Your first video just shows the earth as it is from any plane & to show a full image of the earth you have to be much further out into space.

Your second video just shows a flat circular earth.

& the third just the same, a circular earth.

So! anything else to show ?

What I'd like to see is proof that the earth orbits the sun.

Sorry but it doesn't.
Yes it does. The sun at sunset doesn't seem to get smaller and smaller until we can't see it; it gradually disappears below the horizon.

It does. If the earth was flat and the sun moved as you claim, the size of the sun would be smaller at sunrise and sunset, and largest at noon, yet it remains the same size.

The videos debunk your recent claims: that rockets end up in the ocean and that the Earth is not a globe when no eye-fish lens are used. No need to show anything else, you are done.

You're not listening.
You said the earth is a circle - another name for which is "sphere".
You also said that there is no curvature to the earth.
That is a contradiction. A circle is curved - or a curved straight line, as someone once said. It id not possible for something to be a circle and circular, without it being curved.

Of course you can't explain; you can only find a video of someone else's work which you hope will do the job for you.

Discs, clocks, wheels, etc., are a few examples of a circle, whereas football, oranges, eyeballs, etc. are a few examples of a sphere.

Look in a dictionary; the words "sphere" and "circle" are interchangeable.

2 Corinthians 10:13. Paul talks of having people in his sphere. Does he mean "3-dimensional object"? No, he means "circle of friends".

They are distinct geometric concepts, although a sphere can be thought of as a 3D analogue of a circle.

The Earth is a circle.
The Earth has depth - you said so yourself.
Therefore, the Earth is a sphere.

KJV 2 thess 2-11
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
1. The notation is 2Thess 2:11, not 2-11. Your notation would mean from chapter 2 to chapter 11.

2. The context of the verse is not about circle vs sphere or about cosmology as such, but about the coming of the lawless one:

The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

If you do not want to claim that we are not saved or that we delight in wickedness, then you should restrain from abusing verses out of their context.

Rubbish.
But I'm not surprised you would rather post a Bible verse out of context than admit that you can't answer the question.

The shape of the earth has nothing to do with salvation and no theological significance.
I have asked you before to explain why you think it has.
I have asked you how I am "deceived" because I don't believe it.
I have asked you what difference it makes to my faith and ability to trust God.

You can't answer because you have no answer.
The earth being a sphere/globe is not a matter of belief, but knowledge. You choose to reject it, say that the earth is flat, that everything is faked and that everyone else is lying. Your choice - it changes nothing.

See post above it explains it all circle & all.

I have nothing to do with Rob Skiba. I am not interested in such videos. Maybe for some amusement as a fantasy genre when I will be bored, but not in a serious way.
