I'm getting at that the bible coincides with modern day science. So why would it not do the same with globe earth as seen in the passage of Isaiah and Job?
Our understandings of things in modern science is subject to revision. The Bible is claimed to be infallible, while science does not make that claim, even though many act like it.
So answer this. When did all the world leaders decide to start the big coverup of flat earth and fake globe earth? Are you suggesting it has been a coverup dating all the way back to 300 BC?
You're conflating issues. The true nature of our world has always been in dispute. It is only claimed to be 'proven' since the 30's, by photo evidence.

The ancient hebrews certainly didn't believe in a spinning ball.

Imagine being Christian, seeing a depiction of Christ or the Saints, and being angry and hateful about it. Imagine being a christan and calling another christian a cannibal for believing in the body and blood of Christ. The mark of someone very misguided. Notice how the same heresies that were, such as the icnonoclasts of the 8th century, are continually recycled for the newer generation by satan.
 
I wonder if he's a Jehovah's Witness? A lot of his theology seems to line up with the Witnesses.

Read again, Modern science confirms the scientific concepts in the bible, there's no conflict between the two. The most modern science does is expand on those concepts, but doesn't oppose them.

It has been disputed throughout history. Wasn't the church even persecuting those claiming it to be globular in the middle ages?
Because the middle ages is the gold standard of religious enlightenment and scientific reasoning right? :rolleyes:

You avoided the question. When did all the world leaders decide to start the big coverup of flat earth and fake globe earth? Are you suggesting it has been a coverup dating all the way back to 300 BC?

I'd argue that it's all false greek paganism based on sun worship.

That's really a stretch. Evolution and the big bang are two that Christians throughout history don't believe according to a literal interpretation of the bible. In any event, you're using 'modern science' as the standard to evaluate truth in the bible, and most bible believers will tell you it should be the other way around.

Point was the view wasn't "Established" in 300's like you suggested.

Like I said, you are conflating issues. Again, the view that the earth is a rotating sphere wasn't "established" in the 300's. ...In the modern era, I would say since the 1930's.
 
So the flat earth coverup dates back to ancient Greek paganism?
I'm saying geocentrism and heliocentrism were two competing ideas based around pagan beliefs, both of which over time have gone back and forth in terms of popularity. Famous people like pythagorus rejected both concepts.

Bible doesn't mention evolution or the big bang as far as I'm aware. If you know different please point that out to me.

Since you seem to be such the expert on the history of globe earth theory, please enlighten me. When was it first proposed? Who proposed it? What are the evidences presented (practical, mathematical, experimental, etc.)? When were these pieces of evidence presented? When did it start to become widely accepted?

It's my bedtime now. I'll read your history lesson in the morning. I'm looking forward to it.
 
Most Bible believers don't think the ideas are compatible with the text, as I'm sure you know. But others don't find a contradiction, just like a circle can be a sphere, I guess.
I always thought the two could exist harmoniously. Evolution as well. Somewhere in my head I also think Buddha, Allah, Ganesh and the Christian god could all be the same thing. The whole scattering the people all over the earth and confusing their language thing. Genesis, tower of babel, etc..
 
Not if you read Genesis literally.
I thought all of the bible was an interpretation ? A day to god is 10,000 years or something right. Says that somewhere. There is nothing to say that the 7 days in which God created the earth and the heavens and the animals and everything else wasn't in fact the big bang and evolution. Our measure of time is not god's measure of time and the bible doesn't specify the manner by which he created the universe.
