BIBLE VERSES WHICH TAKEN LITERALLY SUPPORT A FLAT EARTH-CENTERED UNIVERSE
Ecclesiastes 1:5
The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises".
Tremble before him, all the earth!
The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
]Revelation 7:1 - "After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth,
back the four winds of the earth..."
..... he will assemble the people of Judah
from the four quarters of the earth.
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
for he views the the ends of the earth
and sees everything under the heavens.

CHARGES BROUGHT BY THE CHURCH AT GALILEO'S TRIAL (1533)
The proposition that the Sun is the center of the world and does not move from its place is absurd and false philosophically and formally heretical, because it is expressly contrary to Holy Scripture.
The proposition that the Earth is not the center of the world and immovable but that it moves, and also with a diurnal motion, is equally absurd and false philosophically and theologically considered at least erroneous in faith.
*****************************************************************************
1) Just as with EVOLUTION, a literal interpretation of the Bible in 1533 supported the proposition of the earth as flat, immovable and at the center of the solar system!
2) Any scientifically based research that challenged this concept of the universe was dismissed as ABSURD, FALSE PHILOSOPHICALLY ERRONEOUS IN FAITH and THEOLOGICALLY CONTRARY TO SCRIPTURE!
3) Just as with Evolution, the concept of a heliocentric solar system in and of itself does not challenge the existence of GOD but merely forwarded alternative timelines and processes compatible with scientific research!
4) It was not until 1992, following 13 years of investigation, that Pope John Paul representing the Catholic Church, formally admitted its error concerning the prosecution and condemnation of Galileo
5) The Pope also acknowledged that Church theologians had erred when they transposed a question of scientific investigation into the realm of faith!
6) For those supporting a literal interpretation of Creation, while ignoring scientific evidence to the contrary, to be consistent they should also support the view of an immovable earth at the center of the universe - given that as with a 7 day Creation there are sufficient verses in the Bible that would support such a proposition!

1. our maps are flat - yet no one takes that as proof that the earth has no mountains are is not round like very other object in the sky.
2. The Bible speaks of the "Sphere of the Earth".
3. The Bible says that there is a circle enscribed on our planet "at the boundary between light and dark" j-- which is the case when the plane of light from the sun intersects the sphere of the Earth. Basic geometry.
4. So then , a literal 7 day creation week for Earth and "two great lights" the Sun and moon
5. Evolutionism is belief system that does NOT start with "for in six days God created"
Tremble before him, all the earth!
The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
- Answer: David said in the Psalms "I shall not be moved" even though scripture shows David moving.

Revelation 7:1 - "After this I saw
four angels standing at the four corners of the earth,
back the four winds of the earth..."
..... he will assemble the people of Judah
from the four quarters of the earth.
ANSWER : FOUR points of compass to this very day does not mean Earth has corners.
Evening and morning is always 1 real lday

He sits enthroned above
the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
Strong's H2329 - ḥûḡ
CIRCLE , SPHERE are both valid
translates as vault, sphere, circle
H2329 - חוּג chûwg, khoog; from ; a circle:—circle, circuit, compass.

when trying to discredit the Bible one needs to choose their straw man carefully Is it "four corners of a map" or is it "circle" or is it "vault"
the fact that all are included means that only Sphere will work and the discredit attempt fails.
