Why am I posting this here you ask?
Well because the Flat Earth Society's main supporters are Christians.
They believe in the literal two lights (sun and moon) the stationary or fixed unmovable Earth and the surrounding firmament dome that separates the waters.
Hebrews have believed this for a long time.
Isaiah 40:22
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
Isaiah 11:12
*He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.
Job 37:18
can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze?
Job 28:24
for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
1 Chronicles 16:30: “He has fixed the earth firm, immovable.”
Psalm 93:1: “Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm ...”
Psalm 96:10: “He has fixed the earth firm, immovable ...”
Psalm 104:5: “Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken.”
Isaiah 45:18: “...who made the earth and. fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast...”
Genesis 1:16
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Mathew 4:8
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
Revelation 7:1
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.
Now we have a dilemma because either the book is wrong or science is wrong.
This is the dilemma the Flat Earthers faced and its exactly why they became Flat Earthers.
The Bible just happens to never say the Earth is Flat or Round, I happen to believe that the Earth is Flat AND round... Flat on it, round off it... The Sun is a light and the Moon is like a reflector of the sun so like a night light.
The firmament is our atmosphere and thus the world is stationary along with it, unmovable so to speak.
Sitting outside in an open plain and looking up at sky I can see a dome... So before flight it would have been unnecessary to go into detail from Gods perspective and say "Adam, check it out, I made the Earth round lol trippy huh?"
But God did give us the details we did need by saying that the stars will be signs for the seasons
We went to the moon, and we saw the round ball earth, something God sees without a space suit.
The moon phases are absolutely beautiful! Every relation from the moons orbit and our orbit and Jupiter fending off those pesky comets and just blows my mind how rare this goldy locks haven is in this vast universe. We even get little glimpse of the round earths shadow against the moon.
The Earth is a closed system, we still cannot send humans out of low earth orbit because it's that solid.
But if God wills that our technology allows us to explore beyond then maybe we will all have the privilege to explore his many rooms.
....or the Earth is just flat and everyone is lying to us
