Yeah but what is the point of a flat earth? I mean.. so what if it's flat or round? It seems to me there are lot more important things to be investigating than whether the earth is flat or not. What is the point of a flat earth? I just don't get it.
Also, nobody's ever reached the end of the earth because it's round and not flat. If you continue going east you never end up at the west because the earth is round. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, because the earth is round. When you get to the north pole you can only go south no matter which way you go because the earth is round. When you get to the south pole you can only go north no matter which way you go because the earth is round. When it's summer in the northern hemisphere it's winter in the southern hemisphere because the earth is round. When day breaks on this side of the planet, night falls on the opposite side because the earth is round and moves around the sun. Yes, the earth is fixed and "immovable" - but fixed and immovable in relation to us and its orbit and to the sun. The earth will not bump itself out of its movable orbit because it's fixed and immovable in that orbit. This is why the your shade will move around when you stand still for hours on a sunny day. The earth moves around the sun in an orbit. When you fly 30,000 feet up in the air the earth appears spherical... because it is spherical. The bible talks of the circle of the earth, because it is round. The earth is round, not flat. Except in the Pirates of the Caribbean.
Hey, you can believe what you want and that's cool. I believe the earth is round, and that's also cool - and true.
If you love the truth, have courage and follow it wherever it leads you. Trust your senses. @ironshield
My senses say the earth is round. I do think it's an interesting topic for sure;
I just don't agree :)
Actually, my senses say the opposite. When I go in an airplane and look through the window, all I see is a flat horizon. All my other experience of the world has not told me in any way that it is round or that it moves. I'd be surprised if anyone's senses have told them differently, apart from the TV screens.
Another point you brought up is that Isaiah says 'circle', therefore it means round. Well, that's nice, but a plate is circular as well. There's a difference between a circle and a sphere. This is even more apparent when we look in other chapters in Isaiah, where he wrote the word for 'sphere, or 'ball'. Isiah knew the difference between a circle and a ball, and we cannot twist one to mean the other.
That's my personal opinion, it's ok to disagree. ^_^
