The flat earth movement seems to be one of those temporary movements which will decline and go back to the underground where it came from. In the meantime, this anarchist movement seeks to win people over to their worldview through the sensation of conspiracy theory which is based entirely on disinformation. The Holy Bible does not teach flat earth nor is there a flat earth tradition in Christianity. I would like to officially knock out the flat earth allegation leveled against the Bible by atheists once and for all. These lies being spread that the Bible is a flat earth book are not true.
The ground rules for this discussion is that the topic stays on the Biblical view and not arguments from the perspective of modern science. So if we want to understand the Biblical teaching we must stay on track.
I became a Christian back when I was 14 years old. When I first opened up my new NIV 1984 Edition Bible, I flipped open to the 40th Chapter of the Book of Isaiah and it didn't take long for my young and sharp eyes to notice verse 22. When I first read Isaiah 40:22 I knew right away what it was saying to me. I knew right then and there that God revealed the globular shape of the earth to Isaiah, and what I was taught in school about Columbus discovering the round shape of the earth was not true. I also knew I was reading a very ancient work so I knew better than to nit-pick on the circular description of the earth, as the earth is circular as seen in space, no matter what side of the earth you see.
There are actually over a dozen globe earth verses in the Bible.
