![]() ![]() (1) Raqiya means that which is fixed and steadfast, rather than that which is solid. the firmament or (apparently) visible arch of the sky:-firmament. ![]() Here is the Strong's lexicon for proof there is no solid dome.įirmament/expanse from The New Strong's Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible: If you wanna prove the Bible teaches flat earth you're gonna have to abandon the video world in sink deep into the world of ancient literature. Even moreso is how the most reputable scholars of Christianity strongly oppose the assumptions of Seely & Helser. He said this and that but has no ancient proof to back up his claim. If you want to challenge Heiser, I'm sure he will be happy to oblige you. Seely, titled THE FIRMAMENT AND THE WATER ABOVE.Īnd no. Heiser is explaining that the ANE cosmology was as described above.Īnd regarding the sky being a hard dome, I refer you to the paper by Paul H. And these beliefs are reflected in the Bible.ĭon't let the way the video is titled mislead you. They believed that the sky was a hard dome which covered the earth, and that the earth was supported on pillars. Old Testament scholar Michael Heiser answers that question, which is 'yes.' ANE cultures believed the earth was flat, believed in a three tier cosmology- the heavens above, the earth below, and the waters below the earth. So you might want to find the most reputable support for flat earth interpretation before posting verse. But merely listing a verse will not be proof of interpretation. But that's my recommendation and you may post the usual 100 verses at a time and I will still answer all 100. For more productive discussion it would be polite to start with one or two verses. That is very time consuming to go through them all. I would also recommend not overloading this discussion by posting 100 verses at a time. This topic is an open challenge for anyone who believes Scripture teaches flat earth.
