Flattening out the Facts
A few nights ago I was in an argument with a friend that has given up inerrancy to force a Flat Earth cosmology into the text. He assumes a universal background continued into the early church and sticks to his talking points. I just deny the existence of any universal agreement on anything. He ignores evidence to the contrary and acts as if those ANE worldviews have no political reasons. Jason Engwer has done a masterful job in showing this is naive. He was responding to John Loftus and it shows liberals and atheist feed off each other. The liberal … Continue reading Flattening out the Facts

The idea that it is the universal background of the OT that the world was Flat and had a metal dome isn’t universally accepted.

Journey to the center of the Flat Earth
It is a time of great liberalism we find more and more scholars maintaining positions that undermine the Biblical writers. It comes in the idea of open theism, denials of inerrancy, polytheism, and the Flat Earth. It is good not all have gone that route such as Dr. Vern Poythress and others. Dr. Poythress wrote in his book Inerrancy and Worldview on pages 39-41 this: An Alleged Three-Decker Universe? Similar principles help us to understand the passages where the Bible makes a tripartite distinction in spatial regions. Exodus 20:4, for example, says, “You shall not make for yourself a carved … Continue reading Journey to the center of the Flat Earth
