Do you believe that the earth rotates on its axis and also rotates
around the sun? Or do you believe the Bible, which says (in several
places) that the earth is 'immovable'?

What do I believe? I believe the Bible,

You do realize that is the same as saying "I believe in the tales of
Hans Christian Anderson?

but I do not
accept what you are saying as being the correct
understanding of what the Bible says. It says that the
earth is immoveable, true, but immoveable in what
respect?

immovable (also immoveable)
n adjective not able to be moved or changed.

DERIVATIVES
immovability noun
immovably adverb


It probably is referring to being immoveable
in it's course, or orbit, since it is fixed in an orbit.

If it is in orbit then it is NOT immovable - it moves.

I do not think that it is saying that the earth is
cemented in space and never moves.

So you disagree with your book of fairy tales?

There are
several things in the Bible that indicates that it does
turn, one being the Creation account that says that
God created light an divided it from the darkness
(Gen. 1:4). It then says that the evening and the
morning were the first day. The words "evening"
and "morning" indicate a passage through the
darkness and the light because the word for
morning indicates a break of day, or a return
to a former place. If light and darkness were
in a straight line, and the earth passed by them,
it would not be returning to a former position.

You see, this is one of the problems that people like you have. For
thousands of years the words clearly meant one thing. Now, because
science has proven them wrong you try to say "Oh, but, you see, it
didn't mean that after all..."

Sorry, no deal. You bible story is totally busted.

"Boqer" in Hebrew means "break of day."
"E-reb" in Hebrew means evening. I've wondered
if the "reb" syllable is kin to the "rev" in the
English "revolve" or "revolution." I can't prove
it by the modern etymology I don't think.

You really are stupid to even try and pretend you understand English,
let alone Hebrew.


Nevertheless, I think the fact that the earth starts
in the light, passes through dark, then returns to
light (as in break of day - boqer), that it refers to
the earth turning one revolution.

Look dimwit - you bible says the Earth is flat, that it is fixed in
place and never moves. So stop trying to lie for jesus - it will not
work.

As for whether the sun revolves around the earth...
certainly not in the way the flat-earthers claim.
But above us as we chase after the sun in order to
orbit it, the sun is also in it's own orbit. A single
revolution around the galaxy that it makes, which
would be it's own sun year, takes up 250 million
of our years. What it is revolving around is the
center of the galaxy. Curiously the sun is mentioned
in the Bible as having an orbit, or revolution within
the heavens:
Psalm 19:6:
"From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And
his revolution [is] unto their ends; And nothing is hid
from his heat." YLT
"His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his
circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from
the heat thereof." KJV
(This is Psalm has a preserved superscription that says
it is a Psalm of David.)

You ask do I think the earth turns on it's axis? I do.
The axis is the imaginary line that if drawn through
the earth, reaches from the North Pole to the South
Pole. The earth, of course has true north, and true
south, but then it also has the magnetic north and
the magnetic south, both of which move around
somewhat in the arctic circle. Yet the axis being
tilted some few degrees causes our seasons. And
does this conflict with the earth's also being
immoveable? The earth does not move from it's
orbit.

Sorry, but you cannot escape the written word of primitive man.
