Hello, everyone. My name is Pastor Tubbs, and today, I want to take a moment to talk about a topic that’s sparked curiosity and debate for centuries: the idea of a flat Earth.
Now, when we talk about the theory of a flat Earth, we’re looking at a perspective that suggests that the Earth is not a globe as we’ve come to commonly understand it but is instead flat, with edges and possibly a dome overhead. Those who believe in this theory often argue that the world we live in appears flat to the naked eye, and that many ancient texts and early civilizations shared this view.
The flat Earth theory raises questions that touch on both science and faith. Believers in this view often feel that what we observe on a day-to-day basis aligns with the idea of a flat plane rather than a sphere, especially since we don’t always feel the spin or movement that comes with a rotating globe.
This belief system has led some to re-examine the way they interpret both scripture and the natural world, asking questions about the creation of Earth and our place within it. Today, I invite all of us to approach this discussion with open minds and hearts, as we delve into understanding different viewpoints and the mysteries of God’s creation.
about science; it’s also deeply tied to questions of faith, trust, and how we interpret God’s Word. Many people who believe in a flat Earth base their views on biblical passages that seem, on the surface, to support the idea of a stationary, flat plane. Scriptures like Isaiah 40:22, which mentions God sitting above “the circle of the earth,” or references to the “four corners of the earth” found in Revelation 7:1, are often cited in these discussions.
Now, while some argue that these descriptions are symbolic or poetic language, others see them as literal truths that describe the physical shape and nature of the Earth. I understand that this topic can be controversial, and it can challenge some of our long-held beliefs. But I think it’s good for us to explore these ideas in the light of Scripture, praying for wisdom and discernment, and seeking to understand God’s intention behind these words.
Let’s also consider the practical side of this. For centuries, civilizations believed in a flat Earth before the advent of modern science and exploration. Even today, there are people across the world who hold on to this belief. So, when we look at this topic, it’s not just about which model of the Earth is accurate; it’s about understanding why people believe what they do and how our faith intersects with those beliefs.
I want us to think about why conversations like this matter in our faith journey. Whether we believe the Earth is flat or spherical, the core of our faith remains the same: trusting in God’s Word and seeking His truth in all things. When we explore topics like this, it encourages us to examine not just the world around us but the foundations of our beliefs.
One of the primary questions we need to ask ourselves is this: “How do we interpret Scripture?” For centuries, faithful Christians have grappled with questions of interpretation, seeking to understand when the Bible is speaking metaphorically or literally. Take, for instance, when Jesus says He is “the bread of life.” We know this isn’t a literal statement about His physical form; it’s a powerful metaphor about spiritual nourishment.
In the same way, when we encounter verses like Isaiah 40:22, which says God sits “above the circle of the earth,” we might ask: is this describing the shape of the Earth or conveying something deeper about God’s sovereignty and majesty? The “four corners of the earth” mentioned in Revelation could describe direction or extent rather than a literal shape. This doesn’t mean one interpretation is necessarily right or wrong, but it reminds us to approach Scripture thoughtfully, humbly, and with open hearts.
Another point worth considering is how we respond to mysteries in God’s creation. As finite beings, there are some things we may never fully understand. In Job 38, God speaks to Job from a whirlwind and reminds him of the mysteries of creation, asking, “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?” God’s words here remind us that while we should seek knowledge, we must also approach His creation with awe and humility, accepting that some things remain in His hands alone.
What’s more, conversations like this can strengthen our fellowship. They remind us that even when we have different perspectives, we are united by a greater purpose: loving God, loving each other, and living according to His Word. Our discussions and questions should draw us closer to God and to each other, not create divisions.
As we continue to learn, let’s ask ourselves how we can use our beliefs to bring glory to God. Whether flat or round, the Earth is His masterpiece, created with intention and love. And if we are driven to share God’s Word and serve His creation, our questions and studies are not in vain—they are part of growing in wisdom and love.
