the myth of flat earth debunked again

[Strong in Him]

Once again, I can't help it if you can't read.

So highlight the word/s which describe what shape the earth is.
Not the word "shape" itself - I'm looking for the words "square", "round", "oblong" etc in that verse.

You clearly can't do it.
If that verse said "the shape of the earth is like someone taking a ROUND stamp and creating a ROUND seal - which is 2 dimensional", you'd highlight it in massive, bold letters, and say "there you are; this is what God said."
I asked you a question; you can't answer it, all you can do is tell me to read a verse which does not give me the answer.

Leaving an Impression: Revealing the Intricate Story of Sumerian Cylinder Seals

A cylinder seal is a small cylindrical object with images, words, or both, engraved onto it. Sumerian cylinder seals would be rolled over wet clay to make an impression.

and how about the triangular seal...

DUH....

Like a seal - duh

And where does it say that seal HAS to be round? Duh.
The very word "like" means it's poetry.

I'm spending a fortune on these because they keep pegging out and breaking.

...so I've decided to just disconnect it when I read threads like this.

These are also getting more and more expensive because they're breaking a lot and the supply can't keep up with the demand. I don't know, maybe mine isn't broke.....but it's just staying pegged out.

Only a blind fool wouldn't be able to understand this.

Stop abusing poetry.

Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb
Job 38:8

Sea is not behind any doors and it does not burst forth from a literal womb. Duh.

 

[Strong in Him]

Only a blind fool wouldn't be able to understand this.

The thing that sealed a rolled up parchment would have been a blob of wax. Some websites that I found said that the rolled up document would have been tied with cord and the knot sealed with wax.
The person sealing the scroll might very well press their mark, or own initials, into the wax, so that it could not have been easily opened, read or tampered with and then resealed.
Were the blobs of wax used to seal a scroll round? Who knows? Maybe the wax was poured through a ring, so that it formed a round shape. Then again, maybe not. Even if it was round, you believe the earth is round because it has a circumference - your words.

The point is you seem to be basing the whole of your position, which you have admitted you cannot prove, on one line of poetry from Scripture. Do you take the rest of Job 38 literally?
Were the clouds a garment for the sea, Job 38:9?
Does the sea have doors and bars, Job 38:10?
Does snow have storehouses? Job 38:22?

Yes - And it is Antarctica that circumferences the earth which I believe may look similar to this.

This thread's hilarious.

Yup.....and kind of sad. I knew there were stupid people in this world before the internet's planet-wide explosion.........but I didn't know how stupid.

100% true.

That's not Scriptural either.

I find it sad, as any seeker to Christianity sees this stuff and concludes that it's all a joke.
That's why I'm convinced flat earth is 100% demonic and from the devil.

I was being sarcastic because this is just sad to watch for sure.

Didn't say it was.

Actually it's quite the opposite.

The bible doesn't speak about a planet.. But of of a flat disc. And it fits. Because all prophetic stories line up.

Read genesis (in all translations, especially hebrew) how the earth is made. There is no lie in there. God wants you to fully understand the world, but we believe a bunch of people instead.

We do not "believe a bunch of people" rather we accept a wide range of evidence, observed by many thousands (some by many millions) of people, subjected to rigorous and probing examination in a multiplicity of ways, that consistently comes up in support of the view that the best explanation to account for the myriad of these obervations is that the Earth is a sphere, orbiting the sun.
If you are correct and humans were created by God, then that God also gave humans the intelligence and curiosity to investigate and come to understand the world.
