Read your bible.Then its unambiguously flat.
Sure. I might even start a thread on your Flat-Earth Bible for discussion.Read your bible.
Isaiah 40:22a It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth,
Question: Is the Arctic circle off-limits to God, or something?
Like "flat earth"?Don't be adding words to the Bible.
Had He said "Arctic circle," then they would claim it was an anachronism.essentialsaltes said:Especially concepts that didn't exist at the time Isaiah was written.

But you can draw one on a globe.Circles are two dimensional.
Take a marker and put a dot on the Arctic circle, then tell someone there's a dot that "sits upon the circle of the earth."essentialsaltes said:The Arctic Circle is not really a 'thing'. It is a descriptor created by people, like the Tropic of Cancer or the 49th parallel.

I've had discussions over the word "steel" in the Bible as well; they claiming it is an anachronism.Um, whoever says ' anachronism" is certainly correct.
"South pole", ftm, or any evidence of sophistication re geography

Can't God point to a dot of ink on a map or a globe?
yes. Because your dot sits on A circle drawn ON the earth. Not on THE circle OF the earth.But you can draw one on a globe.

How many circles of the earth existed in Isaiah's time?yes. Because your dot sits on A circle drawn ON the earth. Not on THE circle OF the earth.
It has everything to do with the earth.I suppose, but it has nothing to do with the earth.
So? God is speaking to Isaiah, using terms Isaiah understands.essentialsaltes said:The circles on the maps are not on the earth. They are human conventions.
