Grumpy Owl Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 19 minutes ago, zArk said: to be clear the Bible is a collection of works from a few sources it is split into 2 main sections, the new testament and the old testament the old testament can easily be cross-referenced with the hebrew version i think the firmament is mentioned in daniel, psalms, genesis etc which is the hebrew bible https://brandplucked.webs.com/genesis16firmament.htm Quote The Hebrew word raqia is translated into the Greek word stereoma, which connotes a solid structure. Apparently, the translators of the Septuagint were influenced by the Egyptian view of cosmology, which embraced the notion of the heavens being a stone vault. This in turn was translated into English. Firmament poses the problem that the ancient Hebrews believed in a solid dome with the stars embedded in the dome which reflects erroneous cosmology, therefore making the Bible not the inspired Word of God. So what does the Hebrew word mean? The Hebrew noun raqia is derived from the verb raqa, which means "to spread abroad, stamp or stretch" Genesis 1:6-9, NASB says "Then God said, Let there be and EXPANSE in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." So other versions of the Bible translates raqia as "expanse". (End of Bible corrector's comments) First of all, it is more than a little silly to say that the word "firmament" is found in the King James Bible because the ancient Hebrews believed there was a solid dome. Is this why so many modern versions as well still use the word "firmament"? Were they also of the opinion that the expanse of the heavens is solid? Maybe the problem lies more with this bible agnostic's faulty definition of the word "firmament", than with the King James Bible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So other versions of the Bible translates raqia as "expanse". (End of Bible corrector's comments) Let there be and expanse??? We know that vowels are a minefield for translation רָקִיעַ is that raqia? Not rakiah? The Hebrew noun raqia is derived from the verb raqa Erm that's the problem with jumping headfirst into the waters it can lead to bad assumptions Surely when going to the Hebrew it is vital to get the context of the sentence and not focus upon one word as the determinist. King James used Aramaic and Hebrew and is considered the conservative Bible Here's translations of genesis 1:6 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.biblestudytools.com/genesis/1-6-compare.html%3famp So the query is does the word expanse fit in the sentence and other quotes or does the word firmament or barrier ? N.b genesis is creation and does tend to lean a bit upon the earth and sky being created by God.

BC I have now https://brandplucked.webs.com/genesis16firmament.htm At the end of the article, it reads; Don't let the Bible Agnostics fool you with their "deep insights" and personal opinions as they go about trying to "correct" what God got right. Where by it should read; Don't let the NASA Agnostics fool you with their "deep insights" and personal opinions as they go about trying to "correct" what God got right. Having read the article I reckon they've done a good job at hiding the fact that there is solid Dome above us, let me explain why God says there is a solid Dome over our heads. In the beginning God created the heavens, if you notice God says 'heavens' which is plural. In fact there are three heavens. The first being where we have the sky, clouds etc, where by the birds fly around. The second being the firmament (solid) where the sun and the moon plus the stars move in concession. The third heaven is where the waters are and where God's throne is. It has to be solid to hold all the waters up. I'm sorry but I believe God's word over man's any-day. Or Maybe we all live in a bubble? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2140450/The-Earth-trapped-bubble-scientists-explain-galactic-neighbourhood.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the questions you have to ask yourself, why don't we feel the earth move ? How does water stay on a spinning ball? etc, etc........... We don't feel the Earth move because it isn't accelerating. It's actually spinning really slowly for its size and gravity holds the water in place. The way it works is there is a centre of mass and objects, including water are naturally pulled towards it. It's why when you drop something it always falls down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
