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.

The gospels don't match each other either...

Of course, this is what brought one trial attorney to Jesus. He said that whenever you have several witnesses who's testimony are pretty much identical, it means there is collusion. Real, and sincere witnesses will give slightly different testimony but will remain consistent with the key facts.

That is why one of the gospels says that the two men on crosses beside Jesus reviled him, yet another says that one "came to his defense." Yet both may be right, for one can revile one minute and have a change of heart the next.

Of course those who want to condemn the Bible call this an obvious discrepency...

The attorney would have thought that the gospels were "made up" if they matched too closely.

Dan 4:6 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise [men] of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.

Dan 4:7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.

Dan 4:8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, [saying],

Dan 4:9 O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

As you should have noticed the verse referencing the circle stated AS a curtain and AS a tent. The word AS is used as a comparison, or is that to hard to understand.

The CONTRADICTION you stated was found in a dream. Are you saying that if a character in the Bible has a dream that dream must coincide with every other passage in the Bible, or should we see that since it is a dream it is obviously not literal. It seem that the more people try to find fault with the Bible the more they just prove they have not read it. You will NOT find a contradiction unless you take passages out of context.
