This is the introduction to an interesting lecture I saw on-line. In this clip, Dr. John Walton describes the necessity of reading the Scriptures in the context of what the authors believed to be true, not what we do.
Here is the link to Dr. Walton’s full presentation: https://youtu.be/1kOflP3eLSI
From what I have seen, he and Dr. Michael Heiser definitely appear to be cut from the same cloth. I can certainly appreciate and respect their intellectual honesty in showing that the Biblical authors readily accepted and promoted the same cosmology shared by pretty much the whole ANE, which is totally different cosmology from what we have today. However, I can’t accept their Doctrine of Accommodation/”the Bible is a book of theology not science” rationale for dismissing what they know it actually says.
What I am agreeing with in this video is the fact that we MUST read the words with the understanding the HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED AUTHORS had, not what we wish to impose upon the text based on what we claim to understand.

Thanks for sharing Rob. I believe the Father said what He said and that is; the earth does Not move but the Sun, Moon & Stars Do move, this can only be if we live in/on a stationary enclosed flat plain :
plane-et, Aleph Tav or et (Rev 22:13), et is a Hebrew word used to indicate that something is a particular thing (something like the difference between using the article "a" and "the" – one is more general than the other). It means the noun to which it is applied is a very particular one. Aleph Mem Tav (emet) is the Hebrew word for "truth." Shalom :))

Creationist Big bang-Evolution cosmology Christians, decide: Is the bible literal or is poetic. Chose your master.
In ancient Africa scientist were priest & priest were scientist. Science is " to know " . We cant limit science to physics . Physics is just a branch on that big tree called science . Btw we all scientist and the multi verse is the grand lab
Pray before u read his Word. Ask God for understanding. Let the Holy Spirit unfold the mystery of the one true living God to you. God bless us all.
