Good find! This one keeps coming up.marc wrote: ↑May 25th, 2023, 11:24 am I can have fun. I'll see your PoGP scriptures and raise you a Book of Mormon scripture:
Helaman 12:15 And thus, according to his word the earth goeth back, and it appeareth unto man that the sun standeth still; yea, and behold, this is so; for surely it is the earth that moveth and not the sun.
In the context, however, it is a list of hypotheticals that God does not do but which he could do to show forth his power. He could say to the mountain "move", but he does not. He could say to earth "go back", but typically he does not. If he did, then it would look like the earth is moving because he commanded it to actually move.
I see this as a stationary earth view of the world.
Of course, these verses weren't intended to be revelatory on the subject, as opposed to the creation accounts which were.
