Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

[Phil G]

No you are denying God's word not me.

You can’t even understand what a circle is. Try and look it up.

 

[Apple Sky]

You can’t even understand what a circle is. Try and look it up.

No you look up what it says in the Bible.

 

[Phil G]

No you look up what it says in the Bible.

Look up a circle. It’s a two dimensional geometric shape. That’s not the earth. The Bible says the circle OF the earth, NOT the earth IS a circle.

That’s not the same thing.

 

[Apple Sky]

Look up a circle. It’s a two dimensional geometric shape. That’s not the earth. The Bible says the circle OF the earth, NOT the earth IS a circle.

I know exactly what it says,

 

[Phil G]

I know exactly what it says,

No you don’t. You mustn’t have been very good at English either!

Otherwise you would know the difference between “circle of” and “earth is”.

 

[Apple Sky]

No you don’t. You mustn’t have been very good at English either!

Perectly well, thank you.

 

[Phil G]

Perectly well, thank you.

You very obviously don’t. So the leg of a chair means a chair is a leg?

Stop trying to twist scripture, it doesn't become you.

 

[Phil G]

Stop trying to twist scripture, it doesn't become you.

I’m saying exactly what you’re claiming Scripture says. The circle of the earth does not mean the earth is a circle. It’s plain English. The same as the wheel of the car doesn’t mean the car is a wheel.

It’s you that’s twisting Scripture to say what you want it to say.

Try reading it again.

 

[Phil G]

Try reading it again.

You try it. You don’t even understand plain English.

 

[Apple Sky]

You try it. You don’t even understand plain English.

Do you ?

 

[David Lamb]

But it does teach us that earth is a circle.

But it doesn't. As far as I am aware, there is only one verse where "circle" and "earth" are mentioned together, and that is:

“[It is] He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants [are] like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.” (Isa 40:22 NKJV)

That verse doesn't say that the earth is a flat disc. It says that the earth has a circle. Those who believe the earth to be a globe would agree that the earth has circles. The equator is a circle, so is any line going round a sphere. Also, the word translated "circle" can also mean "circuit", so the circle of the earth could refer to the earth's orbit around the sun. The verse doesn't say that the earth is a circle, it mentions the circle of the earth. The Psalmist wrote:

“I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert.” (Ps 102:6 NKJV)

He didn't mean that the wilderness was a pelican, or that the desert was an owl!

Do you ?

You can’t argue your way out of it, so now you try to project your mistake onto me. Three word meanings you don’t seem to understand ‘of’, ‘is’ and ‘circle’.

Go learn.

No, go and read the Bible correctly.

 

[Strong in Him]

No, go and read the Bible correctly.

I think YOU should try that.

You have agreed that the Bible doesn't teach a flat earth.
You have agreed that the Bible doesn't teach us all we can know about God's creation. You have also demonstrated that, because when I asked you about the depth of the earth, you did not look up the answer in the Bible, but in a book/online.

Yet even so, you seem to insist that when the Bible speaks of creation, it should all be taken literally.
So according to you the the Bible - which doesn't teach about the earth - says that the earth is a circle, a four corned shape and something that is at least 40,000 feet deep.
When you wanted to know something that was not taught in the Bible (the depth of the earth) you looked it up - but anyone else who does that is wrong, lying or does not know how to read the Bible.

And, in your own words, this is not even important.

 

[Apple Sky]

Yet even so, you seem to insist that when the Bible speaks of creation, it should all be taken literally.

And so it should.

 

[Strong in Him]

And so it should.

Why?

 

[Phil G]

No, go and read the Bible correctly.

You can’t get out of it. YOU are the one reading incorrectly. I’ve pointed out to you where you’re going wrong. All you can say back is read it again or such like. You’ve no point to make.

 

[Apple Sky]

Why?

Because creation is important, especially Genesis 1 & should be read literally as should most of the Bible really.
