And besides, and I think maybe this is why no one will post a flat earth map, which is it? A circle? Or 4 corners (a square or rectangle or rhombus)?

Much love!
Is a globe/ball spinning at 1,000 mph while huge oceans remain intact really something you should be CLINGING to - lol

Or, the FACT that God Said, "thus Saith the LORD: Man cannot search out the Foundations of the Earth BENEATH"

Which to you is more "ludicrous"

By the WAY, only one of those two statements is TRUTH

@David Lamb - which one???

Ocean tides match the movements of the sun and moon, but not in a flat earth model.

The sun and moon of the flat earth lack the ability to raise the oceans.

thus Saith the LORD: Man cannot search out the Foundations of the Earth BENEATH
You've misquoted the passage,

Thus says the LORD: “If heaven above can be measured, And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel For all that they have done, says the LORD.

How exactly does a round earth contradict this passage?

Gravity has NEVER been proven and cannot be proven = it is only a secular minded man's theory
Gravity not proven? Why do you think you don't fly off the planet? What are ocean tides from?

Why does your pencil fall when you drop it from your hand?

Gravity can be measured and accurately predicted.

They absolutely function on the Level Earth as God designed = Jeremiah 31:35-37
Thus says the LORD,....who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name:

Oceans would instantly rush over their land containments on a ball = simple facts that a child can know

A.) Is a globe/ball spinning at 1,000 mph while huge oceans remain intact really something you should be CLINGING to - lol

B.) Or, the FACT that God Said, "thus Saith the LORD: Man cannot search out the Foundations of the Earth BENEATH"

Which to you is more "ludicrous"

By the WAY, only one of those two statements, A or B, is factual TRUE

Speaking of taking license .. you are relying on your intellect to say what scripture has not said. Scripture actually does call the moon a lesser light.

And btw, scripture describes the earth as a circle ....not a ball or sphere. Thus, by your logic, the moon would more likely be a circle like the earth.
You have made many points and missed them all.
  1. It does not take "intellect" to see the similarities that God has put before us in the earth and the moon. So, you're wrong about me arriving at my statement by my "intellect."
  2. No, the scriptures do not describe the earth as a circle. I says "He who sits above the circle of the earth." But where is God, actually, physically "above?" No, that is not true, not biblical, and therefore cannot be used to promote an otherwise unfounded theory. It just means you're are wrong from the get go.
  3. No, the scripture does not "call the moon a lessor light." The scriptures say, "Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night." But what is the biblical definition of "light?" Is Christ "Moon of the world?" Is He the man in the moon? No, light in the scripture is "good" (opposed to evil)--and that is what He said, "And God saw that it was good." And the message--the message was again, not about the physical make up or form of the moon--it was about what "rule" is over the day and the night (over good and evil)...and that "rule" is "good"--that "rule" is God, day and night. You're wrong again.
Wrong on every point.

Everybody knows that the Earth revolves around on top of a Seals nose !

And yet, these uneducated men who's knowledge was limited to the beliefs of their time, somehow managed to make hundreds of prophetic statements, often with pinpoint accuracy, covering a wide variety of subject matter.

By the by, were you aware that the phrase "thus sayeth the Lord" is repeated 415 times in the King James bible?

From the time I met Christ over 30 years ago, I have received a great deal of inspiration, and on rare occasion, direct revelation. Not once have I ever dared to utter such a phrase as "Thus sayeth the Lord."

The prophets did indeed take dictation, and were wholeheartedly unapologetic in their communication of the words they received.

Prophets are not about knowledge levels they are ones that the message is dictated. Sill it does not matter who it was in the Bible if Yahweh or Yeshua or the Holy Spirit started to talk to them about the cosmos or DNA or Quantum Mechanics it would have just confused them.

Why are you still using this "spinning ball" nonsense as your reason and justification for your beliefs? Do you not understand that gravity on earth is a combination of centrifugal force compounded by the greater, outer centrifugal forces also in the universe and solar system? Or weightlessness--do you not understand how weightlessness works?

Here's a variety of flat earth maps, kindly posted for your thoughtful consideration.

The scriptures--by those same inspired words--do reveal a global earth...in the words: "shadow of turning" (James 1:17).

i never misquoted but i did abbreviate BECAUSE i have posted the entire Words of God many times on here.

So here it is again = lest i be accused again

Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day, who sets in order the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name:

36“Only if this fixed order departed from My presence,
declares the LORD,
would Israel’s descendants ever cease
to be a nation before Me.”
37This is what the LORD says:
“Only if the heavens above could be measured
and the foundations of the earth below searched out
would I reject all of Israel’s descendants
because of all they have done,”

Bother @marks, you should be REJOICING as i do in this Promise of God made directly at Satan and all who belong to him.

God is CHALLENGING Satan and the whole world to "search out the Foundations of the Earth and IF they can,
God will REJECT/CAST AWAY Forever the descendant's of Israel.

Shalom

You're really doing a lot of mental gymnastics to twist the simple Word of God. I'll pass on arguing over what xan clearly be seen in Scripture. For me, it is unnecessary, unprofitable, and a waste of time.

Brother i am rejoicing in this challenge as it reveals a Most Glorious Truth.

The shadow of turning is speaking of the sun above us and our shadow BENEATH the sun.

As the sun moves across the sky our shadow turns based on the fact that the sun is ABOVE us.

Now LOOK and SEE what the Holy Spirit Says here:
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
with Whom/the FATHER = there is no change or shifting shadow.

Can you SEE what the Holy Spirit is Saying to us!!!

Let me know

The typical glober response when faced with data which directly contradicts their previous statements and arguments.

Pick the lowest hanging fruit,
make fruit salad.

Wrong again. What I did was UN-twist the Words which are spirit and most commonly misinterpreted. The fact that you did not see that, is indeed clear enough.
