Hello Black, welcome to EvC.

Doesn't say anything about the shape of the Earth. It does say however the Earth does not move. Something which is also false. The same goes for your other verses. However, as you noted, in other translations, it is different. How are we to determine which is the correct one? Oh! Look! We have a thread just for that purpose! See here 1 Chronicles 16:30Tremble before Him, all the earth; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
I think the Maya would have something to say about that. Did the kingdoms of the earth, at that time, cover the whole spherical world as we know it? Perhaps this is better interpreted that, Jesus was shown all the kingdoms of the world at that time. While the verses can be said to make sense more if you interpret "the whole world" as "the known world" there is nothing in the text that indicates it should be interpreted in that way. Edited by Huntard, : Spellings I hunt for the truth What you can do in my country and get away with: Softdrugs? Legal!Legal drinking age? 16! Birth control (the pill)? Free! Gay marriage? Legal! Abortion? Legal! Euthanasia? Legal! Age of consent? 16 (14 if you have the parents permission)! Yep, only one way down for us!
