It's not about research. It's about the discussion.

If we're discussing the assumption that "the bible claimed the earth was flat" then provide quotes so we can discuss this assumption.

Otherwise simply repeating "The bible says the earth is flat" contributes nothing to this thread really does it?

I can't really discuss where you get the idea from without you telling me which quotes make you think it's saying the earth is flat. Since nowhere in the bible does it literally state so.

Sigh.. it doesn't say anything literally in the bible and if it does it's spun to mean something else, it'll always be manipulated to suit someones agenda it seems.

So you're not going to answer the question? Ok.

Lots of things are stated clearly in the bible. The earth being "flat" is not one of them.

You've already decided the inference is too vague so there's not much point, as with much in the bible it's open to interpretation.

Yes, so I'm asking you to provide your interpretation.

But it seems to be too difficult for you to discuss points you raise so whatever.

What would it matter what my interpretation is?

I didn't raise the flat earth point, I raised the point that it was known since the 6th century BC the earth was not flat.

My point being it wasn't proven after the scripture it was known beforehand, let's not have another sermon about it :/

Because you brought it into a DISCUSSION thread so pardon me for attempting to discuss it to no avail.

In simple terms. You said this...

And I'm simply asking where you are getting this suggestion from?

But you've just dodged the very simple question for about 2 or 3 pages stopping the actual discussion from moving forwards.
