Philip,
You were quick to jump on this like a BA-er would, and it is
plausible...sounding. But, you are comparing apples to oranges, don't you
think?
That the sun does rise is a proper geocentric term taken literally.
That the moon is "new" each month is also a proper geocentric term taken
literally.
I make this statement due to the sense of the use of the word "new". Here
in the states it is a common thing to say one has a "new" car. Now that car
may be a 1992 clunker, but if it's something that person just purchased,
then it is still called "new". It is understood that the car is not really
"new" by the parties involved.
Likewise, you seem to only be allowing Jack one definition for the word
"new" here. The moon is new each month. That doesn't mean God created it
brand spanking "new" at that time. It is not a phenomenological language
issue at all; it is the simple fact that "new" has more than one dictionary
denotation.
Sincerely,
Gary
