Ok so you can quote my post and make a comment. So i am not supposed to quote a post you make and ask a question.

You double quoted the same post.

 

[BeyondET]

It sure is. Oh and also earth does not mean a sphere covered with water and scattered land areas. Earth is defined as land or ground.

Earth doesn't mean a flat disic that is most definitely false.

So what was i supposed to do go look up some old post you made and quote it.

God states He sits above the circle of the earth.

It's not a flat circle

It's not a flat circle

There are no sphere circles, a circle is a flat shape

A basketball is round circle

No it is not, just like a square is not a cube or a triangle is not a pyramid.

A basketball is round circle

A basketball is a sphere, not a circle. A circle is a plane figure. The same Hebrew word for circle in Isaiah 40:22 is also used in Job 22:14. There, in the KJV, it is translated as "the circuit of heaven." It is the same exact Hebrew word in both verses. So, is heaven a sphere? I don't think so. The ancients believed the earth was flat, a disc shaped area of land called earth. The earth was surrounded by the seas and the dome shaped skies ended where they met the ocean on the horizon. They believed heaven was directly above the sky and Yahweh walked in the circle of heaven directly above the circle of the earth. In this manner, God could look down on earth from above. The ancients also believed the earth was supported by pillars. There was an underworld, called Sheol, where all the dead went when they died, no matter if they received a decent burial or not. It was considered the common grave of all mankind. Above, was the dome shaped sky, and above the sky was water. The Hebrews already had a word for sphere and it is used in Isaiah 22:18 and translated as a ball in the KJV.

Isaiah 22:18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.

Heaven is a circle of spirituality, doesn't mean the spirits are in a literal circle or heaven is a flat disc or sphere.

The word has multiple meanings.

Picking one that means a 2D flat circle isn't what the 3D earth is.

The verse is saying just that, all that is on earth. Physically you are apart of the circle of earth.

There was no artificial light obscuring the view of the pillars like today. You have to get far away from city lights etc. To get a good view.

If you stand far enough away from it, you can no longer see that is a sphere but a round circle in the distance. Standing on earth is the same thing your mind can't comprehend the shape of earth. The horizon will appear sort of flat. Unless you can see all the dimensions of the object you won't truly see it.

You can't see this art work is on a flat plane because you can't see the 2D flat surface your mind is capable of optical allusions.

You interpret scripture wrong

Look you can try to explain it away all you want, but a fact is a circle is not a sphere.

If the earth were flat I expect the suggestion
that bible meant "sphere" it would get the
same treatment.

Well if anyone thinks a circle is a sphere, they need to take a drawing class.

A sphere, when looked at from straight on is showing as a circle! A pyramid, when looked at from one side is showing as a triangle. A box when looked at from one side is showing as a square!!

Besides, you are totally wrong. The earth is not flat. Nowhere in the Bible does it say it is flat! It is only your bad interpretation that makes you think it is flat!
