your blind faith is causing people to doubt The Bible
-​
No actually it is that people have more faith in man and science, than in God and His word. I am not causing that, my beliefs are just that my beliefs, if a person is affected by what i believe. Then they must not have a well grounded faith.

How would a partial sun be possible if the Earth were flat?

My belief is, the sun and moon are both convex disk that face down to the earth some thousands of miles up in the raqia. As they move in their course from coming into sight in the morning to going out of sight in the evening they pass out of a persons line of visual sight ability. In other words people can only see so far. The sun (or moon) as the lights move away from the observer. They move down (only visually) closer to a person eye's horizon line, eventually moving out of sight as the sun and moon move further away from the person.

The Sun has been seen from both sides simultaneously and in every other orientation by the STEREO mission. The Sun is most definitely a sphere. See here for a summary of STEREO accomplishments:

Well you have your belief that what these people say is true. Which i do not believe. because i have my belief, what God says about the sun He created. That God created the sun and set it in the dome of the sky to give light on the earth,

The text does not say to light up the moon in phases or to light up a solar system. etc....

It's not about belief. It is about observed properties.
That God created the sun and set it in the dome of the sky to give light on the earth,
The sky doesn't have a "dome".
The text does not say to light up the moon in phases or to light up a solar system. etc....
The "text" is irrelevant to the facts easily observable about the sun.

Bible is not God. Bible was written by men, with their vocabulary and cultural references. Its inspired theologically, not scientifically.

The author of Genesis is not God. The author is traditionally Moses, but it was composed of various very old sources.

Something that is not stated in the Bible, thus your belief (at least some of it) is not based on the Bible.

'Your belief'.......


Not scientific. Not fact.

Yes it is, you believe that scientist have stated, they have sent a craft out in space and this craft sent images back of all sides of the sun.

There is nothing different from you posting a link to a website of images that you believe are real.

Than me posting text from The Bible that i believe is God's word.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

You have faith in man and his words and images, I have faith in God and His word.

I never said that what i believe about the sun and moon (being convex) are in The Bible. But it is in The Bible, that God states these lights were created to give light to the earth.

The Bible does not have to be God to state creation truths from God. God is a perfect communicator, if you must because of science, make excuses for the creation descriptions. That is your prerogative, but it is not mine. I believe The Bible's creation account in The Bible as given by God and inspired recorded by man. Science will never cause me to doubt The Bibles creation accounts or try to make The Bible agree with science.
