Planets are also called "Wandering stars." The very word "planet" comes from the Greek for "wandering star." Couldn't the wandering stars be included with the other stars? The solar system is the sun and the wandering stars and the earth. galaxies are groupings of stars.There's three things here that God didn't create, the solar system, the planets & the Galaxies these have been falsified.
That sounds arrogant. I am sure you didn't mean to be arrogant.My view of God's creation is correct.
But you cannot see the really distant stars with just your eyes.I don't have too as I can see perfectly well with my own two eyes.
I don't know who caused the words to be on von Braun's gravestone, or whether they were trying to tell us something. I do know that God is telling us (because Psalm 19 is in His word) that the heavens do indeed declare God's glory and the firmament shows His handiwork. That is true whatever shape one believes the earth to be, whether or not the moon landings happened, and whether or not the firmament is a solid dome.The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Psalms 19:1
I do know this as it is on Wernher Von Brauns tombstone, do you think he was trying to tell us something ?
Yes, of course He can. He created them, and He knows all things.Which God can name all.
Why shouldn't it be?Yes.
This is great if it's true.
John 1:3 says that God created everything - everything that exists was created by God.There's three things here that God didn't create, the solar system, the planets & the Galaxies these have been falsified.
Not even close.My view of God's creation is correct.
There are many, many things that you can't see with your own eyes.I don't have too as I can see perfectly well with my own two eyes.
Yes, I told you that.The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Psalms 19:1
And which God said Abraham would not be able to count.Which God can name all.
Good.Yes.
It is true.This is great if it's true.
And now I have, see post above, please do not hesitate to ask me any more questions in your quest for the truth.
John 1:3 says that God created everything - everything that exists was created by God.
But as you yourself have just written, the Hebrew word translated "firmament" can mean "expanse" OR "solid surface." So it doesn't have to mean that the firmament is a solid dome. Besides, as I have mentioned to you before, why should rockets need to go through the firmament to reach the moon (for example)? The moon is not "the far side of the firmament", but "in the firmament", so why the need to go through it to reach the moon? Further, as I have mentioned before, the verse you quote tells us about the colour of the firmament, not whether it is solid or not: "the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal "I agree so this must include the firmament or better known as the raqia.
The term "raqia" (or "raqiya") is the original Hebrew word for "firmament," which refers to the "expanse" or "solid surface" of the sky in biblical cosmology, as described in Genesis. This concept represented a solid dome separating the waters above and below.
If this is true then how the heck do these rockets get through.
King James Bible
And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. Ezekiel 1:22

Good.I agree
is untrue. There is nothing that wasn't created by God.There's three things here that God didn't create, the solar system, the planets & the Galaxies
Hardly anyone knows the Hebrew word "raqia" - the firmament, or expanse, is better known as the sky, Genesis 1:8.so this must include the firmament or better known as the raqia.
Genesis does not say that the firmament is solid.The term "raqia" (or "raqiya") is the original Hebrew word for "firmament," which refers to the "expanse" or "solid surface" of the sky in biblical cosmology, as described in Genesis.
a) it's not true.If this is true then how the heck do these rockets get through.
So?King James Bible
And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. Ezekiel 1:22
I have looked up the word. Strong's Concordance says:Look up the word ' Raqia ';
The Hebrew word raqia (רקיע), often translated as "firmament," refers to a solid, dome-like structure created by God on the second day of creation, separating the waters above from the waters below. It is described as a space that is stretched out and hammered into firmness.
Genesis doesn't say that.Look up the word ' Raqia ';
The Hebrew word raqia (רקיע), often translated as "firmament," refers to a solid, dome-like structure created by God on the second day of creation,
You can't "stretch out" a space.It is described as a space that is stretched out and hammered into firmness.
is untrue. There is nothing that wasn't created by God.
You can't "stretch out" a space.
Air cannot be "hammered into firmness"
Why do you keep repeating the same thing, saying that The Hebrew word raqia (רקיע) must refer to a solid dome? Even you said in an earlier post that it can men "expanse."This would be true if they existed, the stars exist but not galaxies and planets as NASA describes, all's they show is composites of of the Uni - verse.
God did just that.
King James Bible
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
The Hebrew word raqia (רקיע), often translated as "firmament," refers to a solid, dome-like structure created by God on the second day of creation, separating the waters above from the waters below. It is described as a space that is stretched out and hammered into firmness.
One further point has just occurred to me: The disciples watched Jesus ascending. He didn't just ascend to what we call the sky, where birds and aeroplanes fly, or the moon. He ascended to heaven, the dwelling-place of God. We don't read that He had to perform a miracle to pass through a solid dome.
Of course He could. But the account says nothing about Him mysteriously passing through a solid dome. It just says that a cloud received Him out of the sight of the disciples.God (the divine Word) took on human flesh in Jesus, becoming both fully God and fully human in one person. He could perform what ever he wanted.
Why do you keep repeating the same thing, saying that The Hebrew word raqia (רקיע) must refer to a solid dome?
Of course He could.
But that goes against what your wrote earlier: "the original Hebrew word for "firmament," which refers to the "expanse" or "solid surface" Now you say it can't mean one or the other, as you said before, and as the reference books and concordances also say. Now you say it must mean a solid dome. It doesn't have to - it can also mean "expanse.".Because it does.

They do exist. Planets are wandering stars, that is what the word means. You have been told this before.This would be true if they existed, the stars exist but not galaxies and planets as NASA describes,
This is the bit which is not in Genesis.The Hebrew word raqia (רקיע), often translated as "firmament," refers to a solid, dome-like structure created by God on the second day of creation, separating the waters above from the waters below. It is described as a space that is stretched out and hammered into firmness.
Yes, it is.I'll go with the truth which is God's word.
