At that time there was no concept of planet Earth, so the writer(s) of Genesis wouldn't record it as such. There's another debate about this in another thread ("Was the flood literal" or something like that). This would be a better place for the discussion so as not to hijack this thread any further. But I was just pointing out the argument to answer your question. Well you know Job and his friends knew the earth was circular and that is the oldest book in the bible...

There is a HUGE difference between circular and spherical. There is absolutely no indication in the text, or context, that Job knew the earth was a round sphere.

Might I remind you Pauls words 2 Timothy 2:14 Remind everyone about these things, and command them in God's presence to stop fighting over words. Such arguments are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them. As for what the Bible says about the Earth.. read for yourself.. Isaiah 40:22 (New American Standard Bible) 22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. Job 26:10 (New American Standard Bible) 10 "He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters At the boundary of light and darkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest man Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 These 2 statements are very telling. At that time there was no concept of planet Earth, so the writer(s) of Genesis wouldn't record it as such. There is absolutely no indication in the text, or context, that Job knew the earth was a round sphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
