No The Bible Does Not Say The Earth Is Flat.

The speaker doesn’t believe in the flat earth theory and explains that this belief doesn’t affect their faith in Jesus. They argue that the idea of a spherical earth predates NASA and was understood by ancient Greek scholars. They also emphasize that the Bible doesn’t explicitly teach that the earth is flat and that such interpretations are taken out of context. Lastly, they argue that limiting God’s creation to a flat earth diminishes His power, as He is capable of creating an infinite universe.

and i just want to take this time to basically say the reasons why i don’t believe in flat earth some people get they get pretty upset because in their world view you have to believe in flat earth to believe in jesus which i don’t understand they say that if you don’t believe in flat earth then you’re mocking god’s creation which definitely is an illogical statement and we’ll get into that in a minute um here’s the thing though if you are a flat earther i’m not attacking you i still love you you know we should still be friends there’s nothing uh you know nothing wrong with being a flat earther what i’m trying to say is i don’t believe it and here are the reasons why i don’t believe it if you want to believe it that’s up to you that’s fine you know we could still believe in jesus together we could still be friends you know there’s nothing nothing separating us you know i don’t want this issue to divide you from me from anybody else because you know we all have the right to believe what you want okay if you believe the earth is flat that’s fine let me believe the earth isn’t flat all right so let’s just go ahead and talk about some of the reasons why i believe the earth is not flat all right so people always ask me why don’t you believe the earth is flat don’t you trust the bible over nasa of course i trust the bible over nasa but here’s the thing that a lot of people don’t really understand about that and it’s something i really want to clear up because um this isn’t about trusting in nasa okay it’s about truth logic and ultimately understanding what god’s word really says about his creation and that’s how you think and that’s exactly how i think too so let’s just break it down because this isn’t about nasa but a lot of people say it’s nasa versus the bible they make that argument but that’s actually a fundamentally flawed argument in my opinion because you know flat earthers like to say oh so you believe in nasa over the bible right well you must be going to hell well that doesn’t make any sense because those aren’t the only two options and here’s the thing it’s not even about nasa at all nasa didn’t invent the flat earth i’m sorry nasa didn’t invent the globe earth idea it’s been around for thousands of years the globe earth idea was actually figured out back in ancient greece before christ was even alive okay it’s not anything to do with nasa nasa didn’t create it nasa is just a agency of the united states government all they do is make rockets and go into space that has nothing to do with the flat earth the globe earth nothing that’s the straw man argument in my opinion okay again this is my opinion nasa and the bible have nothing to do with each other the globe earth has nothing to do with nasa it’s been around thousands of years nasa has just been around for what since what the 50s the 60s something like that so i don’t the globe earth idea no it’s been around for thousands of years the idea that the earth is a sphere has been understood for 2000 years or more way before nasa ever existed or anybody launched a rocket into space all right uh in fact you know like we talked about the ancient greek scholars they figured out that the earth was round basically by measuring the shadows on the ground and measuring how the shadow changes and that was in the third century bc i mean that’s over 2000 years ago third century bc it’s about 300 years give or take before christ walked to earth people knew the earth was round and that means people knew the earth was a sphere during the time of christ during the time of christ while christ was walking the earth so i don’t understand where this nasa argument comes from all right also the argument for this kind of modern deception run by nasa it’s just not true okay uh you know you can point to all these different things oh nasa is doing this nasa who cares about nasa i don’t care about nasa you guys focus so much on nasa that you lose track of the bigger picture the bigger picture is that the bible doesn’t teach and the earth is flat in my opinion if you think i’m wrong you’re free to think that i don’t care i’ve done the research i’ve read the scholars i’ve read the bible commentaries and nobody until recent times had believed that the earth was flat if you look at it literally i mean the this whole movement started like 10 years ago okay before that it was nobody really believed that so now let’s talk about the bible because that’s what really matters here guys i believe in the bible i believe every word is true i believe in jesus christ people are saying things like you’re denying the bible if you believe the earth is round you don’t believe in god you’re going to hell and guys i mean that’s just inflammatory it’s ridiculous and it’s totally not accurate back in my younger days i used to wrestle with this myself um i i wondered you know does the bible actually believe teach the earth is flat but it doesn’t and it’s pretty easy to understand that concept because when you look deeper into the word of god and you study it’s not about exactly what you see on the page it’s about the context of what you’re reading you can’t cherry pick verses and say well it says the firmament that means that there’s a dome over the earth that’s not what the firmament means guys all you have to do is actually look at scholars bible scholars who know what they’re talking about who understand the word of god better than 99.9 of people and they’re going to help you understand that this it was taken out of context all these things these 200 verses for supporting flat earth don’t support flat earth they’re actually taken out of context okay guys so we have to understand the ancient context of the bible and the time it was written and we have to read scripture in its proper context and we don’t import modern ideas modern conspiracy theories and modern ways of thinking into the bible because the bible wasn’t written for that it’s thousands of years old we have to read it in the manner it was written right so the bible describes god creating the heavens and the earth he’s not laying out a scientific diagram he’s just telling us who creates it and why it’s him it’s the lord he created the earth and he created all of the heavens psalm 19 says the heavens declare the glory of god right the heavens the heavens is space it’s the universe the skies proclaim the work of his hands not the dome the skies the heavens the infinite vast expanse of space and you know by saying that god could only create a flat earth and he’s not capable of creating a universe that’s diminishing the power of the lord his power is far beyond anything that we can imagine and trying to sit there and say that god can’t create the universe like nebulas uh galaxies black holes god can’t create that are you kidding me my god can create that my god the god of the bible the god of the universe can create an infinite expanse far beyond anything we can ever fathom or understand i mean to limit him saying god can only create a flat earth anything other than that is discounting god it’s it’s mind-blowing to me because you’re literally putting god