RE: Bible cosmology
We see all the pictures of a round earth from space. We see the videos of a rotating earth. Even if we don't look at that, flat earthers are never able to present a map of a flat earth consistent with airplane distances. Somewhere you'd have to have map distances 25,000 miles apart between cities and none of those exist. The longest flight is only 9,000 miles.
What I wrote here comes straight out of genesis and you need to go back and read it again from the bible and ask yourself if it makes any sense to you considering both the globe and flat-earth models. This is not a salvation issue, you don't need to accept this worldview in order to get saved, you only need to believe that Jesus is the son of God. But, this comes out of the word of God and I deem it as the truth more valuable than any man made science/fiction.
Isaiah calls it a circle, not a ball. Job mentions he doesn't hang the earth on anything but the north may be a reference to polaris as being the only point above the empty water. But can you explain 1Samuel 2:8 "for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them."? Its not hanging, its placed on pillars.
"We see all the pictures of a round earth from space."Indeed we do, most of them copyrighted artwork.
"We see the videos of a rotating earth."CGI and the ones you do see that are real are shot with fish-eye lenses only rarely revealing a truly flat horizon, most of them don't show the horizon at all.
Try looking at people sending high-altitude balloons with cameras. The footage shows a flat horizon no matter the altitude, so where is the curve? At times a video from NASA themselves will come out revealing a perfectly flat horizon for a split second but you won't see it if you don't know its there, most of the curvature is done in post-processing if not by lens distortion.
The globe earth was conceived by Pythagoras, a leader of a mystery school in Ancient Greece. Why would you believe a cult leader rather than believe God's word?
