If the earth is a spinning globe , answer me these questions.

1. How does water stick to a spinning ball ? Water always finds it own level.
2. How do Rockets get through the firmament ?
3 How come Joshua stopped the sun & the moon ?
4. why don't we feel the spin of the earth ?
1. The water on Earth sticks to it due to the combination of gravity and inertia. The Earth's rotation creates a centrifugal force, but this force is much weaker than the gravitational force, so the water does not fly off the Earth. The rotation of the Earth is not sufficient to overcome the force of gravity, keeping the water in place.

2. The firmament in Genesis is symbolic.

3. If the story is a literal history, then we do not know. The technicalities are not mentioned.

4. We don't feel the spin of the Earth due to its constant speed and the fact that everything on the Earth's surface, including the atmosphere, is also spinning at the same rate.

It should immediately become apparent how much the Genesis account has in common with the greater portion of pagan beliefs, yet you claim globe earth is pagan?

In The Bible there is God's inspired account, which is truth. Then there is pagan accounts of events that are similar in nature, but can be easily seen as not in line with Biblical accounts.

One example is from Greek culture comes the account of gods (Greek mythology) that are part man and part god. Which is an account of the flood and the nephilim who were part human and part fallen angel, as The Bible states. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

With The Bible as a guide, these counterfeits should easily be seen for what they are, deceptions to draw people away from Biblical truth. But instead they have cause people to turn The Bible into a metaphorical soup, with man being decider of what is truth and what is just a symbolic story.

No disrespect, but are the waters above symbolic too ?
If not, as you stated, Water always finds it own level, so what's keeping it in place?

They experienced rain and, because they did not understand atmosphere, they imagined a solid firmament that holds water above and has some gates in it for raining.

Today, you can fly through and above clouds to actually see there is no solid firmament between them and the surface of the earth.

Raining, i.e. the supposed firmament, is much lower. Rain comes from clouds. Firmament above clouds does not make any sense.

There are Christians who will always find things to tickle their ears and follow new winds rather than apply themselves to an actual serious study of The word of God.

The video above is originally from UP Aerospace:


The flat earthers seem to have used it to "prove" a flat earth. Don't know how in the world they think the original video is going to do that.

"Circumference" - i.e the edge around a circle - is an interesting word for a flat earther to use.

Following a Key Bible teaching gives us truth. " Every fact is to be confirmed by the Testimony of two or three witnesses.” 2 Cor 13

Here is a faithful witness, one of many, a brother in Christ.
Listen, and then tell us if you Christian flat earthers will still slander him.

Many cannot be honest enough to watch and listen.

Jesus: They have eyes, but they refuse to see. If their minds were not closed, they might see with their eyes; they might hear with their ears; they might understand with their minds. Then they might turn back to me and be healed.’--Mt. 13
Many are in deep need of deliverance from demonic influence

Nice shot of the earth's curvature on the horizon there. Notice that the curvature is still visible when it passes through the centre of the camera view, so it isn't due to lens distortion. Also, from the altitude reached by the rocket (launched from Nevada) you won't be able to see much further south than Mexico.
