So she insists she believes the word says the world is spherical but that there is a dome in the sky. I think she got bored halfway through the video after they stopped talking about the stuff from the bible. I see that the firmament is real but as someone who was raised catholic I assumed all religions agreed that it was a metaphysical barrier between heaven and earth. After reading through the comments here I feel like she probably got this from YouTube/ticktock and not from her church.
Comment on Is there any christian religions that don't believe in space?

So. the firmament is a thing.
Mostly these days, it’s considered to be allegory, as apposed to firm fact. but people- typically Young Earth Creationist types- will insist the english-translated bible is the absolute word of god meant to be taken absolutely literally. (and will reject things like aging and dino bones because it was made to look that way. for some reason.)
there are some middle-ground type people who espoused a belief that there was a solid shell of ice- the firmament- and that it melted to create the cataclysm written of Noah’s flood to explain why it wasn’t there, but was there before.
They, uh, also tend to go in for a flat earth.

But then why don’t they put 2 and together and think the water fell off the sides when the ice melted

So, uh, the Empyrean behind the firmament, made of fire/light, occupied by beings so holy, they are made of pure light; christianity is still a sun god sect?

I believe the ice wall thing was a theory proposed by Kent Hovind. Pretty sure he is/was in jail for tax evasion or something? When I was a teenager I ate his young earth creationist stuff up like candy.
