BeyondET, I asked you a question, and that verse does not directly or indirectly answer it.

I wanted to point out to everyone, that stopping the earth from simply "spinning on it's axis" will not achieve the effect of the Sun and Moon stopping on the Globe Earth model.

God would have to cease movement of everything in the entire universe, while operation in and around the Earth's surface is allowed to continue. All time and space would need to cease flowing, except the time and space on the surface of earth.

I Wasn't questioning the power of God, I was questioning your poor understanding of the heliocentric model, because when you say this:

"do you think God has the ability to slow down earth while keeping everyone on earth nice and snug. Or do you think He stopped things and then God said O my what have I done now everyone on earth has been killed."

It implies you believe "slowing down earth" will achieve the effect of the sun standing still and the moon stopping.

All I know is I have flown to Sydney, Australia and back to the U.S. 5 times.....4 times from Dallas and once from L.A.

Takes almost 17 hours non-stop from Dallas to Sydney and about 14.5 hours coming back....

Flying the Same distance, Same speed and Same Height above the Earth....................

Yea I believe the earth stopped that's about it, the sun spins but doesn't rotate, and the moon is in tidal lock with earth so when the earth stopped well the moon as well. Our solar system is on one of the spiral arms our galaxy yet the galaxy nor the entire universe was not affected just The earth. :)

OK, you have a simplistic understanding that even your own model doesn't support, no need to go any further:)

Arrrg Correction to my last statement, the sun does rotate, the Sun is the center of our solar system and our whole solar system rotates around our galaxy thus yes indeed our sun rotates but this didn't have any affect on one day because our solar system takes 240 million years to make one complete rotation around our galaxy.

You are learning (googling) as you go here, and are arguing my model of the universe supported by The Bible, with false science that you put your faith is true without actually understanding what you subscribe to, no need to go any further:)

I don't believe in yours because it is not supported by The Bible, I believe the videos and images are CGI or contain CGI, and It does not pass tests that I can perform with my own senses(The zodiac never moving, ancient structures remaining aligned to stars are precise dates, ancient cultures supporting flat earth, I believe satanist/new age occultists created and currently perpetuate the lie today).

You don't believe in my model because you subscribe to the official one that I myself once believed in as I was a child and trusted the entire world wasn't deceived and indirectly or directly lieing to me.

All I want to do is expose yours for the lie it is, so you can gain a deeper layer of respect and appreciation for The Bible, and come be one of us one of us one of us.


Anyway, your logic is wrong, for a few reasons, but the main is that look I'm not a "scientist" nor do I understand nature all that well, but:

we have the seasons because of the 365 day or so, "orbit of the earth around the sun", and during this 365 day period the path of the sun in our sky appears to change and is why the day/night balance and temperatures fluctuate.

Even if you stop the earth from rotating, this "orbit" would still cause the sun to appear to move in the sky because of the varied path this phenomenon causes the sun to appear to take over the course of a year.

So, stopping the earth from "rotating" alone, will not stop the sun from moving in the sky. OK?

The lie goes deeper however, as they now say that the earth is not "technically" orbiting the sun

Technically, Earth Does Not Orbit Around the Sun | RealClearScience

This is just another lie to cover up the flaws, errors, and blind spots in their logic. Do you understand how often your model completely changes? It is a work (definition #1:activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result) in progress.

You don't know what the Bible says aside from what some nut job is telling you it says.....ie: that NASA and the space program is an elaborate hoax propped up by countless co-conspirators who have a secret water tank where all the "missions" are filmed. Frank Borman is an illuminati member and my cousin who works for NASA is an inept fool who doesn't know that he is pretending to maintain the satellite fleet. Lol.

oh...and they've keeping up the charade for 6 decades. I think I found absurds other retarded cousin.

The Earth's tilt
The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees. This means that the Earth is always "pointing" to one side as it goes around the Sun. So, sometimes the Sun is in the direction that the Earth is pointing, but not at other times. The varying amounts of sunlight around the Earth during the year, creates the seasons.
The tilt of the Earth's AXIS is the most important reason why seasons occur.

We have hot summers and cold winters because of the tilt of the Earth's axis.

The tilt of the Earth means the Earth will lean towards the Sun (Summer) or lean away from the Sun (Winter) 6 months later. In between these, Spring and Autumn will occur.

Important Facts

The Earth revolves around the Sun.
The North pole always points the same way as the Earth revolves around the Sun.
The Earth's movement around the sun causes the seasons.
During a Year

The Earth takes 365.24 days to orbit the sun. As we move around the Sun during the year, the amount of light each area of the planet receives varies in length.

When the Earth's axis points towards the Sun, it is summer for that hemisphere. When the Earth's axis points away, winter can be expected.

north pole never points directly at the Sun.

Autumn

The north pole begins to move away from the Sun. The Sun rises lower in the sky so the days start getting shorter. When the Sun is at its mid-point in the sky, we reach the 'autumn equinox', around 22 September. Day and night are both 12 hours long and its the beginning of autumn.

Spring

The Earth continues on its path, and our north pole starts moving towards the Sun again. The Sun moves upwards in our skies and the days continue getting longer. Again, we reach a midpoint when day and night are both 12 hours long. This is called the 'vernal (or spring) equinox' and happens around 21 March.

Hey pckts I'm not completely rebuking you or anything but how does your model explain the longest day of the year and the shortest day of the year as well as the two equal day lengths of the year?

Listing a series of facts (according to heleocentrism) about the seasons, is not a response to me explaining to you that the Earth's "orbit" causes the sun to move in the sky irregardless of weather or not the earth is rotating. Too bad, I thought I was on the verge of getting through to you :(

The Bible doesn't talk about this, flat earth model has an explanation, and whatever other Bible Friendly models have an explanation too. I can't just keep answering question and question as all my points and questions poised to the other side go ignored. You can find a "logical" explanation for those things on a "flat" or whatever word is used in place of globe model.

Well if you want me to begin to understand and believe in your model this you will have to explain to me. If you can in a logical manner I'm open to other points of view.

Can you respond to this first:

Do you now agree that stopping the rotation of earth alone will not stop the sun from moving in the sky on the heliocentric model?

First things first I need the info on your model of the different lengths of day at different times during the year.

Of course the earth doesn't 'technically' orbit the sun. Don't even have to click the link to tell you what it says - both the sun and all the planets orbit the center of mass of the entire system. That center of mass is very near the center of the sun, owing to its enormity in comparison to the rest of the mass of the system.

That's not a change in the model at all - it is exactly as the law of gravity discovered by Newton ((a devout Christian)) describes it should be.

Pckts, if by your own admission you don't understand what you're talking about, why are you so vehemently arguing over it?
