i) That doesn't answer my question.
ii) where in Scripture does it say that the earth won't be a circular piece of land until Satan is locked up?
-
Earth in The Bible never means a water covered sphere, so breadth can not be addressing a measurement taken on a globe. So when the verse states they will come upon the breadth of the earth, it is only addressing land.

The earth (land) now has been divided up, it is not one piece of circular land now, as it was brought fourth in Genesis 1

To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
-----------------------------------
Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so.

Let the dry land appear, the verse does not say let the dry land's appear.

It's not because it doesn't rotate.
Yeah it does. People have known that since about 400 BCE. How can you know so little about the world around you?

She is addicted to conspiracy theories and has said that all scientists etc are lying/trying to deceive us.

How do you manage when people close to you ask about your beliefs? Don't they find it strange?

Good question, some do & others tend to say 'I can believe it' especially when you tell them about what the scriptures say as most verses in the Bible contradict a globe.

The level earth is not a conspiracy theory it is the truth & not all scientists are out to to deceive us, in fact we have had some brilliant scientists such as Nikola Tesla, Ada Lovelace Rosalind Franklin & Francis Crick.

It really isn't - you just refuse to believe it.

Glad to hear you say that.
No doubt you say that some are brilliant because they believe in a Flat Earth.

Don’t they question your education? Or do they just shrug and change the subject?

Not at all, I dot't think any of them believe the earth to be level, although I can't be sure about Tesla ??

What's my education got to to with a level earth ? Are you insinuating that just because a persons belief is contrary to the norm that they lack an education ?

I doubt that he was.
But the shape of the earth, planets, the solar system etc is taught from an early age. Most children have, own or have seen a globe. I learned about the planets in Junior school - you probably did too.
As children get older they can understand more - and especially if they study physics, biology, astronomy - even history; Galileo etc. As people get older still they can apply critical thinking, backed up by scientific research, to prove/disprove what they had been taught.

Believe what you like. But if your only evidence is other people's videos from YouTube and you dismiss scientific facts without, yourself, knowing any science or offering any alternative, it's not too surprising if people question your understanding/logic.

Most of my evidence comes from the Bible, as I've said before most of the verses in Scripture contradict a rotating globe orbiting the sun.

The problem is that you keep posting the same thing - a link to 200 bible verses which are supposed to teach a flat earth. But as I have mentioned, most of the headings under which the verses are grouped are nothing to do with the earth's shape. "Earth created before the sun" for example, and "Universe complete." You haven't so far posted a single verse that clearly tells us what shape the earth is.

Yes. That is clearly the case when it contradicts reality.
