A biblical portrait of geo centricity

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 

 job 26:
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place,
and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

 1chrin,30 Fear before him, all the earth:
the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
psalm 93:
The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty;
the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself:
the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

Genesis 1:
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.


 Eclessiastes 1:
The wind goeth toward the south,
and turneth about unto the north;
it whirleth about continually,
and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.

judges 5:
20 They fought from heaven;
the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
 Job 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades,
or loose the bands of Orion?
32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?
or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven?

psalm 19:
Their line is gone out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

His going forth is from the end of the heaven,
and his circuit unto the ends of it:
and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
Ecclesiastes 1:
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down,
and hasteth to his place where he arose.

 psalm 104:He appointed the moon for seasons:
the sun knoweth his going down.

joshua 10:
11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
12 Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. 13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

Is this post intended to be a demonstration of eisegesis? How exactly do any of these Scripture references build a case for geo centricity?

Pastor Matt Singleton said...

The bible teaches that the sun and the stars are moving and that the earth is not moving. The there absolutely no verse in scripture which teaches that the earth is spin and circling the sun. To claim that there is any form of eisegeses in admitting this truth is moronic and the Whole of Christendom including John Calvin and martin luther was unanimous in condemning eisegesis of the modern science movement starting with Robert Boyle.

You said, "the Bible teaches that the sun and the stars are moving and that the earth is not moving." This claim needs chapter and verse reference(s) to be validated. Where does the Bible state that the earth is not spinning and revolving around the sun?

Or please show how the citations previously given validate the claim that the earth is not spinning and revolving around the sun.
