  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What I meant in my post was that the picture on the right showed the sun shining on to water, whereas the picture on the left showed a light shining on to a ball with no water on it. I believe that makes the difference in the way the light is reflected on the two.

Oh sorry - I thought you were on about the proverbs verse.

Yes, that's what I meant by "the sea generally." No mention of the sea around Antarctica specifically.

Well it's not going to mention Antarctica specifically is it ?

That was in my post where I answered yours which included a Proverbs reference. In a separate post, I replied to your post which included a picture of a light shining on a ball, and another of the sun shining on the sea.

So why did you quote the verse to support your idea that Antarctica is surrounded by a huge ice-wall? If, as we seem to agree, the verse is about all seas, why (in your view) is there an ice wall dividing the sea from Antarctica, but not a wall dividing the sea from Wales, or from South Devon, where I am?

I think Apple Sky believes the earth to be a flat disc. Isn't the circumference of a disc pi times twice the radius? I seem to remember the formula: C = 2 pi r (can't find the pi symbol!)
Psst. *whispers* you are giving her to much information. ;)

Because the Antarctica ice walls are the only thing that stops the seas gushing forth, they are also what are known in Scripture, as the doors.

Job 38:8
Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

There is no mathematical formula for circumference in scripture; however, a passage in 1 Kings 7:23 describes a circular basin with a diameter of 10 cubits and a circumference of 30 cubits.

And is a sea made of cast metal sitting on top of 12 oxen and standing near the temple. Ok then.

No but it gives us an idea how they measured.
Sure but it should also give you an idea that some things in scripture are allegorical and not literal. In real life 12 oxen could not carry over 85,000 pounds worth of water plus the weight of the materials.
