This is taking the term out of context. The term is actually meant to refer to that part of creation distinct from the heavens, upon which the whole of God's creation (God's world) has been placed upon.
As usual you completely misunderstand.
I was not talking about the bible teaching flat earth.
YOU said that when the bible speaks of earth, it is talking of the dry land. You used scripture as an example that earth meant dry land and seas was used for water. Based on that, when the bible says 'It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth' it means he that sits on the circle of the dry land.
In other words, either circle of the earth is not talking about the planet as a sphere, or your contention that earth in the bible means dry land is incorrect. Obviously, the planet is not just dry land.
Did you not grasp it when I said there are different continents around the world ?
1Sa 2:8 He raises up the poor out of the dust; He lifts up the needy from the dunghill to set them among princes; yea, He causes them to inherit a throne of honor; for to Jehovah are the pillars of the earth; and He sets the habitable world on them.
The pillars of the earth is dry land =earth
Just like I just said.2Sa 22:16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were uncovered, at the rebuking of Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
Incorrect. "World," here, is all of God's creation--i.e. God's world.Here is the difference.
Job 34:13 Who has given the earth as a deposit with Him? Or who has set the whole world in order?
World is the planet.
