I think you are make yourself quite clear, you don't believe the Bible to be factual and you say that the Prophets and Apostles have 'borrowed' from Egyptian and Babylonian mythology! Spoken like a true pagan 'Snail.
The ancient Hebrews had the Egyptians to the southwest and the Babylonians to the northeast. Both civilizations had flat-earth cosmologies. We also know that God's people spent much time in Egypt, and also spent time in Babylon. The Biblical cosmology closely parallels the Sumero-Babylonian cosmology, and it may also draw upon Egyptian cosmology.
So, you haven't fooled me with your talk about how you supposedly get your knowledge about the universe and science only from the bible. The truth is that you hold to a Ptolemaic geocentric view which is from Greek Philosophy, not the bible. Perhaps you are the pagan then 
. And you shamelessly misquote scripture to support the Ptolemaic view you hold to. If you did get your views from the bible alone, you would also believe in a flat-earth. Flat-earthers hold more literally and strictly to what the bible says than you do. Arguments that claim that the bible holds to a spherical earth and not a flat earth are weak, and are the product of modern invention from people who attempt to prove that the bible is not contradictary to modern day science.
Furthermore, your paranoia about NASA convinces me you are not of sound mind. One of the hallmarks of a Christian is a sound mind (2 Tim 1:7), Yet much of your statements about NASA etc indicates insanity. Not to mention your believing conspiracy theories including the myths about Tesla's EM work.

If you can point us to the verse where Jesus declared a geocentric earth model to His disciples in all his scientific importance, please do.
But you just said the Bible is non-scientific and non-factual and borrowed from pagan mythology, see how you condecendingly say about our Lord "in all his scientific importance" that is dorogatory, you 'Snail are a nasty little devil aren't you, showing your true colours now,.
I was not condesecending, I was making the point that Jesus did not declare any sort of scientific knowledge about the universe etc to his disciples, as far as I'm aware. Jesus did not come to Earth to be a scientist, and the bible was not written for scientific purpose, to satisfy your quest for scientific fact.. Yet you claim that they did in a previous statement:
quote:
and Christ and the Apostles and the Lord Most High Himself were just ignorant and backward and had no idea what they were talking about
So I ask again, please provide these quotes from the new testament where Christ or the apostles clearly and unequivocally presented a geocentric view. If you can't, then I prove my point.
Because I only see evidence of flat earth throughout even the new testament:
Rev 20:8 And he will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle. The number of them is as the sand of the sea.
Rev 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
And the word for quarter there is angle or corner as Strong's says. And there are four of them. Much harder for you to prove a spherical earth from those verses. Because a sphere only has two poles, north and south. How can an angel stand on a third and fourth corner with a spherical earth model? The only explanation for these verses is their symbolic or figurative meaning, not their literal one. And this is where you err. If you are spiritual and not carnal you should be able to interpret the true meaning of the passages about the earth in Isaiah and elsewhere and not be fixated with crazed ideas that are contradictary to modern-day scientific established fact.

No, you say that as a buffoon, not as a Christian. I am surprised though that you don't think the earth is flat and square shaped, afterall the bible does say the earth has FOUR corners:
That is lie 'Snail, a false accusation...you bear false witness against me, I along with the Bible state that the world is spherical, but you do lie and say that the Bible and I say that the world is flat, that is lie, which makes you a liar.
If we are going to play the 'who is a liar' game, actually it makes you a liar for not admitting that the bible says the earth has corners and the earth is flat, and basically claiming that the bible presents a Ptolemaic view which is from Greek philosophy, not the bible.
Christians know exactly what the Bible says, you are bearing false witness against God's word, you are accusing God of stating that the Earth is flat and that He is lying, that is not what the Bible says, what the Bible says is quite clear, anybody with the Spirit can understand perfectly well what Isaiah is saying.
I am simply misinterpreting the scriptures to prove a flat earth in the same manner in which you misinterpret scripture to prove a fixed earth and geocentric model. It's not so hard to do and takes minimal intelligence.
Quote:
And it cannot mean corners created by dicing a sphere, because this would have more than 4 corners, and spheres don't have corners.
from the ends of the earth, from the four quarters of the earth, from the pinnicles of the earth, from the earth's extremities,, the outer wings of the earth, the Earth uttermost parts!
Jer. 49:22 "Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings [#3671 kanaph]"
Isa. 24:16 "From the uttermost part [#3671 Kanaph] of the earth"
It says the four corners of the earth. The earth doesn't have outer wings either, it isn't a bird. The only plausable explanation is that FOUR corners means a rectangular shaped object, not a sphere. But if you want to disagree with what the bible says... you may have an interesting time at Judgement Day
