Hi,
Maybe Isaiah was right all along he did know what a ball was and he did not use that in 40:22.
Isaiah said, "he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth".
If I am not mistaken there is only one place on earth that there is a perfect circle and that is at the equator.

Hi DrJones*,
I know the Earth is not a perfect sphere, that is the reason Isaiah did not use the word for ball.
I read that the diameter at the equator is 43 km larger than the pole to pole diameter
So maybe you could answer this question for me then.
At what point along the equator is the diameter of the earth less than 7,926.41 miles?

Hi,
I am amazed at many of the comments here and it raises several questions in my mind.
Maybe someone can help me with them.
Gen. 1:9, 10 tells us that all the land mass was in one place and it was called earth.
If a man was standing on the sea shore and began walking following the coast line he would eventually end up where he started.
Would this man have any way of knowing he was not on a flat piece of ground, except for the rises he could see?
If this same man was standing in the middle of the earth (land mass), there would be four points on the sea shore.
There would be the North, South, East and West points on the sea shore from where he was standing.
Would this not be the four corners of the earth (land mass)?

Hi Peg,
Peg says,
"there would have been no man alive to witness that
by the time man came on the scene, the earth was a very different place".
The land was all in one place on the third day and man was created on the sixth day.
So why wasn't man there?
When did the land mass get changed that he could not wittness it in one place?

Re: ball
Hi Kapyong,
Sigh,
But if Isaiah had said it was round like a ball he would have been wrong as the earth is not a sphere.
Isaiah says in 40:22 "It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:"
Where does that verse say anything about the shape of the earth?

Re Flat Earth
Hello ICANT,
ICANT says, "Granny I agree with thingamabob's message 115,"
Thanks, I got no idea what I am talking about I was just reading what the Bible says.
