in the bible book samuel ch no 2 verse 8 it says the earth have got pillars it is scientific error isnt it?

Answer 1

It is allegorical symbolic picture language - the Bible is written in many different forms. To read it all as one form (history / science / allegory / spirituality / etc.) leads to gross error. You must understand language to understand the depth of expression. Anyone who thought the writer was describing a literal pillar should understand language before attempting to critique the Scriptures.

Consider this language:
Isaiah 40 -
1 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? 22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

the earth is a circle.
the writers understood planets -
2 Kings 23:5 - And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.

Job 38:
32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

Answer 2

The KJV has "pillars", but the NIV has "foundations." Please consider that the English language has evolved in the last five hundred years; we have more words now, and are able to translate ancient, dead languages better.

The word that was translated as "pillars" was mâtsûq, which doesn't really have an exact word that means approximately the same. It would literally be a supporting column, which as it turns out, is NOT a scientific error. The Earth DOES have a supporting column of sorts. We call it the invisible axis.

Answer 3

These pillars is a symbolic symbol, Because The bible also says that Heaven is God's throne & the earth his footstool, & in Job 26:7 It says that God hangth the earth upon nothing.

Answer 4

"for the pillars of the earth [are] the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them."

"Pillars of the earth" is illustrative of the stability of the Earth. God created them, He set them on Earth, the pillars are in God's hands...God's control.
