The Bible Was Right. The Earth Is Flat.

Scripture is replete with a multitude of clear references to the Earth being not a globe suspended in space, but a flat surface. Just a few of these descriptions would be:

1.) In Matthew 4:8-9 Idiot Satan taking Jesus up on a very high mountain to show Him "All the kingdoms of the Earth." A globe Earth would not permit such a perspective, but a flat Earth would.

2.) Genesis 1:6-8 has the original Hebrew Text word for "dome," which is the shape of the firmament above the flat Earth.

3.) 1 Samuel 2:8 and Job 9:6 speak of the "pillars" of the Earth, which would not be within a solid sphere.

These three points should be enough for this little introductory discussion, just to get your sensitive and heretofore gullible hearts started onto the path of Biblical Cosmology. There is much more Scripture to know about regarding the Earth, none of which speak of a spheroid Earth.

Some science to be given for those here who like the idea of science helping them figure things out in life would be:

1.) Gyroscopic navigation successfully used for decades would not be possible upon a spinning globe Earth. The reference gyros would continuously precess and move as the globe Earth spins. Planes, ships, and missles would crash.

2.) A globe Earth would not continuously spin around the Polaris star, as the Earth hurtles in three axis motion through space in the Solar System, Galaxy, and Galaxy Cluster, all moving at millions of miles per hour.

3.) There exist no actual photos of the Earth taken from space vehicles. All NASA Earth images from them are admitted by them to be "composite images" artificially produced. As well, those images never show sky blue atmosphere around the Earth as we see it from the Earth.

4.) A thousand mph surface speed at the spinning equator of a globe Earth would have long ago forced all of the crustally mobile continents to move to the equator. But, this has not happened.

5.) There is no physical mechanism to cause the Earth's atmosphere to spin at the same rate as the surface of a spheroid Earth. The wind at the equator of a globe Earth should be supersonic, but it is not.

It will serve no purpose for yourself or any purpose within this discussion for you to become emotionally upset, attitudinally snarky, or full of ad hominem when you try to post your thoughts. Try to honor The Lord and His Bible with manly and efficacious statements. Thanks for your cooperation.

Remember, Jesus loves you so very much He will protect your heart from informational anguish when facing Truth. "Thy Word is Truth."

And how do you see a flat piece of wood spinning in space? Would that not blow the atmosphere away from us?

There is much more Scripture to know about regarding the Earth, none of which speak of a spheroid Earth.

"He sitteth upon the circle of the earth." Isaiah 40:22

It's easy to confound those who slander God and His Bible. Because "Thy word is truth." Right? Right.

But,, the scripture that we all (Christians) should turn to when reading your posts is, Jude 4.

Job 26:10 (ESVST) 10 He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.

A circle is round, isn't it?
That depends upon perspective.
Viewed on edge, it's just a flat line.....unless there's a large mass nearby to complicate things.

That's a good one, I forgot about that verse.

Isa 40:22 (ESVST) 22 It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;

Really!!?? Is there any way to look at a circle where it does not look round? Viewed on edge? Does a circle have an edge?
Yeah. Same with any 2 dimensional object it's going to just be an edge from a handful of angles. A circle by definition has only two planes, top & bottom.

Oh, yeah....circles have edges.
