FLAT or ROUND Earth?

[trophy33]

So you have God creating the heavens and the earth, but not the water on the earth?

It starts with waters. Waters were not created, according to Genesis 1. There is no "And God said: Let there be waters" or anything like that. Waters were simply the starting point.

What absolute codswallop.

What's codswallop is a moving earth.

Genesis does not state it was not true. Actually, Genesis even states that God had to go down to even see the city and the tower and that God scattered them, because the men would be able to do everything.
Other place states that God regretted creating men. Other place states that Jacob wrestled with God and God could not overpower him.

There are many things in Genesis which, if taken literally, would be absurd.


Genesis 1. Waters were uncreated. In Babylonian way of thinking, waters represent primordial chaos from which gods created the ordered universe. Hebrew authors of Genesis 1 also used this idea.

However, this thinking is not exclusive to Mesopotamia: Cosmic ocean - Wikipedia

Crikey I've heard it all now.

Who created the water then ?

Who created the water then ?

According to the ancient mythology, the primordial waters were eternal, uncreated. God/gods were creating everything else by taming the waters, organizing them, creating things out of them.

Look, another proof that the Earth is a flat circle

It is a reconstruction of Hecataeus' map showing Asia, Africa and Europe with the inner seas and the outer ocean.

Not sure what you mean by "putting Genesis 1 in question". It just puts Genesis 1 into its cultural context.

Are we to believe God's words or not ?

Genesis 1 are not God's words. God is being talked about in the third person, there. It is a mythological creation drama written by Babylonian Jews.

It is neither prophecy, nor Jesus's words nor anything similar.

So what your saying is that Genesis 1 is just a mythological drama made up by Babylonian Jews ?

You are asking as if we are talking about it for the first time. We have already been through this like dozen times.

Show me the earth actually rotating.

1. No CGI
2. No fish eyed lenses

Show me if you can.

It's been done REPEATEDLY on this thread and this forum and all the times, you've just outright rejected it.

You got to give her credit. She keeps manipulating people in repeatedly.

And I wonder why ? I've yet to see a perfect image/video of the earth rotating that's not either CGI or through a fish-eyed lens or glass.

But you just declare that it's CGI or fish-eye and reject it outright. You don't take any time to learn or even investigate. You're intellectually blind, and proud of it. All for an interpretation of the Bible that has no real bearing on salvation from Christ at all.
And that's just sad.