in this tiny box saying that everything outside of the earth uh can’t be created by god god has no power to make the universe it’s just it’s baffling how can you think that it just doesn’t sit right with me and you know flat earthers you know some of them not all of them like to believe like they like to think if you don’t believe that earth is flat you’re denying god and you’re going to hell that’s just ridiculous guys it really is and the god i know the god of the bible is infinitely powerful he’s not limited to creating a flat earth and a dome with lights stuck in it right my god spoke the entire universe into existence galaxies stars planets black holes nebula and things we cannot even comprehend or imagine were spoken into existence by the lord god himself by jesus you know i i believe that god isn’t limited to the flat earth i believe he’s so big so huge so powerful so amazing that he created everything he created everything in the universe and despite the vastness and the infinite nature of the universe he still created it he created everything and we’re here to bear witness to that and be amazed and glory and give him glory for creating such an amazing universe for us to look at and study and despite the vastness of the universe he’s still close to us that’s what’s amazing he’s still close to us he’s still with us and he still cares for us and he sent his son jesus christ to save us despite this universe being so big okay so the flat earthers are going to be like oh well no that doesn’t make any sense because uh you know the universe doesn’t point to god of course it does look at how amazing the universe is god created that god created the big bang in fact i believe jesus christ is the big bang right now hear me out for a second because people think the big bang it’s some sort of conspiracy against christians no no i don’t believe so at all i believe the big bang is biblical and a lot of other people do too so let’s say uh a lot of people think that big bang is some sort of anti-god theory but if you really look at it and you really look at scripture you’ll see something amazing you see genesis 1 1 says in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth okay the big bang it created the heavens and the earth and john 1 3 says through him all things were made all things just like through the big bang all things were made right in my opinion the big bang in scripture go hand in hand science doesn’t disprove the bible science actually proves the bible they are the same thing okay when he spoke the universe was created he created it by speaking to me that’s exactly what they’re saying the big bang is it’s a singular event that made everything just like jesus christ so in my opinion that was him everything was created through him by him and for him the bible says that jesus is the alpha the omega he’s the beginning and the end so to me okay the big bang isn’t proof against god it is proof of god does that make sense all right so if you’re hating me right now and you’re like well you’re wrong well okay i have my opinions and i’m not the only one who believes this a lot of people do um so you know it is what it is and look guys i get it okay the flat earth theory is tempting because it makes you feel like you’re part of a secret group that you have some secret knowledge um and that you and your people know things that the rest of the world doesn’t it makes you feel special it makes you feel set apart from the world right and you know i understand that i really do trying to feel uh like you belong to something bigger than you are but that’s what the bible is guys you know and a lot of flat earthers think that uh they’re awake is some sort of uh you know government agent or some sort of uh you know deceived demon or something like that they believe that they’re the only ones who are right and while everybody else in the world are just basically jerks right and you know i hate to break it to you but we’re all the same nobody knows more than somebody else it’s really just like nosticism to believe that you found the secret knowledge and this secret knowledge enlightens you beyond the rest of the world that’s literally the definition of nosticism um you know nobody knows anything and all we can do is do the best we can so for me to believe that earth isn’t flat is okay and for you to believe the earth is flat is okay and for the people who don’t believe the earth is flat that’s fine you know i mean you don’t have to demonize people for what they believe and i’ve come to the realization that flat earth theory isn’t really built on science it’s not built on scripture it’s built on misunderstandings right i mean it really is and i’m not i don’t mean to be offensive to anybody but people say oh take a nycon p1000 and point it at the stars it’s going to prove everything that doesn’t prove anything i mean seriously look into optics look into look into lenses the nycon p1000 is literally just a uh a 1000 millimeter zoom lens it’s not anything special a 1000 millimeter zoom lens isn’t big at all if you really want to look at the stars through a zoom lens you use a telescope and what happens when you use a telescope you see rotating planets in the sky you can see the rings of Saturn literally from your backyard you can see anything you want you can go and you can see nebulas you can see galaxies all these things aren’t just cgi you can see them with your own eyes and no nycon p1000 isn’t going to show you anything because the optical ability of that 1000 millimeter lens is miniscule you need to get a real telescope go buy a telescope a real telescope is the same thing as a nycon p1000 just multiplied and scaled up by a lot but with the magnification we’ll show you anything you want to see and you’ll be able to see that okay maybe space is real because oh look here’s a nebula right these are the same nebulas that you can see and all the space telescopes like the Hubble space telescope and the James Webb all these images that are coming out a lot of them are visible from your own backyard you just have to take the time to get a telescope figure out how to use it and you know you’ll be shocked at all the things that you can see through it and if you don’t believe that the rings of Saturn are real you can see that too you can see everything it’s really not that hard and i challenge anybody that believes that a nycon p1000 a 1000 millimeter lens is has more magnification than a telescope really just look into the optical you know characteristics of these things and you’ll see this just incorrect it’s just patently false it really is um you know go get a telescope it’s really cool it’s really easy and you’ll be able to see god’s creation from your backyard and i know some people think that all telescopes are fake and there’s like some sort of cgi computer screen and telescopes it just that’s just i’m sorry it just it doesn’t make any sense okay telescopes don’t have cgi inside of them i’m sorry so yeah i believe in a god who made everything from the smallest grain of sand to the farthest star in the sky um i don’t need a flat earth to know god is real guys i look around i see the mountains i see the ocean i see the clouds i see everything the birds the creation already declares his glory creation i mean look how beautiful it is go outside and look around it’s so beautiful that’s god right there so next time somebody asks do you believe in nasa or the bible you know i’m gonna say to them i’m gonna say i believe in the god who made the bible and who made the entire universe so yeah i thank you all for watching this video and we’ll see you next time god bless you all
