically or scientifically. We are not creating fantasy novels here, are we?

Exactly - So why isn't it ?

It is. Literal reading of the figurative language in the Bible has been disproven and the flat earth "science", too.

You just do not want to accept that so you are still coming with youtube videos, misquotes of various people and similar irrelevant things.

You are more a type that likes fantasy, thats why you are collecting such youtube videos. But thats not relevant for the objective reality. If you were writing an amusing fantasy book, that would be the proper place for your ideas and fabricated evidence.

There is NO proof that the earth is flat. I really think you ought to speak to some experienced amateur astronomers who have traveled in both the northern and southern hemispheres. They will tell you in no uncertain terms that the night sky is is not the same in both. And those who use time lapse photography for the night sky will happily prove it to you. The part of sky around which all stars are seen to rotate has no Polaris in the southern hemisphere, the constellations are different and the stars are seen to rotate in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere than in the northern, none of which makes any sense on a flat earth.

This is why your claims not only sound ridiculous to people with experience in amateur astronomy amongst many others, it also brings the Bible into disrepute because your false interpretations fly in the face of easily seen evidence.

We've been through all this & why Polaris doesn't show up in the south.

So where is the center of earth ?
Where is God's throne ?
Where is the garden of Eden ?
Why has Santa (Satan) dominated the North Pole ?
Why is the star Polaris directly above the North Pole & hardly ever moves ?
What is the Black Rock?
where is the Rupes Nigra ?

Because the Earth is a globe. Exactly!

Oh come on! So Polaris just disappears when the south celestial pole is viewed? And no, Polaris is NOT directly above the North Pole. Polaris is seen to rotate around a center point just the same as all the other stars. The problem is that center point is completely different in the southern hemisphere with not a trace of the same stars (not just Polaris) anywhere near it. The night sky is completely different. Flat earth liars know this full well but they fool gullible people with their nonsense and bring God's Word into disrepute by doing so.

I personally know an avid amateur astronomer who has traveled in both northern and southern hemispheres. He is also a Bible believing Christian who affirms the six literal days of creation. But he also knows the earth is a rotating sphere and God's creation attests to that. Your personal interpretation of Scripture is total nonsense when the real evidence is viewed.
