Sacred Scripture and the Flat Earth

Sacred Scripture abounds with texts which make much more sense once one accepts the flat earth. It is not meant to be a scientific text yet Catholics are entitled to take it literally, as the magisterium has made very clear.

Genesis 1-7 God, at the beginning of time, created heaven and earth.  Earth was still an empty waste, and darkness hung over the deep; but already, over its waters, stirred the breath of God.  Then God said, Let there be light; and the light began.  God saw the light, and found it good, and he divided the light from the darkness;  the light he called Day, and the darkness Night. So evening came, and morning, and one day passed.  God said, too, Let a solid vault arise amid the waters, to keep these waters apart from those;  a vault by which God would separate the waters which were beneath it from the waters above it; ....

​

14-18 Next, God said, Let there be luminaries in the vault of the sky, to divide the spheres of day and night; let them give portents, and be the measures of time, to mark out the day and the year; 15 let them shine in the sky’s vault, and shed light on the earth. And so it was done.

​

God made the two great luminaries, the greater of them to command the day, and the lesser to command the night; then he made the stars. 17 All these he put in the vault of the sky, to shed their light on the earth, 18 to control day and night, and divide the spheres of light and darkness. And God saw it, and found it good.

Psalm 104:5 The earth thou hast planted on its own firm base, undisturbed for all time.

​

Psalm 93:1 The Lord reigns as king, robed in majesty; royalty the Lord has for robe and girdle. He it was that founded the solid earth, to abide immovable.

​

Psalm 148:4 Praise him, you highest heavens, you waters beyond the heavens

​

Proverbs 8:25-30 when I was born, the mountains had not yet sunk on their firm foundations, and there were no hills; not yet had he made the earth, or the rivers, or the solid framework of the world. I was there when he built the heavens, when he fenced in the waters with a vault inviolable, when he fixed the sky overhead, and levelled the fountain-springs of the deep. I was there when he enclosed the sea within its confines, forbidding the waters to transgress their assigned limits, when he poised the foundations of the world.

​

Isaiah 40:21-22 What ignorance is this? Has no rumour reached you, no tradition from the beginning of time, that you should not understand earth’s origin?  There is One sits so high above its circle, those who live on it seem tiny as locusts; One who has spread out the heavens like gossamer, as he were pitching a tent to dwell in.

​

Isaiah 66:1 Thus says the Lord, Heaven is my throne, earth the footstool under my feet

​

Matthew 4:8-9 Once more, the devil took him to the top of an exceedingly high mountain, from which he shewed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,  and said, I will give thee all these if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 

​

Revelation 7:1 And now I saw four angels, standing at the world’s four corners, and holding back the four winds of the world, so that no wind should blow on land or sea, or upon any of the trees.
