The bible says the world is a sphere, it is the Catholics who said the world is flat."Biblical proof" is an oxymoron.
The bible says the Earth is flat, that someone lived inside a whale, that every single person on earth came from two people that were created from dust.
Its not a science book, don't treat it as one.
I'll take established science over a bronze age book of fables.The bible says the world is a sphere, it is the Catholics who said the world is flat.
I see that your understanding of science and religion is faulty.
Where did Jesus stand with the devil to be able to see "the four corners" of the "sphere"?The bible says the world is a sphere, it is the Catholics who said the world is flat.

I've always liked the part where after God created the Earth, "He also created the Stars"I'll take established science over a bronze age book of fables.
Why should anyone care what the bibel says? Apart, of course, from the dwindling number of Jewish and Christian religious obsessives.Before me no god formed

You got it wrong. The heavens contained the stars. Translating from one language to another can be a problem.I've always liked the part where after God created the Earth, "He also created the Stars"
I guess the other 763,000,000,000,000,000 objects was an afterthought.
I am a Swede and you are? Illogical.Why should anyone care what the bibel says? Apart, of course, from the dwindling number of Jewish and Christian religious obsessives.

The four corners of the Earth are the four quadrants of Earth, corresponding approximately to the four points of the compass.Where did Jesus stand with the devil to be able to see "the four corners" of the "sphere"?
The word is also translated as sphere.No it doesn’t. The Hebrew word used is very specifically the word “circle”, even though a word meaning “ball or sphere” also existed in Hebrew at the time.
The Bible very specifically refers to the earth as a flat circle covered in a solid dome and orbited by the sun.
Indeed. The Bible makes many claims, but offers no real proof of anything."Biblical proof" is an oxymoron.

Let us see the scriptures where it says the world is flat.No it doesn’t. The Hebrew word used is very specifically the word “circle”, even though a word meaning “ball or sphere” also existed in Hebrew at the time.

“Circle of the Earth”Let us see the scriptures where it says the world is flat.
Sphere and CircleNo it isn’t. It is translated as “circle”. Ancient Hebrew had an entirely different word for “ball/sphere”.
And besides, the Bible also posits other things like a mountain so tall it can see the entire earth that only work if it’s claiming the earth is flat.

Faith does not equal fact.There are many places in the bible that explains what certain parables mean. The bible was not written for Atheist, it was written for people of faith.
Acts 1:3
After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
Easy to recognise the earth is a sphere / circle. Anyone with eyes and an ability to imagine can do that. But that is not science. Science requires rigorous examination, not a view and imagination. Same with saying the earth is flat. A quick observation and no research at all will tell you that the earth must be flat. But again, that is not science. It is just an observation.The bible says the world is a sphere, it is the Catholics who said the world is flat.
I see that your understanding of science and religion is faulty.
The people who do the translating do not always translate correctly.“Circle of the Earth”
A circle is a flat, 2D shape.
They could have used the word meaning “Ball/Sphere of the Earth” but they didn’t.
Faith does not equal falsehood also.Faith does not equal fact.

It equals wishful thinking. There's nothing to establish or support it as fact. Without empirical evidence, there is no reason to accept or think it's not false.Faith does not equal falsehood also.
