Does the earth move or is it stationary?

These scriptures also mean that the sun physically rises and goes down over the world.

And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up, Judges 8:13

And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city: and, behold, when he and the people that is with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion. Judges 9:33

And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle. Judges 14:18

And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin. Judges 19:14

Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising. Judges 20:43

And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died. 2 Chronicles 18:34

Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. Job 9:7

(To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. Psalms 19:1-6

(A Psalm of Asaph.) The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Psalms 50:1

For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. James 1:11

This means that the sun physically rises in the east; is the highest it will rise over the world at due south, and then goes down in the west (every day). It speeds up as it rises,

So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years. Judges 5:31

extending it’s course outward; making an extended circle of a course as it goes over the south. At due south it begins to slow down, closing it’s extended circle of a course inward; until it gets to the west. In the west it starts it’s perfect circle of a course, around 93 miles up; going the same speed, and keeping that altitude; until it gets to the east and starts to rise again. That is where the word set comes from. The sun sets on it’s level (level altitude and speed), until it gets to the east and starts rising again.

Indeed that is true from looking at the sky from earth.

The Earth is stationary. As I mentioned in my other post:

The earth is in a fixed path around the sun thrice from it, oblong creates the seasons, it’s in the habitable zone.

provable acceleration?? it’s been moving 1000mph for a long time.

Incorrect. As the Bible says and true science actually has shown, the Earth is fixed and unmoving, and the Sun is orbiting Earth.
Check out the movie "The Principle" (probably can be found on youtube) which goes into some of the science, that's a good starting point to find true science outside of the atheist views of popular science, which actually proves that the Earth is not only fixed and unmoving, but actually at the center of the universe. Which makes sense, since God created the Earth before the rest of the universe (check out Genesis 1).

Wow... a quick scan of this thread shows so much error, it's hardly worth responding further. What a train wreck!

Y'all need to get outside more often.

true science has shown where? why would I believe Rick Delano?

in genesis 1 the earth was without form, it was in its elementary form, elements.

After that, God created life.

Wow that's really good CGI. Look how far we've come with technology! Amazing!

Gravity, largely. Partly residual motion from the formation of the planets. Earth encounters virtually no resistance in the vacuum of space. Newton's first law explains this well.

Good day Johnnyvegas,

The reason that it is written that "the sun stood still and the moon stayed" is because at that time they had no concept of the solar system with everything revolving around the sun. Therefore to those people at that time, the sun and moon would appear to be moving, i.e. going down. They did not understand that the sun was stationary and that the earth was rotating. Obviously, God did not reveal that information to them.

Tough miracle? Is anything tough for the Miracle Maker himself?

Thank goodness this post is imaginary.

God could make these weirdo posts stop. He must have a sense of humor.

Relative to what?

A matter of observational perspective perhaps. We are the center of our own little universes in our own little heads unless we put God at the center of our conciousnesses.

We needn't feel superior in knowledge to the ancient peoples. I suspect they knew things we don't know, tho we have the Bible, yet we do not believe it. The further away we get from our beginning, the more we "forget". I cannot think the Almighty mislead them. I don't buy, "Oh that was how they understood their surroundings", so God said "ok we'll go with that no need to confuse the little creatures."

For instance this old verse about springs of the seas, Job 38:16 “Have you entered into the springs of the sea, or walked in the recesses of the deep?

The existence of water springs in the oceans weren't discovered until about 1970. Chew on that all you doubters that the Bible is true.

God's powers are infinite. He can make the impossible come to pass.

If the earth is constantly stationary, explain earthquakes? If the earth is constantly moving, how come there is no evidence of it, besides earthquakes?
