The Final Experiment (Flat Earth Bites The Dust)

[Apple Sky]

Once again you prove you are not prepared to do the research. God does NOT tell you that He created two great lights. That's an English translation of the Hebrew word "maor" which also means "luminary"

Strong's Hebrew: 3974. מָאוֹר (maor) -- Light, luminary

What ever it say's in Genesis 1 is good enough for me.

 

[Phil G]

What ever it say's in Genesis 1 is good enough for me.

That's what it says in Genesis "maor" - light, luminary. You are inventing your own interpretation, not reading what scripture actually says. and what's more you are being stubborn about it despite the evidence that you are wrong.

 

[Apple Sky]

That's a forecast, not a report of actual conditions now.

So It's a forecast now ? Isn't that against God's law ?

 

[Apple Sky]

That's what it says in Genesis "maor" - light, luminary.

No it doesn't it say's two great lights.

 

[Phil G]

So It's a forecast now ? Isn't that against God's law ?

No. A forecast is merely predicting the weather according to what is known. If you bring an umbrella with you when you leave the house because it says in the weather forecast that it will rain, are you then against God's law? You're not making any sense.

In fact the cartoon strips in the newspapers make more sense than what you're saying now!!

 

[Phil G]

No it doesn't it say's two great lights.

No, read the meaning of the original word again and stop being so stubborn:

Strong's Hebrew: 3974. מָאוֹר (maor) -- Light, luminary

I thought God is against predicting.

 

[Phil G]

I thought God is against predicting.

Why does He predict in Scripture then with prophecy?

I read it as I see it, in English.

 

[Phil G]

I read it as I see it, in English.

That's English - "luminary". It's an English word. And Genesis was not written in English. It was written in Hebrew.

 

[Apple Sky]

Why does He predict in Scripture then with prophecy?

But he is against fortune telling & the so likes such as Saul and the witch of Endor.

 

[Phil G]

But he is against fortune telling & the so likes such as Saul and the witch of Endor.

Weather forecasting is not fortune telling. There's nothing spiritual about it.

How am I supposed to know what the what the Hebrew words mean ? I don't go to the Bible find words that mean something else.

Hebrew to English dictionaries, which is what Strong's is. And if you believe that Genesis 1 is literally true and God's own words, then you are obliged to read and study what it actually says, not what you want it to say.

And here's an English translation using the word luminaries:

"And God saith, `Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years," Genesis 1:14 YLT

So you have no excuse....

 

[Apple Sky]

Weather forecasting is not fortune telling. There's nothing spiritual about it.

Oh so forecasting is OK ? Okay i'll remember this.........

 

[Apple Sky]

"And God saith, `Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years," Genesis 1:14 YLT

Oh so God didn't create two great light ?

 

[Phil G]

Oh so forecasting is OK ? Okay i'll remember this.........

Really? I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic. If you have evidence that a weather forecast is the result of sorcery or witches then show me. That's the type of future telling that God forbids. But forecasting the weather based on charts and maps of what the weather is doing around the world is not sorcery.

 

[Phil G]

Oh so God didn't create two great light ?

Read the verse, research the original meaning of the words used. That's Bible study. All you're doing is reading without study. That's not going to give you a proper understanding God's word.

Once again here is a proper study of the word used in Genesis 1

I'm not going to research every word.

Anyway, the moon cannot produce its own light as we all know its made of cheese! Ask Wallice and Gromit....
