Scientific ACCURACIES in the Bible

[Drich]

Well, it does certainly seem as though the Bible is referring to a flat circle. I am not 100% convinced and I do additionally think that Drich has something to offer to this conversation, but at the same time I don't see too much evidence for the spherical Earth suggestion in the Bible.

I think as it stands at the moment it does seem to be referring to a flat circle. Would be good to delve further though.

And man we're not even onto the next points yet though lol

That is because the passage in question is not referencing shape of the Earth, but expressing God's complete dominion over this world. Again shape is not what is being discussed here. to mix the Hebrew and English to come up with an arguement about shape is an act desperation to try and disprove the bible. For what fool relys on picking out only certain parts of a literal Hebrew translation only to ignore the contextual Hebrew to mix in English to derive a completely different message than what the passage states.. This arguement is held together with too many straw men to be taken seriously.

For again if this was about shape then know there isn't a Hebrew word for sphere, which makes the arguement null and void to begin with. Chuwg (not chug) is the transliterated word being used, and it is the closest thing they had to describe this world. So Isaiah used it. Nothing more needs to be added and at the same time nothing can be taken from that either.

Well, I like Drich being here personally - nice to have different views

I think the thing about washing your hands is that apparently it wasn't common knowledge back then that that was useful in any way. I'll see if I can find the passage(s)...

Here is a thread about washing in the Bible (I only read the first post as I think that backs up what I'm about to say): http://www.thechristadelphians.org/forum...topic=6013

It seems to refer to SPIRITUAL cleanliness, not physical cleanliness in terms of germs, etc. Water also does not kill germs.

And when he that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself even days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean (Leviticus 15:13)

OT jews didn't have soap. So what was better? washing with water or leaving the grime of the day/weeks on your hands, skin and cloths?

So.. your only defense is to push Your beliefs and morals onto us? To do exactly what it is you have accused us of doing? How is this not hypocrisy?

And when have we done that?

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but was I talking to you? Or any of the 'we' other than the person who that comment was directed?

That person along with a few others had me ban from another web site for not being an atheist/supporting his thoughts of God.
