What about these verses makes a flat, stationary earth impossible?
Genesis 1:
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Everything in these verses fits wonderfully into the Flat Earth model - not so well with the Ball Earth model.
Have you noticed that God put the sun, moon, and stars in the firmament...?
Do you know what the 'firmament' is?

To add psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west. So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Ever notice how north and south are not used in the global since in the Bible. For if you travel north. You will reach a point at the pole. A person starts to travel south… Jesus knew the world was round. And others of that time.

That's actually a really good question, I had to do a google.
It looks like firmament is the glass sky or heaven. Look out all world views, flat earth is on attack! lol
Concave Hollow Earth still hanging on with the glass sky in it's model. Oh yeah!
"In biblical cosmology, the firmament is the vast solid dome created by God during his creation of the world to divide the primal sea into upper and lower portions so that the dry land could appear.[1][2] The concept was adopted into the subsequent Classical/Medieval model of heavenly spheres, but was dropped with advances in astronomy in the 16th and 17th centuries. Today it survives as a synonym for "sky" or "heaven"."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firma...logy, the firmament,the dry land could appear.
