Mhm, that verse from Proverbs talks about the horizon which looks like a circle from any vantage point. The verse from Job probably talks about the dome of the firmament as it sits on the (flat) earth as a circle. Looking at many different bible translations, most do use wordings like "the circuit of the heavens", "the circle of heaven", "heaven's rim", and similar.
Thanks.
Farthest thing from. I never intended to become a flat-earther, but I had to land where the reasoned evidence took me. Life would be a lot easier if I weren't, but for me to deny it at this point would make me a liar.
But what would convince you it's not flat?
A measurable curve that is 8 inches per mile squared and a successful experiment showing rotational and orbital motion.
What kind of experiment? Any one you wouldn't dismiss as part of a conspiracy?
You keep referencing this, yet providing no citations.

For curvature, something like the hundreds of physical measurements that I've already witnessed which reveal zero curve.
For motion, you can start with retesting Sagnac's experiment, which demonstrated the movement observed between the earth and the stars was due to the stars being in motion, and not the earth itself.
Hey SeventyOne, how come stars move counter clockwise around a central point in the northern hemisphere but clockwise in the southern?
The entire field of Geodesy is based upon measurement of the Earth (curves and all). And it's been used for millennia to establish our current day mapping, GPS, air and shipping routes, etc.

You asked what I would accept, and that's that I would accept. I can't help it that none of you are as far along in this study as I am.
Presumptive, at best.
Not something that is helpful when conducting an honest investigation into truth ...
I'm not investigating anything with that post, and it's a rather no-brainer assumption based on the responses I get here. It's not meant as an insult, but rather just a confirmation of the current reality.
or anything from the Stephen Hawking earth measurement show a few years back as they completely botched one measurement, and was shown to use video tricks on another.
What measurement did they botched?
The second one? The one where they had to add to the cardboard they were marking on? What was incorrect about that?The second one, from the boat. Incorrect starting point.

They measured a 6 foot difference, which is only applicable on a ball earth at their reported distance of 3 miles if the laser elevation is at ground level. However, the laser was just over 2.5 feet off of the ground, which results in a considerably less noticeable curve at 3 miles. You can use any earth curve calculator to check that out.
