My brother in Christ, I say this with respect and sincerity. I typed out what I wanted to express and used artificial intelligence to help organize these words, but the ideas themselves come from my own understanding and conviction. So even though the text is written with the assistance of AI, it truly reflects what I believe, OK, Luis?

I understand your perspective, and I want to be clear: if you question the validity of those images, I question them as well — without any doubt.

This is not just about science or photography; it is about where we place our trust. The reality is that no one has an absolutely unquestionable, direct image of the Earth as it truly is. What we have are images provided by institutions, and those can and should be examined carefully.

When we look at Scripture, the Book of Genesis begins by saying: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). The text then describes the Earth as “without form, and void,” covered by waters (Genesis 1:2), until God made the firmament to divide the waters from the waters (Genesis 1:6–7). This description does not explicitly define the Earth as a globe in space, but rather emphasizes a structured creation established by God.

In the Book of Job, we read that God “hangeth the earth upon nothing” (Job 26:7). However, this statement appears within Job’s own discourse — his human attempt to understand divine creation. Later, God Himself speaks and challenges human understanding: “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?” (Job 38:4), “Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the cornerstone thereof?” (Job 38:6). These passages introduce language of foundations, structure, and support, showing that human perception is limited and that creation is far more complex than we can fully grasp.

Prophetically, the imagery becomes even more revealing. In the Book of Revelation, during the opening of the sixth seal, it says: “the stars of heaven fell unto the earth… and the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together” (Revelation 6:13–14). This suggests a structured and ordered creation, expressed in symbolic language that points beyond ordinary human comprehension.

At the same time, Scripture shows that there are realms beyond our understanding. The apostle Paul the Apostle speaks of being caught up to the “third heaven” (2 Corinthians 12:2), reminding us that creation is far greater and more complex than what we can perceive with our natural senses.

I also want to clarify something important: when I speak about the Earth, I do not particularly like the term “flat Earth.” That expression can be misleading. The Earth we live on is not a simple flat surface — it is full of reliefs, mountains, valleys, oceans, and complexity. What I refer to is this material reality — the physical place where we stand, where we walk, where our feet touch the ground. In Genesis, the Earth is presented as this created, inhabitable realm — not defined in terms of a globe, but as the domain prepared for life.

If we consider our direct experience, several observations invite reflection. Water, by its nature, seeks its level according to density. The horizon, even when we rise to higher elevations, consistently appears at the level of our eyes. When curvature is shown in images or videos, it is often influenced by the type of lenses used — especially wide-angle or fisheye lenses, which can distort perception. These are factors that should be examined carefully rather than accepted without question.

From a spiritual perspective, we must also remember that deception is a recurring theme in Scripture. The enemy’s intention has always been to imitate truth in order to mislead (2 Corinthians 11:14). That is why discernment is essential.

On the other hand, we affirm that the Word of God is truth in its fullness. As it is written: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16), and “let God be true, but every man a liar” (Romans 3:4). This is not a partial truth — it is complete, faithful, and worthy of full acceptance.

So the honest conclusion is this: we cannot speak with absolute certainty about the Earth’s structure based only on modern institutional claims. After studying these things, observing the natural world, and seeking understanding through the Word of God, I believe there is much more complexity to creation than what is commonly presented — and that misinformation has indeed played a role in shaping current perceptions.

In the end, this is not about rejecting everything outright, but about recognizing that truth may be deeper than what we are told — and approaching it with discernment, humility, and faith in the One who created all things.
