The Bible is to be taken literally. For earthly reasons you no longer believe this. I don't think I can get through to an unbeliever, especially in this setting. Sorry, but I must give up on you and do something productive and positive with my life.

That's probably a good idea. I hope I never become the kind of "believer" you have become. LOL

It's your responsibility to present evidence against the current model of the universe and earth. Now you're just being disingenuous. And a couple of grainy videos showing an alleged bubble is far from proof. The electric universe model has more merit than your flat earth one imo.

.........And certainly better evidence to back up their claims.

They ask for evidence.

So we ask; what does the Bible say?

Yes and the direct observation of billions of people contradict it. Different stars are visible in the southern hemisphere, rotating in the opposite direction, and at the equator rotating parallel to it.

guess the perforated dome is rotating. only there's a discontinuity trying to map what the sky actually looks like to a frisbee. so that's right out.

unless the disc earth is two sided - is that y'alls story? with the equator on the edge of the disc, and the southern hemisphere on the other side of it? i think that might work to make reality match your story, as far as the sky goes.

Lots of doctrines of man and mockery here, but not much Bible though.

What does the Bible say on the matter?

Was the Bible written for vanity?

Should we trust men and not God?

Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?

Well the first question you asked was OK, which I will answer now, The shape of the Flat earth is a circular disk and that disk may or may not sit inside of a square or rectangle IDK I'm not God and our researchers aren't exactly honest.

The second question is the one that is ridiculous and I decided to ignore, you want me to tell you what exists on the edge of the universe. IDK Do you know what exists at the edge of the place where the Big bang occurred?

You realize, don't you, that those very words negate the plainly Biblical statement that there are "four corners" to the Earth? (NOT the imagined container the Earth sits within.)

Pretty soon you will have the Earth traveling on the back of a giant turtle.

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

Yes the lilies don't toil nor spin their beautiful garments indeed lol.

At least you gave it a shot I'll give you a like for that.

Now how about that earth? Does the Bible say it spins or does the Bible say it is established that it does not move?

Be honest now.

Well I did say that I would stop engaging you because you are a lost cause, but I'm a sucker for defending myself from unjust claims.

If you increased the font for my entire sentence, instead of selecting less than half of it, you would see I stated that the circle may or may not sit inside of a square or a rectangle. I use the language may or may not because I refuse to claim to know what relationship the circle has with the square/rectangle.

I am glad you are starting to take The Bible literally and dismiss science with it, if only we could get you to aim that discernment at your currently accepted beliefs.:)

Where do I get the circle from if your verse states four corners?

Here

Isaiah 40:22 ►King James Bible
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

I believe both Verses literally, but I am unable to completely understand the relationship between the two at the moment.

Where is the attachment point on your disk that the earth is hung on in Job 26:7 ? I'd think that would make finding "North" (where the empty space is) kind of problematic.

E=mc2 isn't in the Bible. Is that a man made construct as well? Or is it legit science not found in scripture?

Yeah it is a man made construct, if you subscribe to Flat Earth theory, you believe all of Einsteins contributions are false. Even the eclipses he measured would be different considering the alternative model. You see what I mean, I teach you the theory step by step!
