True history in the bible
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bible scientific proof: JOB 26:7 He strecthed out the north over the empty place(space),and hangeth the earth upon nothing(space). a.North extends to space. b.Earth is in space. ECCLEASTES 1:6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turn about( round earth) the north, it whirled about continually,the wind return again according to his circuit. a. if wind continually goes south direction ,it could reach to north. 6 The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. ISAIAH 40:22 It is he that sittethin the cirlce of the earth. a.Means round shape earth. PSALM 103:12 As far as the east is from the west. a.means earth is round. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. JOB 28:10 He cutteth river among the rock. ECCLEASTES 1:7 River runs into the sea,unto the place from whence river come,they return again a.Water cycle 7 All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again. Real history Noah's flood(1556 years after ceation) 1.Polystrate fossil http://www.creationresearch.org/crsq...te_fossils.htm http://yecheadquarters.org/shame.34.html 2.Marine fossils above mountains http://www.answersingenesis.org/arti...-sea-creatures 3.Grand Canyon http://www.yecheadquarters.org/noah_flood.2.html Oldest Things Alive Today are around 4200 years old (http://www.creationevidence.net/evbiology.shtml) • The oldest living coral reef is less than 4200 years old. • The oldest living tree in the world is about 4300 years old. • The current population of earth (5.5 billion souls) could easily be generated from eight People (survivors of the Flood) in less than 4000 years. http://ldolphin.org/popul.html http://www.answersingenesis.org/crea.../i3/people.asp Conclusion: Oldest living things support the account of Noah's flood which happened 4,400 years ago. Scientific dating is not so accurate maybe the oldest tree and oldest coral reefs was grow in the date after the flood in the same time. "And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one [was] Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name [was] Joktan." (Genesis 10:25 KJV) Earth was divided into: 1. Continents and islands • Western Africa and eastern South America coastline seemed to be match. 2. Languages • Tower of Babel 3.Race •Also in peleg's days races were begin to divide. •It explain how natives or aborignes came to different islands and continents. Earth Division (was happened in Peleg's days 101 years after the flood). Supposed theory of how earth divides: • Rising of sea level, which causes all lower areas connecting between continents to covered by sea. http://www.kjvbible.org/peleg.html 1. From Siberia to Alaska. 2. Malaysia to Australia to Antarctica • A sudden continental drift of a single land into continents and islands. 1. Rocks in Brazil and Congo are likely the same. 2. Glossopteris fern found in both Australia and India 3. diadectid insect found in Europe and N. america. 4. Lystrosaurus,a tropical reptile, found in africa,india,china and antarctica. 5. Rafflesia flower in Borneo and philippines. 6. E. South America and W Africa coastlines seemed to be match. 7. Frozen mammoth with undigested buttercup flower in their stomach, it seems that Siberia before was near in the tropical region and sudden movement of continents brought Siberia from tropical to polar region that made them frost alive. 8. From one origin all concepts like gods,dragons,unicorns,Heaven and hell were being practice of different civilization in every continents. Similarities tell that all these things came from one origin Unicorns The unicorn is also mentioned in Deuteronomy 33:17, Numbers 23:22 and 24:8; Psalm 22:21, 29:6 and 92:10; and Isaiah 34:7. Unicorn (‘one horn’) stories have been told in many parts of the world, including Syria, China, India, ancient Greece and medieval Europe. Dragons Dragonsare mentioned in the bible( http://dragonsinn.net/bible-1.htm )Whether you live in Cambodia or Scotland, Lithuania or America, you have probably heard of dragons. The eastern dragon, sometimes called Lung (in China) or Long (in Vietnam), may almost seem like a completely different creature than the Western Dragon. Flood stories around the world support The Great Flood http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/flood-myths.html There are over 500 storied of flood around the world.These flood stories are frequently linked by common elements that parallel the Biblical account including the warning of the coming flood, the construction of a boat in advance, the storage of animals, the inclusion of family, and the release of birds to determine if the water level had subsided. The overwhelming consistency among flood stories found in distant parts of the globe indicates they were derived from the same origin. 1) How could people from all around the world even think up a global flood and why would they need to? 2) How could the basic story parts as explained in the Bible be part of the global flood stories from all around the world? 3) How could most of these races who worship other Gods even know of the story of the global flood? Unless at one time they all worship the same God as explained in the Bible. 4) Without a Bible, what could they base their story on? e I have to add more.. Giants stories There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. Genesis 6:4 we have our local version of giants stories here in philippines but around the world we could here these stories. http://www.authorsden.com/visit/view......15&id=18794 tree of knowledge In the Book of Genesis, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (and occasionally translated as the Tree of Conscience, Hebrew עֵץ הַדַּעַת טוֹב וָרָע) was a tree in the middle of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:9) from which God directly forbade Adam (Eve having not yet been created) to eat (Genesis 2:17). A serpent later tempted Eve, who was aware of the prohibition, to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge (Genesis 1.To steal the apples of knowledge, the Greek hero Hercules had to slay a many-headed dragon Ladon. 2.In Mayan legends, it is a serpent in the roots that must be contended with. Similarly, the Naga, or divine serpent guards the Hindu Tree. 9. Antarctica connects India, It is possible for Antarctica before the earth divided was already in a lower latitude in order for the dolphin and polar life to survived. Why there are Sea mountains and flat plains? Flat plains was also form by the mud flow of the great flood JOb 9: 5 He removes the mountains, and they do not know When He overturns them in His anger; 6 He shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble; The ashen remains of Sodom & Gomorrah HAVE BEEN FOUND!!! http://www.pinkoski.com/content/view/20/35/ PSALM 104,(King James Version) ascertained the fact and events which I wrote above. 6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. The great flood. 26There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. 29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. This is the reason why leviathan died and other serpent.And the fossils we found in the dust were from them like dinosaurs. 30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. It is clear that God really change the face of the earth. 32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. The reason why we cannot see tree above the hills. |

