Only when you want, we know.
It's the same with you though. You have agreed that the sun only appears to rse and set, so the bible verses about the sun rising and setting cannot be literal.

Can you explain why it is? It's you who's making that claim.

How can the earth be a circle - and we know that a circle is curved - and yet not be curved?
How can the earth be flat and 40,000 feet deep, at least, and not be a globe? Height/depth makes something 3D. A ball is round, a CD is round. But a ball also has height, whereas a CD is about 1mm high, if that.

There are two verses in the Bible one that says a circle & the other says a ball, learn the difference.

Which verse in the bible says that the earth is a circle? It is not Isaiah 40:22, because that does NOT say that the earth is a circle; it says that God sits on the circle of the earth, so the earth has a circle or circuit - the Hebrew word can mean either. And which verse says it is a ball? I can search on my bible tfor every verse that contains both the word "earth" and the word "ball", but in both the KJV and the NKJV, I got no results.

It doesn't I was expressing the difference between the word 'circle' & 'ball'.
That doesn't fit with what you actually wrote, which was: "There are two verses in the Bible one that says a circle & the other says a ball, learn the difference." How can there be two verses in the bible, one saying the earth is a circle and the other saying it is a ball, if you are now saying there isn't a verse which says it's a ball? If there isn't a verse that says the earth is a ball, you need to edit you earlier post to say: "There is one verse in the Bible one that says a circle & no verse that says a ball."

That doesn't answer my question.
The KJV talks about the depths of the earth. How can the earth have depth when it is, supposed to be, flat like a CD?

This is your belief/faith; you should have an answer for it.

Can you prove that it is not ?
You've offered zero evidence that it is, and as I've already explained, it would not matter if it was as the horizon passes almost through the middle where there is no distortion of straight lines.

No, that is your M.O. Scripture says the sun rises and sets, while you say it only appears that way.

There are two verse's which says Circle and the other says ball.

Isaiah 40:22 & the other say's

Isaiah 22:18

The word circle cannot mean ball, therefore when God says he sits on the circle of the earth it must be true.

Isaiah 22:18 says, "he will roll YOU up tightly like a ball", so what is the significance of quoting that in relation to the shape of the earth?
The Bible mentions the word "ball" - so?

It cannot be literal anyway: a) God may have punished, or exiled, that man; he did not "roll him up", b) if you roll something you get a sausage shape, not a ball.

Is that really how detailed your Bible study is - "oh look, it mentions this word"?

The flat earth dose have depth, we have hell don't we ?
HOW can something be flat and also very deep?
What shape is that? Draw it.

And hell is not a place under the earth.

Now you are even more confusing. First, you said two verses, one saying circle and the other saying ball. When I asked you where the verse was that said the earth is a ball, you replied that there isn't one. Now you seem to be talking about three verses, because you talk of two verse that say circle, "and the other says ball."

Isaiah 40:22 says that the Lord sits on the circle or circuit of the earth, not that the earth is a circle. It must be pictorial language, because God is a spirit, and does not literally sit down anywhere. For the umpteenth time, please not, Isaiah does not say, God sits on the earth which is a circle," but "He sits above the circle/circuit of the earth."

Isaiah 22:18 doesn't even mention the earth:

“He will surely turn violently and toss you like a ball Into a large country; There you shall die, and there your glorious chariots Shall be the shame of your master’s house.” (Isa 22:18 NKJV)

Those words are addressed to Shebna, Hezekiah's steward.

2 hours of what may be jargon - No thanks -
So given actual, scientific evidence you choose to just walk away - "Don't confuse me with the facts."

You post hours of videos expecting us to watch them, yet when given an opposing video, you won't even consider it. This is nothing but evidence of hypocrisy and a closed mind - the only hard evidence you've ever given, btw. "Jargon" is exactly what you need to be confronted with because it refutes your objections.

Hovering over your emoji shows the word: "Er...what?" Do you mean that you believe that hell is part of the earth? How can that be? The earth will be destroyed - the bible tells us that. Hell and heaven are eternal.

Actually, I have watched some of them. I'm willing to hear from both sides and make my own judgments. Can you say the same? If you don't want to watch the whole thing (yet), why not start with the first 30 minutes? Your unwillingness to even engage on the relevant material speaks volumes and reveals you to be a dishonest skeptic.
