  • 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.

Any other geocentrists here?

for an explanation of old and modern geocentrism, I would read this..

http://www.geocentricity.com/ba1/fresp/index.html
Okay first of all WHOA! You're 16 and you understand that!!!!!

Second of all, this is the only part I understood so far:

""[FONT=&quot]How, then, does geocentrism differ from geocentricity? In geocentricity, the earth is static, but not necessarily at the center if the universe. In geocentricity the earth is actually offset from the geometric center of the universe. The earth is immobile as seen from outside the universe, that is, as seen from the third heaven, the location of the throne of God.""

From this right here I can tell that this is way over my head.

Not only that, but I just don't know how any of it can be proved one way or another.

And besides that, what difference does it make? Is there some scripture on the line over this?

The Earth Does Not Move
  • 1 Chronicles 16:30: "Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved."
  • Psalm 93:1 "The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is established, that it cannot be moved."
  • Psalm 96:10: "Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously...."
The Sun Moves
  • Joshua 10:13 So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.
  • Isaiah 38:8 I will make the shadow cast by the sun go back the ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.' " So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had gone down.
  • Habakkuk 3:11 Sun and moon stood still in the heavens at the glint of your flying arrows, at the lightning of your flashing spear.
Earth is Independent
  • Job 26:7 He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.
Also, there are many many other verses which speak about the sun going around the earth...
