One of the most tragic questions in the Bible is the one God asked Adam after his disobedience.
Then the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 He said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.” 11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” Genesis 3:9–11 (NASB95)
Adam never would have known of his nakedness unless sin had destroyed his glorious relationship with God and made him aware of his guilt. The fact that Adam hid from God and saw himself as being naked and ashamed was proof of his sin and Satan’s work.
I wonder if God asks us a similar question when we announce to him that we now realize that we live on a spinning globe hurtling through “outer space” at incredible speeds while also revolving around the sun? Where would we get such a notion? Certainly not from anything he ever told us.
We humans generally perceive ourselves as being very intelligent beings, but we are no match for God, or even for Satan for that matter. That is why we so desperately need the Bible and the Holy Spirit. Without the “map” of God’s Word and the Holy Spirit for our guide, we are lost.
This is why it is so scary when we who call ourselves Christians follow godless astrophysicists down a road that leads away from Bible truth.
When I first came to the realization that the earth is not a globe after all and that the Bible is actually true in its description of where we live, I was flabbergasted that I had not believed the Bible in this matter! We would never arrive at the conclusion that we live on a revolving, rotating, wobbling sphere without outside input. We do not ever perceive such motion. It goes against all common sense that the earth’s surface is moving at around 700 mph at the latitude where I live. When we observe the stars keeping their same positions over the centuries, how could we possibly be hurtling through “space” in multiple directions at unbelievable speeds?
The polaris-centric orbits of the planets, which Copernicus rejected in favor of heliocentric orbits, are patterns that match what is created by an electromagnetic toroidal force field.
Nothing about the globe earth model agrees with what our God-given senses tell us; yet, we lay that testimony aside to accept a theory of the cosmos that contradicts God’s written Word. How sad! How mad! How tragic! (If you want more information on the men who came up with these godless theories, I suggest you watch the Heliosorcery documentary.
Oh, that God would open our eyes and hearts to once again choose to be people of the Book, no matter how stupid the world thinks we are!
