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

why oh why again.

You would be better paying attention to a different field, as this field of discussion isn't your best.

Maybe you would be best suited to a comedian and study the joy of the lord.

You do seem to have a sense of humour.

Other than that I would suggest you learn to walk before you run, racerunner 😋.

Maybe run a new race and seek the lord for every answer, as I imagine someone so sharped tounges as you are could be useful to the lord.

But quit saying the first thing that comes into your head, as knowledge can come from assholes too,

One day you're gonna be soooo ashamed - that you refused to believe God at/in His Word.
We'll see, Gary..

I agree with you that from the Bible writers' point of view the earth was flat. It's what they thought, and God worked with them according to their understanding.

In order for a "ball earth conspiracy" to be true, do you understand how many people/governments/organizations would have to be in on it? Most people aren't stupid. The universe is vast, we've been to the moon, satellites exist, the sun is ~93 million miles away, etc, etc.

That, however, does not guarantee that 'circle' in the Bible is referring to that.
no but then seeing as every other plannet is in the shape of a circle, I think we both know what that means.

The only plausible argument for flat earthers, that I can see, is when you go out to space and look at the earth your seeing a reflection of the earths atmosphere as the sun reflects of it, or when the sun reflects light onto the moon then onto the side of earth where the sun isn't.

But no there are pictures of of earth too when the sun is not passing over that region. It's the same shape.

Anyhow carry on teaching people to deny what scripture clearly teaches.

Flat earthers say the earth doesnt have any curve but Isaiah teaches the earth is a circle.

What your encouraging is people to go and listen to conspiracy experts,

Something race runner keeps running to.

So we'll done for that 👍

22 It is He Who sits above the circle of the earth, and whose inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who stretches out the heaven like a curtain, and He spread them out like a tent to dwell. כבהַיּשֵׁב֙ עַל־ח֣וּג הָאָ֔רֶץ וְיֹֽשְׁבֶ֖יהָ כַּֽחֲגָבִ֑ים הַנּוֹטֶ֚ה כַדֹּק֙ שָׁמַ֔יִם וַיִּמְתָּחֵ֥ם כָּאֹ֖הֶל לָשָֽׁבֶת:

The Hebrew word 'חוּג' (chug) means "circle" or "ring." In Yeshayahu (Isaiah) is most commonly used to refer to the shape of the Earth, spherical.

I believe that God is capable of doing anything He wants to do. And, whatever He might choose to do would be 'grand' - there is no doubt. However, I also believe that what God has actually created has a kind of 'grandeur' that is greater than the 'vast universe' idea.

What will really blow your mind - and 'terrify' you - is when you discover just how easy it was for Satan to deceive the whole world... ;)
What also blows my mind is the frightening lack of wisdom within the body of Christ. Some of the opinions I read here, and I don't just mean flat earth, are positively stunning.

In order for a "ball earth conspiracy" to be true, do you understand how many people/governments/organizations would have to be in on it?
Not nearly as many as you might think. Governments, yes. Organizations, yes. But, not necessarily all of the people within them. Only those at the top and other 'select' individuals as necessary. All of them are either willingly complicit or coerced by those in power.

Most people aren't stupid.
Most people are [simply] deceived. They do not know any better...

But, the smart ones "do their own research" until they "wake up" to the truth about the world they live in. They "escape the MATRIX" and free their mind. They [then] see and understand the world as it really is.

The universe is vast, we've been to the moon, satellites exist, the sun is ~93 million miles away, etc, etc.
I will agree to one thing in this list - that 'satellites' do exist - [but only] hanging on balloons floating above the earth.

that's comes from argumentative conspiracy theorists marking people who don't believe as they do with the mark of the beast.

Yeah outstanding that one 👍

Did you not learn anything from the whole COVID episode?????

How many people in trusted positions in medical fields decided to "screw the world population" so that they could keep their job?

How many of them were (and still are) actually complicit with the New World Order agenda from the start?

I do not think you understand the human condition nearly well enough...

so now the matrix movie is your motive for rationalizing.

🤔 That's far gone.

In the Bible, 'planet' means 'wondering star'. That is enough for me to know what it means - a 'planet' is actually a star.

The only plausible argument for flat earthers, that I can see, ...
I believe that the 'circle of the earth' is referring to either the 'ice ring' or where the 'dome' rests upon the earth.

I know we're heading for a one-world order, and that evil exists in high places and is basically running the show.

I appreciate your zeal and attempts to "defend" the Bible, but defending FE is simply ridiculous..

It does not mean 'spherical' - it means 'circle'.

I would be the first to tell you that you should look at every post as simply someone's 'opinion'. From that perspective, I agree that everything is just 'opinion'. However, looking at it from a different perspective - you would do well to investigate some of those "opinions" - you just might be "stunned" at what you discover about the true nature of the world you live in.

Might the same be true for you, Gary?

All metaphor friend.

What does a wondering star have to do with the shape of a planet ?

Firstly plannets can be explained as wondering as they move,

or even a star because the sun bounces of them.
Venus looks like a lantern when you see it with the naked eye.

But close up with the James web far from it.

But if they wondered away we wouldn't be here. They all wonder in the same direction around a star.

Science càn actually calculate with mathematics and pin point accuracy when the next eclipse will be.

That must mean something.

But to be honest this thread is wondering round in circles and me with it,

The 'matrix movie' is useful as a tool to illustrate or relate certain ideas or things in a way that will help people understand the real world.

It's a bit like saying follow me
I do not want people to follow me - I want them to follow God/Jesus.
