The inference would be less 'inclusive' than I'd have hoped for!

Clearly there was no room for other gods within Judaism. Indeed, the Jews were famously monotheistic, and of course Christianity, by virtue of its roots follows a similar path...according to some!

I suppose the reasoning is: one God created all we know, so why should any other gods be worshipped and praised?

I suppose I can understand that.

The 'circle of the earth'.

The original Hebrew word is 'chugh', which is also translated as 'sphere'.

Job 26:7 He is stretching out the north over the empty place, Hanging the earth upon nothing.

Isaiah 40:22 There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth, the dwellers of which are as grasshoppers, the One who is stretching out the heavens like fine gauze, who spreads them out lke a tent in which to dwell.


2 points of note in those scriptures quoted.

Firstly, the Job scripture has been dated as having been written about 3500 years ago.

How many farmers new the earth was suspended 'upon nothing' back then? That took another couple of thousand years to establish.

Secondly, Isaiah clearly states that the earth is a 'circle'. He said this 2700 years ago.

How could a simple oriental have known this?

Sure there were many erudite and ingenious minds back then, but this is extraordinary even for them, and positively remarkable for a non scientific man of God.

Nope, there's something fishy goin' on here!
