Bible Question (short): What obligates to believe earth spinds? |
Question (full): Nolan: Thanks for your comments. In this forum some have used the expression sola scriptura (Scripture only), which I accept. If Scripture, God's word, is our only source of truth, then what can be proven true by science, and mathematics? Then too, can science or math prove ANY biblical statement true or false? With respect to our present discussion in Joshua, what obligates us to believe that the earth spends and then deny that the sun and moon stood still? Unless it can be shown by sound methods of interpretation that the phrase is figurative, we have to accept it as literal. So far, the only reason given to take it as figurative is NOT based on a study of Scripture, but by imposing a belief on the Scripture, a belief whose source is not the Bible, but science. How do you know Jesus loves you? But how do you know the earth spins on its axis? Yours in Him whoes word is the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth (Rom 2:20) Lionstrong |
