Yeah – I admit it…I’m not going to put much effort into this. The people who made up the bible did not know that the earth was a sphere.
A circle is not a sphere. And the universe was once thought to be finite and the sky was a dome.

The word “immovable” must have an object. It does not mean that the earth is the center of the universe or anything of the sort. When we say a mountain is “immovable” athough human force (me pushing it with my hands), it might be by pushing against it with brute force, such as with a bulldozer. But clearly that mountain moves with respect to space as the earth rotates and moves around its orbit. I’m sure you would prefer to think of your own house as immovable. With respect to the earth and for your purposes it is. But a strong wind might still rattle your windows, or a hurricane could move it. How do you know immovable doesn’t mean “from it’s orbit”? So yes, if you want to start interpreting individual words in the Bible to mean something that they do not in fact mean, I guess from your perspective, you could interpret them as errors. I suppose that’s why they say you can “prove” anything that you want to prove.

I know! I know!

You could picture earth like a snowglobe that God can shake up for entertainment when he’s bored.

If the earth were flat, wouldn’t the sky have to be a dome?

This is funny… After reading for a bit, There is a section called “weaker arguments.” After I just read the weakest arguments I’ve ever heard. Why would the sky be a dome if the earth was flat? If “Chuwg” means “circle” and it is talking about the earth, why would this in any way
“prove” that the earth was flat. In days gone by, I’ll admit that people have tried to use the Bible to confirm what they already believed (ie the earth is flat), but to say that what this guy has written is confirmation that the Bible says that the earth is flat is just a little bit ridiculous. The people who wrote down the words of the Bible may have thought the earth was flat, because it wasn’t really an issue at the time, but based on what I read, there is no reason to believe that the Bible says the earth is flat. I really don’t think you even looked at the link that I sent you, and possibly not even thought very hard aout the link you sent me. Maybe you should reread the section below and explain to me what exactly, to you, or to the author believe indicates a flat earth. The Scriptures that were given in tha article certainly don’t.
