It is probable that the English idiomatic
understanding of “the four corners of the
earth,” referring to the remotest parts of the
earth, stems from Revelation 20:7–8. From an evaluation of its context, we may
conclude that this is also the meaning of “the
four corners of the earth” in Isaiah 11:12, the third appearance of this phrase in the
Bible. It’s use there generally is understood
to be idiomatic.

Martinez19:
na so. If the bible writers really meant round, it would have been translated round. The language from which the old testament was translated had sufficient wordings so that such simple description wouldn't have been misinterpreted.

If kanaph simply meant extremity, where did number "four" come from if they didn't meant to say four corners?

He he... his God that inspired people to write his precious book for the world to learn couldnt inspire the translators to write something straight foward and clear... even the holy spirit that was supposed to help people understand sat down like a zombie and watch man use his own wisdom to translate hebrew language the way he thought was right.... perhaps butterflylion is the messiah to give us the perfect translation..

Yet no one is opting for a rerwite of this book

Do you have the balls to tell your Christian wife what you just typed?

Are you still afraid she would divorce you?

Isn't your wife a christian?

Why do you come online on a faceless forum to fume when you are afraid to tell her the things you shamelessly say here to her face. You called me here by mentioning me so i wish to respond

Why are you scared of your wife oh high and mighty powerful Frankie the coward? Does she scare you or you are simply a weakling in real life who hides behind a faceless forum to form lion when you are just a little mouse

Is ur mum not a mad woman? She has put u in this condition where u will be defending a non existent being with all ur life... she just made u as mad her for nothing.. why na.

Yet your wife is serving a non existent being right?

Have you told her? Can you tell her? Do you have the liver to tell her?

Do you always get mad at your wife for being a christian? When you do, do you show her? Can you show her?

I think she wears the pants in your home since you find it cowardly to tell her your mind right in your own home but she is not afraid to show her Christianity to you and call on this "non existent" God right under your nose and to your face all day every day and even right into your bedroom.

Can you beat that?

if Yahweh could manufacture an accurate holy book and reign them down from heaven, like he did manna, this confusion would stop.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love [g]turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear [h]brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love's complete perfection].

Is that how you see her?

Lol... i can see ur mum has eventuallly made u insane. Why do u hate her so much? Is she such a mad woman? Are u angry she put u in this condition?

Butterflyleo, you were angry when someone derailed your trend but here you are derailing mine. Mtewwwwwww. By the way what's your take on my topic?

Martinez19:
Ah! The bible already said the earth had four corners and even pillars .

Show me where the scriptures say the earth has pillars? People are destroyed for lack of accurate knowledge.

Martinez19:

Isnt it fishy? The creator of the world inspires someone to write a book in one particular language but wants the whole world to read it only for him ro sit there and watch translators make a mess of the book. Yet he choses to blame man for doubting it bases on the bad translation... what even stops him from inspiring a more meaningful story?

Like I said, feel free to insult my mum after all the OP of this thread sees nothing wrong when atheists do so. I guess its because he knows atheists have no morals to hold on to

So why would I be angry with you if you insult my mum since I know the sickness you have is called moralomiasis.

Sha answer my question is all I want.

Do you insult your wife for being a christian since you insult other Christians on NL for serving a God you term as imaginary?

Are you silently angry with her and are just pretending? Do you genuinely love her despite you being an atheist and she being a christian?

If this is the case, then why do you hate Christians here on nairaland and call their God imaginary despite having one right in your bedroom whom you lay with at night?

Martinez19:

You have no idea what you're talking about. Yes! I asked you the bolded question and its as valid as a question can possibly get

@bolded, Evolution NEVER said there is no god, that's something you're told by someone extremely uninformed or wilfully dishonest about evolution. Maybe you should find out what evolution really says rather than regurgitate nonsense someone else told you? If you insist with the claim "Evolution says there is no god" then educate me on that

@italics, I made no such claim, you're the one that stated the bible "Condemned" evolution. If you go back to your original post I quoted sir, you'll notice you said the bible didn't support evolution. that I didn't challenged but you then went on to claim that it "Condemned" evolution, this is what I'm challenging

I hope the person who liked this post of yours stick around to learn a thing or two so he doesn't go around liking such nonsense again

Lol... Seems you guys are naturally always angry...
If my choice of words by saying the Bible "condemns" evolution is what is causing the misunderstanding I apologise for the exaggeration, any other word just doesn't describe perfectly the Bible's view of evolution as it does.... It's enough for me that you've acknowledge that the Bible doesn't support it.
You needn't bring the liker of my initial post into the argument, trust me what you see as nonsense makes a whole lot of sense to another person.... Just because some things from your perspective appears to be nonsense doesn't mean they are or should be to others...

CAPSLOCKED:



I SEE YOUR GUY ABOVE TRYING TO COVER UP THE "FOUR CORNERS" BELIEF OF THE ANCIENT GOAT HERDERS WHO WROTE THE BY-BU.

ASK HIM TO EXPLAIN THE PARTS WHICH DESCRIBED "THE WATERS ABOVE THE FIRMAMENT".

ASK HIM HOW NOAH WAS ABLE TO PLEAD WITH EVERYONE TO REPENT AND JOIN THE ARK.... I'M INTERESTED IN KNOWING THE MAGIC HE USED TO COMMUNICATE WITH AFRICANS, AMERICANS, AND AUSTRALIANS AS THERE WAS NO MEANS OF COMMUNICATION THEN.

ASK HIM HOW CARVING ON A TREE CREATED STRIPES ON THE ANIMALS WHO MATED NEARBY.

ASK HIM TO EXPLAIN THE VERSES BELOW.

Why must you fail in the school of reasoning and thought when it comes to Theist belief, haven't you read about different ages
Pre-Cambrian, Cambrian , ice age, etc

Ok wait, you wanted to query the Bible, have you not read or heard in the Bible that the 3 children of Noah are the ancestors of the world. Are these three words strange to you => Semitic, Hamitic, Japhetite

free burger in Genesis 11: 1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech
So how will that be difficult to communicate

ASK HIM HOW CARVING ON A TREE CREATED STRIPES ON THE ANIMALS WHO MATED NEARBY.

Must I teach you Agric Science again. That was genetic engineering if you dont know. The idea has patent so I cant share it with you


Next dont do it Again, else I will ask seun to beat and bad you

I will help him, but please for the sake of knowledge, use Diary section to explain evolution in your own understanding and stop using terms that people are uninformed about evolution, it free on internet for us to read.

If I asked you what is the purpose of evolution, your answer will absolute NULL, i.e. no purpose. Which means evolution just occurred and it occurrence is by chances. And many Atheist (Evolutionist) agreed that Evolution is contrary to Intelligent design which is attributed to God, then it is directly stating that their is no God that create everything. This paragraph is just the summary of evolution.

God creating everything in its unique nature is what makes perfect sense as it distinguish every being on its own with its unique attribute(s).

I'm not an evolutionary biologist so there are many things about evolution I do not know, I'm not pretending to be an authority on the subject. with that being said, I know evolution makes no claim about existence of gods which was the main thing I'm challenging

Do you sometimes wonder what has gotten into your wife's head?

Can you tell her?