The 'north' in this verse is the sky. The dome over the flat earth spread as a mud pie across the water below, keeping the waters above out of our living space. Kind of an inside-out snowglobe. The dome stretches up and hangs upon nothing, floating in the chaos of water, water, everywhere. Quote:
Round like a pancake is not the same as round like a ball. The circle for the earth's shape is not that of a sphere. The same passage describes Earth's sky as a tent. tent walls touch the ground. On a sphere, the sky doesn't. The bible also describes the sky as being a solid thing that God walks upon. The clouds are solid devices that would break under the strain of holding rainwater UNLESS god kept them up in the air and whole. Science has shown us, though, that clouds are actually made up of the rainwater they 'hold.' There's no advanced sciences in the Bible. Sorry. |

Please have a wisdom.
How often does one describe a globe as 'stretched?' North is a direction,and not a place.He strecthed an imaginary north into space. The 'north' in this verse is the sky. so I will go to north,like that or do to the south, the deep. No it's not. The dome over the flat earth spread as a mud pie across the water below, keeping the waters above out of our living space nothing is water? What a great man is the author who makes the water to be nothing. The circle for the earth's shape is not that of a sphere. The same passage describes Earth's sky as a tent. tent walls touch the ground. On a sphere, the sky doesn't. Circle,why the author should put cirle than plane. Earth varies in meaning,sometimes it differ from world,and islands. It may soil,continent,planet. The bible also describes the sky as being a solid thing that God walks upon. It spiritually says.YOU wont understand it. The clouds are solid devices that would break under the strain of holding rainwater UNLESS god kept them up in the air and whole. Science has shown us, though, that clouds are actually made up of the rainwater they 'hold.' Job knows that clouds are water.Read it. He also knows water cycle. |

Every description in The Books fits neatly with authors that felt that the Earth was flat. Spread out across the waters like a mud pie. If you go high enough, you can see every land. The winds only get as far as the edge of the dome, then turn around to go back to the north. The sun, moon and stars run around INSIDE the dome of the sky. Stars that fall to earth are small enough that they don't burn up the whole globe. |

So, the imaginary north is now to be compared to the real compass north? Handy.
Interestingly,chinese invent compass 2000 BC.How knowledge of man done it without explaination from the higher being.Chinese maybe the original people of the world before the earth division. So yes. .Hang something on water. Show me a painting held up by a hook in water, you might have a point. Water doesn't hold things up. But if you're going to hold Job up to scientific scrutiny, that's still in the same book as Genesis, which describes the way god made everything. Synonys of place,more exaggeration and Bible translation. Better question, why didn't the author use ball, globe or sphere instead of circle? Circles are flat. Circles is a synonym of sphere at that time.Why because they have no more representation of sphere than circle. The winds only get as far as the edge of the dome, then turn around to go back to the north. Can a wind goes down deep below the earth,?and goes up? So you make South a place now? |

1) circle, circuit, compass 2) (BDB) vault (of the heavens) All of the examples in #1 are flat circles rather than spheres and #2 is clearly a problem for you. Quote:
East and west are only far apart on a flat plain. They are part of a single continuum on a sphere. |

You can also sit in the center of a circle or round surface while at the same time it is still flat.
What the connection ? What's that round or circle surface? A CD is also round and also flat. Does the bible mention anything about the earth being spherical? OF course not. I wrongly post round,its rather a sphere. CD,common sense. We need wisdom to have understanding,seek it.You can do it?Many are hypocrite but few have wisdom. |

The 'compass of the earth,' though, refers to the device for drawing circles on a sheet of paper. Ever play with compasses in Geometry? Either way, this is still a reference to a flat surface. Quote:

Frankly, i think you mislabled this thread. It's not the Bible where the Truth can be found. it's in the reader. You know that your planet is a sphere, and you want the Books to be perfect, so you find sphere in the text. Not hard, as long as you ignore or shift problematic verses to spiritual, metaphor, synonys [sic] or poetic references. But the thread should be titled: Biblical Non-literalists can shoehorn truth into ancient passages. |
