Yeah because you seem so enamoured with the idea of defending the poor treatment of others.

Lol. In the end only God sees the heart.

On your part, take care not to betray the quote beneath your posts.

From a Christian website: Did Jude Quote from the Book of Enoch?

No one can prove, therefore, that Jude’s text was taken from the “Book of Enoch.”

Further, it is likely that the quotation in the Book of Enoch reflects the echo of an ancient tradition that has its roots in the events of the Patriarchal period and that the inspiration of Jude, and the tradition of the Book of Enoch, merely merge at this juncture.

In the end, by human standards, no one can prove anything. Isn't that one core attribute of faith?

But I repeat myself.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

"Man shows up from nowhere and says bible is wrong."

This rare event happens once in a lifetime...
The verse says that the suns HURRIES back to WHERE IT ROSE FROM.

This could be the EAST, ... but it also could be the HORIZON.

The verse doesn't specify. That's the way it is with METAPHORICAL language.

In any case, the sun's light makes it way from the WEST (where it sets) ... to EAST (where it rises) during the night (as the earth turns).

Here:

Isaiah 45:6, a description indicative of space (expanse), not time (24 hours).

so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me. I am the LORD, and there is no other. (NIV)

so all the world from east to west will know there is no other God. I am the LORD, and there is no other. (NLT)

Here's an applicable scripture:

But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.
Titus 3:9‭-‬11

None of his has any bearing on our discussion.

It's all non-physical language ...

Science says this, science says that.

Should we care? No.

What does scripture say?

A sizable number of scriptures show, if anything, earth is not a spinning ball.

We test all things (including science), through God's word.

We do not test God's word, through things (especially science).

The truth is out.

Yet I’m guessing you use many products of science every day. The Bible didn’t explain the science behind internet or tell us how to predict the weather or scan the body for cancer.

Another Scripture ignorantly blown out of context:

Titus 3:9,

But don’t have anything to do with stupid arguments about ancestors. And stay away from disagreements and quarrels about the Law of Moses. Such arguments are useless and senseless. (CEV)

Stay away from those who have foolish arguments, who talk about useless family histories, or who make trouble and fight about what the Law of Moses teaches. These things are useless and will not help anyone. (ERV)

Here's another:

2 Corinthians 10:5,

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (NIV)

Hope that helped.

Incomplete, incorrect and misapplied but thanks Mr. Expert. Speaking of where is your church? I'd love to come listen to the expert himself preach.

Yet another thread dedicated to this utter nonsense.

You seem to be confusing me for a flat earther.

And, not surprisingly, I'm not seeing any new arguments that haven't been debunked thousands of times.

We'll have to review the definition of debunk.

Yes, I do.

Those do not contradict my faith.
