In that case all the other ancient nations were adhering to the truth, too. Again, the flat earthism is not exclusive to the Old Testament.

Would you propose Egyptians or Babylonians were also inspired?
The ancient Greeks discovered the earth was spheroidal. They even calculated its diameter to 90% accuracy.

They were not influencing the culture of the Old Testament authors, though (if we do not include the intertestamental books like the books of Maccabees).

You are doing what I see lots of people do in misinterpreting the nature of symbolism. Both symbols you highlighted, wings and chariot, are being used to point to the true reality of something.
Which is?
Wind flies rapidly through the air like a bird.
Wind is air moving, it isn't moving through the air. That's a fail.
A chariot is something you ride on and God is described in several other parts of scripture as riding upon the clouds through the sky.
God doesn't actually ride on clouds though. That's a fail also.

I reckon all the nations knew the earth was flat.

They did not know (they did not discovered any way to find out), they only thought so (because its what it seems at the first glance).

It was not an inspired worldview, because it was later proved false.

The other nations were descended from Noah, so it's not surprising that they would share fundamental knowledge about God and the Creation, just as cultures around the world still share a memory of the worldwide flood.

God is never wrong, it is you & the masses who are being deceived. Maybe one day you'll open your eye's and see just how much.

Blessings :praying:
I saw this list before and it is great for sowing God's sovereign nature.of God and they are edifying. Still, not a single one of these passages mentions that the Earth is flat. I welcome you to keep trying but you have failed at least a half dozen times or more to produce one single verse that says the Earth is flat and I have produced many visuals like satellite imagery, links to real-time live imagery, references to atlases with longitude and latitude. I don't think I could produce anything more obvious yet you cling to this idea that has no verifiable proof, nor and scriptural proof. Are you ready to throw in the towel yet?

Your argument has no scientific or Biblical proof so it falls flat. Is there any other proof you can provide or will you continue to cling to an argument from a YouTube character who has no proof themself? :scratch::doh:

Even if true, how would Noah know about the shape of the earth more than anybody else in the ancient world?

Also, what is your proof all the nations got this knowledge from Noah?

The same proof that we know Jesus is alive & getting ready to return.

I hope you are not serious. Well, in that case you would be blaspheming. Hard to say what is there to hope for.

Rubbish, you asked what proof do we have & I answered, unless of course you yourself are a blasphemer.

You should stop this weird reasoning and absurd claims, for your own good.

Don't know what you mean ??
What is the source that you accept as final definitive proof of any given position, ideology.

I accept the King James Bible, that I have with me, as the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. I accept it even above what my eyes may see.

I do not place the word of mankind above what it says, teaches.

It is the final authority on history, above what other historians may think they know.

It is the final authority on science, above what other scientists may think they know.

In other words, in order to have an official debate, I have to know what you will accept as a final authority, otherwise you have no basis, or foundation, to check for fact/truth, and your position would be an ever wavering miasma, and pointless to debate.
