Heliocentricity: What's It Good For?

[Aaron]

A few more things from scripture for the Geocentric Model:
Genesis 1:1-2,
"1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
Verse 2 the earth is what is centered in on by God and Darkness was upon the deep, but the Spirit moved and there was light, "3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." But notice God didn't call the light sun or moon, but day and night.

Let's skip ahead a little:

"14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."

What did God create on the fourth day?
Light in the firmament, its purpose to divide the day from the night. The purpose from verse 15 to give light to the "EARTH" the sun exist for the Earth not the earth for the Sun. Verse 16 God made on this the fourth day, two great lights, the greater to rule the day and the lesser the night and he made the stars. So God made the Sun to give light to the Earth, now if God made the earth first as scripture is clear on then how could the first circle the second?

Secondly the great lights were created for a purpose, for signs, seasons, days and years. So it these were created for that purpose and the earth existed first again how can the earth orbit around something that did not exist until the fourth day?

Solomon the wisest man said in Ecclesiastes 1:"5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose."

The run rises and goes down and hasteth to his place where he arose, sounds like the Sun is moving not the earth in an orbit.

Isaiah 40:
"21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:"

Again we see God sits upon the circle of the earth thus Science proven of a round earth, and that the heavens spread out from the earth not the Sun.

Proof upon proof from scripture of a geocentric model, as the earth is the central figure of the solar system. The Earth was without form and void, the earth was, God center of creation is the Earth.

If God's center of creation is the Earth then what does everything else have as its center? Surely not the sun.

There is no question, if the Scriptures are to be believed, that the earth is the center of focus in God's plans for the universe. The sun, moon and stars were created to shine on the earth, and for man to measure his days, years, seasons and for signs.

There is no question, if the Scriptures are to be believed, that the Son of God was given a Name that is above all names in Heaven for the work He did on this earth—not some other—and that all in Heaven, Hell or any part of the cosmos bend the knee to Him at that Name.

There is no question, that is, unless you come to the Scriptures with preconceived ideas of the nature of the universe, themselves formed by the Naturalistic philosophies of modern science and science fiction.

But . . . if the motion of the earth is the reality, a satisfying answer has to be given for the reason Christ spoke to His disciples as if the sun were moving around the earth instead . . . and this is the topic they have been avoiding.

But Cassidy and co. also claim to believe and understand the Scriptures. This is where revwmc has you guys by the boys:

If the reality is that the earth moves, why didn't Christ say just say it that way?

A) Christ did not know better.
B) Christ condescended to the ignorance and superstition of His disciples.
C) Christ was speaking in relative terms.​

D) The manuscripts are corrupt. Christ didn't say His Father maketh His sun to rise.

We are lost in space as far as we are concerned, but GOD knows our whereabouts.
