Here is my Powerpoint lesson on geocentricity:
Here is my blog covering numerous aspects of geocentricity. It has about 50 (mostly short and easily readable) entries:
Here is Dr. Gerardus Bouw’s website. He is the leading advocate of geocentricity and has impeccable scientific credentials.
Here is a second place to see my message on Geocentricity. It’s a little newer, updated, and probably better than the one above.
Bath Bible Institute, “Geocentricity” -Teno Groppi – YouTube
Geocentricity is a topic with which I struggle. I notice that the verses that imply the earth doesn’t move are in the Psalms, which are poetic books, so I don’t know if we can hang much doctrine on those.
However, I trust what the Lord says over what any scientists or astronomer says any day. I look forward to reading each of these entries.
My only complaint with Dr. Bouw’s book The Geocentricity primer is it sends too much time quoting from secular sources instead of just focusing on what the Bible says. For example, he quotes Bertrand Russel on the Bible. Who cares what Russell had to say about anything? Russell was a Christ hating rascal!
Anyway, maybe your articles will answer more questions I have. I just love this site!
The Psalms are still TRUE – and very few of the scriptures for GC are in Psalms.

Have you ever read his full book instead of just the primer? The book covers it
much more thoroughly from every angle.

Watch my video. It gives a thorough coverage. Then the articles go in different
directions.

Let’s just look at the Bible. Jesus declared that His Father’s “word is truth. (Jn. 17:17).” Jesus is His Word (Jn. 1:14 ) and He cares how we treat His Word:
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. John 12:48
Do you believe that Jesus’ words including what He said about planetary motion are true? Your belief matters to Him.
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mark 8:38 see also Luke 9:26
I don’t want Jesus ashamed of me when He comes back. I try to spread His Word, and I stand behind it all.
Many Bible verses confirm that the earth does not move. The earth is so special to God that He created it first and wrapped the universe around it a few days later as explained in Genesis 1.

We’re supposed to receive Jesus’ words. How do we do that?
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:2-3
Jesus expects us to accept His Word with childlike faith because He doesn’t lie either to adults or to children. The Bible says much a child can’t understand, and much that I can’t understand, but anything a child can understand is true as a child would understand it.
How would a child understand “And the evening and the morning were the first day (Gen. 1:5 )?” A child would understand that God made everything in 6 days, each of which had an evening and a morning.
How would a child understand:
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. Ecclesiastes 1:5
A child who hadn’t yet been taught what “science, falsely so called (1 Tim. 6:20 )” says about how planets move would say that the Bible says that the sun goes around the earth. Scientists say that all motion is relative so it doesn’t matter how you define planetary motion.
In Paul’s speech before he departed for Rome, he said:
But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: and have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. Acts 24:24-15
Paul said he believed all things written in the Bible. Do you believe the Bible? Can you believe the Bible? It’s important – the next section shows that abandoning the doctrines of cosmology touched on in the Bible has led to the abandonment of many more doctrines.
They’re listed here:

Where do you place your faith? Do you choose to believe in the Word of God, or do you choose to trust the absurd just-so stories of science, falsely so called?
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: I Timothy 6:20
