I'm not rejecting anything. No I'm not closing one eye but allow me to give my interpretation of Job 9 and Job 26, in context. First of all, in Job 9 it's describing God's anger. I interpret that nothing can move the earth EXCEPT GOD ALONE with His perfect Will and ANGER.. There are numerous other scriptures to counter that one verse in Job 9. I see no contradictions at all in Job 9 and 26 and I will bold the key phrases and words according to my interpretation. In Job 26, the first thing that stands out are the words "and how hast though plentifully declared the thing as it is". Meaning God chooses the right words and declares it. To me, "He hangeth the earth on nothing" means exactly the opposite of what you interpret. It means the earth IS NOT HANGING AND FLYING AND SPINNING THROUGH ENDLESS SPACE. It hangs on nothing, it doesn't hang. (It has foundations, stationary, immovable, fixed per scriptures), and you've seen the rudimentary Hebrew depiction I'm sure. Even "compassed" is circular, could go either way. NOTE: ANY AND ALL SCRIPTURE OF EARTH MOVING IN ANY WAY OR THE PILLARS OF BOTH HEAVEN AND EARTH (I THINK), WILL PROBABLY BE DESCRIBING GOD'S ANGER AND WRATH IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER). I've shown in a previous post that the sun goes down and it also rises, according to God's command. IMO, that means God commands and CAUSES the SUN to go up and down NOT the earth. No mention of earth spinning to greet the sun or the earth moving in any direction. In fact, just the opposite, as you know. In another post I showed the scriptures of the earth GOD SET as a Taberbnacle FOR the sun. (I hope you've seen those posts and scriptures, I hate to keep re-posting since I'm answering multiple people people instead of one.) KJV definitions and everything.
The only way Job 26:7 KJV - makes sense to me is that the the "north" stretched out over the empty place, it can't mean the earth because the earth is not empty. Earth is not an empty place. The firmament can be although it's NOT empty, but "space"CAN BE. There are also the scriptures of a canopy, tent, and dome, like a garment, spread out and stretched ABOVE THE EARTH. I'm a firm believer that God uses the right words. Also in Job 9:7 KJV - We know that God commands the SUN not to move. Not the other way around nor does it say God makes the WHOLE HEAVEN STOP. I hope I'm being clear because I have trouble explaining things. I hope somehow you can see my point of view. Also the word Chambers or chamber as used in Job 9:9 KJV and in as in their place as they have their "circuit" (scripture and definition in previous posts as with "line") Also, in Psalm 19:4-6 KJV - the sun is a "bridegroom"coming out from it's circuit and chamber for the earth. Again, we are told that that everything around us is done with the earth at the center, in my interpretation. Earth is the focal point not some other slice of "outer space" 14 billion light years away that is NOT ABOVE THE EARTH. I could go on as I see more everyday lately not even considering the connections to deception in the conspiracy thread. The reason I'm enlarging fonts is because the text looks really small to me on the computer I have. Always an excuse, right? I hope you don't respond to this in 3 minutes and not absorbing what I'm trying to say and I'm sorry for the annoyance of the fonts. There's also several verses about the ends of heavens and/or end of heaven (which we can't see the entirety of in spinning ball scenario). The's a lot more when you look. Laying the cornerstone also means stable and fixed in place. I'm rambling.
Job 26 - KJV - But Job answered and said,2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
Job 9:1-13 KJV - Then Job answered and said,2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
Psalm 19:4-6 KJV - Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Job 38:4-14 KJV - Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
12 Hast thoucommanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
