[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This guy shares some scriptures that he feels support the flat earth theory: 
http://www.philipstallings.com/2015/06/the-biblical-flat-earth-teaching-from.html

"It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in" Is. 40:22

"Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. - Matthew 4:8"

(his interpretations of those are on the link above)

He even has images:

I guess he is free to his interpretation, but I never would have interpreted those passages to support the flat-earth theory.  For one, God could be "above" a spherical earth, right?  The shape of an object does not determine your relation to it... right?  The Matthew verse I would interpret as a vision and not literal.  I mean, there is no actual mountain with a singular vantage point that would allow you to see "all the kingdoms of the world" even at that time.[/quote]
