Is climate change real?  If so, what is the cause?  Is it caused by human activity?  And can it be reversed?  If so, should it be reversed?  Many people have never stopped to consider these questions because they think they already know the answers to all of them.  After all, we have been told that climate change is real, dangerous, caused by human activity, and that we should fight it by reducing our carbon footprint.  But does science bear out such claims?  Most importantly, what does the Bible teach on this topic?

In this series of articles, we’ve been refuting the numerous false claims that FSIPs [Flat/Stationary Interpretation Proponents] make about the Bible. These proponents cite several verses, alleging that these Scriptures indicate a flat and/or stationary earth. In this final article, we’ll address their citations of passages that incorporate the phrases “the pillars of the earth” (1 Sam 2:8; Job 9:6; 26:7; Ps 75:3), “the corners of the earth” (Isa 11:12; Ezk 7:2; Rev 7:1; 20:8), and “the circle of the earth” (Isa 40:22; Pr 8:22; Job 26:10).

In this fourth installment of our series on refuting the so-called flat/stationary-earth prooftexts in the Bible, we’ll address the “high altitude perspective” passages that FSIPs (Flat Stationary Interpretation Proponents) frequently cite: Daniel 4, Matthew 4, and Revelation 1. As we examine these passages within their contexts, we’ll once again find that the FSIPs’ interpretations are unwarranted and their claims unjustified.

In this third installment of our series about the so-called flat/stationary-earth prooftexts in the Bible, we’ll examine another passage that FSIPs (Flat Stationary Interpretation Proponents) frequently cite: Joshua 10. Known as “Joshua’s long day,” this passage is the record of one of the most unique and miraculous days in human history. As Joshua writes, “There has been no day like it before or since” (Josh 10:14 ESV).

Previously, we began a series of articles about the so-called flat/stationary-earth prooftexts in the Bible. There is an abundance of vocal flat/stationary proponents (FSIPs) that go around citing a handful of biblical verses, alleging that these verses are proof that the Bible depicts, indicates, or implies a flat and/or stationary world. In the previous article I explained how these FSIPs are failing to read the text carefully, removing these verses from their immediate literary context, and distorting the intended meaning of passages in order to seemingly validate their claims.
