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.

Also, why would it be mentioned? It's not exactly important for the message of salvation.

Gods true creation the one we see every day moving in the raqia, that is described in the Bible. Is a witness to the truthfulness of the Bible and the glory of God.

The fabricated one by science/man and satan is nothing but a witness to the lies of man, science/scientist and satan.

First scientists were saying that it was, then they said that it wasn't,.. after that they were saying that they were right the first time,.. so what are we on now? Is it considered a planet or not? And why or why not?

When Pluto was discovered, we didn't know about the many objects in our solar system which we now call "dwarf planets", and so Pluto was added to the list of planets in the solar system.

As we discovered more, and more Pluto-like objects in the solar system, there was a question: Do we say that there are dozens of planets? Or do we create a new classification for these smaller objects? This resulted in a new classification: dwarf planets. Pluto is one among many dwarf planets in the solar system, and so school children now only need to memorize eight planets instead of nine.

In 1801 astronomers discovered Ceres, and it was for several decades classified as a planet in the 1800's, but as more objects were discovered in what we call the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, Ceres was reclassified from a planet to an asteroid. But then, when the new classification of dwarf planet was created, Ceres was also reclassified again as a dwarf planet. So this kind of reclassification isn't new, it happens sometimes when it becomes easier to talk about certain things, or as we learn more about them.

I do not have add a footnote to many areas in the Bible, explaining certain parts of the Bible, because they do not match up with science. The revelation was given long ago and does not need modern science to complete it.

I can believe the accounts as given in the Bible as they are, like Genesis 1, Joshua 10, Isaiah 38 etc...

Job 38:37?
Welcome to Hebrew Poetry 101.

We'll begin with synonymous parallelisms.

Job 38:37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

clouds = bottles of heaven

Any questions?

Good question.

I admit though, that I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone really, seriously believes in flat earthism.

That's just so off the wall it's ... well ... off the wall.

Why do you think i would have to add a footnote explaining this verse.

Well if you apply the same super literal interpretation to it that gives you a flat earth, you would have to conclude that rain comes from literal bottles hanging in the sky.

I wonder if Flat Earth Christians think:
"Duh! Of course Obama wasn't the Antichrist... he doesn't have seven heads!"

This applying a super literal label to the reading of the Bible is similar to the false label. That the people who promote a works, obedience, performance base receiving of eternal life (salvation). Apply to the believers who believe in, free grace receiving of eternal life (salvation) and that label is easy believism.

They bring these false attacks against the core of how God offers Eternal Life as a free gift to anyone who believes that Jesus is the promised Messiah from the Tanakh. And offers Eternal Life, to who believes this and trust in the Messiah for the free gift of Eternal Life.

In similar fashion these so call creationist attack people who simply believe the creation account given in the Bible as given, without having to use or make the creation account match up with science lies.

So you what to prove that i should not believe accounts from the Bible like Joshua 10, Isaiah 38, Genesis 1, Psalms 19, Psalms 136, etc... as given in the Bible then prove this from the Bible and not by dragging in pagan science into the fray.

An antichrist is anyone who does not believe that Jesus is God (The Messiah), so that label fits many.

Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

So, the beast of Revelation 13, chimerical monster with seven horned heads, literal?

So do you or do you not believe that rain comes from bottles hanging in the sky?

Looks like you just do not understand, try reading this again.
