My buddy, Captain Dan, posted this link in a thread:
What Does the Bible Say About Flat Earth?
So I thought I would pick it apart by posting some of the verses (King James, of course) from time to time and commenting on them.
For the record, I think the only time the Bible mentions the physical shape of the earth is when It mentions the earth being "without form and void."
Why would it matter, if God stated out right in a verse or verses that He created a stationary and flat earth. People would not believe it, they are going to believe what they want.
And in this age (god of this world) science trumps the Bible
I mean already, there is a whole book of the Bible (Gospel of John), "the only book whose states its purpose for being written". And that it is written for the exact reason, to tell people how to have eternal life.
But yet this book is ignored by 90 to 99% of christianity, but instead seek out God's free gift of Eternal Life, by actions they try to do, to add to their idea of faith. By preforming acts of repentance, obedience, baptism, making Christ Lord of their life, etc....
So verses like John 3:15, 16, 17, 18 or 36, John 5:24, 39,40, John 6:47 who state out right how to receive Eternal Life.
These verse are not believed as stated, so a verse stating God created a flat earth would be ignored just like the Gospel of John is ignored.
There are already enough verses stated in the Bible (with out having to state out right the earth is flat) to know that God's creation is nothing even remotely close to any description given by science.
I mean in this verse, a clearly stated act of creation of God is completely dismissed. Not because of anything the Bible states but solely because of science.
Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
So i people can not believe this verse and its clear description of an act of God's creation. Why would they believe a verse stating as clear as Genesis 1:16 that God created two great lights. Why would they believe a verse stating God created a flat and stationary earth.
God and eventually Jesus preformed miracles right before people, proving who He is, etc.. but yet many did not or do not believe.
(from part of a post on Got Questions)
They were “adulterous” in the spiritual sense, having left the true worship of God to follow a man-made set of rules and traditions. Not satisfied with the miracles Jesus was doing, they demanded something even greater. As commentator Matthew Barnes puts it, “They looked for signs of their own devising.” So entrenched was their rejection of Christ that, when later presented with the “sign of the prophet Jonah” (Christ’s resurrection,
Matthew 12:39-40), they still would not believe.
So christianity has left God's true description of His creation, He has given in The Bible. They have adopted and have forced the Bible to conform and agree with science's created lie.
But that can be seen it was not only of mans doing but being that this deception has been carried out over hundreds of years. It has its source from satan and has been brought about little by little.
To make way for evolution satan needed a creation that evolution could exist in and a flat and stationary earth with a sun, moon and stars moving above, a few thousand miles up in Gods creation would not do.
Because as science states they need millions, billions and trillions of miles and years for evolution to exist. And a globe water ball spinning out in unlimited space gives satan his creation of his deception.
