Support Job 26:7 ( the way it is falsely translated) from other areas of the Bible.
Show just one verse that supports Job 26:7
I did not ask for an excuse, i ask for a supporting verse or versesI trust the King James Bible (circa. 1900 Cambridge Edition) is the divinely inspired Word of God and that Modern Translations come from a corrupt source that attack God's preserved Holy Word for our day. Here are 30 reasons (I posted here at CF).
30 Reasons why the KJV is the Divine and Pure Word of God for Today
I did not ask for an excuse, i ask for a supporting verse or verses
The Bible itself is not an excuse for anything (with the implied intent of something bad or untrue as some believe), but it is our very testimony of God. While many verses do have cross references, in some instances there is none. Take for example 1 John 5:7 (KJV) that says, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” The same is true for 1 John 5:8. There is not another testimony or witness in Scripture confirming the truth expressed in 1 John 5:8. It does not invalidate 1 John 5:8.
Jesus said Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but His words will not pass away.
We have to think that Jesus is one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. So this means that all words expressed under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit are God the Father's words and they are the words of our Lord (i.e. the Lord Jesus), as well.
Jerusalem (North) is Above According to Galatians Four.
25 "For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all."
(Galatians 4:25-26).
In Galatians 4, Sarai/Isaac is paralleled with Jerusalem (Representing Faith and Freedom) and Hagar/Ishmael is paralleled with Mt. Sinai (Representing Law and Bondage). Again, I believe Mt. Sinai is Mt. Jabal al Lawz in Saudi Arabia - Which lines up with Paul essentially saying, Jerusalem is above Mount Sinai in Arabia (i.e. Saudi Arabia)).
The phrase, “Jerusalem, which is above [Mount Sinai],” clarified that Jerusalem and Mount Sinai corresponded to the same line of longitude. “Above” is translated from the Greek ano, a word that can also mean “upward” or “on the top” (ibid., #507). It appears in the NT nine times. Of chief interest here is its specific geographical meaning of “on the north” or “northward.” The word was used in this manner by the notable Greek historian Herodotus (Liddell and Scott 1889, 83-84). Paul’s inclusion of ano defined Jerusalem as being north of Mount Sinai on his line of sustoicheo.With these observations in mind, the geographical concepts in Galatians 4:25-26 can be summarized as follows:
1) Mount Sinai was in the Arabia of Paul’s day. 2) Sustoicheo: Jerusalem and Mount Sinai were on the same line of latitude or longitude. 3) Ano: Jerusalem was north of Mount Sinai. 4) The north-south relationship puts Jerusalem and Mount Sinai on a similar meridian of longitude.
Plotting Paul’s location for Mount Sinai
The map in Figure 4 shows the 35-15’E longitude meridian that passes just east of the Old City of Jerusalem. Moving southward, the line crosses the mountains of western Jordan, the ancient place of Mount Seir. Long before the Exodus, this region was synonymous with Edom, land that had been divinely granted to Esau, the brother of Jacob (Israel). Several arguments exist for not placing Mount Sinai in Edom, among them the biblical injunction that Esau’s territory was not to be violated by the Israelites.
It must be taken under consideration that Jerusalem is not higher in elevation from Mt. Jabal al-Lawz in Saudi Arabia (i.e. Mt. Sinai).
So Flat Earthers cannot object and say that Jerusalem is above in relation to elevation here.
Note: If you never heard about Jabal al-Lawz in Saudi Arabia as being Mt. Sinai, then you need to check out the following video (within my post). For it reveals amazing discoveries made at Mt. Sinai. Such as Elijah's cave, certain artifacts, and the split rock (showing us that it is indeed Mt. Sinai).
In fact, today, people have witnessed the burned top of Mt. Sinai. A Mountain that is now called "Jabal al Lawz" in Saudi Arabia. A mountain that you can see that is burned at the top.
Exodus 19:18
"And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly."
Also, in the same location near the ground, we see the cleft rock, as well.
Psalms 105:41 says,
"He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river."
If you don't like the resolution of the video at YouTube, I do believe the DVD is still available on Amazon or other select sites.
Anyways, getting back on topic: Galatians 4:25-26 is telling us that Jerusalem (Which is North of Mt. Sinai) is above. On a Flat Earth, North is considered the center point of a pizza or flat disk. There is no true North on a Flat disk. Maps would look like one would be going up or above, but on a flat disk Earth, going in the direction of North would not be going "above" but it would be going to the center of the map. North would technically be a lie. Yet, God's Word using directions of North, South, East, and West many times.
Note: Here is an illustration of a false map (showing North) according to the Flat Earthers:
And here is an illustration of the real world we live on:

Do not think to lecture me on what Christians' believe.
It's kind of obvious everyone knows the Earth is round. It's like saying that flight travel is fake or something. It's just dumb.
When men were sent to the moon, flat Earthers are essentially calling them liars.
It's a government conspiracy. For what? What purpose? It makes absolutey no sense.
Indeed. I'm still trying to understand what would make people say something so silly.
They also describe as liars millions of people who have taken flights which Flat Earthers say don't exist, millions of people who experience Southern stars at night and long days in the Southern summer, millions of astronomers, and millions of map-makers and surveyors.
A conspiracy that has, they claim, lasted 2500 years, through the rise and fall of Alexander and the rise and fall of the Romans. It truly makes no sense at all.
Well, there are only 10,000 astronomers alive currently
There's a lot of amateur astronomers out there, actually.

30 Reasons why the KJV is the Divine and Pure Word of God for Today
Me? I'm a trinitarian.Especially not Non-Trinitarians.
What is also a mystery, is how many, will reject evolution, But accept from the same science, the lies about the outer space, globe earth, flying in a little metal cylinder 230,000 miles to a rock floating in outer space, etc.....
There is a huge difference between the two.
Creation vs Evolution
The Bible implicitly teaches creation over 6 days.
We are given the order of creation which is completely different from evolution
We are told God made man from the dirt, breathed into him and he became a living person which could not be any more different from evolution.
Jesus quoted from Genesis
Paul talks about the people in Genesis.
God creating in 6 days is mentioned twice in Exodus, a completely different book from Genesis.
Creation underpins many doctrines such as where sin came from, why Jesus is the second Adam, why we wear clothes and marriage.
Flat earth vs a sphere earth.
The only scripture on the shape of the earth says that the earth is a circle.
There are no verses saying the earth is flat and also none saying it's a sphere.
There are no doctrines based on it so nothing is to be gained by believing or not believing what the shape is.
The shape of the earth is not a Biblical teaching apart from us knowing it isn't a cube or any other odd shape. Which means flat earth is a man-made teaching. If the Bible truly taught a flat earth I would believe it, but it doesn't.
