Ch1-Scripture
These are a few of the many scriptures showing that the Bible is geocentric.
ECCLESIASTES 1:4-7
4 One generation passeth away...cometh, but the earth abideth for ever.
5 The sun also ariseth...goeth down
6 The wind goeth...returneth
7 All the rivers run...return again.
We are to take things in context. We know the generations, wind and rivers actually move, so the sun also literally, physically moves being carried daily around the earth by the rotating firmament. The earth absolutely is not rotating.
The Bible is openly geocentric. Genesis 15:12,17 says, “And when the sun was going down” and “when the sun went down.” Psalms 104:19 says, “the sun knoweth his going down.”
PSALMS 50:1 “The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.” The earth and the sun are both mentioned together in this verse and it is the sun that is moving in relationship to a stationary non-spinning earth.
SON AND SUN
Malachi 4:2 says, "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings. "If the Sun doesn't really move (rise), then the Son hasn't risen. Judges 9:33 says, "...as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city..." 'Rise' means to physically move. Every jot or letter is important (Matt. 5:18). God is saying that the sun revolves daily around the earth.
SWORD OF THE SPIRIT
Rom. 9:17 says, "For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth." This verse is quoting Ex.9:16, which God himself personally said, "And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth." This means that 'Scripture saith' is synonymous with 'God saith'. They can be used interchangeably. All the trustworthiness of God Himself rests upon the written Word of scripture. Daniel 10:21 says, "But I will show thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth...." God's written word is the scripture of truth.
John 12:48 says, "...the word that I (Christ) have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." Our reward may be damaged by verses that we have bypassed.
EYESALVE
Rev. 3:18 is directed toward the Laodicea, lukewarm church and says, “…annoit thine eyes, with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.” This is not written to those outside the church, but to those inside. The point is for Christians to use and apply all scripture, every phrase and every word. Colossians 2:1, 2 says, “…for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh…and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ.” To know the truth, see accurately, we must understand every word. Those outside the church depend on we in the church, we christians to have the complete truth.
DAMAGE
The world, by promoting the fact(?) that the earth spins daily, only wanted to embarrass the Bible when they claimed that heliocentrism was true. The unsaved could then do what they want to do with no fear of punishment. The unbelievers, being lost anyway, have no investment in the Bible. If it turns out that they are wrong, the world will not care.
The church has a huge investment in heliocentrism, because it contradicts many verses and takes away authority from God's word. If heliocentrism turns out to be false (and it is nothing more than which ball is going around the other), we could lose part of our reward in heaven.
PERILOUS
The word ‘perilous’ is used only in 11 Timothy 3:1, which says, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” Perilous?! What could be more perilous in the New Testament than past events in the Old Testament? It must be something that is spiritual rather than physical. Mankind caused perilous times with his denial (without proof) of geocentricity in the 16th century. In the eyes of the world, the Bible now has a scientific error, and has lost its authority!
“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness” (James 1:21). Superfluity means oversupply. There is now an oversupply of evil. Either God deceived mankind for the first 5600 years or Satan has deceived everyone for the last 400 years.
Romans 14:1 says, "Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations." What could be more doubtful than the geocentricity- heliocentrism debate? It has already been changed once with no proof. Obviously, the sun comes up each day whether the sun orbits the earth or the earth spins. "But foolish and unlearned questions avoid" (2 Tim 2:23).
