Nothing in that article shows any Bible verses that say the earth is flat.

[FONT=&quot]Except among Biblical inerrantists, it is generally agreed that the Bible describes an immovable earth. At the 1984 National Bible-Science Conference in Cleveland, geocentrist James N. Hanson told me there are hundreds of scriptures that suggest the earth is immovable. I suspect some must be a bit vague, but here are a few obvious texts:[/FONT]
1 Chronicles 16:30: “He has fixed the earth firm, immovable.”​
Psalm 93:1: “Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm ...”​
Psalm 96:10: “He has fixed the earth firm, immovable ...”​
Psalm 104:5: “Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken.”​
Isaiah 45:18: “...who made the earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast...”​

But I am missing where this "flatness" is stated.... it doesn't even seem implied in those verses. Those verses could also fit for a circle (of course) a block or cube, with edges and really any shape besides flat.
I googled Bible flat earth, but all verses/claims are way too vague to have any legit arguments. The versus about the earth being not flat are more easily implied.

Isaiah 40:22
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in.

Job 26:7
He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.

Um, which is what I said earlier in the thread, that the writers of the Bible were geocentrists. They thought the earth was the center of the universe. That was the prevailing scientific thought of the time.

Anyone who has gone airborne on parking lot speed bumps will tell you, the earth isn't nearly flat enough...
