Flat Earthers: You argue that the Bible says the earth is flat. The Bible also says the earth has corners. Where exactly are those corners geographically?

Are there really that many flat earthers here?

Do you think the land of Israel is shaped like a square?
flat?

Ezekiel 7 - upon the four corners of the land
It tells how the worst of the heathen will be sent against her to destroy.

No. I am wondering if flat earthers can tell me where the corners of the earth are, geographically. We should be able to see them.

I know if I were to ask you where they are on the globe, the standard answer is they are the 4 main directions. Flat Earth models also have the same directions. Be content with that.

So, flat earthers as selective literalists? Imagine that.

A direction, cardinal or not, isn't a corner. Perhaps the supposed 'flatness' of the Earth isn't a property of its surface topology either...

Why should anyone give this thread the time of day? All you are looking to start is an argument.

I am genuinely curious if there are flat earthers here who believe the earth actually has corners. They use biblical literalism to argue that the earth is flat. Biblical literalism also says the earth has corners and pillars.

I know the point was just to find a reason to mock. I will in no way take your question seriously. You got what I gave, and that's all there will be.

Fair enough. If you are ever able to measure a curve, you let me know.

Challenge declined then? If the earth is flat with four corners, I want to see the evidence.

You gave something but it wasn't clear what your were trying to say.

From what has been told to me by the smartest Bronze Age Pseudoscientists, the corners are hidden under the ice sheets of Antarctica and NASA and the UN will not let anyone see them because of the Round earth Agenda.

Sounds to me like they’ve got those round earthers cornered.

I can. Apparently flat-Earthers can't.

Ok.

What do you think about this?
