Here's a simple read that should clear it up for you. http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/febible.htm I don't know why I try though, as I highly doubt you would even bother to read the link, choosing prideful ignorance over humiliating knowledge. |
Ok, first off... Why the presumptuous disposition, ManusJustus? We're all friends here. No need to belittle me, thank you. This is benign debate.
The Bible indeed says the Earth is "firm", "fixed", and "immovable". Is it not mostly comprised of rock? Should I worry about North America rocking back and forth every time I step on it? And tell me... can you move it? These adjectives ≠ "the Earth is flat". As Kasz is saying, this is a huge reach.
"Ends of the earth." "Four corners of the earth." I still have trouble finding "the Earth is flat" anywhere in those figures of speech.
In reference to Isaiah describing the Earth as a circle, he had no other choice; there is no Hebrew word that means "sphere"!! To call the Earth a "circle" is the closest he could get. Hebrew is a very ambiguous language, my friend. Twisting the meaning of Bible verses to fit your position is not recommended.
