Note how Calvinists post insult after insult with impunity. They seem never to be off topic.
Nothing about how the Bible reflects some of the cultural bias of the time written! Or how the enemies of truth bring up OT views, but hide from the New Testament.
Your the one addressing me with insults (mean) but posting nothing about the attack on biblical truth by claiming it teaches a flat earth. Go figure.

Here are some of the NT verses mentioned in the first video:
Revelation 7:1 describes four Angels standing on the four corners of the earth, thus to the East and South and West and North of the author's point of view. This also describes from which winds might blow, thus stopping all winds. So while the author might not know about our spherical planet, to claim this teaches the earth is actually flat is agenda driven nonsense.
In Revelation 20:8, the four corners refers to every direction, such as to engage everyone. Again, to claim this teaches the earth is actually flat is agenda driven nonsense.
Colossians 2:8, here the principles of the "world" referring to the society of fallen humanity, is somehow aimed at the view that the earth is a planet circling the sun. More agenda driven nonsense.
1 Timothy 6:20 admonishes Timothy to avoid false science (knowledge) and stick to truth. The verse has no application as to whether the earth is flat or spherical. So another non-germane verse cited to bolster the false claim.
1 Corinthians 3:19 refers to the "wisdom" of the world, again with the fallen value system of humanity in view. Thus another non-germane verse concerning whether the earth is flat or spherical. More stuff signifying nothing.
Matthew 5:35 and Acts 7:49 The earth or abode of people is referred to as God's footstool, which refers to those under the subjection of God. These and similar verses have nothing to do with whether the earth is flat or spherical.
Matthew 24:29, Mark 13:25 and Revelation 6:13 refer to a star or stars in heaven falling or having fallen. This word refers to any light in the sky other than the Sun and Moon, and thus a comet or meteor or meteor shower might be in view. Again, none of these references apply (either for or against) the premise of whether the earth is flat or spherical.
