also wtf is with them saying the earth has pillars then hmmm?
"He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. (From the NIV Bible, Job 9:6)"
It looks like it means earthquake; though in the context of the passage it looks like the meaning is that God is powerful.
Then Job answered,
2"In truth I know that this is so;
But how can a (A)man be in the right before God?
3"If one wished to (B)dispute with Him,
He could not answer Him once in a thousand times.
4"(C)Wise in heart and (D)mighty in strength,
Who has (E)defied Him without harm?
5"(F)It is God who removes the mountains, they know not how,
When He overturns them in His anger;
6Who (G)shakes the earth out of its place,
And its (H)pillars tremble;
7Who commands the (I)sun not to shine,
And sets a seal upon the stars;
8Who alone (J)stretches out the heavens
And (K)tramples down the waves of the sea;
9Who makes the (L)Bear, Orion and the Pleiades,
And the (M)chambers of the south;
"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. (From the NIV Bible, Job 38:4)"
Laid the Earth's foundation = created the Earth; that itself is a pretty straightforward idea.
a circle is flat so he is still wrong
and here it says the earth has edges?
"that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it? (From the NIV Bible, Job 38:13)"
I need
you to reconcile the fact that the Earth is both a square and a circle because
only you are reading this word for word literally. You're reading it as
no Christians do. Once you can disprove a world full of mathematicians into saying a circle has edges and is a square, I'll be able to read these two passages as talking about geometric shapes. Go for it.
Grab the earth and shake out the wicked? Both figurative actions - grabbing the Earth and shaking sinners out. Net result is removing sinners from the world.
Job 38:44 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?
if he thought it the earth was a globe then he would of said stretch a line around it
Minute translation things; for example if you look at the Catholic version of the Bible this passage states: "Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the line on it?"
Any reasonable person should be able to very easily see that the passage is just talking about creating the Earth - the little detail like across, on, or around are meaningless translation issues and it is salvation, the big picture, that counts.
I guess The word "circle" in Hebrew is translated in a variety of ways .
Adding to this @ little-cheez, the Hebrew word for circle can also mean sphere. Regardless, I want you, little-cheez, to show me support for your interpretation that these passages are talking about geometric shapes.
