"But elsewhere that Bible says the sun moves."

Source?

I'll nip this one before it comes completely out anyway:

It states the sun moves across the sky *in a translation*.

From post #393

Martin Luther's interpretation of the relevant Scriptur: In 1539, Martin Luther wrote: "Mention has been made of some new astrologer, who wanted to prove that Earth moves and goes around, and not the firmament or heavens, the sun and moon... This fool wants to turn the entire art of astronomy upside down! But as the Holy Scriptures show, Joshua ordered the sun, and not Earth, to halt!"

Are you suggesting that Martin Luther wasn't smart enough to read the Bible correctly? Is there any particular reason why the Bible would be so obscure in its meaning that its interpretation would lie beyond the ken of Martin Luther? Is there any hope at all for the less intelligent?

Perhaps the interpretation of sacred writings isn't a reproducible experiment.
