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

Also Quoting Dr. Rowbotham, “On the shore near Waterloo, a few miles to the north of Liverpool, a good telescope was fixed, at an elevation of 6 feet above the water. It was directed to a large steamer, just leaving the River Mersey, and sailing out to Dublin. Gradually the mast-head of the receding vessel came nearer to the horizon, until, at length, after more than four hours had elapsed, it disappeared. The ordinary rate of sailing of the Dublin steamers was fully eight miles an hour; so that the vessel would be, at least, thirty-two miles distant when the mast-head came to the horizon. The 6 feet of elevation of the telescope would require three miles to be deducted for convexity, which would leave twenty-nine miles, the square of which, multiplied by 8 inches, gives 560 feet; deducting 80 feet for the height of the main-mast, and we find that, according to the doctrine of rotundity, the mast-head of the outward bound steamer should have been 480 feet below the horizon. Many other experiments of this kind have been made upon sea-going steamers, and always with results entirely incompatible with the theory that the earth is a globe.”
Dr. Rowbotham conducted several other experiments using telescopes, spirit levels, sextants and “theodolites,” special precision instruments used for measuring angles in horizontal or vertical planes. By positioning them at equal heights aimed at each other successively he proved over and over the Earth to be perfectly flat for miles without a single inch of curvature. His findings caused quite a stir in the scientific community and thanks to 30 years of his efforts, the shape of the Earth became a hot topic of debate around the turn of the nineteenth century.

i love working with triangles and that is what should be used for what RR is presenting.
look at how similar my own mathematics are to what he should be using. mine is using trigonomics to discover the Right Angle, specifically sine - co-sine, tangent.
i will use this formula for simple things like this:
everyone who has ever changed a TIRE recognizes this pattern?
but to figure out a perfect 360 Circle, Trig is it.
to figure the earth, Trig is another great tool.

THIS IS HOW YOU PROVE SOMETHING, RR!
look at the bolt hole pattern blueprint
there's 6 bolt holes
now look at the very middle of that circle or bolt hole pattern.
now, take the TRIANGLE FORMULA in top picture and put the tip of the Corner that is written as the BIG C
put that point of the Triangle at CENTER POINT and slowly rotate it a full circle.
the Tip from Corner B should hit every point of the Bolt Hole
side note:
Corner A is how far you will go from center vertical and horizontal...where Corner B is always how big the entire Circle is [4 inches, 10 inches, 20 inches whatever]
but this is how you are able to PROVE what is Presented is TRUTH, because if taught correctly, EVERYONE can do it!
Sorry you missed the memo...
Read the thread title again and honestly ask yourself if "Does the Bible support the Ball Earth model?" is a valid Bible Discussion topic.
I will respect whatever @RoboOp and @Oncefallen decide to do - leave it, move it, delete it, whatever.
It would certainly be best if folks would keep the discussion close to the thread topic intent - biblical support for the Ball Earth model.
This is my interpretation of the thread title:
If no one can offer any biblical proof/support for the Ball Earth model - then, I think the thread topic has most definitely served its purpose very well!
I am not suggesting a mandate for the Bible to contain any such proof/support; however, since all-or-most will agree that the 'picture' that the Bible "paints" leans very heavily in the Flat Earth model direction, it stands to reason that it is the 'default'/'normal' place to start from. Hence, the thread topic intent is to show that - unless actual biblical support for the Ball Earth model can be shown - it is then-and-thereby resolved-by-default that there is none.

I did not even look at this post until I was notified you had mentioned me in it. IF you say this thread is bad, you are a person I respect. and will ask Admin to look at it. I am not able to remove threads anymore

For that no.. but there are other controversial issues such as the age of the earth, whether the earth is the center of the universe, countless books filled with worldly knowledge.. our senses are bombarded with lies from the evil one constantly.. but we have come to know the Truth through God's Holy Spirit.. Amen
P.S.: Thanks for the welcome.
