then it is wrong.
You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine.
So I am just as entitled to say: YOU are wrong.
I actually am expert on the Bible and you appear to be a novice.

Yes. The majority of people are non-Christian.
I believe one-third will be saved. But when you add in the aborted babies it becomes more than half or a majority of all people. Only too bad that a lot of their parents will not make it to heaven to be reunited with their children.

It is within your ability to do so.
Really, you can know that without actually testing someone. Do you tell handicapped and disabled people the same thing, you can do it? Maybe you have a magic formula to solve all the problems and issues in the world. Could you start with putting an end to war and people hurting each other? Then maybe you can go to the hospital and heal everyone there and clean them out and put the doctors out of business. It must be wonderful for you to have the ability to work miracles like that. Just tell them to work a little harder and put a bit more effort into it.

Why are you just so rude to everyone you talk to?

Of course I use a translation (to the extent I use a bibble at all), I don't speak or read Hebrew and using Greek letters to make words just seems wrong to me. None of this. (Let me repeat) NONE OF THIS alters the fact that you stated that firmament refers to the atmosphere with the knowledge that the text of Gen 1 puts the stars IN THE FIRMAMENT. The stars aren't in the atmosphere, so something is wrong. Is it You? Is it Gen 1? Is it your interpretation of Gen 1? They can't all be true.

Do you know the physics of light? If you do that what effect does our atmosphere have on the light from stars?

Let me ask you a question, all knowing one,

how does airmass impact reddening?


(Also this has jack squat to do with the position of the stars in the firmament. I repeat: NONE OF THIS alters the fact that you stated that firmament refers to the atmosphere with the knowledge that the text of Gen 1 puts the stars IN THE FIRMAMENT.)

Dunning-Kruger effect or individuals who think they are a legend in their own minds.

Is that what you think of yourself? Thanks for the warning.
That is fine, believe what you want.

how does airmass impact reddening?
Airmass can impact reddening through the process of atmospheric extinction. Atmospheric extinction refers to the gradual loss of light intensity as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere due to the scattering and absorption of light by atmospheric particles, such as dust and gases.

As light passes through the Earth's atmosphere, it is scattered and absorbed by these particles, causing the light to lose some of its intensity and change its color. This process is more pronounced for shorter wavelength light, such as blue and green light, which are scattered more easily than longer wavelength light, such as red and yellow light.

This would have been more fun before chat bots.

Now mr. user @Diamond7 do you actually understand what you copied and pasted into the reply box? I do. (And I did before you posted. Decades before.)

It's not a matter of belief. Here is the text with all of the firmaments mentioned:

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And 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.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

Question 1: Is the firmament the same as the atmosphere or is it something different?

A rather silly petulant comment.
Unlike you I respect the expertise of others in this forum and through private correspondence.
You are clearly no expert as personal opinion using a chatbot is no substitute for the acquisition of knowledge and understanding through education, hard work and dedication.
