Flat Earth Theory

[Justified]

Good Morning

This is GREAT

You just undermined your position.

How, exactly?

So, no answer to my questions, despite repeated attempts. Why is that? That’s a sign you don’t know, and if you don’t even know things that should be basic to your position, how do you know it’s true?

Better go see a doctor for your outbreak of 'exegewiz'

Um, okay. Are you old enough to be posting on here? If so, please try posting mature responses, and Christlike would be good too.

Under the firmament and generally,
Altitude: Around 3,000 (or less) miles high, moving in a circular path above the plane.
Diameter: Around 30 to 32 miles wide.
Behavior: Operates like a directional lamp to illuminate only specific sections of the world at a time, creating day and night through its movement.

So-called man's science vs. God. Those who pray, discern. Those who do not pray, do not discern.

What is the diameter of the earth?

 

[Biblica]

Yes @"modern".


Today's version of "planets" is not the scriptural def of "planets".
planets = wandering stars.

And it's not the Hebrews' "knowledge of astronomy" but the idolatry of astrology that is being exposed in that passage.

You need to do more research. The Hebrews understood that there were planets. Even mars can be seen with the naked eye at certain seasons. I caught a very clear picture of it with my panasonic camera. If the Hebrews understood astrology then they had to have known there were planets because the whole ideology behind astrology is that people are influenced by planets.

It is but a reflection--not its own--but one projected as if its own--falsely. "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face" (1 Corinthians 13:12a).

That verse has nothing to do with the moon's light source.

What then, is the source of the light of the Moon? Or perhaps I should ask, What is the Source of the light of the Moon?

The moon has its own light:

Isa. 13:10
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

Isa. 30:26
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

Isa. 60:19-20
The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

Jer. 31:35
Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:

Mat. 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Mar. 13:24
But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

Eze. 32:7
And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

Rev. 21:23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

The Hebrews understood that there were planets.

That's a faulty premise. Again, the single appearance of the word "planets" in scripture is not equivalent to today's use of the word.

 

[ScottA]

God is not the author of confusion.

This myth effects a lot of scripture understanding. For God is indeed the Author of "confounding" also translated as "confusion." Which He ordered at Babel, and it has not been rescinded. And why did He do it? So we would not understand one another's speech. Which is a huge part of the problem with this issue.

 

[ScottA]

That verse has nothing to do with the moon's light source.

You don't get to decide that. God decides.

So...if that is any indication of the rest of your post--it's not good.

The Moon would have no light if it were not given it from above.

 

[doctrox]

The Moon would have no light if it were not given it from above.

You would have no life if you were not given it from above.

What is the Source of the light of the Moon?

It is but a reflection

and

You don't get to decide that. God decides.

Rather, God has decided the truth of the matter.

 

[ScottA]

Rather, God has decided the truth of the matter.

Yes, but you have not accounted for all scripture, nor do you understand. Which is not actually a criticism, but an observation of misunderstanding, that even scientifically, the Moon does not shine except where the light of the Sun reflects upon it.

 

[doctrox]

Yes, but you have not accounted for all scripture...the Moon does not shine except where the light of the Sun reflects upon it.

Scriptures, pls.

>>>>God said circle - He did not say sphere or ball.
David, place a plate and a ball on the ground at midday, now using a drone hover above them at approx house height & take a photo.
Both look like a circle from above :)
eg here's a ball in the sky yet it looks like a circle

Since God sits on the circle of the earth ....which side of the earth do you suppose His throne is where He is sitting?? I mean, according to you, God is sitting on the circle on a globe earth. He didn't say "circles" ....so then there would be a fixed place where He looks down and sees a circle? I guess God wouldn't be looking down on the other sides of the earth. lol

On a FLAT earth gravity would be equal regardless of location
Using your wisdom please list the verses that teach why that is not the case.

You didn't answer my question. Why did you ignore my question? It's a legit inquiry. Where is the circle of the earth? What side of the globe is God's throne?

Where is the circle of earth or a ball ?
You see a circle, so in that case the ball is also a circle and not a sphere.




On that 'circle' of the earth why does the equator see all the heavenly stars yet the North pole can't ?
If the Bible teaches why, then using your wisdom, list the verses
