Do you believe that the sun moves and the earth stands still?
Does science change your view of the bible and should it? If you are willing to allow science to change how you see the sun and the earth should you allow it to change how you see other things?
Verses
There are multiple verses that have a generic reference to “sunrise”, including Genesis 19:23, Exodus 22:3, Judges 5:31, Judges 9:33, Job 9:7, Psalm 104:22, Ecclesiastes 1:5, Nahum 3:17, Matthew 5:45, Mark 16:2, and James 1:11. There are also a number of verses that use “sunrise” in relation to the direction “east”, which makes perfect sense, including Numbers 2:3, Numbers 3:38, Numbers 34:15, Joshua 1:15, Joshua 12:1, Joshua 13:5, Joshua 19:12, and Joshua 19:13.
Joshua 10:13 So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.
The Earth will not be moved
1 Chronicles 16:30 NASB “Tremble before Him, all the earth;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.”
Psalm 93:1 The Lord is king; he is robed in majesty;
the Lord is robed; he is girded with strength.
He has established the world; it shall never be moved;
Psalm 96:10 ESV “The Lord is king; he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed; he is girded with strength.
He has established the world; it shall never be moved;”
Psalm 104:5 ESV “He set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved.”
Job 26:7 ESV “He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing.”
1 Samuel 2:8 ESV “For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and on them he has set the world.”
Psalm 75:3 NIV “When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm.”
