And, yet, science shows us that it does. The main issue is the continual failure by flat-earthers to distinguish between and so properly interpret different genres of scripture. That's why none of you can provide any explanation as to why you believe the earth is a flat disc rather than a polygon. I doubt that any of you can provide an explanation for a lunar eclipse or why the earth isn't always lit up everywhere (if, as was stated earlier, the sun is 3,000 miles above the earth, the majority of the surface of the earth would be lit up at all times).

The main problem is a lack of understanding of Scripture, which then leads to obviously false conspiracies about science, as that is the only way to explain away wrong theology on the matter.
FYI - i DO NOT believe the earth is a "flat disc"

GOD Says the earth is so DEEP that man could NEVER find its Foundations = Jeremiah 31:37
That makes the shape of the earth UNKNOWN to man.
It also makes the earth perhaps thousands or even hundreds of thousands MILES DEEP.

From Genesis to the Gospel, the earth is described as being a planar surface where mankind dwells = on top.

and the reason ALL the equator at sea level NEVER has snow or ice yet ALL the North Pole does is ?

Never do the scriptures mention the earth being thrust or hurled in a circuit around the sun. And yet, the sun and moon have circuits and move ....and can be made to stand still in the sky. God would've said the earth stood still if that is what was needed to make the sun and moon to seem not to stand still.
Joshua said stop the sun and moon. God did it. But the mechanism isn't given — the text says what happened in the sky, not what moved to make it happen.

A flat earther will say the sun stopped moving. A globe believer will say the earth stopped spinning. Both produce the same thing in the sky, and the verse doesn't say which.

So this verse isn't evidence for either one.

Hello Peter,
Thank you for your response.
i am not adequate to answer more specific questions as such.

What i know and place my trust in is our Heavenly FATHERS words = WATER and more

Peter, better then a tennis ball(and easier to construct) would be to:
a.) use a standard size globe earth that we have in class rooms throughout the world.
b.) It has all the land masses and oceans already on it
c.) just cut out where the oceans are and make it deep enough to hold water - with a bottom.
d.) fill with water and spin = one full east/west & upside/down rotation

How much force do you estimate would be required to simulate 'gravity' by which the water is kept in-place on the sphere???

Also, you know that we can fellowship TOGETHER in CHRIST 24/7 anytime and anywhere on earth(weather permitting & boat required or in a airplane).
Because we were not Saved by the shape of the earth but by the Precious BLOOD of CHRIST.
Neither are we Saved by superior knowledge = 1 Corinthians 1:26-31

Since GOD made a circle over the earth where we live on - and the outer circle it is made of a ICE WALL that contains the oceans.
Would there must need be snow at the equator?

Does it snow in Death Valley?

Death Valley rarely gets snow, as it is primarily known for its extreme heat and dry conditions. However, snow can occasionally be seen on the higher peaks during winter months, but it does not accumulate on the valley floor.

Ball or flat belief is not a Salvation issue.
The issue is the damage done to those who currently reject Christ.
..
The ONLY logical, testable AND observable evidence for a BALL earth is :-
Equator sea level NEVER has ice/snow, yet North Pole & South Pole ALWAYS has
Same item is LIGHTER at the equator than the North & South Poles
North & South Poles have 24 hr days & nights in Dec/June, Equator NEVER DOES
..
NONE of those are possible on a flat earth
If you disagree then list the evidence :)

...trying to link me to Satan.
This is a weak spot of yours. If you'll lay down your persecution complex before the Lord, he can move you through it.

and
Using all your wisdom & intelligence, explain why the FLAT earth center has permanent SEA LEVEL snow yet the equator SEA LEVEL regions never do,
It's a no-brainer, PeterA. The North Pole is perpetually frozen because it sits at the absolute middle of the disk, far away from the moving spotlight sun that circles overhead at a low angle. Because the sun never passes directly above the pole, the light is always weak and oblique, failing to melt the ice.

A group of flat earthers change their Belief after going to Antartica...
ROFL @that hoax! BTW, the exact legal ownership of documentarytimes.com is hidden behind a private domain registration service.

You just said the four corners of Israel aren’t describing the geometry or even a square. So why is the same phrase geometric when it’s applied to the earth.
Who said it was?

I’m sure you see the obvious problem here. You’re picking and choosing when four corners is literal and when it’s not. If it fits your belief to be literal then its literal.
No, you're conflating "Israel" with "earth", hence your disingenuous question(s):
Do you think the land of Israel was a square?
and
Do you also believe the land of Israel was a square?

Joshua said stop the sun and moon. God did it. But the mechanism isn't given — the text says what happened in the sky, not what moved to make it happen.
It's simple: Joshua spoke it; God performed it.

A flat earther will say the sun stopped moving. A globe believer will say the earth stopped spinning. Both produce the same thing in the sky, and the verse doesn't say which.
Scripture tells us it was Joshua who spoke it - not a "globe believer" - regardless the result.

So this verse isn't evidence for either one.
Rather, the verse speaks for itself:

...[Joshua] said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon....And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed,...So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. (Joshua 10:12-13).

So what tells you it flips to physical position there?
Because you have to take all of scripture as a whole, brother. Scripture interprets scripture. When taken together with all the other scriptures about how God created the earth ....the sun and moon standing still, the earth having foundations, and a firmament above it like a tent to dwell in ...the lights that are set inside the firmament that have circuits ...and so many more ...it paints a whole picture. We all know that one word can have various meanings and applications. But when taken as a whole, one can see what is meant.

God is the Author of the scriptures. He means what He says and is accurate in His description.

"""The North Pole is perpetually frozen because it sits at the absolute middle of the disk
The North Pole experiences 24-hour daylight for six months of the year, from the spring equinox (around March 21) to the autumnal equinox (around September 23
The North Pole experiences continuous darkness for roughly six months each year, from the autumn equinox in late September to the spring equinox in late March, due to the Earth's axial tilt pointing away from the sun
..
ALL because its :- """far away from the moving spotlight sun that circles overhead at a low angle"""
ROFL & wet myself laughing so hard :Laughingoutloud::Laughingoutloud::Laughingoutloud::Laughingoutloud:

Big Thank You peter for the "equator" challenge.

i will research it but not now as i am busy with work the next couple of weeks.

i need to make a slight adjustment when i said: "we are not Saved by superior knowledge"

Correction = We are not Saved by the superior knowledge of intellectual man"

Correction 2 = We are 100% SAVED by the SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE of GOD = Isaiah 53:11

By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.


Thank You Dear LORD JESUS CHRIST for everyone on here and may your Grace and Holy Spirit continue to guide us thru Your word and may Your Superior Knowledge keep us from the wiles/deception of the adversary and those who serve him - AMEN

You remain lost because you (and A.I.) have conflated ice with daylight/darkness.

The truth:
The North Pole is perpetually frozen because it sits at the absolute middle of the disk, far away from the moving spotlight sun that circles overhead at a low angle. Because the sun never passes directly above the pole, the light is always weak and oblique, failing to melt the ice.
