I posted this image as it was likened to a Mexican hat as my friend had drew out for me, it was the only image I could find that resembled a Mexcian hat.

In that case, especially as the title printed on the picture was "Square and Stationary Earth", it would have made things a lot clearer if you had put something like you have just written, to explain that you don't believe the earth is square, but it was the only picture of a Mexican hat you could find. I just did a search for images of Mexican hat, and loads came up, all circular. Indeed, I have never heard of a square Mexican hat before. Here is one that I found (but it neither looks like the shape you think the earth to be, nor the shape I think it is.

It doesn't look anything like a Mexican hat.
And it even says "square and stationary earth."

@David Lamb - snap!

 

[Apple Sky]

As I said before your interpretation is false teaching

How can they be when the Bible teaches that there is a firmament above with waters above that & that the moon gives off her own light plus there are man other verses which relates to a level earth ?

So you don't think this resembles a Mexican hat ?

Oh well never mind.

We keep coming back to the same thing. I am sure everybody here believes there is a firmament. However, the Hebrew word used doesn't only mean "a solid dome." It can also mean "expanse." You interpret the bible as saying that the firmament is a solid dome. Others of us believe it is an expanse.

Mexican hats are circular, not square.

Mexican hats are circular, not square.

The insert of the square, not the square it's self.

No I don't. Mexican hats are circular. Of the hundreds of images that came up in my Google search didn't see a single one that wasn't circular. and no square ones either.

No, of course it doesn't - look at the pictures that we posted so that you wouldn't have to search.
Plus, it clearly says "square and stationary earth".

The Bible says that the earth has 4 corners; is this true, or not?

 

[Strong in Him]

The insert of the square, not the square it's self.

So why post an image which says "square and stationary earth", to illustrate your point, if you don't believe the earth is square?

What about the 4 corners?

 

[David Lamb]

The insert of the square, not the square it's self.

Yet you just posted the picture, with its title, "Square and Stationary Earth," with not a word about only the middle part of the picture being relevant. That's why there has been so much confusion.

 

[Apple Sky]

You interpret the bible as saying that the firmament is a solid dome.

That's because it is.

Rob skiba said;

In this video, I talk about the indisputable fact that - textually speaking, assuming words actually mean things - the Bible speaks of a FIRM, HARD, SOLID structure set up over us known as the FIRMament. Focusing on the Scriptural evidence for this, I then proceed to address a few other aspects of Biblical Cosmology before finally stating why I believe it is important for us to understand these things.

 

[Apple Sky]

What about the 4 corners?

These are just allegories.

Because the Bible is written using many literary devises which is the way that God intended. God did not dictate the Bible to the writers but inspired the writers. Each writer wrote from their own experience and writing style. We see this among the four gospels where eye witness accounts vary a bit but is not contradictory. Moses wrote Genesis from that perspective. This is basically what he saw and interpret the information to mean and described it using the imagery that he understood. John did the same thing in Revelation. The truth is there in showing God’s story and glory from his perspective.

And there are, but I wouldn't expect anyone to understand this, they can barley get their head around the fact that the earth is flat, so why confuse the issue anymore ?

How can anyone possibly understand the contradictory nonsense that comes out of your head?

There is extra land beyond the ice walls as Admiral Byrd has quoted.

You just said the Air NZ flight hit the firmament (despite the crash site being just off the coast of Antarctica), then moments later you claim Admiral Byrd flew unimpeded way beyond the coast of Antarctica. The truth is not in you.

 

[Apple Sky]

Moses wrote Genesis from that perspective. This is basically what he saw and interpret the information to mean and described it using the imagery that he understood.

I thought Moses spoke directly to God.

 

[Strong in Him]

These are just allegories.

So they're not literal - but everything else is?
The sea bursting from a womb, is literal? Job 38:8.
The sea has doors and bars? Job 38:10.
The snow and hail are literally in storehouses? Job 38:22.
There is literally a tent in the sky for the sun? Psalm 19:4.

The Bible contains poetry.
Poetry can be used to describe/convey historical fact. There is a poem about the Charge of the Light brigade, for example, and Wilfred Owen wrote war poetry. There can be truth in, or behind, poetry. But that doesn't mean that all the words used are literal or to be taken literally.

So why can you - finally - say that the four corners of the earth are allegorical , but insist that other parts of Scripture are literal - even if that means you have to stick to the ridiculous idea that there is a ring of ice around the world which is called Antarctica?
Or that there is a literal dome which no one can get past to get to the moon, although - hang on - they can because the moon is inside the dome?

Simple facts, like flight paths, are proof of the flat earth.​

Simple facts, like flight paths between continents in the Southern Hemisphere, are proof of the globe earth. I'm not going to bother watching your video because I know they are going to be ignorant of great circle routes.

 

[Strong in Him]

I thought Moses spoke directly to God.

When given the law and the 10 commandments, yes.
The Bible does not say that God dictated the first 5 books of the Bible to him.
