Does Bible say the earth is flat?

[Jesus_is_Saint]

Does Bible say the earth is flat?

 

[4x4toy]

It mentions the circle of the Earth and in another place that your sins cast as far as the East is from the West. You can walk or travel East on Earth forever but you can only travel North so far before you're headed South again. That says globe to me ..

 

[Strathos]

No it doesn't.

 

[Dither]

Does Bible say the earth is flat?

Yes

 

[Joshua_5]

Does Bible say the earth is flat?

The simple answer is yes.

 

[dysert]

Yes

The simple answer is yes.

Would either of you be so kind as to provide Scripture that says so? Thanks.

 

[Joshua_5]

Would either of you be so kind as to provide Scripture that says so? Thanks.

"Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:"

Circles are flat.

"Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:"

Circles are flat.

That passage (obviously) does not say the earth is flat. It does say that the earth appears as a circle, which it does when looking at it from space.

Anything else?

If you already know the arguments why are you asking?

Just FYI, we did check...

A physics experiment might soon tell us if we're living in a 2D hologram

but the answer was no

I don't know what "arguments" you're talking about. You said that the Bible says the earth is flat. I've read the Bible cover-to-cover about 10 times in my life and have never seen a passage that says the earth is flat, so I'm wanting to know where it says that.

 

[Another Lazarus]

If Jesus told people that the earth is round, he would be killed earlier.

But Jesus indeed hint that the earth is round, when He speaks about the Rapture, which will take place in the DAY as well as in the NIGHT in the other part of the Globe.

The sun will still be shining when the Rapture takes place
"Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left."
People work in the field during DAYLIGHT.


Luke 17:34 "I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.

At the other part of the globe is at night when the Rapture takes place.

The 2nd coming of Christ, Kings and Armies will know it

Jesus bless you all HalleluYAH

Some say the Hebrew word translated as circle can also be translated as sphere:

Isaiah 40:22 and the shape of the earth - CMI Mobile

This raises the question: Why do the translators of modern translations of the Bible still use the word circle, or choose the word compass or horizon instead of the word sphere?

They would probably be accused of being biased by those who want the Bible to describe a flat Earth.

For the sake of argumentamums I sink!

Does the Bible Teach that the Earth is Flat?

 

[Eibon]

The Scriptures says that the earth is round:
"It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth" (Isaiah 40:22)
The word translated "circle" here is the Hebrew word chuwg, which is also translated circuit or compass (varying on the context). It indicates something spherical, rounded, or arched not something that is flat.

The Bible clearly states the world is Geocentric,
Please question things and shake the lie off.

Ask God for help with this, its important.
Truth Matters

Which is why I can know Jesus will return the 3rd hr , I just can't say in which time zone
