1 | Why not literally? | Josh 10:12 | Makarios | 5150 | ||
There is no reason why we cannot interpret Joshua 10:12 literally! In fact, we must interpret this literally. But we will always be in speculation as far as how God actually chose to carry out this miracle. I believe that it did happen and in the way that is described in the Bible even though I have no knowledge of any archaeological findings that would help prove the skeptics wrong. Science is nothing compared to God's Holy Word. If you have God and live in His Spirit and in His Word, then you have gained so much more than you could have by attaining an understanding of science. I don't believe that reckoning the phrase "the sun standing still" is a figure of speech obtained from this verse, either. I believe that these events occurred just because they are mentioned in the Bible. That is enough for me. | ||||||
2 | Why not literally? | Josh 10:12 | Hank | 5179 | ||
Yes indeed, Nolan! Why not take God at His word? Even if science could "prove" the event of Joshua 10:12-13 one way or the other, chances are that it would at some time reverse itself. God and His word are eternal, unchanging and true. "Where were you," asks God of Job, "when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding." [Job 38:4] --Hank | ||||||
