So you're saying that Jesus and the Apostles thought the world was a flat?

It comes from apartmentalized thinking.

They also opposed the use of condominiums.

Yes, co-ops are more compatible with communism which the early apostles
lived under according to _Acts_.

They knew the earth was round, as stated in-Job 26:7 He stretcheth out
the north over the empty place, [and] hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Where in that does it say the Earth was round?

Isa 40:22 [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and
the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the
heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Circle != sphere. Ancient Sumerian mythology had the earth as disc-shaped.

As well, I'd be curious to see what the original Hebrew says. Let's get to
the bottom of what the writers believed, not to some post-hoc reinterpretation
by people from the 16th century who knew full well that the Earth was a
sphere.

the original hebrew was the word for "compass." they didnt have a word
for "sphere" as far as i know, but they did have words for "ball" and
other like terms.

what the bloody hell does this have to do with *anything*?- Hide quoted text -

"Acts 28:13 states: "And from these we fetched a compass." Modern
translations of the Scripture, however, refute this subterfuge by
correctly rendering the passage: "And from there we made a circle." "

and:

"the translators of the Bible have used the word "compass" where the
alternative "circle" could be substituted. The Interlinear Greek-
English New Testament renders the passage: "Whence having gone round
we arrived at Rhegium." In either case the Greek perierchomai is
interpreted as circle, round, or compass. One of the primary
definitions of "compass" is round or circular."

and of course this *still* has nothing to do with the fact that the
earth is not a circle.

In 2 dimensions it is.

no, actually it isnt. but even if it were, how would that be relevant
at all? in one dimention, its a line. why not say "line" in the bible
then? why use 2 dimensions? shouldnt 3 dimensions make more sense, to
represent the father, son, and holy spirit? what about 7 dimensions -
i hear the hebrews liked 7 a lot?
