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.

So rather than admit that the sun goes back & forth & stopped in the sky, your saying it's a miracle now ?

It is a miracle. God did not create the sun to go back and forth. God created the earth to rotate on its axis every 24 hours to define the day and the night (Gen. 1) and to orbit the sun every 365 days to define a year. This is fully proven and absolute truth with no chance to argue against it.

But it’s a contradiction in your claims. You have clearly said in the past that the sun doesn’t go down, it just gets further away. That’s NOT what the Bible says. So you’re changing what the Bible says to suit yourself.
People who know the earth is a globe have no problem with the Bible using phenomenological language. But flat earthers just make fools of themselves trying to claim it, because there is no rule as to what is to be taken literally and what isn’t.
So why do you take one part of Joshua 10:12-14 literal and another not?
Why do you hold us to account for not taking the Bible literally when you don’t hold yourself to account for doing the same thing?

Obviously.
The 4 corners of the earth are allegorical because that suits you. The rest of it is literal, and we're in the wrong if we don't believe it.
You also know little about context.

So the account God recorded in Joshua 10 had to wait till pagan science figured out some 1000's of years after the recording of this event in The Tanakh.
That the earth rotates and moves around the sun .
So an unchanging God records an inaccurate account of an event in Israels history and is now only fully understood. Because pagan science now interprets Biblical accounts.

It’s observational language which in no way calls God a liar. Do you know what observational language is? You are the one calling God a liar by interpreting His inspired words outside of His creation.
And, BTW, God created science by giving His created beings the ability to reason. So now you are also calling Gods creation pagan. Good job.

for knowing the earth is flat, well, I suppose it makes a change from being called retarded or stupid.
