With half of her he made a roof; he fixed the earth.[7]" https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/thetorah-9427d.appspot.com/o/my-encounter-with-the-firmament%2Fnull?alt=media&token=6c1f1ddb-eea4-4d5d-9d78-49a6af4f822b https://www.thetorah.com/article/my-encounter-with-the-firmament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aristotle (384–322 BC) provided evidence for the spherical shape of the earth on empirical grounds by around 330 BC. The Hellenistic world generally acknowledged that the earth was spherical in shape.[6] Randall Younker and Richard Davidson study the primary and secondary sources related to the Babylonian, Greek and Jewish literature and conclude that none of these ancient peoples believed in a flat earth with a solid dome or vault.[7] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This image of the warrior god riding a chariot into battle is an ancient one, antedating the Bible in Canaanite mythology, where Baal is given the frequent epiphet 'ride on the clouds.'"[2] In fact, "Baal was the god of the thunderstorm in the Ugaritic pantheon. His cloud riding was appropriate to his function."[3]" https://thetruth-blog.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-cloud-rider-and-biblical-imagery.html Psalm 68:4, “Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before him – his name is the LORD.” Seven years Baʿlu is lacking, eight, the Rider of the Clouds. No dew, no showers, no dilation from the deep, no goodly voice of Baʿlu.

This, however, is not the case for every bit of text in the best-selling book of all time. In fact, some of these verses have been proven by science to be true. Intrigued?

Imagine the great faith believers in centuries past had before there were many proofs of the christian faith. It's astounding to me that so much of the bible has been proven beyond doubt, and yet, millions still choose to reject it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterall God is not a liar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
