Subject: Scriptural reference to a flat earth? |
Bible Note: A circle is still a 2-dimensional object, and is very flat on its surface. Now, if the bible said a sphere I would have something more to take to the person who said this. Perhaps this is just one of those times when if you don't want to believe what the bible has to say you will find any reason to call it errant. I'm thankful for my duaghter's and my faith, but still need to address this issue better. Thanks for your help. |
