Excuse me, can you even read Greek?
I mean, it is there. Plain to see.
"ς"... that is a sigma. An "s". It is even there in the link you used. "γῦρος"
But when you look at the quote - the quote that you posted - it is plain to see... "ὁ κατέχων τὸν γῦρον τῆς"
That's a "ν" at the end of the word. A "ny".
How can you not see it?
I have to admit that I am not completely certain on that being the accusative form... my command of ancient greek is very limited and quite rusty.
But I can still read the letters... and the letters say "gyron".
Well now we are getting somewhere. Both γῦρος and γῦρον are variants of the same word, just as the Latin gyrum and gyrus are the same word. The only link I found so far in support of γῦρον = gyron is google translate which is not always trusted. I do not have a Greek lexicon to dive deeper. I have a store house of Hebrew lexicons and Greek lexicons containing words from the NT. But no lexicons for Septuagint. So thus I am forced to spend time digging through countless links looking for this gyron variant and all sources lead me to gyros.
But I am talking to an good old friend from Greece who's lived there for about 11 years now and says he understands about 5% of Greek. This is because Greek isn't some easy language you can just learn from google translate or wikipedia. He does know that the words I sent him have punctuations that have not been used in 100 years, and how in Greece, ancient Greek is an upper College level course. I also have other people I know who have a much better grasp on Greek than any of us do and I will consult them. I know a great deal about how atheists lie and distort everything in the Bible. Each time I investigate an issue the scam is revealed. This has been the case of 100% of all my investigations. But now I investigate Greek and bust the scam on that one. In the meantime, I can override all modern analysis by going to ancient readers of the Septuagint to see how they understood Scripture.
Oh, as I am writing this I realize I have another friend who's native to Greece who is also a Greek scholar. So I'll contact him.
Ancient Christians who read Septuagint.
Flavius Josephus (37-100 A.D.)
Josephus was a Jewish historian who wrote the Antiquity of the Jews in 70 A.D. We have seen how the earliest of Christian church fathers understood Scripture and now we will see how a Jewish historian understands Genesis.
“After this, on the second day,
he placed the heaven over the whole world, and separated it from the other parts;
and he determined it should stand by itself. He also placed a crystalline
[firmament] round it, and put it together in a manner agreeable to the earth, and fitted it for giving moisture and rain, and for affording the advantage of dews” (Antiquity 1:30).
Red highlight: "he placed the heaven over the whole world"
Josephus says God placed the heaven over the whole world. But what does Josephus mean by "over"? He is referring to the first part of Job 26:7,
"He stretches out the North over empty space,"
Josephus continues:
Red Highlight: "and he determined it should stand by itself"
Josephus now completing his reference to Job 26:7,
"and suspends the earth over nothing at all."
Blue highlight: "[firmament] round it"
Josephus is describing how God, on the second day, placed a crystalline around the earth. This earth, not being held up by turtles or elephants or a whale, is determined by God to stand by itself (Job 26:7).
You cannot place a firmament around the whole earth if the earth is flat or even a half-sphere. So here in the 1st century, both Josephus and Clement of Rome, refute 21st century liberal scholars.. Did Josephus know how to read Hebrew? Sure he did! He not only knew how to read Hebrew but was also a highly educated historian. So all these modern arguments which fool many have no weight in light of what we read from 1st century Josephus and Clement of Rome!
Clement of Rome (A.D, 35 - 99).
“Thus, by His transcendent might He established the heavens, and by His incomprehensible understanding He ordered them: the earth He separated from the water now encircling it, and firmly grounded it on the unshakable foundation of His own will” (Ancient Christian Writers, Vol.1., Epistle To The Corinthians, 33:3).
Blue highlight: "encircling it"
Clement here is referring to two Biblical passage. The first passage is Genesis 1:6-13 which covers Days 2 & 3 of creation -- "the water now encircling it" is understood as the waters encircling a sphere. Clement was also well known for his belief in antipodes and you cannot have antipodes on a flat earth or the half-sphere of a snow-cone.
Red Highlight: "and firmly grounded it on the unshakable foundation of His own will”
Secondly, Clement refers to Job 26:7 when he says "and firmly grounded it on the unshakable foundation of His own will."
Job 26:7 can only correspond to a globe earth.
In the next quotation, Clement speaks about the rotation of the earth:
"The heavens revolve by His arrangement and are subject to Him in peace. Day and night complete the revolution ordained by Him, and neither interferes in the least with the other" (20:1-2).
Clement of Alexandria (150-215 A.D.)
Clement was a 2nd century church father. The following is taken from his writing called The Instructor, which I’m citing from the very last page of Book III entitled To The Paedagous:
“And when the seasons,
in their circling course,
Winter and summer, spring and autumn, each
Should come, according to well-ordered plan;
Out of a confused heap who didst create
This ordered sphere, and from the shapeless mass
Of matter didst the universe adorn;--
Grant to me life, and be that life well spent,
Thy grace enjoying; let me act and speak
In all things as Thy Holy Scriptures teach”
(Ante-Nicene Christian Library, Vol.1).
And the Holy Scriptures taught Clement about the sphere of the earth.
Origen (185-254 A.D.)
Origen of Alexandria was born in the 2nd century but his ministry would make him a 3rd century man. He is an Ante-Nicene church father who wrote On First Principles, which is the very first book on Theology ever written by a Christian. The following quotation is taken from the John C. Cavadini edition.
“Certainly what some say of this world, that it is corruptible because it was made, and yet does not go to corruption because the will of God, who made it and preserves it from being mastered by corruption, is stronger and more powerful than corruption, may more rightly be believed of that world which we have above
called a “fixed” sphere, because by the will of God it is in no way “subject to corruption” (cf.Rom 8:20, 21), for the reason that it has not admitted the causes of corruption" (On First Principles, Book II, Chapter III, p.113).
Origen continues:
". . . . and the entire condition of the world we know, in which
the spheres of the planets are said to be, is left behind and superseded, there exists above that sphere which is called "fixed" an abiding place for the pious and blessed, in as it were a "good land" and a "land of the living," which the "meek" and gentle will receive for an inheritance. To this land or earth belongs that heaven which, with its more magnificent circuit, surrounds and confines it, and this is the true heaven and the first to be so called" (On First Principles, Book II, Chapter III, p.114).
The spheres of the planets is a clear reference that Origen's reading of Scripture revealed that our earth is a sphere.
These are not Latin readings. They come from both Hebrew and LXX.
