If this is what passes for serious Bible exposition, the church is in deep trouble. Has this man not
               read what the Holy Spirit stated through the martyr Stephen?


               Acts 7:48-49
               “However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands; as the prophet says:
               ‘Heaven is My throne, and earth is the footstool of My feet; What kind of house will you build for
               Me?' says the Lord; ‘Or what place is there for My repose?’”


               Yahweh does not have feet that need to rest, nor a physical body to sit upon a throne. He is Spirit,
               and no man has seen Him at any time. When Moses was commanding the people of Israel at the end
               of his life, he spoke in this manner.


               Deuteronomy 4:15-18
               Take therefore good heed to yourselves; for you saw no manner of form on the day that Yahweh
               spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire. Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself
               an engraved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, the likeness of any
               animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky, the likeness of
               anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth...

               It is error to think that Yahweh resembles the human form. Yahweh has never revealed His form to
               man. To suggest that Yahweh has actual feet to rest upon a footstool is folly. It is equally folly to
               infer that Yahweh was intending to convey to Isaiah that the Earth is shaped like a footstool, or that
               the heavens are shaped like a throne. How does one envision the heavens in the shape of a throne?
               These are the types of foolish assertions the proponents of the flat-Earth theory are making, and they
               are equally as careless in their scientific arguments.

               Brothers and sisters, there are Biblical passages that describe Yahweh as having feathers and wings,
               but we would be mistaken to interpret these words literally and conclude that He has the form of a
               giant bird.


               Psalms 91:4
               He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge...


               That anyone can read a passage like this and deny that the ancient Hebrews were familiar with
               metaphors and figurative speech is indefensible. I have studied the Bible avidly since my childhood
               and I have come across no passage of Scripture that when rightly interpreted can be said to teach that
