Too bad this fellow didn't have a Jewish Hebrew dictionary entry that shows the infallible scripture correctly mentioned the Earth is a sphere.  There is a lot of things mentioned in the Bible like the spherical shape of the world that those writers just could not have known from their vantage point without being told from someone who knows, like God.

 

Maybe you should send that to Dr. Michael Heiser.  I'm sure he would be interested.

I am not sure what you mean.  Are you suggesting that he believes the world is flat?

Just searching on the gentleman's name brings up suggestions of false doctrines, but I don't know the man or his work.

I guess you don't read my posts carefully.   Michael has a doctorate degree in Hebrew and several other degrees in languages and comparative religions. (He's a really smart dude.)   He has shown where and how the Bible seems to say that the earth is flat, and explains that it does so because that was the general cosmology at the time the Bible was pinned.  It uses words and phrases that people would understand to make a point.   But the points the Bible makes in those times is not a science book.   Describing things in visions.    But no he does not believe the earth is flat, just that a person can get that idea from the Bible if it's taken literally.

Most of the negative things I have read about him concerned who the old testament sons of God are.   If you believe they are humans in Israel and/or sons of Seth, instead of Angels and other places the heavenly council, then you would consider us as heretics.

Someone once said that we get into trouble when practicing apologetics and try to make the Bible something that it isn't.

You wrote me two sentences, friend.  What did I miss that I should have read more carefully?

The first rule of hermeneutics is to read the Bible literally.  Context will show when to read figurative passages, and there are symbolic things in prophecy, but literal is the way to go.

I have not investigated Dr. Michael Heiser's work, I just commented about the fact that false doctrines are immediately mentioned when you search on his name.

If Earth weren't flat, wouldn't the oceans spill off the side? I mean, have you ever tried to pour water on a sphere?

Joking aside, how cool is it that we live on a magnetic ball in a universe where everything in existence has magnetic properties, to a stronger or lesser degree.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
