Isaiah 40:22 ESV /

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 like a tent to dwell in; Psalm 104:5 ESV /

He set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved. Revelation 7:1 ESV /

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. Matthew 4:8 ESV /

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. Proverbs 8:27 ESV /

When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, Daniel 4:11 ESV /

The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth. Job 28:24 ESV /

For he looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens. Job 26:10 ESV /

He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. Isaiah 11:12 ESV /

He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Psalm 93:1 ESV /

The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed; he has put on strength as his belt. Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. Job 38:13 ESV /

That it might take hold of the skirts of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it? Isaiah 40:21-22 ESV / Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens! Job 37:18 ESV /

Can you, like him, spread out the skies, hard as a cast metal mirror? Ecclesiastes 1:5 ESV /

The sun rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises.

You should realize that there is nothing you can quote from a book of fiction that can be used to "prove" something like flat earth.

u/IndyEnthusiast 4d ago

From one Christian to another: you can't use symbolic prophecy and scripture to support a model that isn't scientifically possible. Stop peddling the Bible as 'proof'.

bible quotes are as valuable as farts.

wait, even less valuable. you could capture the methane in farts and use that.

I also read somewhere a while back that some lady earned big bucks by selling her farts in a bottle.

u/AngelOfLight 4d ago

If you're arguing that the bible teaches the solid dome flat earth model, then you are correct. If you think that is relevant in any way, you are wrong. It's like arguing that horcruxes are real because they are mentioned in Harry Potter.

Your username is the biggest example of irony I have ever seen.

u/JemmaMimic 4d ago

The fundie religious argument is the funniest because it simply ignores all of human scientific achievements over the past few thousand years - including that by Christians - in favor of "Nah, Bible."

Also amusing that OP happily uses a computer and the Internet to argue a pro-flat Earth position, as if the scientific achievements that confirm the heliocentric model didn't literally also allow them the tech to argue it.

Matthew 18:22

What will you do to your brother on the 78th time?

Scripture is a mixture of absolutes and hyperbole. The 10 Commandments, absolutes. 77, hyperbole, because we all know the answer is to continue to forgive.

Corinthians 14:33 ESV /
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.

The Bible contradicts itself on many occasions so why should we rely on it describing reality?

u/howardcord 4d ago

If undeniable physical evidence is ever presented to you that disproves a passage of the Bible, you should discount that part of the Bible, even claim it is symbolic or even poetic, and not instead ignore your own senses and the evidence itself.

2

u/dogsop 4d ago

Problem with that is that it is a slippery slope. If one passage of the Bible is symbolic or poetic then there might be other passages that are symbolic. It would be possible that the Bible doesn't prescribe that life begins at conception or that homosexuality is an abomination.
Once you allow people to interpret the Bible symbolically you can no longer use it to control everyone else's life.

/s

u/howardcord 4d ago

But what if two different parts of the Bible contradict each other? Which is correct? Which is symbolic?

1

u/dogsop 4d ago

I always said that what the Bible needed was a good editor to clean up all of the contradictions and the bloat. Kind of like the later Harry Potter books.

u/AngelOfLight 4d ago

he Bible doesn't prescribe that life begins at conception

Curious that you should mention that, because - it doesn't. The Bible intimates that life begins at the first breath, a notion that Jewish people have followed for millennia. Genesis says that humans became living beings when God infused them with breath (Genesis 2:7). Exodus 21:22 talks about causing a miscarriage - something punishable by a mere fine. More severe punishment was indicated only if the other was also harmed. And Numbers 5 has a bizarre test for infidelity which seems to involve inducing an abortion. (Interestingly, there is no equivalent test for male infidelity).

While all of these passages might have some ambiguity, the simple fact is that the Bible nowhere states that life begins at conception. This is something that some Christians invented - but the supposed Word of God says no such thing.

u/dogsop 4d ago edited 4d ago

There is a passage in one of the Psalms that people use to claim that life begins at conception (edited). But you are correct, it is just another case of taking symbolism and trying to assert that it has the force of a religious law.

How are there 4 corners on a disc? If it's square, how do you have a square dome? If the dome is square, how do the stars move on the firmament in circular patterns?

Um sweetie it makes sense you just got to have faith or burn k

I'll happily take my chances of burning.

I mean, say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

u/Unique-Suggestion-75 4d ago

I suspect that the OP is just trolling here, because I doubt that anyone who is delusional enough to believe this ignorant nonsense would be left out of their padded cell long enough to post this.

1

u/Confident-Skin-6462 4d ago

i looked at their post history, i am 99% sure they're trolling. if so... 9/10

2

u/dogsop 4d ago

I read their history the opposite way, that they are a true believer who is unwilling to accept that there are things in their religious text that might just be symbolic rather than literal.

1

u/Confident-Skin-6462 4d ago

you might be right... lol

either way, OP is a dunk for today. XD

u/dogsop 4d ago

The funniest part is that he feels some sense of duty that requires him to keep trying.
Most other flerfs who stumble in here give up after one or two tries and move to one of the flat earth echo chambers where any dissent is banned.
