    Strengthening families through biblical principles.

    Focus on the Family addresses the use of biblical principles in parenting and marriage to strengthen the family.

The Earth is round- Bible never said it was flat anyways: "He is seated upon the circle (heb:חוּג, chug- which means 'sphere') of the earth..." Isaiah 40:22
and "He has drawn a circle on the waters at the boundary where the day and night come together." Job 26:10

If chuwg (Strong's H2328 and H2329) means "sphere," why does nearly every translation render it as "circle"? What are you using for a lexicon to come to this meaning?

For Isa. 40:22 http://www.biblestudytools.com/lexicons/hebrew/nas/chuwg-2.html

For Job 26:10 http://www.biblestudytools.com/lexicons/hebrew/nas/chuwg.html

It seems to very much mean "circle," but it doesn't really matter since the Bible doesn't say whether the earth is flat or round.
 
Let's see, Reba...Reba...Reba...hmm
Erba...
Aber...
Oh, here it is...Bear!
Reba stands for bear.
But in my subconscious, I think of beer.
Why do you do that?

Go ahead, try and do something with Rollo.:clown

You used reba's full user name, so I'll use yours.

Lo, salami rot

I've been lurkin' for a long time, but I can't pass this one up.

How do we convince people Jesus is alive???

Just ask the people that knew me as a rank pagan, before I was born again, before a blood stained cross brought me to my knees, unimaginable love won my heart, amazing grace transformed this wretch, peace and joy flooded into my inner being, ...and how do I know Jesus is alive, ...He lives, He lives, He lives inside of me!!! Romans 1:17

Blessings

Thank you reba, I joined many moons ago, but have been real busy at work and not much 'puter time.

I used to try and over theoligize people with my wisdom, the Lord showed me to stop and just show them by my life, how Jesus is alive inside of me, and uses my body to show His love to the lost and needy, ...I have come to see and learn that is true evangelism, rubbing elbows with the people just like my Lord did when He walked this round planet, it causes them to ask the question, why are you so different from those others Christians that go to such and such church? That way we have prepared the ground (heart) to receive the seed (Word)

When I was a rank pagan I could spot hypocrisy way before those in the church did, ...a truth/reality that many believers today need to take to heart.

Blessings
 
I know we're not supposed to espouse different religions here, but I think the earth is a big smilie that we all live on and when it's your turn to die it opens it's mouth and you fall in and die. If you're interested, I go to the 'Fruits of the Spirit' church (www.totallyfruity.com) and we meet every Sunday at 10:30. :)

Now, where did I leave my meds...
 
Imagine the Earth is not only flat but square.
And it is spinning so fast that it gives the appearance of being round.
And if you look at it, it doesn't appear to move at all because you yourself are spinning even faster.
Look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls.
