Motion is the antithesis of no motion, without "that which does not move" there is no understanding of that which does move.
I don't think you can define something in terms of its negation.
Saying everything is moving, which is what it seems you are inferring, is no different than saying everything is God.
You don't get to make such assertions without making the argument. This naked assertion rings in my mind as one of the dumbest things I've ever read!
Let's just think this through for a second. If saying that everything moves is equivalent to saying that everything is God then anything that moves is equivalent to God which is equivalent to saying that motion is that which makes something divine and therefore motion is God because the only thing that can make anything divine is God Himself.
What fool told you that and why did you believe it?
First of all, I didn't say, nor did I even suggest or imply, that everything moves.
And more importantly, motion - of anything - does not imply divinity.
Maybe you should read my post again and simply take it to mean what it actually says.
Cosmological relativism is no different than and is as irrational as moral or reality relativism.
Saying it doesn't make it so, David!
And no one even suggested "Cosmological Relativism" anyway - whatever the Hell that is.
The Word of God says the sun stood still, the word of God is true or it's not. Seems you've become liberal in your theology in order to accommodate globe cosmology.

David, if you ever make a single other statement anything similar to this stupidity you'll find yourself permanently on my ignore list and that will be the end of any conversations we might ever have had on this web site. I am not kidding. Do not test me on this if you want to ever speak to me again.
Statements in the Bible that are not
literally true...
Matthew 19:24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” (Metaphor/hyperbole)
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. (Generalization - common throughout Proverbs)
Matthew 3:5 Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him 6 and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. (Hyperbole)
1 Cor. 4:8 Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! You have become kings - and that without us! How I wish that you really had become kings so that we might be kings with you! (Sarcasm)
That's four examples, that I spent maybe ten minutes collecting. I could have listed forty or probably four hundred.
Further, as I stated in my last post, it was true, the Sun did stand still. In every way that matters within the context of that passage, including God's purpose for causing the event, it did, in fact, stand still. It is not necessary for the test to add the words "in the sky" for us to understand that that is the point being made because the Sun's motion in the sky is the only motion that anyone who was witness to the event would have understood existed. Thus the statement is entirely a true statement. Context is everything.
If your woodenly literal approach to this passage where at all valid, you would have to hold that not just the Sun and Moon move around the Earth once a day but that the entire Galaxy, indeed the whole of the Universe does the same.
