You read as literal, things that are not intended to be literal.

I understand this now, but even if it's not literal there is always some truth to it.

Thank you for your five reasons but sorry to say, all of the five I could easily contest

I'm sorry but I don't think you could.
You could look on YouTube and find a film that someone else has made and claim that that refutes the arguments - though even that is hit and miss, as sometimes the clips that you quote actually say the opposite.
But as you "can't get your head around science" I doubt that you, yourself, could refute scientific facts.

but my main reason for supporting F/E is the Bible,

Why can't you understand that the Bible does not teach the shape of the earth; it is not the purpose of the Bible to teach the shape of the earth?
No one comes to know God, trust God, be saved by God, believe in Jesus etc because of the shape of the earth.
You once said that if people believed that the earth was flat they would accept that the Bible is true and there would be conversions. There wouldn't. There are people who are convinced that the earth is flat but do not believe in God and have no intention of becoming Christians. If the FE society are out in our town, they have posters describing themselves as non religious - i.e. they do NOT say "Flat Earth teaches the truth about God", "accept the earth is flat and you will know God".
Christianity is centred in Christ. The OT prophesied that Christ would come, the Gospels described his ministry when he did come and the epistles teach us how to put our faith in Christ into practice. That is what the Bible is about; God the Father and Creator, his love for mankind and his salvation plan for his disobedient creation (us) after we chose to go our own way. We are Christians and bear Christ's name.
Believing that Flat Earth is true does not prevent someone from accepting Christ and reading the Bible.
Rejecting Flat Earth does not mean that someone has rejected the Bible - because the Bible is not about the shape of the earth.

Like Aaron said, God does not change nor will he ever.

God's unchanging nature has nothing to do with Flat Earth.

But the Bible does teach us that the earth is unmovable & that the sun stopped.

1 Chronicles 16:30 - "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable."
Psalm 93:1 - "Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm."
Psalm 96:10 - "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable."
Psalm 104:5 -"Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken."

I have just said, in the post above the one where you ask "Where?" It comes between 2 Timothy and Philemon. I hope you are able to find it. I think my favourite verses in Titus are these:

“For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” (Tit 3:3-7 NKJV)

For future reference: when someone quotes a Bible reference, assuming they write it correctly, then it will turn blue. You may have noticed this in the verses that you quoted from Chronicles. If you hover your computer mouse over the reference, the quote will/should appear.
This is also a good way of checking if you have quoted the correct verse; if you (you, generally) haven't, you can easily edit your post.

According to the site there were 3 Flat Earthers and 12 Globe Earthers.
I don't know their reasons, but if I were an FE I wouldn't want to go for fear of being shown to be wrong. That, and that it's cold.

In the end, there were 4 flat earthers, 4 globe earthers, plus Will Duffy who organised the trip. The original idea of 24 from each side didn’t pan out.

Captain Cook’s journey's are not exactly hidden but his accounts to what he experienced is hidden.
In 1773 Captain Cook became the first modern explorer known to have breached the Antarctic circle and reached the ice barrier. This expedition offered an exciting chance to find proof of either the flat or globe Earth models because Captain Cook intended to sail completely around Antarctica looking for inlets through the ice-wall. If the Earth was indeed a globe 25,000 miles in equatorial circumference as the heliocentrists claimed, then a complete circumnavigation of Antarctica would be approximately 12,000 miles, and if the Earth was flat with Antarctica surrounding the entire circumference, a complete circumnavigation of Antarctica would have to take over 50,000 miles. During three voyages lasting three years and eight days, Captain Cook and crew sailed a total of 60,000 miles along the Antarctic coastline never once finding an inlet or path through or beyond the massive glacial wall! Captain Cook wrote: "The ice extended east and west far beyond the reach of our sight, while the southern half of the horizon was illuminated by rays of light which were reflected from the ice to a considerable height.
His comments that he wrote are not mentioned in schools. It is a good question to ask why?
With all the lies and fraudulent actions by the space agencies along with a lot of evidence coming to light suggesting the Earth is flat one might be lead to believe that the powers that be are hiding the true shape of the Earth.
If the truth about what Captain Cook’s said about his journey’s was taught in schools along with other truths then we wouldn’t have all this misinformation that is spread like the other answers that were made to your question. So that leads me to believe that is the reason why the truth is hidden.

Answer (1 of 12): Growing up in Australia, Cook’s voyages were taught in schools, and there was a lot of ‘Cook’ stuff around the place: Cooktown in Queensland, his parent’s cottage in Melbourne, Cook Strait in New Zealand.

The real question is; "why are you prepared to accept events that happened well over 50 years ago and promote them as gospel truth, while dismissing as fake events that took place a couple of months ago, involving video footage and eyewitness testimony?"

I can even answer it for you: because you are addicted to conspiracy theories.
You said you were prepared to ask God for help in your struggles to accept a flat earth. YouTube suggests one clip that you might find interesting, and that vow to trust God is forgotten.
