Taken from a Rev. Peter Wallace's article about the flat earth exsisting no more:
'
Scripture calls us to see the earth as a flat surface with a solid dome over it. It turns out that these statements are figurative,'Here's another:'The earth is the center of the physical universe not in a physical sense, but in a spiritual sense.'http://www.peterwallace.org/old/essays/flatearth.htmOk I'm sorry but that's pure garbage.
The entirety of this man's article points out that the Bible WAS and ALWAYS WAS understood to be a FLAT EARTH BOOK, only it had been misinterpreted all along.
Even the ancient Hebrews believed it to be flat with a dome Firmament. (He actually goes into detail) But unfortunately for them they only had misunderstood, or got the translations wrong, or something like that.
Well, that's a great way to let pagans know that Scripture's
real reliable. So for around 5600 years all the ancients had been wrong. Everything known, and written about the earth (including Scripture) passed down through tradition over the centuries, was all wrong because Galileo, Copernicus and others, came along and taught us something 'new', 'better', and 'more advanced.'
Huh, interesting..sounds a lot like modernism to me.
The Catechism teaches-
Through all the words of Sacred Scripture, God speaks only one single Word, His one Utterance in whom he expresses Himself completely:64Spinning globe earth undermines Scripture. That means it does matter what we believe.
