《圣经》记载的“天圆地方”
以下的《圣经》关于地平论的经文，是我在前一段时间整理的。西方的地平论支持者很多喜欢从《圣经》中寻找依据。经过一段时间的研究，现在我的看法有了改变，现在我认为“大地是平的”是一个科学事实，地平论是一个科学的理论，其实和《圣经》没有关系，没有必要把《圣经》作为依据。因为《圣经》也不可靠，可能全部就是假的，伪造的。我现在倾向于利用更可靠的中国的历史记载来作为地平论的依据，算是初步建立了东方地平论的雏形。
以下的《圣经》关于地平论的经文内容，我认为还是有必要了解。东方地平论者，需要了解西方地平论，以及西方地平论的依据之一《圣经》。地平论也需要了解地球论、日心说。很遗憾的就是，从古到今大多数时候以及现在，地平论者对于所有相关问题的知识的了解远远超过地球论者。但是地球论者却根本不愿意了解地平论，造成了信息的不对称和缺失。信息的不对称和缺失，会造成判断的严重失误。我强烈地建议，不管自己持有什么主张，都要多去了解和自己对立的、不同的见解，说不定会有意外的收获。
以下是原文章
几乎全世界的文明几千年以来都信仰地平论，很多记载保留了世界的起源的真相，值得研究。《圣经》之中关于地平论的记载很多，有助于我们理解天地的创始和世界结构。经过对地平论的研究发现，《圣经》等上古记载是比较准确的，地球论、日心说、万有引力、大爆炸、进化论、相对论、登月等等所谓的科学反而是不准确的。我们需要研究大地形状和世界结构的真相，《圣经》是重要的参考。以下列出《圣经》和地平论有关的部分记载，英文按照英皇詹姆斯钦定版（Authorized King James Version，KJV），中文按照和合版。
