Contrary to popular opinion, the Earth doesn't have an elliptical orbit of the sun. The Earth-sun radius is, for all practical purposes, constant.
Earth-sun Radius
Ellipses
Direct observation from Earth is that the planets appear to have elliptical orbits around the Sun. We observe this planetary system orbit the Earth every day. That means that the Earth is f1, the Sun is f2 in the elliptical orbits.
Kepler’s Laws
Kepler's laws don't prove heliocentricity, they prove that the sun is at one focus of elliptical planetary orbits. The Earth is the other focus. Kepler couldn't find the second focus because he was standing on it.
Tradition
Obviously the earth isn't flat, therefore, the Spirit of Truth can't lead you to that conclusion. It's very simple, God isn't going to expect you to believe something that's obviously wrong.

The enormous crowd may be more familiar to us as a great multitude, and the terrible persecution is where we find the phrase "great tribulation." They stand before the throne on the sea of glass.

It's Christmas Day when we look to Jesus and the promises of what is coming for those who believe. We ponder heavenly things including what the sea of glass may really be.
Eclipses
Presented as proof of heliocentricity. Eclipses of the sun or moon are observed from the earth. The phenomenon is caused by an alignment of the sun, moon and earth, or the sun, earth and moon. They are predicted using historical observations that were also made from the earth. The phenomenon is both inherently and empirically …

Geocentric and Heliocentric Systems
The original article is a dead link. Fortunately I have a screen shot of a smoking gun quote which illustrates the circular reasoning necessary in the use of stellar parallax to prove heliocentricity. Spot the circular reasoning "If the earth moves around the Sun, then the apparent positions of the stars must change between January …
