1 | Why do you believe the earth revolves? | Josh 10:12 | Radioman | 5394 | ||
My recommendation regarding answering Lionstrong: KVJ Pr 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Pr 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. TEV Proverbs 26:4-5 If you answer a silly question, you are just as silly as the person who asked it. Give a silly answer to a silly question, and the one who asked it will realize that he's not as smart as he thinks. God's Word Version 26:4-5 Do not answer a fool with his own stupidity, or you will be like him. Answer a fool with his own stupidity, or he will think he is wise. Radioman |

If you count me a fool, Radioman, and count my questions silly, then do as the Scriture says and give me a silly answer to this question: Why do you believe the sun and moon did not stand still? |

3 | A silly question? | Josh 10:12 | charis | 5417 | ||
Dear Lionstrong, I have considered this line of questioning, and can't think of any reason to obstinately deny the earth revolving on it's axis. I know that Bible says the Sun and moon stopped, but from the point of view of the writers of the Bible, and most readers for a good part of history, this is how it appeared. To try to explain to laymen 2 or 3,000 years ago about the solar system, planetary motion, etc. would be difficult. In any case, for the sun to be circling the earth would require it to travel at a velocity faster than the speed of light (approximately 314,000,000,000 miles per second). When God 'stopped' the sun, it would wreak havoc on more than the Amorites. I am no astronomer, but that would totally blow away anthing we know of physics. God can negate physics at any time He so chooses, but it seems that he only chooses to do so in certain miraculous situations, such as the one above. (Stopping the revolution of the earth, a path through the Red Sea, and many others) Not every day, all day long, as in making a supra-light-speed sun circle us. If we claim that all physical knowledge is suspect, we live in a fantasy world, with no rules or order (Harry Potter?). I believe that our God is a God of order. Blessings to you in Jesus' name, charis |
