I don't have to resort to using scripture your logic falls on itself, yes scripture mentions the earth as a circle what it fails to mention is whether it is a flat one or not now doesn't it? You assume it means flat but what if it didn't mean flat after all it never said flat did it a sphere is also a circle after all, as for your whole waters thing perhaps I am missing something here but what does that have to do with it being flat or not I must have missed that part. Needless to say you can call it whatever you want but you know God gave man kind common sense it would not be wise to throw it out the window. Believing in scripture is good yes but God doesn't contradict himself the universe works in a certain order as he ordained it to your body works in a certain way as he ordained it to this is not mans tradition or worldly means it is just how God chose things to work
Even if if you can only have a circle a circle around a sphere to the writers in the day it was written it was likely the same thing, you have to understand that the bible was not written as a geographic book that was not it's intended purpose sphere or circle
Ok then lets go this route yes it does say circle but you know how I said the bible opens up in a whole new way in the original text and how the kjb is good but still doesn't compare to the original text? this is why

Yes the writer was the holy spirit but who was it written to? Isaiah was speaking to the Jews at the time of writing this and would speak to them in how they would understand just as how he would speak and write to them in their native language he also would be writing to them and for them yes we can read and the scriptures can speak to us the same but the wording is used specifically for a specific audienceThe Writter is the Holy Spirit thru the hand of man, the Holy Spirit knows very well the difference between circle and sphere, how can you try to say circle and sphere "likely" meant the same thing to the Holy Spirit back in the day? Friend, I think we can stop here, I don't want you blaspheming, so you can give it some time to process the information and decide later, it is no big deal.
Another great example the earth is a circle, this is the Hebrew circle, it means circle, just like the English circle, they are the same, circle:
[חוּג] verb draw round, make a circle (Aramaiccircumivit; noun, חוּגְתָּא, circle, vault of heavens)
Are you trying to say the Hebrew circle is different from the English circle?
actually upon further inspection it is hebrew that was my bad, however did you happen to look a little deeper into the word you used here? the first one does mean to draw round make a circle however did you continue to read on in the definition?The Writter is the Holy Spirit thru the hand of man, the Holy Spirit knows very well the difference between circle and sphere, how can you try to say circle and sphere "likely" meant the same thing to the Holy Spirit back in the day?

Every photo of the earth from space has been doctored. There is no photo of the earth from space that has not been.
Yes I have heard this before but what evidence that they have been doctored is there? How can you tell a real photo from a fake? have you actually done the research and proven they are fake for yourself or have you just gone off of what others have said? See I am one for evidence if one is to make such claims I want to know what evidence they have to believe this what brought them to their conclusion what research did they do to be able to prove it
Air pressure is a verifiable reality. The fact that air can support solids does not make air itself a solid.
רָקִיעַ means an extended surface, or expanse. Raqia comes from the Hebrew verb raqa, which means "beat," "stamp," "beat out" and "spread out," and does not necessarily refer to the beating out of a solid object, but to a spreading out process, whether the object is solid or not.
Are you suggesting that the Hebrews were right about everything all the time? Gosh. Read your Bible.
I trust you are aware that "firmament" is a transliteration from the Latin Vulgate, which was translated from the Greek Septuagint because Jerome could not read Hebrew.
