You didn't read any of the verses I cited, did you? The verse concerning infectious disease has to do with instructions on cleaning oneself after handling dead bodies or rotting meat.

I read them all and the connections are ridiculously thin. The problem with the verse you cite here is it mentions nothing about disease processes and is in the context of slaughtering animals and handling of them.

So I'm lying or stupid for saying a circle/sphere is round?
Don't be obtuse...oh, wait!

Yes, you are one or both in the context you stated it. When talking about flat earth the words circle and sphere mean totally opposite things so conflating them is either disingenuous or stupid. You picked a very new and very rare translation to support your opinion. For the vast majority of the time the Bible has been translated into English the word circle was used, you picked the newer sphere version. If you had used the more traditional translation of circle it would have gone directly against your point.

If you aren't aware of the difference the words circle and sphere have in the context of a flat earth discussion you are ignorant, if you understand the difference but choose the rare translation in order to "cite authority" then you are disingenuous. You are simply one or the other here, I assumed one but you are working on proving the other.
