And his creation, don't forget.
It tells us THAT God created; not how.
The world is not random, chance etc, it's God's. Because he made it he cares for it, cares what happens to it and is in charge. Not "fate", "the universe" or "kismet"; God.
That is the most important thing. That is absolutely truth; GOD created.
If the world were an isosceles triangle or an octagon, it would still be God's world created by God.

You believe what you like but you are doing no one any favours by insisting that he created it as a flat disc. Quite the opposite in fact, because people have investigated and KNOW the shape of the earth. If you insist the Bible says it is different (which it doesn't) they are more likely to say "that's another reason not to believe the Bible then."

And now I am out of here because you won't accept that and the whole debate will go round in circles again.

Everything that God has ever made is circular. the earth, firmament, sun & the moon even our body cells.
Apart from squares and rectangles and rhomboids etc. Who made those?

Okay flat then :rolleyes:
It’s not flat though is it? Mountains are huge with many having vertical cliff faces. So it’s not even flat. Unless you think Mt Everest is flat?

The teaching of this start's at a child age and is continued to be reinforced until their adult age through schools.
What about Eratosthenes of Cyrenes. Who taught him? Or is this all down to him?

That is the key to deception there are quite a few appearances that seem to give the impression that the earth is a globe. But because of The Bible, people can if they will simply believe God's creation account. Can become aware of these deceptions. if not for The Bible basically there would be no gauge to be used in establishing what is true concerning God's creation and what is not.
But God's creation account says neither that the earth is a flat disc nor that it is a globe. Many genuine Christians who believe Genesis as literal truth, also believe that the earth is a globe.

It doesn't specifically say 'flat earth' but the bible is a level earth inspired book.
I always thought it was inspired by God Himself:

“All Scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,” (2Ti 3:16 NKJV)

It's not inspired by the earth, and certainly not by the shape of the earth.

Right it follows the movement of stars
Yes, by compensating for the rotation of the earth and your position on the globe. It would not work at all if the earth was flat.

@prodromos @trophy33 @Strong in Him, You guys are never going to get it, not in a millions years, so why bother ?
If by "getting it" you mean accepting as true the sort of things which appear in what you posts such as the bible being inspired by a flat earth, magnetism causing tides, and everything God created being circular, then I agree, I am never going to get that.

When a man with a Medal of Honor, Navy Cross, two-time Navy Distinguished Service Medal, two-time Legion of Merit medal, and a Distinguished Flying Cross Congressional Gold Medal tells you that 1 doesn’t equal 1; you drop everything you are doing and listen.
In the case of this man, he tells us that Antarctica isn’t what we read it was; if anything Antarctica is a thriving continent with people living in it for generations.
If he is right, that means everything our government has ever said was a lie. I know they do lie but this lie would be the ruler of all lies. And then, you start to realize that the lies are not the problem, but what they are covering up in Antarctica that made them lie in the first place.

Since you have demonstrated yourself incabable of actually providing sensible answers to any of the questions we put to you, it should not be a surprise that we aren't 'getting' it, whatever 'it' is supposed to be

Motech certainly looks like a reliable youtube channel. Going by the other videos they have I would absolutely believe whatever claims are made in this video :oldthumbsup:
(I may be being a bit sarcastic or ironic)

Well, an internet search for this man and his Antarctic expeditions brings up the following words about his second expedition to Antarctica. Note particularly the words I have emphasised:

In 1933–35 a second Byrd expedition visited Little America with the aim of mapping and claiming land around the Pole; he extended the exploration of Marie Byrd Land and continued his scientific observations. During the winter of 1934 (from March to August) Byrd spent five months alone in a hut at a weather station named Bolling Advance Base, buried beneath the ice shelf face 123 miles (196 km) south of Little America, enduring temperatures between −58° and −76° F (−50° and −60° C) and sometimes much lower. He was finally rescued in a desperately sick condition, suffering from frostbite and carbon monoxide poisoning. This was perhaps his most controversial exploit.

Nothing at all about it being a thriving continent.

I'm never going to agree with your nonsense - that the earth is a flat disc which is 40,000 feet deep and has four corners - in a million years, no.
Which is why I'm out of here.
