Hello. This is my first post. I have been doing a lot of researching on the flat earth model and I am not yet 100% sold but I'm leaning towards believing in it.
That said, I'm a hardcore Bible believer and I take the Bible seriously and for the most part literally. God revealed Himself to me when I turned to the Lord Jesus Christ and He showed me the Bible is His word. Not only does the Bible seem to read the earth is flat but that it is stationary.
I will never capitulate to what the world says or the prevailing worldview if it goes against God's word. You shouldn't either if you are a Bible believer as you know the devil deceives the whole world according to the book of Revelation.
Let's read what the Bible reads on this issue.
Isaiah 40:22:
‘It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers ….’
Why doesn't it read sphere of the earth?
Revelation 7:1 speaks of “four angels standing at the four corners of the earth.”
It makes more sense to have 4 corners outside a circle than outside a sphere. What do you think?
Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
It would be kind of awkward to have a spherical footstool as opposed to a flat footstool don't you think?
Isaiah 43:6 I'll say to the north, 'Give them up'! and to the south, 'Don't keep them back!' Bring my sons from far away and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
Job 28:24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
Job 37:3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
Isaiah 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
How can there be an ends of the earth in a spherical earth? It makes more sense in a flat Earth model.
Satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the Earth. How is that possible if the Earth is spherical? It would make more sense if the Earth were flat.
Daniel 4:
10 Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.
11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:
How can that be possible if the earth was spherical?
The New Jerusalem, as written in the book of Revelation, which is roughly 1,500 miles and shaped like a cube and would seesaw on a spherical earth. How would it be possible on a spherical earth?
In Psalms 74:17 reads God has established the borders of the earth. How can there be borders in a spherical earth?
Genesis 15:12...... "...and when the sun was going down..."
Matthew 5:45.... "...for He maketh His sun to rise...."
Over 60 scriptures that reads the Sun rises or goes down. Not one scripture reads the earth is spinning. Why is that?
If the earth really stopped spinning in the places the Bible says the sun stopped (Josh 10:12-13), or went backwards (Isa 38:
, it would have cataclysmal effects.It would have made Noah's flood look like a puddle. It would cause unfathomable earth disruptions, massive land shifts, immense earthquakes, spewing volcanos, etc.
Moreover it reads in Psalm 93:1: "Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm ..."
Psalm 96:10: "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable ..."
Psalm 104:5: "Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken."
Isaiah 45:18: "...who made the earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast..."
If the earth is immovable then it is not spinning and revolving around the sun.
The Bible reads the earth has pillars: When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm. — Psalm 75:3
For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he set the world upon them. — 1 Samuel 2:8
Having pillars don't make much sense for a spherical earth but for a flat earth it does.
Moreover it reads:
In the Biblical Creation there was no sun for the earth to go around until the fourth day! (Genesis 1:14-19)
The Bible reads in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth so the earth is special in God's eyes.
It is my belief that it was satan, the one who deceives the whole world, who is the one responsible for the Copernicus Revolution to make it seem man is insignificant and as if God doesn't exist or care. We are just on a rock in a random part of the Universe with no goal or purpose, right? That's what these Godless "scientists" would have us believe. But if the world knew the Earth was at the center of the universe one would have to be pretty blind to think this was all an accident. If the world knew the universe rotated around the Earth that would imply a Designer and a lot less people would reject Jesus Christ and end up in hell. Remember, the goal of satan is to keep people from believing the truth, who is Jesus Christ, at all cost.
