2 | Earth round or flat? Sun center of syste | Is 40:22 | Pastor Glenn | 120357 | ||
Razman, Notice the "circle of the earth": Isa 40:21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? Isa 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: Also notice "hangeth the earth upon nothing": Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. Looks like an ancient discription of planetary orbit that would pass any definition of relativity that Einstein could have come up with. Hope this helps, Pastor Glenn |

Pastor Glenn, good to hear from you. ....... Some years ago I attended a series of lectures delivered by a geologist with a Ph.D. The man was also a Christian. During one lecture he quoted extensively from Genesis, Job, and Isaiah, including the verses you quote in your post. At one point he stopped and observed with a chuckle, "Isn't it amazing how much God knew back then, centuries before modern scientists arrived on the scene to explain His universe to Him?" --Hank | ||||||

Amen Brother Hank, I also like the story of Daniel and the 3 Hebrew boys that learned science under the King of Babylon's best instructors. It was the fear of the Lord that made them 10 times better than all others. Daniel 1:4 Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Keep up the good work here Hank and all others here that continually defend the faith. |
