Fun Fact: Go to 143rd word of KJV bible. Heaven is defined

When talking with a Christian, ask them if they believe their loved ones are in heaven. Tell them great. Have them go to the 143rd word (or so) and get the exact location for you. The raqiya (solid dome covering earth) is "heaven". Heaven is not above the raqiya, or below it. It is specifically the raqiya itself.
  The raqiya was defined as a solid dome for 1000s of years. Only recently have people started to try to redefine the word instead of as "dome or firmament" to "expanse". So make a point that it is important that the we don't want any modern definitions that did not exist then messing with the bible.

Faith - It is all about the reqiya

Christian belief is based on Original Sin. Original Sin comes from the idea of the sins of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2, but we have to go back to Genesis 1.

Genesis 1 is all about the creation of the universe per the bible story line. If someone wants to believe in the purpose of Jesus' resurrection from for the atonement of Original Sin. If atonement makes sense, then original sin makes sense, if that makes sense then raqiya makes sense.

Note the key to Christianity and accepting Jesus is the acceptance of the raqiya. Many apologists will attempt to explain raqiya with a more modern interpretation of "expanse" than the original interpretation of "Firmament" or Solid Dome.  So they have to decide is raqiya really old or is it new. If it is old then it is firmament, if it new, then does not really matter because they are discarding the old.

The key is to just stay with the original word raqiya and let the other people expose their interpretations. No need to interpret but work with the original word with its original meaning especially considering the original cosmology understood at the time.

Faith - Raqiya and Firmament

The most important part of the christian faith come from the Genesis. There are 2 parts to point out - Original Sin is critical and Original Sin was created under the Raqiya (Firmament).

"Raqiya`" pronounced "raw-kee'-ah". Hebrew word interpreted as "Firmament" or Dome.

Genesis (KJV)
1:6. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters
1:7. Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so.
1:8. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.

1:20. Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.”
