Do you doubt the alien conspiracy?There are advantages to being on ignore. Now you can post safe in the knowledge that there will be no frustrating response from the person. When somebody indicates that the shape of the earth is a salvation issue, well, what can be said except heresy?
What I'd like to know is how these flat-earthers became aware of this dastardly plot. Obviously these aliens are pretty patient and great at planning since they've been working at it since ancient Greece and waited until the 1800s to enact the second step of their plot.I'm waiting to be abducted....no go yet. I'll let you know if or when.
It's part of a verse from a psalm of thanksgiving, and like all poetry it is rich with imagery that is not meant to be understood literally.@David Lamb & @prodromos
Well explain this logic, 1 Chron. 16:30 – “yea, the world stands firm, never to be moved.”
Why does Rod Skiba use strawman arguments?
My apologies for pressing you, but I don't understand what your collection of quotes is supposed to prove.
Why does Rod Skiba use strawman arguments?
here's what I sent to the original opening post:
"Some of the world's greatest scientists agree that an earth fixed center of the universe is a valid cosmology. They just don't prefer it for one reason or another."
It was an attempt to encourge the poster to keep believing the Bible in regards to its entire creation story in Genesis because even science doesn't contradict it. Only scientists.
The original poster gave me a "like". Mission accomplished.
Then, like always, come the comments condemning my good for evil. I'm used to it after twenty years of experience.
I understand that the Hebrew word translated "moved" means to totter, shake or slip.@David Lamb & @prodromos

I understand that the Hebrew word translated "moved" means to totter, shake or slip.
But 6275. atheq is not the word used for "moved" in 1 Chronicles 16:30. The Hebrew word used has this entry in Strong's: 04131. מוט mowt [mote]; a primitive root; to waver; by implication, to slip, shake, fall: — be carried, cast, be out of course, be fallen in decay, X exceedingly, fall(-ing down), be (re-)moved, be ready, shake, slide, slip.

No, they weren't.We must also remember that the Scriptures were dictated to the sacred writers by the Holy Ghost.
I agree that the writers were inspired by God's Holy Spirit so we can believe what was written, but as you know, the bible wasn't written in English. The Hebrew word the Holy Spirit inspired the writer to use in the verse in 1 Chronicles is 04131. מוט mowt [mote], which Strong tells us means to waver; by implication, to slip, shake, fall. So in no way does that verse go against the earth revolving on its axis, or orbiting the sun.We must also remember that the Scriptures were dictated to the sacred writers by the Holy Ghost. Thus, we take God’s Word for what it says, for He is the author of Scripture. There does not seem to be a compelling reason to depart from the literal and obvious sense of the following Scriptures which teach, both implicitly and explicitly, that the earth does not move.
Certainly, a literal interpretation is not untenable, nor does necessity require an alternative interpretation (because science has not disproved the geocentric theory; in fact, science also provides more evidence for geocentrism)

No, that's pretty much what Moslems claim for the KoranWe must also remember that the Scriptures were dictated to the sacred writers by the Holy Ghost.
Apart from the fact that it is a hymn of praise full of symbolism. Seen any trees singing lately? Any fields rejoicing?Thus, we take God’s Word for what it says, for He is the author of Scripture.

There you go telling porky pies again.Certainly, a literal interpretation is not untenable, nor does necessity require an alternative interpretation (because science has not disproved the geocentric theory; in fact, science also provides more evidence for geocentrism)
There you go telling porky pies again.
That is correct. My statement that you quoted above is indeed not a porky pie.This is not a porky pie.
Hi if I may ask a question if the sun does round the earth dose it go round the other planets as well.
