Isaiah 40
22 It is he that sitteth upon the globe of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as locusts: he that stretcheth out the heavens as nothing, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.

A globe is not flat like a pancake as far as i know, as i said God knows how he created the earth.

Argue with God.

No that verse says circle just like you said originally. You have purposely changed the words in the verse. The verse does not use the word globe.

Looks like you had to go through a whole pile of different bible versions on the Internet to find that.

And to be frank, if Isaiah had intended to speak of the earth as a globe, he would probably have used the word he used in 22:18 (dur), meaning “ball”. Instead he used the hebrew word hug.

There are also many other verses in the bible that speak to the 4 corners of the earth etc.

Rightly or wrongly, it is talking about a flat earth.

Having said that, it is all okay because the bible is all about faith. If there is something not quite right in it, well that is okay as you have your faith and that is fantastic.
