Actually the earth is square. The bible throughout talks about the 4 corners of the earth.
You cant have a corner in a circle or a flat grade. Corner is horizontal to vertical.

Ever think that the "northern skies" that He is "stretching" is referring to the dome?

The earth "hangs on nothing" in the FE model.
Do you have a map for this flatness? Where are the continents placed?
Do you have a compass which works for a flat-earth model?
Why does day/night length vary with season except near the equator?
How do lunar eclipses work with a flat planet?
Why aren't the other planets all flat too?

Yes. And why isn't a mile in the tip of South America longer than a mile in northern Canada?

Here is an exercise in observation and critical thinking. The short video below is intended to support the Ball Earth model and "debunk" the Flat Earth model. Yet, it actually does the exact opposite.

Can you tell me why?


This video [blatantly] "lies" about something. What is it?

The illustration "leaves out" something critical to its own case - without which, renders it moot. What is it?

If you cannot "see right through" the illustration in this video - and understand that the true reality is, in a way, "backwards" from what is put forth in the illustration - then, your observation skills and critical thinking skills are perhaps not as good as you think...

I am only trying to get you to do your own research and think it through very carefully.

You don't take a metaphor and convert it into a geographical fact. What about "the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other" (Mt 24:31)? Is that not a metaphor?

Grabs popcorn, lol. Always intrigues me how anyone would think it flat. But hey, just pray you flat earthers don't fall off the edge, lol. Sorry, just being silly.

Why is this even a question on here?
Leaving aside trolling, from what I’ve read the reason is because people don’t trust authorities and because of the rise of the internet it has enabled them to get more extreme to the point of stupidity.
Conspiracy theory folks and such.

Both.

Depends on where you are.

My chair is resting on a flat place.

It is possible to fall off the edge of my chair. :geek::coffee:

Does it spin like a quarter when you hold it and thump it with your finger or does it spin like a Frisbee when you throw it? Should the Moon not appear at first at night not seen and in the dark and then progressively become an crescent Moon until it is directly overhead and your looking at it's bottom,And then afterwards become an full Moon as it sets in the West night after night day after day?

Everybody knows that Hebrew corners are round. :confused:
We speak of an east, west, north, and south. Most of understand, but a few get boggled by it. o_O
