Scientific ACCURACIES in the Bible

[Drich]

I would be interested in how Genenius came to the conclusion that it can mean "sphere."

They are not the only ones I have several hard copies and alll say sphere.. Maybe you can write a letter and find out.

Did he see the Isaiah passage in question and come to the conclusion that "...well, chuwg/chug [same word] certainly means sphere here because the Bible can't contradict reality"?

Also, some other lexicons don't include "sphere" http://concordances.org/hebrew/2329.htm

Look up the word compass in the english. It describes a curved circumference or, circumscribed space.

Drich, you're also ignoring the context of the verse too. As my quotation explained, it makes more sense to read it as describing a flat earth in the context of the verse

If we are looking at context we can not float between the Hebrew and english, we must pick one and seek clarity or establish context using one set of words. Here in the Hebrew the word in question Literally describes a circled circumfrance. The bibles that are traditionaly translated in english will Almost always give a direct translation rather than an interperated version. Unless you seek out an easy to read or understand version. Matter of fact, the ERV says shpere. The traditional versions will stick to a more literal interpertation and leave it to the reader to figure things out. Remember the bible (traditional transllations) were not written for the masses. There is alot more needed to understand what is on page that just a quick read or on page understanding of what is being communicated.

Men who lived 2500 years ago would have understood particle physics or a nuclear reactor had a competent tutor explained it to them. Don't even try that shit...

Your ancestors weren't complete fucking morons, they just didn't have the right tools..ffs.....

So every single man who lived from that time to this had to be taught all of these things? is that what you are saying God needed to do in order to make salvation possiable?

So basically we all need a complete understanding of how the universe works to be saved? is this what you are saying?
