B flat B♭

[Apple Sky]

So stop saying the Bible teaches that the earth is flat.

Well stop saying that the earth moves when it doesn't.

 

[Phil G]

Well stop saying that the earth moves when it doesn't.

It does.

"Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth."
Psalm18:7 KJV

 

[Apple Sky]

So the sun didn't actually stop.

Not according to you, you said the sun just appeared to stop to Joshua.

 

[prodromos]

Correct, just like what you said about Joshua, that the sun only appeared to stop for him.

So make up your mind what you are arguing. You've just undermined your whole argument.

 

[Apple Sky]

It does.

"Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth."
Psalm18:7 KJV

Yes an earthquake a natural occurrence, but not spinning in space.

 

[Phil G]

Not according to you, you said the sun just appeared to stop to Joshua.

Now you're trying to put that on me. You're the one telling us Joshua 10:12-14 needs to be taken literally. You're the one who claimed the sun literally stopped but that the sun doesn't literally go down.

As I said people who know the earth is a globe are quite comfortable with phenomenological language in the Bible. But flat earthers try to claim we don't read the Bible properly because we don't take the passages you cite literally.

But you do the same thing regarding the sun going down.

 

[Phil G]

Yes an earthquake a natural occurrence

That's the earth moving. You said it doesn't move, yet the Bible clearly says it does.

You're arguing with Scripture.

 

[Apple Sky]

So make up your mind what you are arguing. You've just undermined your whole argument.

No I haven't, I've just proved a point.

 

[Phil G]

No I haven't, I've just proved a point.

You've proved you're not being consistent in your approach to Scripture and that you won't own up to it.

 

[Apple Sky]

That's the earth moving. You said it doesn't move, yet the Bible clearly says it does.

You're arguing with Scripture.

No I'm not, there's a difference between earthquakes & the actual earth moving through space.
I'm only quoting what Scripture says.

 

[Phil G]

Scripture says the earth shook. That is movement. The earth is not immovable in the way you claim. Stop trying to argue with God’s Word.

 

[Strong in Him]

Well stop saying that the earth moves when it doesn't.

Well I'll tell you something, the earth doesn't go round in circles as often as this argument does.

What's the matter, aren't we doing enough to bump up your score?

Please educate me here. The reaction score seems very important to a certain person. Why? What good is it? I can see that it might be an indicator for the people running the forum, but I can’t see how it benefits the user.

Yes.
That was a reference to another thread where Apple Sky thanked another person for "really bumping her score up."

I have no idea.
@Apple Sky has certain health issues and, I gather, doesn't get out much. (Not even to church.) It might make her feel more important/that she has achieved something - I don't know.

Certainly there has to be some reason she posts threads/asks questions on the same topic again and again - even though she gets the same answers, and arguments, each time.
If it's not due to bad memory, I can see no other reason.

I really didn’t mean to pick on Applesky, but I did see that post on another thread. It made me wonder what it was about. I suppose that too many negative reactions might help somebody to change their style. I just thought that a person might get a free book or something. Otherwise, I see no motivation.

Sorry, I wasn't implying that you were picking on her, and I'm not trying to either.

If her motive is as suggested I can kind of understand it.
I joined this forum because I was ill with M.E and couldn't get to church or even out much. At a time when much had been taken from me, having people agree with, and 'like' my posts did feel like something of an achievement. Like I still had a voice and interesting/helpful things to say - pathetic, I know, but it was a difficult time.
I don't know, but it could be the same for Apple Sky.

 

[Apple Sky]

Stop trying to argue with God’s Word.

I'm not but you are.

 

[Strong in Him]

I'm only quoting what Scripture says.

You're quoting - and taking literally - the exact words of one translation of Scripture.
You're making no effort to understand what the writers meant, how they thought at the time or even the original words that were used.

Thanks, I hope you are better. It all seems reasonable. My health is not terrible, but the heart gives me trouble along with normal aging. Getting likes does make one feel better. I live in a wonderful place on a side of a mountain overlooking a river valley, but the weather often keeps me indoors and wanting to have a little interaction. Today, for example, it is snowing very heavily.

Yes the person in question had posted 18 or more laughing emoji's, I sarcastically wanted to thank him for bumping up my reaction score.
