What the Bible Got Wrong: A Flat Earth Part 3
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
In this series, we examine the ancient Hebrew cosmology of a flat earth and the apologetic defenses some Christians use to argue that the Bible, under divine inspiration, did not get this particular observation wrong. NOTE: Some countries are blocked from the original version of Part 2. For those having problems viewing Part 2, here is an alternate version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUpiz6d8Yys MUSIC CREDITS: Daybreak - Curtis Macdonald Between Shadows - unknown artist

The apologists are capitulating to science on the shape of the earth. The biblical view is just too clearly wrong even to the most ignorant. Now they want pretend the bible said the earth was spherical all along.
Logically then, they should be doing the same thing with the age of the earth, and evolution. They should be trying to find some way to make the bible say the earth is 4 billion years old and Genesis was a metaphor and Noah a myth.
After that they have to give up on David, Moses and Jesus as "comic book" characters, inadvertently mistaken as historical men. -
So Jews think the world is round and christians to day think its flat? hahaha Religion is so fucked up
-
If the bible was the work of an all-knowing entity, these discussions would not happen, because it would not be open to bucket loads of varying translations and interpretations. No.....the book shows all the ambiguity and fallacy of a man made document.

Part 2 doesn't work

they did have a word for sphere > "dur" or "duwr"
you suck at interpreting the bible. you must be a natural. natural people don´t understand it.
the bible is correctly interpreted and the earth IS flat. -
You are absolutely right the Bible does describe the earth as a flat and stationary object. What you got wrong is the "Bible is wrong". I will give you $100. for every scientific fact that you have to prove the earth is a spinning sphere if you give me $100. for every scientific fact I have to proof it is not a spinning sphere. Watch " 200 proofs earth is not a spinning ball"

The Holy Qur'an says that the earth has been made egg-shaped, referring specially to the egg of an ostrich, which is geo-spherical.

What a mess. I have a masters degree in physics.It so depresses me in the twenty first Century we still have the flat earth people. They, will not give up on religion no matter what is placed, in fact before them. We are still living in Biblical times. We are not the center of anything. Ignorance stills rules, but it is coming to an end!

I also agree with you, Bible Skeptic, concerning the misguided attempts of certain Christians to try to fit the Word of YHVH into a modern worldview, like a stubborn child trying to push a square peg into a round hole. I've met Christians who believe in evolution, aliens, space travel, who celebrate Christmas, Easter, even Halloween. There is over a billion so-called Christians who believe the pope is actually God's representative on Earth! If I may make a suggestion, I hope you don't judge the Bible by the actions of fallible men who claim to believe in it. It is apparent that you know the Bible well (better than most Christians I've met, I might add), but I wonder if you have ever really read it to see if it was true, or just to try your best to disprove it. Why don't you give it a chance? Cheers!

Omg before the video started a creationist propaganda advertisement for Prager university popped up. Lol

Interesting. But there's something you probably haven't considered yet.
I'm a christian, and I believe the earth is actually flat [go ahead, laugh].
So, your video confirmed to me that the Bible is truly inspired by God. Funny huh?
Did you know that there are a bunch of atheists that actually believe in the reality of a flat earth?
Here's an example: Top 10 Reasons the Earth is Flat
I think you are fighting from the wrong side man.
Peace. -
The writers used that word by no mistake! They correctly understood that the earth actually is flat! As the bible clearly expresses! This world is a land of DECIET! If we all understood how ridiculous our existence is.... Flat earth... Center of the universe... Only life in universe... We COULD NOT deny the existence of God!!! Wake up people to the lies ALL about you! We are not a tiny thing in this universe..... WE ARE THE FOCAL POINT!!.... GODS FOCAL POINT!!! God is awesome! May He bless you all

Mathew was 3000 years after

There is actually one bible verse where the shape of the earth according to the bible is clearly described as a flat disc and that would be Job 38:14 "The earth takes shape like clay under a seal".
There is no way to misinterpret what "earth", "takes shape" and "clay seal" mean. As well we need to consider that there was actually a hebrew word for ball which would much better describe the shape of the earth which is actually an oblate spheroid. The hebrew word is "duwr" and is used in the bible for example (Isaiah 22:18) where it states Yahveh ”will turn and toss you like a ball...". but then again they could have used rock or egg, or egg yolk etc..I am sure they had those around at the time.
So the bottom line is the authors of the bible did think the shape of the earth was a flat disc ( I guess supported by pillars with some kind of "dome" over it) because this is all they could make of what they could see and imagine. No all knowing being would described the shape of the earth if supposedly created this way assuming the intention was for it not to be disc shaped.
But then again they did not even know where the sun went at night back then. They were just a bunch of ancient misogynistic goat herders that were revising older myths.., not astronomers or astrophysicists or taking notes from any omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient being it would seem to be the case by all common sense. So either the world is flat, it was flat back at the time of the bible writing, god got it wrong, or the bible is wrong.
Take your pick. -
I'm not religious, but I know this!
How could they not have the words to write when it was suppose to be god dictating the words to be written, wouldn't he have spoken exactly as he wanted them scribbled down, and all this with a race just born and learning to write, read, and learn, sense the Jews believe themselves as the first born, and the chosen ones....but not in Noah's case, and the great flood! God wanted the Jews right off the face of the planet, and considered them as his only mistake, and would rather have nothing but animals on the planet, rather then a Jew, an abomination? Go figure, this is the literature written, the Jews writing about themselves and their glories of gods......go ahead, change the words, many did before you! -
I always called it the snow globe earth model. I'm surprised it never caught on but who cares really? The way I see it, one only has to prove that one single thing is wrong with the bible and it no longer can be taken to be a perfect book. It actually says in the bible that if you mate goats and sheep while they're facing sticks that are spotted and straked (striped) you will get little baby goats and sheep that are spotted and straked. This is not a perfect book.

"Spreadeth a broad." That's how I heard that. Dirty bible with all your talk of asses and cum.
-
If the world was so called flat why didn't the biblical writers just say it..... the world was flat. Words for flat did exist in ancient times. Liberal bias never fails.
-
So the ancient Hebrews couldn't describe the shape of the Earth because they didn't have any balls?
-
well those are synonymous.
