The God of the Bible is the one and only Living God

Thank you for your quick response. I appreciate your opening arguments. Let's take a look at my opponent's scientific "facts."==Rebuttal to Pro's opening arguments==Isaiah 40:22 reveals the truth that the earth is round, a fact that we didn't know until the 15th century. "[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:"Sounds impressive until one realises that this actually gives notion to a flatearth! Matt Slick of CARM admits this, "This may or may not be construed to support the spherical shape of the earth. The horizon is a circle and a circle is flat." [1] In Rejection of Pascal's Wager, Paul Tobin points out the fact that the word circle does NOT mean a sphere! [2] It is a fact that both a circle and a sphere are both "round", but the shapes are not interchangeable. Notice the word tent in that passage to describe the sky. It is a fact that you put a tent on a flat surface. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A TENT THAT is A SPHERICAL OBJECT ENVELOPING ANOTHER SPHERICAL OBJECT! In fact, just to point out the Hebrew word is khug. This is a circle not a sphere. [3] Here are other uses of khug. Job 26:10He has described a circle (Hebrew khug) upon the face of the waters ... Proverbs 8:27When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle (Hebrew khug) on the face of the deep Moreoever, it should be pointed out that there is a word that does mean sphere. That word is dur. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, it gives the cosmology of the Earth:"The Hebrews regarded the earth as a plain or a hill figured like a hemisphere, swimming on water. Over this is arched the solid vault of heaven. To this vault are fastened the lights, the stars. So slight is this elevation that birds may rise to it and fly along its expanse."[4] My opponent then cites the verse: Job 26:7 which reveals that the earth is held in place by invisible forces, something we didn't know until 1650. "He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, [and] hangeth the earth upon nothing."As always, there are a few issues with this:Issue 1: The Earth is not upon "nothing" In fact, the earth is "supported" by the gravity from the sun.Issue 2: Who is speaking?In efforts to better understand the passage, we first need to understand who is speaking. The person speaking is Job. Obviously Job is a mortal man and can make mistakes. Let us now look at other passages that contradict that. 1 Chron. 16:30 "...the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved." Psa. 93:1 "...the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved." Psa. 96:10 "...the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved:" Psa. 104:5 "[Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be removed for ever." Job. 26:11 "The pillars of heaven tremble..." 2 Sam. 22:8 "...the foundations of heaven moved..." Let's see what God thought of Job's scientificly sound knowledge.Job 38:1-4Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind: "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?...Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?" So Yahweh declares Job to be "without knowledge" and affirms a foundation of the earth! My opponent does not stop there, he then cites yet another (fallacious) verse to "prove" the scientific soundness of the Bible!Psalm 8:8, "The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas."Paul Tobin once again makes a good notice when it comes to this verse:In fact, the word "path" according to Strong's is best translated as a well trodden road. The meaning can be found within the Old Testament: Judges 5:6 KJVIn the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways [Hebrew orach] were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways. Isaiah 41:3 RSVHe pursues them and passes on safely, by paths [Hebrew orach] his feet have not trod. There are some version that translates orach as "caravans" and Isaiah 41:3 as "the way." The point is clear. The word in its literal sense is a "well trodden road." So much for scientific accuracy! My opponent wants to use a literal translation of this, so a literal translation would be, "The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatsoever] passes through the well trodden road of the sea. There is no miracle here. ==Defense of My Arguments==My opponent calls my different denomination argument a "straw-man." However, this is clearly not. Let us consult the Bible. Matthew 17 says, "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."Here Jesus is praying that all of the Christians would be one. Thank you Jesus for proving that nothing fails like prayer. In any case, it is a fact that not one moment and point in the Church's history were the followers of Jesus united as Jesus wants them to be.My failed prophecies prove a point. My opponent thinks it can be a figurative; however I would like to know how that can be figurative given the historical context of the scripture.Resolution Negated.References [1] Slick, Matt J.
