Most of us learned astronomy in the 7th and 8th grades in Junior High School. But, why then? When I look back, I now know the answer to that question. Think about it, we were told a bunch of huge numbers with regard to the rotation of the earth and distance to the sun and the moon; that we weren’t alone in the universe and that we were just one of many universes. At that time, you, like me, probably just memorized that information in order to pass the tests and go on to the next thing, without giving the subject a second thought.
Until now. Now, I’m in my fifties and by the grace of YAHWEH, I can still think critically. So, if we are in a moving car with the windows open and the wind blows through our hair and the car, both move automatically. But, IF we are standing still, and a wind of thousands of miles per hour due to the rotation of the earth doesn’t knock us over and sends us across the world, then why? Really? That’s why we were indoctrinated at such a young age, so that we wouldn’t even question the narrative, let alone what we were taught.
However, as a Christian, I want you to keep an open mind and think about this: The Genesis narrative, as well as many of the other books of the Bible, state that the earth is established and unmovable, and that YAHWEH established a Geocentric Universe which makes us special! All of this is the opposite of the Jesuit Counter-Reformation Heliocentric Universe theory, in which the sun is the center of the universe, and that we are not special in any way, shape, or form.
So, which one is true: YAHWEH’S Geocentric Universe OR the Jesuit Counter-Reformation Heliocentric Universe?
But, before we start, please remember what Proverbs 18:13 says: He who answereth a matter before he heareth it, exposeth his folly and incurreth contempt.
According to Charles Johnson, The whole point of the Copernican theory is to get rid of Jesus by saying that there is no up and no down, the spinning ball thing just makes the whole Bible a big joke. Well, let us find out what the Bible has to say about this subject…
I will be using the Greek Old and New Testament Bible, an Aramaic Bible, a Hebrew Bible, and two English Bibles. All of the Scriptures are taken from Charles Thomson’s The Greek Septuagint Bible of the Old Testament (CTS)[1], Charles Thomson’s New Testament Translated from the Greek (CTNT)[2], The Holy Bible from the Ancient Eastern Text – George Lamsa’s Translation from the Aramaic of the Peshitta (ARAMAIC)[3], The Cepher, which is a Hebrew Bible (CEPHER)[4], The King James Version (KJV)[5], and The New American Standard Version (NASB)[6], and the Scriptures below are arranged by topics, with the Book of Job being placed before Genesis, as most scholars believe it to be the oldest book of the Bible. This is by no means an exhaustive list of Scripture.
