WHY SHOULD I TRUST THE BIBLE? IT TEACHES THAT THE WORLD IS FLAT!
Actually, the Bible teaches no such thing. In the book of Isaiah, it says the world is shaped like a circle (some versions use the word "sphere.")
Some leaders in the early days of the church, started teaching that the world is flat. They based this on what they saw and believed was scientific "proof." (The leading scientists at that time believed the world was flat, too.)
The church leaders rejected the clear teaching of scripture so as to not look unintelligent.
That was their major mistake, not the Bible's.
Even though the Bible touches areas of science, it is not a science text book. When it speaks to science, it is accurate and trustworthy. But it doesn't answer every question one might have about the nature of the world around us.
It would be a good idea to fact-check any criticism you might hear about what the Bible supposedly says on scientific issues.
"Smart" people, in and out-of-the-church, have gotten it wrong in the past.
They're not perfect and can get it wrong today too.
Bible Seeds: Isaiah 40:22; Romans 1:22
Hi! Hopefully, you'll find this blog useful. Please take time to look up the "Bible Seed" references included in the posts; those give the scripture framework for the conclusions presented on the link.
Bible references were left out of the main text because they seem to slow-down reading time. However, users of the material on this site should know that the scripture listed in the "Bible Seed" section are actually much more important than the explanation given.
Although I believe the mini-teachings on this site are true and accurate, they are not directly inspired by God as is the Bible.
