1 Samuel 2:8---Playing with words. If you construe the mantle as the world's foundations, there is no problem. No requirement for flatness.
Job 38:4-6---Same wordplay. Compatible with the Earth as we know it. And the language is conspicuously metaphorical. (Job 26:7 clearly supports the Earth as hanging in space ["over nothing"].)
Psalm 139:13-16---Spoken by a human being, clearly metaphorical. But "depths of the Earth" are especially consistent with a spherical Earth. (How one could be woven there is yet to be explained.)
Isaiah 40:22---The "circle of the Earth" is simply the view of the Earth that we see from on high.
No, all you are doing is seizing on straws and pouring lots of your own bias into words that are mainly metaphorical. In any case, the Earth IS as God made it---unless you are prepared to argue that God did not make it.
Oh, like multiple appearances are impossible for Christ? Please explain where in the Bible that limitation exists.
Meanwhile, the Earth is round, as God made it and we know by circumnavigation and orbital mechanics.
'as God made it' Show us a scripture to support this statement.
There are many which say otherwise eg 1 Sam 2:8, Job 38:4-6, Psalm 139:13-16, Isaiah 40:22 and many more
The first book of Genesis is good enough for me.
