Flat earth

I do not live at the see at this time but when I sailed boats off the coast of Florida the beach would disappear as we went farther out. Eventually the land would disappear. When I sailed from LA and California I could see the mountains for a long time but the elevations are much different than they are in Florida. When I sat at the tiller I was not much more than 6 feet off the whater. I could see the shore line but I was looking for the rocks marking the entry to the harbor. I do remember looking for the rocks that mark the harbor and was happy when they came into view.

I do not understand how the Flat earth society explaines time zones since if the earth is flat there could be none. I do not understand how the Flat earth society also would not explain the seasons and the dark in Barrow during the winter if the earth was flat. Eratosthenes of Alexandria (circa 276 to 194 or 192 B.C.) calcuated the circumference of the earth “within 50 miles of the present estimate.” He was also the first to calculate the tilt of the Earth's axis with remarkable accuracy. The Greeks understood that the earth is round by observing lunar eclipses when the earth blocks the sun from the moon, casting its round shadow on the moon's surface which they predicted using some of the same math . Another method is simultaneously measuring the length of the shadows cast by identical poles perpendicular to a flat surface that is tangential to the earth's radius at various, distant locations.

We see written in the Bible about 700 BC

Isaiah 26:7 He stretches out the north over empty space;

He hangs the earth on nothing.

Isaiah 40:22

22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who ustretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a vtent to dwell in. And what was written about 2000+ is a God's eye view of earth Job 26:10 He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, At the boundary of light and darkness.

Some people think the Bible says that the earth is flat because of Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?" But the word ends actually means something far off or maybe hidden. The word is only translated ends twice and wings 74 times.

We do see in the phrase "ends of the earth" Jeremiah 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and [things] wherein [there is] no profit.

This verse is not talking about geography but the failure of men to do what is right.

The word ends here is a different word ephec which has to do with failure or our end upon the earth and not the end of the earth itself. The next verse is Jeremiah 16:20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they [are] no gods?

This would take us to the idea of what or who are these Gods:gods we make?
