Think of the word circle as a verb...The earth turns in a circle.. The word circle in the Hebrew also means compass,and circuit.

Circuit also as a verb.move all the way around (a place or thing).

As the earth does around the sun.

Compass verb

1.

go around (something) in a circular course.

As we know the earth does.

Perhaps the word never implied the shape at all.

All good - God Bless!

Well God bless you abundantly Chris - whether pillars or a foundation, On a spinning ball Earth model - Neither can be possible . in fact as you said a house, or I say this tent (with a firmament over it) the Lord has provide for us us to dwell in - Must have a foundation

Psalm 61 is just one of the many places the earth is referred to as having ends or corners - In all the years I have lived on this Earth - I have never seen a ball with ends or corners!!

Even the controlled media gets all confused trying to keep the lie - I ask you this - How many times have you heard the expression " We bring you news from all corners of the GLOBE" rather a strange statement - Don't you think?

Anyhow mate - "Let God be true and every man a liar"

Earths cosmology has nothing to do with salvation - BUT! Everything to do with DECEPTION

Once again Chris - May the lord God almighty bless you and your family abundantly

I only reply to comments once, as I find it fruitless volleying emails back and forth - Lets both pray for revelation of the truth from the builder himself - Flick him a prayerful email in the Spirit and see what his reply is - I'm 100% happy with my answers

Mitchell Wright's comment on 2020-06-02 03:50:15:

That is a metaphore for the foundation of the world. The bible talks about paths in the seas in psalms 8, and really that is talking about ocean currents. Pillars of Creation are also mentioned and you dont see those either.

This is the truth.

Peter Grant Budgewoi Australia's comment on 2020-06-02 02:44:42:

Well I'm LLLLLOL - it does't change a thing my friend - But It means you disbelieve Gods word and how he created this wonderful flat plain with a dome (firmament) we live on -

Oh! by the way a circle is not a ball - I Won't reply to you after this - your reasoning is too narrow - And you try to convince me I'm in error with only 1 verse of scripture that is incorrect - I can give you over 200 that disprove your beloved spinning ball theory -May God Bless you abundantly Sir!!

Chris's comment on 2020-06-01 21:34:34:

Peter, clearly the word 'pillars' in 1 Sam 2:8 should be understood as 'foundations', just as a house that is supported on pillars firmly attached to its foundations. It can't be understood as literal pillars - it wouldn't make any sense. Therefore, the foundations are not literal but speak about all that God had decreed & purposed for mankind (see previous verses).

bob Hilt's comment on 2020-06-01 17:36:04:

Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE circle of the EARTH earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE circle of the EARTH earth,...SO IS THE EARTH A PANCAKE?

So believe in Jesus and the flat earth and thou shalt be saved? really?

How does believing in a flat earth edify the Lord or change anything?

is the moon and the sun flat also?

Peter Grant Budgewoi Australia's comment on 2020-06-01 15:36:05:

For the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.

May I ask - a simple question?

"HOW CAN A SPINNING BALL EARTH BE SET UPON PILLARS??"

Let God be true and every man a liar (Rom 3:4)
