1Ti 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: :21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace [be] with thee. Amen.

 
     

Psa 104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

The moon orbits the earth every 24 hours and 50 minutes

The moon orbits the earth in about 24 hours and 50 minutes. This is called a lunar day.  The resultant orbital lag between the sun and the moon causes the phases of the moon—and the TIDES.

 

 It is the moon’s close proximity to us and the relatively strong gravitational effect it has on the earth that causes the OCEAN TIDES to follow the moon’s lunar schedule of 24 hours and 50 minutes per cycle. In about one month, the sun and moon are again synchronized, and as a result, we have the new moon and the cycle repeats all over again.

 

 

 

The moon orbits the earth every 24 hours and 50 minutes. Like the sun, the moon follows a north-south spiral, but unlike the sun, this movement takes ONE MONTH.

In a stationary earth, the moon HAS to orbit the earth about every 24 hours. Every night at full moon, everybody on earth can see the moon rise in the east and set in the west in a 12 hour period but they are told to attribute this motion to the moving of the earth. Here is a quote about the moon from the final authority, the Encyclopedia Britannica:

"The Moon rotates about its own axis in 27.322 days, which is also the time that it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth. As a result, the Moon always presents nearly the same face to the Earth. Whereas the actual rate of rotation is uniform, the distance through which the Moon moves in its orbit from day to day varies somewhat. Accordingly, the face that the Moon turns to Earth is subject to a corresponding cyclical variation, the lunar globe oscillating slightly (as seen over time by a terrestrial observer) with a period nearly equal to that of revolution. The amount of this apparent oscillation, which is called libration, is commonly between 6 and 7 degrees."

(New Encyclopedia Britannica, vol. 17, p. 299).

 

The moon is believed to be composed of some highly reflective material that

acts like a mirror. Like the sun, the moon follows a north-south spiral, but unlike

the sun,this movement takes ONE MONTH.

 

 

 

 

The phases of the moon
 

Everybody who looks up at the moon can see that it presents a different shape or face throughout the month. These different faces are called PHASES OF THE MOON. Since Galileo and Kepler, here is the way the "scientific" community explains the different phases:

This is man's explanation for the phases of the moon:

In this typical heliocentric diagram of the phases of the moon the sunlight is coming from a stationary sun and the moon takes a MONTH to orbit the earth.

 

  

This is a typical heliocentric explanation of the phases of the moon. Notice that the sun is STATIONARY so the earth MUST do the turning.

In this scenario, the moon is moving very, very slowing around the earth taking ONE MONTH to complete a revolution.

The moon is supposed to move at a speed of about 2,000 mph or about 13 degrees to an observer on earth.

At new moon, the moon will be in front of the sun for about 3 days. At full moon, the earth will be between the sun and moon for about 3 days also. 

 

            

 

How eclipses of the moon are caused

When the moon moves between the sun and the earth it casts a shadow or umbra on the earth, blocking or partially blocking our view of the sun. This is called a solar eclipse.

 

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching the earth.

  Notice how the "scientific" community describes a solar eclipse exactly as they describe a new moon phase of the moon.

Real solar eclipses are very rare and last at the most 10 minutes but with the moon traveling SLOWLY in front of the sun we should get a big solar eclipse every new moon.

When the earth moves between the sun and the moon, it casts a shadow on the face of the moon, blocking or partially blocking our view of the moon. This is called a lunar eclipse.

 

A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth blocks the light from reaching the moon.

  According to the heliocentric theory, a lunar eclipse works exactly as the phases of the full moon.

The earth is 4 times larger than the moon so with the slow moving moon we should get a lunar eclipse every full moon and it should last at least a couple of days!!
