A sphere appears circular from a distance

Gideon, good friend,

Good to see (er, hem, not literal) you again.

A sphere does indeed appear circular from a distance. Actually your eye receives the light as in a conical shape. This is not difficult.

Again, all of the "flat, four-cornered, foundations, etc." are earth-bound views. The "cirle, hanging on nothing" are distant views or FORs. So the Bible should be commended for its accuracy and consistency, rather than its so-called "contradictions".

Of course, I have merely a fallible mind, for which God's Word is an ever-shining light of truth for me.

Cheers and God Bless.

Robert
