Does the Bible support the idea of a spinning ball earth flying through space, or is that a Satanic, Masonic lie?

This is an image that I shot just 3 days ago. Summer solace known as the longest day of the year, in this image you will see plannet Venus in a position you would never normally see it

I can't upload a bigger file at the moment, but working on it
File to large but you'll see the moon and plannet Venus as a small dot
Click on the blue link to open it up.
I have been observing Venus in the night sky for about a couple of months now, and even posted about it in
the
strictly miscellaneous thread, (<= link) because it is trailing the sun at quite a distance compared to normal,
and yes, right now it has been conjunct the moon for a few days, giving a very nice view! If your file is too large
to post, you should be able to resize it in paint, and failing that, you can use postimages.org to resize on upload
.:)
Then you simply take the direct link url they give you in the second line of links, and put it in the image tags.

The Smoke (Satan) chokes unbelievers and blinds their minds to the scripture ----this occurs until the unbeliever finally comes to their senses and realises they are a sinner and is drawn by God to change their hardened heart to a responsive heart to His word so the right Faith is inbirthed in them ------no one comes to Jesus unless they are drawn by the Father by a heart change -----

Only the will the Smoke start to go downward ------



Ezekiel 36:26 — New Living Translation (NLT)
26 And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.

Whether the earth is round --square ---rectangular ---spinning - etc makes no difference ---if God thought that was an important piece of info that He wanted known He would have put that Info in plain sight in His word ---and it is not in plain view so all humans can do is argue get confused and speculate on this ---which takes the focus off of the real spiritual message in the scripture ----which is more important than mere humans trying to speculate on information that God deems unimportant to tell us in His Word -----

We all need to take Heed to what God says

but yet there's not one title that says the earth is flat here.

I just wonder if everyone sees Jesus, does that mean its Because Jesus doesn't like to walk round in circles ? I mean you could make anything fit that, along with all the other 200 ideas.



According to the bible God made the twelve tribes of Israel walk round in circles for 40 years.

I wonder how long you will walk round in circles.

Probably until the cube earth model becomes accepted.

I would love to hear compelling and intelligent answers to that question. I have been asking that among the Christian community for 8 years now without getting an answer that holds water. If I asked "does the Bible support the idea that we live on a motionless plane, with the Sun, Moon, and stars circling around us, I would expect a flurry of Bible verses, since they are there. Going to bed now, but look forward to reading replies tomorrow.
I have not noticed a chapter in the scripture based on astronomy.

I doubt whether the scripture has anything to do with science.

Science is based on the idea that the universe can be understood, by observation, measurement, repeatable experiments, etc.

Scripture is the revelation of the Christ to mankind. The shape of the earth has nothing to do with the revelation of Jesus.

The way I see and approach the question is. The Bible is not a science book. If a person is approaching the Bible as a science book As in to answer science questions they miss the reason for the Bible and that is pointing the reader to saving faith ,hope and love in our God. People get so hung up on minor details that have zero to do with salvation or the faith. Flat or round does it really biblically matter? The Bible is written to a people who had zero concept of round earth. If God were to talk about a axis ,orbits, hemispheres, atmospheres the reader with less than a kindergarten level of understanding today would not be able to follow and get lost. God speaks to the culture in ways in which they will understand in this case agrarian and practical(seed) (field) (plow). (Harvest) (reap). (4corners of the earth) (earths foundation) that’s how the culture understood the world with simply what was visible to their eyes in the moment for what they understand. We serve a very practical and gracious God who loves to talk to us in our cultural language, context and educational understanding of the world around us.

Yes, science is there ,history is there without doubt. But it’s not the primary purpose. I would think the only context in which one should point to science in the Bible is to make the case for what a great God we have. Not to get dogmatic about minor disagreement weather flat or round but to hold that loosely in light of the greater context.
To me at least , if I pick up a leaf off a tree. Look at its shape and unique vein patterns against the sunlight, feel it’s texture between my fingers it means so much more in that moment thanking God for His unique creation for our enjoyment than if I were to take that leaf to a science lab . Put it under a microscope and thank God for that chlorophyll and whatever other scientific language I could bring to bear at the moment at a cellular level. Now maybe that s just my brain vs someone else’s. Not that science doesn’t matter. It does but for me appreciating Gods creation and thanking Him for it comes better out tangible, naked eye observation of His creation rather than dissecting His creation down to cells and proteins. Just the way my brain is wired to enjoy the simplicity I suspect.

it's more about appreciating God's scientific mind.

That's what I mean when science is there because only a genius could set the coordinates of the stars And map out the DNA of a human being
And know every hair on your head 🙂

No that is not so ---unbeliever cannot spiritually understand any scripture ------the Bible is for believers -Get this ------the Bible is a Spiritual book for Spiritual believers ------who rely on the Holy spirit to direct them and give them discernment into the truth of the Scriptures and the truth of the Scriptures will never point to confusion -----Confusion comes from Satan not God -

You ignorance is showing in knowing who the Bible is for --------

Unbelievers are classed as the Natural man and to the Natural Man God says this
And yet, I'm not the one who is saying "Did God really say?", when it is clear that He did. Ponder that.
