The original Bible was the book of God. It has now been changed to such an extent that it no longer is the same Bible.People have made changes to distort the facts and serve their personal agendas.

Hence the need for another book with the same original message, The QURAN!

The Psalms and 1 Chronicles ones are there because God wants us to understand that the earth will not be removed (meaning destroyed in the original language) by the evil loose in the world.

The one in Ecclesiastes refers to a phenomena that most people have witnessed. If you get up early enough in the morning or stay up late enough at night, and go outside, you will see a time in which the sun crosses the horizon. In the morning it raises above, and in the evening it drops below. Check your local paper (or the Internet) and you can find the times of sunrise and sunset listed each day. Even the Bible authors were smart enough to have seen it happen, and wrote about it as part of their praising of God. I am surprised that you are not familiar with it. (You may need to get away from your computer more often).

I think that those passages reflect the observations and understanding of the writers themselves, rather than the reality of the operation of planets in the solar system. Their words reflect the apparent permanence of the earth, which again is what you call the "problem" as there is something in the Bible about the earth being destroyed (I think). Maybe some people would call it a metaphor, but I don't know how that fits. Still I believe that God inspired the writers who always wrote with their own understanding and language. I hope that helps.

Psalms 93:1 Jehovah himself has become king!
With eminence he is clothed;
Jehovah is clothed—with strength he has girded himself.
The productive land also becomes firmly established so that it cannot be made to totter.

Psalms 96:10 Say among the nations: “Jehovah himself has become king.
The productive land also becomes firmly established so that it cannot be made to totter.
He will plead the cause of the peoples in uprightness.”

1 Chronicles ( I assume) 16:30 30 Be in severe pains on account of him, all YOU people of] the earth!
Also the productive land is firmly established:
Never will it be made to totter.

Psalms 104:5  He has founded the earth upon its established places; It will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.

Ecclesiastes 1:5 And the sun also has flashed forth, and the sun has set, and it is coming panting to its place where it is going to flash forth.


What is your point? I see no discrepancy

as already pointed out in 2 Timothy 3:16,17

"All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work."

i don't really believe in the good book, but i can add that if it is divine (then so is king james) do you think its contents could have been protected and unchanged for over 500 years? especially through the time 1500's when bibles were not in everyones homes and wasn't allowed only kings and clergy had access to this info.which is why the pope and the caths have such a grip on its people .spoon feed them nonsense to get the outcome expected. the pope martin 5th found it ok to santion slavery and the reaping of men.

The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty;
the LORD is robed in majesty
and is armed with strength.
The world is firmly established;
it cannot be moved.
Psalm 93:1 - what is wrong with that? I do believe the bible is the inspired word of God, but like other things, God allows us to be co-creators. The writers of the bible were people, so there would have been thier own personalities, styles of writing to the message...

His DIVINE writers of the songs of PSALMS--they are pure prayers to God, if you EVER feel down.

I do NOT argue people--it takes my focus off of God, where it belongs.

Did you read the passages that go along with your arguement?

I think you're not making allowances for poetic language. These same verses include one in which the trees sing for joy, the earth rejoices, fields exult, etc.

I see no problems with these. Jehovah is metaphorically (sp) stating that the earth will never be destroyed, and that the sun rises and sets on a scheduled basis. (Even scientists use that term.)
