Scripture states that there will no sun or moon and no more night, that includes the earth.
You say, that include the earth. Scriptures does not teach what you are saying here. What? The Sun explodes? The Moon flies off into out space? What? The Earth stops rotating completely?
Scriptures talks of no night, ONLY in reference to the New City Jerusalem. All of Chapter 21 is referring to the New City Jerusalem, and also the first part of chapter 22 too.
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. (please notice it does not say the Sun no longer exists, or the moon no longer exists, it is talking about inside the Holy City, which has no need of the Sun or the moon)
Rev 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
Rev 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. (Where is "There"? The New City Jerusalem, NOT the Earth.)
No night there, where is there? you say Earth, but the Scriptures teach it is referring to the Holy City. The whole Chapter of Revelation 21 is talking about the Holy City, NOT the Earth. Again Scriptures plainly teach there is no night in the Holy City, you teach there is no night on the Earth as well. That is not Scriptural, if you think it is, then reveal the Scriptures that teaches no night there includes the Earth as well.
Whatever is being said for the new Jerusalem is true for the new earth. Please present scripture that shows that the new earth will have the sun and moon to shine on it.
lol, you have not shown anywhere in Scriptures which teach that somehow the New Earth does not have a sun and moon, but you want me to show you Scriptures that the New Earth will have a Sun and Moon. That is like asking me to show you Scriptures that says the New Earth will have flowers. The Earth right now has a Sun and a Moon, has Days and Nights. You say that will stop, it is on you then to show relevant Scriptures that teach the EARTH will no longer have Days and Nights like you are teaching. Scriptures teach that the New City Jerusalem will not have Days and Nights, but you teach the Earth does not either, then it is on you to show the Scriptures which teach what you are saying.
It is written the Earth abideth forever, i guess the Sun must blow up according to you. Where did the Sun go? Where did the Moon go? You teach the Earth no longer has Days and Nights, So then please explain what happened to the Sun, what happened to the moon, what happened to the rotation of the Earth which causes Days and Nights.
Brother you do error in confusing the "No night there" with the Earth, that is NOT what it is referring too. The "No night there" is specifically talking about inside the New City Jerusalem which comes down out of Heaven with the Father in it, and the Son in it, so they can dwell among the humans on the Earth. You say the Earth does not have days and nights, Show Scriptures that back up what you are saying, if you are able. i know you can't, because there are no verses which teach such a thing, you do error brother in that thinking.
