Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

The bible NEVER actually says the word "pi". To say that the bible tells us that pi=3 is a lie, since the bible never actually mentions "pi", does it?

Pi is nothing more than a value given to the relationship between the circumference of a circle to the diameter. The value of pi has NOTHING to do with cubits, or any unit of measurement for that matter. Someone, somewhere observed that in ANY circle, the circumference divided by the diameter gives a value of 3.1415926535... and we gave this value a name: Pi

1 Kings 7:23 describes a circle ten cubits in diameter and thirty in circumference. Pi is circumference divided by diameter. Thirty divided by ten equals three. Therefore Pi equals three.

1 Kings 7:23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

OK, say the Bible doesn't use the word pi. However it does tell us the relationship between the circumference and the diameter of a circle. What would you call that?

Pah! God said the length across a circle is 1/3 of the way around the circle. Have you ever tried to measure around a circle? The tape measure always bends funny or springs off or gets kinked and ruined.

I'm pretty impressed that whoever had to measure all those circles got as close as they did. They were only off by a little bit. Someday, they'll figure out a better way to measure, and then I bet they get a perfect 3:1 ratio!

You dont need to use a measuring tape to measure the circumference of a circle
1) Take a cup, or plate, or anything circular
2) Make a mark on it so you know where you start
3) Roll it on a table along side a ruler, and see what the circumference comes out to
4) Measure the diameter, and divide the first number by the second
5) Tell me what you get

Or just believe in your Lord God, believe the Bible and go to Heaven while laughing at all the fools in Hell who were too bothered (while they were alive) about trying to look clever in front of other credulous idiots.

Why would He have made the circumference 3.145...... times the diameter when He can make it a nice round 3?

Proverbs 20:10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord.

No TRUE Christian(tm) would test God!!!

If you do test God, then I hope God gives you the wrong answer so you burn in Hell for all eternity. Only people who believe without evidence deserve to go to Heaven.

Then why have I seen COUNTLESS threads on this forum about testing things that the bible says? TESTING if the earth is flat, TESTING that gravity exists, TESTING how far away stars are, etc.

To weed out the skeptics, so none of them make it into Heaven, of course. God hates skeptics. See John 3:18. It wouldn't be fair to the pure of heart if a bunch of people who would have doubted had they been entrapped make it upstairs for no reason other than that they weren't tested.

I said no TRUE CHRISTIAN™ would test God. No True Christian™ would need to administer those tests either. Only a doubter would test God.

Tests are crutches for the weak.

Friend, we are not testing, we have been proving His Word is True. By His actions and Majestic Words, we have been given unparalleled purity of Truth. We know pi =3. You do not. So we are forced to show you. Simple as well, pie.

God hates skeptics.
You are skeptical of my claims.
Therefore, God hates you?

You are taking my words out of context. I showed you John 3:18, which shows the sort of skeptics that God hates. Obviously being skeptical of skepticism is acceptable. That is just valuing faith. Stop playing word games and get back on topic, lest you receive an infraction from your betters.

Pi is three. Mathematicians doubted the Bible, and God is laughing at them because they can't figure out the circumference of a circle is thrice its diameter. If they had only believe God, this would not be happening.

Re: Pi Calculated to 4.5 billion decimal places

Actually, this is all irrelivant. I dont care whether you mark me as a skeptic, because I am right. Are you also denying the fact that the angles of a triangle add up to 180? Circumference divided by diameter is mathematically correct to be 3.14..., no if and or but. All circles follow this rule, they always have and always will. It's like arguing that a rectangle doesn't have 4 sides.

The sum of triangle angles is not relevant to my Salvation because it is not in the Bible. So, whatever they add up to, I am not expected to know.

If I were you, I would be worried about the eternal fate of my soul, not triangles. Why don't you believe what the Bible says? Because some secular mathematicians told you it was wrong?
