Black,
Really if all you have are personal attacks then please go someplace else. You left a jackass response and I was trying to show you that you need to back up your statements with some sort of evidence. Invoking scripture is not evidence. If you are just coming here to insult, then go someplace else. Just attacking other peoples evidence is not evidence. You need to provide some to show why your beliefs have validity.

GM writes: There has always been war, famine, pestilence and death. This is a pretty banal fulfilment. You also seem to be confused as to the meaning of the word "literally". You can't have a "literal event" related to the Four Horsemen, without having four bloody great ghouls on horses. we were discussing the fact that the bible contains symbolisms and metaphors and analogies we dont take them literally as if 4 ghouls on horseback are going to ride throughout the earth declaring war and spreading disease...they are symbolic this is why not everything in the bible is to be taken literally as you seem to be doing

Actually Black, it was YOUR claim :
"Is it not reasonable to suggest that the Hebrews had a very limited understanding of our earth? " Kapyong

This goes for more than just you Black, but to everybody here remember the goal is to have a civil debate. If anybody is confused as to how the moderators think this is best achieved please look at the Forum Rules.
In particular I think this rule might need some special consideration:

Hi black,
Welcome aboard. That different interpretations exist is a given. What GM has done is collect together various passages that taken together paint the same picture. This argument is not new but will be to some individuals. In support of the view that the heavens were a dome into which the stars were placed I will offer Isaiah 14:13,14For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most high. In this verse we see that ascending above the stars is comparable to ascending above the clouds. Even allowing an order of magnitude difference between clouds and stars we are left with the conclusion that a modern concept of stars eluded ancient peoples.
