The Bible is a Flat Earth book from from Genesis to Revelation.

The Defeat of Satan

"And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them, and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." -- Revelation 20:7-10 ESV

But, the Bible is also a Globe Earth book from Genesis to Revelation. Why? Because the deception talked about in the above passage has to do with believing in God and Jesus salvation, AND being on God's side, in favor of Him rather than against Him. It doesn't have anything to do with the shape of the earth.

Cool

BADecker, notbatman is right on this point. The Bible clearly describes the FE model, in many verses, not just one. Not sure why you are fighting this. All Christians, for centuries, believed that Earth is flat and in the center of the universe until Copernicus and Galileo showed them that it is not the case.

It is funny to see how your delusion overlaps with his and two of you keep arguing about your delusions.

Earth is a globe, Earth is 4.5 billion years old, we are primates belonging to the Ape Family, Earth spins on its axis, rotates around the Sun, our solar system spirals around the black hole in the middle of our galaxy. Those are the facts.

notbatman is right if you use the particular translation. Check out https://biblehub.com/revelation/20-9.htm to see the different ways the various translators translate this. Check out Bible Gateway - https://www.biblegateway.com/ to find more translations.

Also, check out verse 8 - https://biblehub.com/revelation/20-8.htm, and in notbatman's quoted post, above - where it talks about the four corners of the earth. So we see that the wording of this paragraph - verses 7 thru 10 - is very figurative, as is the whole chapter. It doesn't have anything to do with describing the shape of the earth. Rather, it is used to denote peoples from all around the earth. But not the shape of the earth.

There is no proof, but only speculation with a little scientific indication, that:
- the earth is 4.5 billion years old;
- that evolution is real;
- that there is a black hole in the center of our galaxy.

How can we tell that these things are not known to be real or true or factual? Because we don't know that universe physics, the electromagnetic spectrum, and time weren't different when the light we are currently receiving was broadcast. Until we know how those things operated back then, and what their laws were, we will never be able to tell if any of the above 3 things are anywhere near true.

Cool

Sure, the world is a magical place for you, isn't it? and yet, you know how the "things operated back then" because some Jewish scribe wrote them down? Where is your skepticism? Went out of the window the moment you open the Bible?

notbatman and you are like two peas in a pod.

BTW, why do we need translations of the Bible? Ask God to write them in modern English. He knows English, doesn't he?

Better yet, ask God to post in this thread and explain to everyone the shape of our planet.

And more importantly, why God does not have a website, a call center, an email address? Why not?
