Bible Question:
I've met a man in an on-line debate who says he rejects the bible because according to the bible the earth is flat. He claims there are no references in the bible to the earth's shape as being that of a sphere, but only a circle. For instance, Isaiha 40:22 reads "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in." Anyone? I've exhausted my resources on my own. Has anyone here run into this argument with atheists before? There are many readers looking for my answer. If anyone's got one, please let me know asap. Thanks! RoS |
Bible Answer: Hi, RoS! Remember when gay meant happy? Remember when scientist thought that the universe was so old that it was folding upon itself? Remember the claim of certain scientist about the sun dying out in x millions of years? Remember the proverbial chicken--egg (ditto for the hundreds of thousands of species on earth)? There are many people that will question your faith. Do not get caught up in the excitement of the moment--simply arguing to make a point on earthly terms will get you nowhere! God Bless! |
