Subject: Where ARE the four corners of the earth? |
Bible Note: Good morning, Hank. Do you remember when “space travel” began? Do you remember the time before desktop computers? So do I. And you are right. The earth having four corners does “sound farfetched”. About as farfetched as a handheld computer sounded when it took a huge room to hold one computer. As far as the credibility of that “Science News Letter 87:139 dated June 19, 1965 – what’s to doubt? Why would the U.S. Navy and John Hopkins University “conspire” to change the shape of the world? Because the mentioned article didn’t refer to any Scripture doesn’t make it less credible. I have read many articles filled with Scripture that are deceptive through and through. We look at a globe and, because it was “designed” centuries before “science” discovered the real shape of the world, we take it as “credible” that the world is round. A grapefruit is round. Pears and eggs aren’t. Which one best “describes” the world as we know it today? Hint – it’s two out of the above three. While an egg and pear have "no corners" they have "angles". Do I dare to write about the "actual pillars" that Scripure accurately describes in 1 Sam. 2:8? Blessings, Taleb P.S. About the color of the North and South Poles – they are the exact same color as forgiven sin. Though our sins be as scarlet, they shall become white as the Poles. :) |
