Why Is The Bible So Revered As The "Word of GOD"?

You're a master at talking in circles, . . . I bet you even trip yourself up. :lol: Listen up and follow closely. Okay, I got the scripture mixed up. However, it does not change the fact that Job 26:7 says, " . . . the earth hangs upon nothing." And at Isaiah 40:22 it says, "There is one who is dwelling above the circle of the earth . . ."
You can talk as much bullshit ass you like, because it’s written in most bibles, there for all to see - you can't stop that!!! :mrgreen:
Ha, I'm talking in circles? You're fucking delusional. You ignore the substance of the post. I told you to show me one book, bible or otherwise that translates chug into sphere. You can ignore it all day long but there is no biblical Hebrew word for sphere. The earth is not a circle. Circles are not spheres. The earth doesn't sit on foundations. You cannot see the 'ends of the earth.' It is not fixed in place. The sun does not revolve around it, it revolves around the sun.

If the supposed scientific truths are not an example of making scripture to fit to be consistent with science, rather than true foreknowledge that leads scientific discovery, why wasn't the Church fighting for all of these interpretations. They should have read God's word and came to the same conclusion as you that the earth is really spherical and Galileo should not have been tried for heresy.

You cannot produce one piece of evidence except for the bible itself to verify any of the stories of the bible including the prophecies. That is the very definition of circular reasoning. Every other religious text has evidence that their god is the correct one.

there is proof that everything written in the vedas is getting confirmed, they have found the city of Lord Krisha and the location of the war of marbartha which was written to on excess of 3000 years before Christ. They have also found information on the Bridge Lord Rama made to rescue his wife on the edge of Lanka and you can research that as well " RamaSetu Bridge" it was written 4 thousand years ago.

Have faith, that's all that's required of you. There is no need to demonstrate scientific truths in the bible. Doing so just demonstrates your inability in applying critical thought. That's okay, there's still time to learn. Critical thinking takes practice and you have to recognize and let go of some of your tightly held biases.

I am a Creationist. Blame it on my lack of education, scientific mind, or otherwise. I believe there is a power greater than i(purposely not capitalized). I just can't see the odds working out in our favor without SOME kind of plan. I believe in coincidence. But millions or billions of them? I don't see it. Maybe I'm blind, but.......
I bet Dumbphuk, believe in evolution, without a fossil record - billions and billions of years. :lol:

"Let's stir this pot up a bit"

- hang on let me get the butter.

"What about the idea that we come from a race of Humanoids beyond our solar system?"

That's bullshit. "Humanoids" is not used in the bible therefore it didn't happen.
That's funny LOL. So what has made God and the bible real for you then, what epiphany did you have? Or was it your parents who brainwashed you?

that the problem...spend so much time focusing on where we came from...your not paying attention to where your going
That sounds very clearly a personal opinion which only makes sense in your head. I doubt many people would agree with you on this one.

You know as well as I do that the Church had its own agenda, including hiding the "truth" from people, much like your doing now. bongsmilie

of course it was personal opinion....im not trying to get people to agree with me.i spoke my mind on a certain subject. i just don't see the point it trying to "figure out where we came from" for how many thousands of years have they been trying to figure that out...and do you think any of these people are going to figure that out in our lifetime? if they haven't figure it out with 100% certainty by now...they sure as hell are not going to stumble on the answer anytime soon.so sit back...enjoy whatever superstition you choose to follow...enjoy what you have and what you know now before death creeps up on your ass while you wasted it trying to figure out where you came from....if people cant agree with that then they don't really understand what reality is

I think it is very possible that Religion has played a vital role in suppressing the real truth about our origins, which would ultimately expose religion for the fraud that it is, and I mean all religions! And I think that time is near.

Assuming mankind has wasted time trying to figure out his origins again has to be personal opinion.....that implication has no effect on the fact that as a civilisation we have advanced at a compound rate so where are we falling behind?......spiritually perhaps, but where does thinking our past and origins having no bearing on where we want to be going.

On your advice I shall cancel that weekly "where did we come from seminar" and free up another hour to get stoned and think about the difference between our "origins" and "not crying over spilt milk" or "the past is the past".

Now I'm hiding the truth? Everything I have said can be independently verified. Still waiting for you to show us any evidence that the bible mentioned a spherical earth. All you have to do is link anywhere that can confirm Hebrew 'chug' can mean sphere.

BTW, the Church wasn't alone in it's silence on the whole spherical earth. There have been countless theologians and other Jews and Xians that seemed to miss this important detail that you claim is clearly in the bible. Of course it wouldn't matter anyway if it happened to find it's way into the bible. The ancient Greeks already knew the earth was a sphere and Eratosthenes actually measured it's circumference fairly accurately. It was not some secret knowledge that only a deity could have known.

what advice did i give...don't remember giving any advice in that...but good work on clarifying again that it was my opinion...seeing is that is what i said with the very first sentence.you can look into what and where we came from..thats fine...like i said before...i just choose to not look at the past...no matter what the answer is..its not going to change my future. maybe others but not mine.we could have started out as sea monkeys for all i care...wont change who i am or where im going.once again.JUST MY OPINION...you have yours...as i have mine

Um... the sun has been getting hotter since it's inception, yet we have had numerous ice ages on earth and numerous hot periods. Humans are always so arrogant to only think in their conception of time, think about the Earth's timeframes and you will see that this is a small breath for the earth.

The sun has been hitting the earth with solar flares for as long as they have been dancing in the skies, this is no different today. 2012.......mwuah mwuah mwuah..LOL.

it's true!


... in contemporary hebrew cosmology the common belief was that the earth was formed as a planoconcave plate with slightly raised edges covered by high mountains, where the heavens were attached to the earth....god even stretched out the heavens over the earth like a canopy in Isaiah (13 to 22? i refuse to look it up, to stoned)...this completely loses all meaning and become utterly absurd if you try to apply the text to an image of a spherical earth...it does perfectly fit with a flat earth model though....
i too have a need for more clarification on this small matter

EDIT:

and all the ice keeps melting....or do you need me to pull up (no doubt doctored) images of our polar caps?

Without access to Isaiah's actual writings, we can never know exactly what he wrote about Babylon. The only evidence that you have is the bible itself. The bible is correct because the bible is correct.
Among the eleven caves, Cave 1, which was excavated in 1949, and Cave 4, excavated in 1952, proved to be the most productive caves. One of the most significant discoveries was a well-preserved scroll of the entire book of Isaiah.

The famous Copper Scrolls were discovered in Cave 3 in 1952. Unlike most of the scrolls that were written on leather or parchment, these were written on copper . . ."

What are the Fucking odds that this copper scroll, the book of Issah, reads today as it did then, 2,000 year-ago?
Now, when you take your head out of your ass, you think about that!! :lol:

it doesn't though...current ones mostly read in an entirely different language...there are....troubles in translations...

then again...it damn well better read the same as it did 2000 years ago, or there would be questions
texts chiseled in metal shouldn't spontaneously change after it's hammered in given any span of time really...

oh!
...unless a god or something decided to make a few editorial sweeps at it anyhow....
