Flat Earth Theory

[David in NJ]

David, I'm politely asking you for an explanation.
If you know the answer then share it with us here.
If you are unable to then politely & simply say so

On a FLAT earth why does the equator never have days/weeks/months of total dark like the Artic has in Dec/Jan.
Are you able to link a site that explains the reasons for this ?

Very busy day today with relatives up from Texas

Talk with you tomorrow or maybe @doctrox may want to engage on the moon phases.

Question: Do you believe the sun lights the moon?

You appear to be the only reasonable 'flattie' to interact with here.
Yes, the sun lights the moon

Please think of me correctly.

#1 - i am your brother in CHRIST = SAVED by the Blood = not of works, but by GRACE as HE Chose us = not vice versa

#2 - No one knows the true shape of the earth = God said so!

#3 - All of mankind dwell on the surface of the earth = Genesis & Gospel

#4 - The earth has great depth that no man/technology can search out

#5 - Feel free to call me a True Earther = Genesis

Time to think = God's WAY

#1 - God can do all things

#2 - God chooses to SAVE mankind from their sins thru the Precious Blood of Christ.

#3 - God's Will in Heaven is that we are conformed to the image of His SON

Luke 16: 14 -16
Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him.
And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts.
For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

2 Peter 3:10-13
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
ooking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Satan is "the god of this world" = It is he who hides the Truth of Genesis/earth

And God allows him to do so for reasons that 95% of christians know not of.

This is why God Says:
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

What benefit does Satan gain by hiding the shape of the earth, when we both agree that the shape of the earth has nothing whatsoever to do with salvation, and we both agree that Satan could still do his nefarious work even if everyone knew the earth was flat?

We know how to split an atom for crying out loud. We know how DNA works. We are learning more and more every day about how the human brain actually functions.

Why is this one particular truth sooooooooooo important to Satan that he just HAS to do everything in his power to hide this from us? Or, to look at it another way, why has God overcome Satan in all these other areas, allowing us insight into molecules and the genetic code and to understand how vision works and how God designed our immune system, but God just can't seem to, or has no interest to, over come Satan so we can see the truth in THIS area?

What's so special about the shape of the earth/

@Crazy Ivan

Yes. This is demonstrably and objectively the case.

(and, well, light from distant stars also faintly light the moon)

The moon has no capacity in it of itself to produce light. It merely reflects light.

The moon has no capacity in it of itself to produce light. It merely reflects light.

The moon has its own light:

Isa. 13:10
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

Isa. 30:26
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

Isa. 60:19-20
The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

Jer. 31:35
Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:

Mat. 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Mar. 13:24
But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

Eze. 32:7
And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

Rev. 21:23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

They believe in a completely global conspiracy to convince us that the world is not flat. Why the need for such a conspiracy though? Like, IF the world IS flat, how does that affect your daily life or mine? We'd still get up and go to work and love our kids and go to church and watch football and enjoy our friends. Commerce would still happen. And there would also still be people who reject Christ in a flat earth. So what possible advantage could Satan gain from this deception?

And if God is able to overcome Satan and bring people to Christ and reveal His truth to people, is He impotent to overcome Satan and give us an accurate flat earth map? Seems like something God could do pretty easily. So where is it?

Every day that goes by that no flat earther can produce an accurate map is another nail in the coffin of flat earth credibility.

FLAT earth defies simple observable logic
eg
At sea level Fort Niagra NY 31 miles away over water the CN tower Canada was photographed
RH side shows the tower from a closer distance

Why is the bottom of the tower not seen if the earth is flat ?

Ohhhhhhh boy.

Isaiah 55:12 - "For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands."

Does the Bible teach that the trees have hands, and that trees actually clap them?

Moon is a light source, why didn't I think of that inc trees that actually clap :)

A non sequitur. IOW, your reply has nothing to do with the fact that the moon has its own light.

Since the moon is a MINI SUN then eclipses of the moon are not the moon at all and neither are the 1/4 & 1/2 moons that we see :)
