Question for fellow Christians who believe in a flat earth. How do you reconcile all of this with the flat earth model:
The Bible says that Hell is in the HEART of the earth (Matthew 12:40). It is easy to see the heart of a globe, but not a flat plane.
In our three dimensional world, a flat plane would have to have some depth, which would make it a cylinder. A globe is a three dimensional circle, and Isaiah 40:22 says it's a circle.
Also, the Bible says that the earth hangs on nothing in Job 26:7, which makes sense if the earth is a sphere in space. And Job 25:5 says that the moon shineth not. Suggesting that it does reflect the light of the sun and does not give off its own light, which jives with the current model.
Also, you guys misuse verses on the 4 corners. 4 corners of the earth simply means the four cardinal directions of north, south, east and west. A corner does not mean flat. Leviticus 19:27 says, "Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard."
You see, the Bible describes the corners of our heads and our heads are more close to spherical, not flat.
The flat earth model doesn't work, because logically since Antarctica Is the ends of the earth and the whole outer ring, that is where the corners would be.
Well, Revelation 20:8 says, "And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."
So, according to the flat earth, the nations in the four quarters would be at the ice wall then? You see, the model just makes no sense. It is clearly talking about north, south, east and west, cause that is where all nations of the earth are, in the four quarters.
Lastly, another claim flat earthers make is that the firmament is the solid dome covering the earth. Well, Genesis 1:20 says that the fowls fly above the earth in the open firmament of Heaven. So firmament is defined as the first heaven or the expanse of the sky, not a solid substance covering the earth.
I want your thought on this.
