    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Believing is one of the acts or effects of a creature that is already born again.

    Flat Earth Theory

    Yeah that may be, but Polaris not being visible from everywhere is also possible on a flat earth, to be honest. That's why I like to focus on arguments which prove only one point of view.

    @Adventageous So, this is my manual telescope, found it on the Amazon from Germany: https://www.amazon.de/Celestron-PowerSeeker-70-AZ-Refraktor/dp/B003AM87PU?th=1 It has two lenses, 20mm (35x) and 4mm (175x). It even has a 3x Barlow Lense, for further magnification. But as I said, I don't...

    @Rudometkin Watch the little part from 5:30 - 7:00, where he explains what I mean by Polaris. The goal is to catch Polaris with this little, inbuilt scope.

    Flat Earth Theory

    I don’t understand why this is relevant or exactly what you are asking, so let me be precise: When seeing sharp craters on the moon, I usually have the moon as in the top, far above the horizon. But again, I don’t see how this is relevant to my question or concern, which is simply this: why am...

    Flat Earth Theory

    It’s 250mm and ratio 4.9, yes. But I don’t use any eyepiece, it’s directly connected to my camera, a simple DSLR Canon 80D. I also have a manual telescope with eyepieces, but I don’t know the technicals by heart, I got to look them up tomorrow when I am home. But it’s pretty standard, nothing...

    Flat Earth Theory

    I am sorry, but I have no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t know. But let me tell you the “problem”: At daytime, I can zoom into birds far away in the trees, and see them sharply. Then at night, I zoom into the moon and see sharp craters. Do you realize the problem? These two objects...

    Flat Earth Theory

    I don’t see how it would. And by the way, you just made another argument for the flat earth, I realise, or maybe not directly the flat earth, but something related to it, the distance and nature of the moon. Because, I use telescopes, and I like to photograph the stars and night sky...

    Flat Earth Theory

    Yeah I was asking for testimonial witness, here, too. That would be a beginning at least. On the other hand, if there really is this grand conspiracy, that would also reasonably suggest making some kind of promises or oaths not to talk about any of that stuff. And so the other side would make...

    Flat Earth Theory

    You have to include and dismantle the long-distance-photograph proofs, which is what keeps me interested in the topic, since I don't know any answer to that. This is such a simple proof without the requirements of further presuppositions.

    Flat Earth Theory

    First of all, may the Lord bless your family. Secondly, I am aware of the documents. What I meant by “assumption” is just that every part of every country in the whole world practically takes our current world-system (globe, space etc.) for granted, and builds and acts upon it. You can easily...

    Flat Earth Theory

    I am not so strict on the moon landing. They could have very well faked it. But suppose they did fake it. That’s a one time event. No one can really “check” if they went there 50 years ago. But this is totally different from asserting the whole space thing is fake, and the form of our world...

    Flat Earth Theory

    I assure you, even though the thing may be really fearful to some, that’s not the reason I reject it. I am trying to look at it objectively, and I currently just don’t see such evidence as might give credence to such a theory. I believe we should not jump to conclusions too early, that most of...

    Do the Ten Commandments still apply under the new covenant today?

    Real obedience, which is the one accepted with God, springs from faith. You quoted a text, here or some others: The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. (1. Tim 1:5) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision...

    Flat Earth Theory

    That would be a start. Because I realise that, upon the supposition of such a conspiracy, hard & solid evidence that is not purely testimonial may be hard to find. Though I don’t deny there may be, I even am sure there must be some clues somewhere. I know that, and believe that, since all...
