Do you really think that God inspired a man to incorporate a "false" Flat Earth belief into the creation week account in Genesis?
Some say that God Himself recorded the first part of Genesis. Some say it was Adam that recorded it. In any case, would God allow it to contain false information about His creation?
I do not believe it for a second. Of course - yes - I used to - because, I was taught it all my life. But, now? Of course not. It is really quite silly.
why has no one ever traveled to center point of flat earth face, then flew straight upward, and then taken a picture that shows ALL 7 Continents at one time.
if the Earth's surface is like a Dinner Plate, you can easily do what i suggested. in fact, it would be so easy, any idiot could do it.
Unless, of course, the words 'flat earth' happen to come up - then, you ridicule anyone who says those words and never give 'Flat Earth' a single serious thought - right?
The word 'you' in my statement was not referring to you personally. It was a general statement about how a whole world of people who say they believe in real science refuse to give one second of a real thought process to the Flat Earth model.

You are trying to change the subject. God did not give to His people technological know-how centuries or millennia in advance of "normal discovery". This is not about wisdom but about knowledge. They are related but different.
If you could get high enough, then - sure - you probably could take a picture of all continents at once. However, you should also remember the 'perspective'/'horizon' thing, too - at any given height, you can only see so far in the 'sideways' directions.
For those on Christian chat who claim to believe the earth has curvature, do you believe earth curvature can be measured, and, if so, how? Can you prove the earth has curvature?
Consider for a moment the technical capability of the people who penned the Scriptures. Would they have been able to ascertain that a planet is fundamentally distinct in nature from a star? Probably not. Generally, God did not give 21st-century knowledge to the ancient peoples. They would have perceived a planet as a bright spot ('star') that moves differently than other bright slots do. If you want to believe that is because it is actually a star, that's fine, but don't expect others to join you.
No I am not. You invented your own subject. I was talking about what the Bible says a 'planet' is. Your post that quoted mine is but an attempt to invent an excuse for how/why the Bible is wrong about it. (Whether you realize it consciously or not.)
God gave you the same 'knowledge' that He gave them - written in the scriptures. And, if there be anything else, you have more because of additional scripture not written yet at the time of some of these people centuries or millennia ago.
And, the question is - do you have the 'wisdom' (and the faith) to believe it [just] because He said it?
(Instead of putting your belief and faith in what modern man has come up with in the name of 'science'.)
Modern people in general are willing to put their belief and faith in what modern man has "discovered" in the name of 'science' - a great deal of which is Satanic - it did not come from God. You need to understand this and never forget it. MUCH of what you believe is a LIE.
I would strongly recommend that you read the thread title again and please try to stay within the context and intent of the thread in discussing whether or not there is biblical support for 'Ball Earth'. (And not just you, but everyone else also - me included.)

The Bible explains the rising and going down of the Sun in 7 places. that is a rotating earth all day long. if earth was flat, we would be on SAME TIME ZONE, it would be day all over earth and never night until day is finished. but still, when it is sunny at 4 pm here, it is black as night in Japan. if earth was flat, both Japan and where I live would have same sun at same time.
