Isa 40:22 [It is] he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Perhaps one should read the all of bible before quoting part of it.

So your position is that the Bible contradicts itself and one has to just read the "right parts". I don't remember learning *that* in church. By the way, your quote doesn't exactly scream globe to me ... the earth is a big circle with a tent of sky over it eh? Doesn't much look like that from satellite photos.

Apparently Isaiah was a bit confused.

Isaiah 11:12
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. (KJV)

John also notes the flatness of the Earth.

Revelation 7:1
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. (KJV)

The Romans, the Catholic Church, everyone spoke of the "circle of Earth", but they didn´t mean a globe, they thought of a flat-earth with a round border.
