The House that Jesus Built: The Biblical Shape of the Earth, An Intelligent Alternative Design

by Matt Long, Matt Long

It is said that the Bible is not a science book. That is true. Science books were written by men attempting to describe the things of God, while at the same time, removing God from the equation. The Bible does not function on such illogic. It has never issued a second, third or fourth edition. The Bible does not waiver or change based on scientific trends or theories of the day, for the Bible is ultimate truth and ultimate truth cannot change. According to John 1, Hebrews 1 and Colossians 1, Jesus is the maker of all things and Romans 1 says that we can get to know the Creator through the things that were made. If Jesus is the Creator and we can get to know the Creator through creation, should we not study what that creation is according to scripture? After all, Jesus himself disagreed with modern scientific claims. The fact that Jesus disagreed with modern science should not scare us as modern Christians. It should empower us to investigate the claims of modern science, knowing that if the two disagree, there is likely an evil cultural agenda at play, through the devil’s use of our traditional media, social media and established scientific community. Years of research across many different biblical topics has yielded me two undeniable facts. One, the experts are not any closer to the available evidence than we are, and two, the Bible is never wrong. In addition, if we can use this available evidence to disprove modern science’s claims through simple experimentation, does this not give us the right to speculate on other theories?We should all be more apt to lend credence to ancient accounts written by eyewitnesses over creating entire belief systems based on bias interpretations of numbers, readings and measurements, especially when those interpretations go against the scriptures and are in direct opposition to the experiences of our daily lives. Ultimately, we must choose whether theories backed by scripture, logic and experimentation are sufficient enough to trust our senses over culturally inspired artwork we see on screens or in textbooks.

Pure idiocy.

Having been familiar with Matt Long and WOKETOWN, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A great quick read that lays out clearly the creation of this house that Jesus built for us. Just as Matthew 7:7 counsels us, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”, is very relevant today. Always question was is being told to you. God will reveal the truth, if ye seek it out with full intent.

This is an excellent book for anyone who is new to the biblical shape of the earth, being flat. It's not overly complicated, down to earth, and easy to follow.

However, the reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the author uses different versions of the Bible. There is only one true word of God that's preserved and pure being the King James Bible, Psalm 12:6-7 (KJB). When folks go around cherry-picking verses from different versions of the Bible it shows who their authority is, which is themselves. It also looks like an agenda is attempting to be met rather than solely relying on God's word and authority for truth.

I can still receive the same explanations when referring to my King James Bible for the verses in this book that are not from the King James Bible, so I would still highly recommend this book! Great read.

In the 2nd edition, the author has removed the plan of salvation out of the book at the end, which is completely unnecessary. The Gospel, how that Jesus dying on the cross for all of our past, present, and future sins and rising from the grave so we can too, a free gift if we recieve it, (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Ephesians 6:8-9), saves us, not the shape of the earth. That is the fruit of being your own God. He has also made some other subtle changes because of his social media and websites being scrubbed, so he has provided some other sources for any further questions and help.

This is bad Bible study and even worse science. He doesn't understand figurative or metaphorical language that is used in the Bible. There are no citations for any for the "experiments" he references. He says the moon is the source cold light(i.e. makes things colder)...this is demonstrably false. Light is energy and all energy transfers have heat loss, mean heat is produced. This is a proven law of physics. Please don't be fooled by his gaslighting in the introduction.

Good Read

Good book, it is pretty balanced, good research by author, I appreciate and long for truth. I pray the church wakes up. One pastor I know said what difference does it make if the earth is flat … wow

Kept my interest

Seemed to give some great support of the Bible as well as flat earth evidence.., I really liked this quick read 👍

A well thought out defense of the sufficiency of scripture as well as the biblical account of cosmology. Fewer than 100 pages, so it can likely be read in a single afternoon.
