Oh! yes it is! I feel the spirit of the World Youth Day 2008 in the very heart of Sydney. See how they sing, shout, pray with all their hearts in groups with their flags, banners, hats, t-shirts, nameplates and the yellow, orange and red backpacks. It's electrifying!!!

Who cares!!!
Have you ever heard of Zeus or Pan or Satyr (didn't he go around frollicking with the animals)? 9:2-3 From the beginning Genesis Man was to have dominion over fish, birds, cattle, and other animals (1:26). Presumably this meant they could all be tamed when needed. But humans began as vegetarians (1:29). The reference to clean animals by the time of Noah (7:2, 8) suggests that in due course the meat of vegetarian animals and birds was eaten. But after the flood God said that "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you." Maybe the animals had become "unclean" because Adam had dominion over them and had used those select animals wrongly in one of his Satyrist bouts. Puts a new meaning to the term, "Squeal like a pig boy!" -Deliverance It is not until Leviticus 18:23, that the law of beastility is set forth: |

18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it [is] confusion.
Genesis 9 1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.(see- no mention of the wives just Noah and his sons...those pan-sexual or androgynous Alien beings) 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.(Was this because Adam sodomized the animals and created that fear in his acts of beastiality? They are delivered unto man's hands) 3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.(As opposed to dead meat? Every moving thing? Does this include people? Herbs, the cannibas activist would be all for this phrase!) 4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.(God noticed that he made a mistake or that man is stupid enough to eat each other. They take everything so literally. Cannibalism, I wonder if they can pen that on Cain as well?) 5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.(Will he get off this beast obsession? Does God have a secret obsession with beastiality as well? I think he is saying that the life force of an animal is just as important as that life force of a man, comparing us to beasts of burden, perhaps? Or that you must offer sacrifices in honor or as pentance to the life force that you take?) 6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.(Is God saying that Man is an image of God or a Reflection of God, perhaps he is saying that man is divine and has the power of God a miniature God or Demi-God? By taking each other's lives you are taking the lives of Gods?) Hey its all in your good book!!! |

Like geocentrists, flat-earth advocates often give long lists of texts. Samuel Birley Rowbotham, founder of the modern flat-earth movement, cited 76 scriptures in the last chapter of his monumental second edition of Earth not a Globe. Apostle Anton Darms, assistant to the Reverend Wilbur Glenn Voliva, America's best known flat-earther, compiled 50 questions about the creation and the shape of the earth, bolstering his answers with up to 20 scriptures each. Rather than presenting an exhaustive compendium of flat-earth scriptures, I focus on those which seem to me the strongest. I also comment on some attempts to find the earth's sphericity in the Bible.
Scriptural quotes, unless otherwise noted, are from the New English Bible. Hebrew and Greek translations are from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. The Biblical cosmology is never explicitly stated, so it must be pieced together from scattered passages. The Bible is a composite work, so there is no a priori reason why the cosmology assumed by its various writers should be relatively consistent, but it is. The Bible is, from Genesis to Revelation, a flat-earth book. This is hardly surprising. As neighbors, the ancient Hebrews had the Egyptians to the southwest and the Babylonians to the northeast. Both civilizations had flat-earth cosmologies. The Biblical cosmology closely parallels the Sumero-Babylonian cosmology, and it may also draw upon Egyptian cosmology. The Babylonian universe was shaped like a modern domed stadium. The Babylonians considered the earth essentially flat, with a continental mass surrounded by ocean. The vault of the sky was a physical object resting upon the ocean's waters (and perhaps also upon pillars). Sweet (salt-free) waters below the Earth sometimes manifest themselves as springs. The Egyptian universe was also enclosed, but it was rectangular instead of round. Indeed, it was shaped much like an old-fashioned steamer trunk.(The Egyptians pictured the goddess Nut stretched across the sky as the enclosing dome.) What was the Hebrew view of the universe? |

The Order of Creation
The Genesis creation story provides the first key to the Hebrew cosmology. The order of creation makes no sense from a conventional perspective but is perfectly logical from a flat-earth viewpoint. The earth was created on the first day, and it was “without form and void (Genesis 1:2).” On the second day, a vault the “firmament” of the King James version was created to divide the waters, some being above and some below the vault. Only on the fourth day were the sun, moon, and stars created, and they were placed “in”(not “above”) the vault. The Vault of Heaven The vault of heaven is a crucial concept. The word “firmament” appears in the King James version of the Old Testament 17 times, and in each case it is translated from the Hebrew word raqiya, which meant the visible vault of the sky. The word raqiya comes from riqqua, meaning “beaten out.” In ancient times, brass objects were either cast in the form required or beaten into shape on an anvil. A good craftsman could beat a lump of cast brass into a thin bowl. Thus, Elihu asks Job,“Can you beat out [raqa] the vault of the skies, as he does, hard as a mirror of cast metal (Job 37:18)?” Elihu's question shows that the Hebrews considered the vault of heaven a solid, physical object. Such a large dome would be a tremendous feat of engineering. The Hebrews (and supposedly Yahweh Himself) considered it exactly that, and this point is hammered home by five scriptures: Job 9:8,“...who by himself spread out the heavens [shamayim]...” Psalm 19:1,“The heavens [shamayim] tell out the glory of God, the vault of heaven [raqiya] reveals his handiwork.” Psalm 102:25,“...the heavens [shamayim] were thy handiwork.” Isaiah 45:12,“I, with my own hands, stretched out the heavens [shamayim] and caused all their host to shine...” Isaiah 48:13,“...with my right hand I formed the expanse of the sky [shamayim]...” If these verses are about a mere illusion of a vault, they are surely much ado about nothing. Shamayim comes from shameh, a root meaning to be lofty. It literally means the sky. Other passages complete the picture of the sky as a lofty, physical dome. God “sits throned on the vaulted roof of earth [chuwg], whose inhabitants are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the skies [shamayim] like a curtain, he spreads them out like a tent to live in...[Isaiah 40:22].” Chuwg literally means “circle” or “encompassed.” By extension, it can mean roundness, as in a rounded dome or vault. Job 22:14 says God “walks to and fro on the vault of heaven [chuwg].” In both verses, the use of chuwg implies a physical object, on which one can sit and walk. Likewise, the context in both cases requires elevation. In Isaiah, the elevation causes the people below to look small as grasshoppers. In Job, God's eyes must penetrate the clouds to view the doings of humans below. Elevation is also implied by Job 22:12:“Surely God is at the zenith of the heavens [shamayim] and looks down on all the stars, high as they are.” |

It's not that bullshit as what you think. In fact, some pilgrims are taking pictures with the tarpaulin and a Lebanese woman begged me to give it to her so that she could display it in the Church in Lebanon. And I give it to her. |

I'm not on drugs but I got the spirit of the event under my skin. With the young ones dancing to the rhythm of the music in Hyde Park this afternoon, I also danced with the tarpaulin in my hand. That was fantastic!!! |
