Ricky Gervias on Religion. Is there anything here you disagree with?

[Marsh.]

What would it matter what my interpretation is?

Because you brought it into a DISCUSSION thread so pardon me for attempting to discuss it to no avail.

In simple terms. You said this...

No I like things very clear and logical, if it was proven in the 6 century BC then why is it suggested in the bible the earth is flat?

And I'm simply asking where you are getting this suggestion from?

But you've just dodged the very simple question for about 2 or 3 pages stopping the actual discussion from moving forwards.

Here then... here's some.. chew on these.

The Shape of the Earth

Disregarding the dome, the essential flatness of the earth's surface is required by verses like Daniel 4:10-11. In Daniel, the king “saw a tree of great height at the centre of the earth...reaching with its top to the sky and visible to the earth's farthest bounds.” If the earth were flat, a sufficiently tall tree would be visible to “the earth's farthest bounds,” but this is impossible on a spherical earth. Likewise, in describing the temptation of Jesus by Satan, Matthew 4:8 says, “Once again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world [cosmos] in their glory.” Obviously, this would be possible only if the earth were flat. The same is true of Revelation 1:7: “Behold, he is coming with the clouds! Every eye shall see him...”

So the reason for your own opinion on that is due to the link provided?

Ok. I'll give it a read. Cheers.
