Does the Bible support the idea of a spinning ball earth flying through space, or is that a Satanic, Masonic lie?

No, I have not seen it - but will try to watch it sometime soon when I can make time for it.

If ball-Earthers had seen even half of the fraud committed by NASA, I don't think they would be so confident promoting their ball-Earth deception.
Our position is not based on anything NASA has produced, so your statement is fallacious.

I'm not sure whether to laugh any more, or grieve.
Laugh. Round earth is a thing of the past. Someone put a pin in that theory. I'm just waiting to see who takes credit.
Until someone is willing to take me up into nonexistent space or supply me with a record setting jumping bovine, I'm going with the doughnut theory. Many people have seen right through my theory but none have been willing to fund my expeditions so I remain a sceptic.

You see - without realizing it, you are force-wrapping your understanding of scripture around your "understanding" of modern-day "science" - assuming that all you have "learned" from modern-day teaching is true without question. Therefore, you assume that [certain things] in scripture must be figurative - that [they] cannot possibly be literal.
It seems that [most] Ball Earth folks have a strong tendency to do this. And, unfortunately, it robs them of much correct knowledge. All because they are not willing to accept what scripture says in its own context while swallowing whole - "hook, line, and sinker" - anything/everything that they are taught/told by the secular world system. :(

If you so much as have a true desire to know the truth and are truly willing to try to gain a proper interpretation and understanding of these 'cognitive dissonance' types of Bible verses/passages, then you are "way ahead of the rest" of those who choose to "take the easy route" rather than "take the bull by the horns" and seek the truth. Those who are not willing to "do the hard work" will get a poor return on their [lack of] investment.

If you were not taught all of the 'disinformation' that you have been inundated with all of your life, you would not have any problem believing that one day stars will fall from heaven. But, since you have been taught that stars are a million billion trillion jillion times the size of the earth - you have a difficult time making sense of what scripture says. However, scripture contains correct knowledge. And, you have to be willing to trust in that knowledge. And, anything that disagrees with it should be seriously re-evaluated.

If you want to obtain the proper interpretation and understanding of scripture, you must learn how to suspend everything you think you know about anything relative to the topic you are studying - assuming nothing - so that you may properly discern what scripture is actually saying to you.

When studying the Bible, you need to first make sure you understand the answer to the question:

"What does it say?"

before you try to answer the question:

"What does it mean?"

It is the 'saying' part of it that I am speaking of here. Yes - at some point, you start "adding back in" the other things that you have suspended temporarily; however, the first step requires that you not allow anything you have learned concerning the study topic interfere with the proper discernment of what the verse/passage you are studying is saying. What it means comes later. And, if you do not have the first part right - everything else after that falls into error.

For the writers of the Bible, the earth was flat. It's what they thought, and the Bible is written from that perspective.

To believe today that the "ball earth" is a giant conspiracy theory is nothing but willful ignorance.

Matthew 24:

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

So - when Jesus states plainly that stars shall fall from heaven - you are just not willing to believe it?
