I did look at more than half a dozen translations, and saw nothing that would change my understanding of what was meant. This is in reference to all my posts today.
It's quite clear that the Bible says the sun moves -- not just that it rises and sets, but that it moves. it also says the earth does not move.
It's quite clear (to me) that these are not scientific statements about cosmology, but it's also clear from history that church leaders have, at times, taken these statements literally and murdered people who said otherwise.
But I ask again, why do we not take these statements literally today? Is it because we are more careful readers of the bible, or is it because we have evidence that contradicts the literal meaning? If you think the evidence is in the Bible itself, please name the Biblical scholar who deduced the astronomical facts from the text of the Bible.

And did any of those not explicitly claim the World was created in 6 days?
