I (thought about) leaving for a while.

Lupac:
I wasn't going to post this, but I'm tired of being unsure. (Although, it probably won't be long before something else gets me... WHAT is wrong with me?) Thank you Jerreye. Here's what got me thinking about it.

Supposedly, this is what the Hebrews, all the way back to Moses, believed the earth was like. It's part of a longer article I won't post. (I feel like a complete failure.)

jerreye:
Hey Lupac,

I wouldn't put so much emphasis on what some of the ancient Hebrews may or may not have believed. What they may or may not have believed doesn't prove anything. Most of them did not believe God. Even though God miraculously led them out of Egypt, they still fell in disbelief and wandered in the desert for 40 years. All this proves is that they did not believe God. So if God flat-out told them that the earth was round, they would probably not believe it!

Cheers,
Jeremy

Lupac:
I'm going to bed now, but I think the point was, if we take Genesis 1 literally. That's what it describes. I'm not defending the wrong view, just trying to find the truth.

lauriellen:
i am quoting something i read just last night:

"So it also is with the Lord as the written Word. As we need it and can receive it, God will reveal it to us (Mat 11:27).
The degree of understanding given by God seems to correlate with the degree of need and hunger in the individual. "My strength is made perfect in weakness. (2Cor 12:9)."

this really hit home for me....hope it helps you, too.
