To that question, I would answer that I fully agree that I wasn't there when God laid the foundations of the earth, but I know from His word, that He, God, determined its measurements. He is the Creator of all things.

Not "the Father" as in God the Father. But the word used in Isaiah 9:6 is the normal word for "father", so there must be a sense in which Jesus is a Father. I would say it is in the way He called His disciples "Children": NKJV Mrk 10:24 And the disciples were astonished at His words. But...

Jesus doesn't say that His Second coming will be before the flood/trib. He said that before His second coming, people will be carrying on with their everyday lives regardless, just as people did before the flood came.

I looked up "greasy grace", and it seems it refers to the false idea that God's grace (which is biblical) is a licence to carry on sinning as much as we want (which certainly is not biblical). Paul wrote: NKJV Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Rom...

Well, there is Isaiah 9:6: NKJV Isa 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. I see that you have already said that the word...

I would say yes. Some of the things said by the Angel of the Lord could not be said by an "ordinary" angel. For example: NKJV Gen 16:10 Then the Angel of the LORD said to her, "I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude." Is it within the...

But what is the context of those words from Job? It is not a passage talking about the shape of the earth, but about the coming of dawn, and the way it makes the features of the earth visible: Job 38:12 "Have you commanded the morning since your days began, And caused the dawn to know its...

The Bible has all three tenses with regard to salvation. Christians are those who have been saved. There is also a sense in which they are being saved. But the final part of salvation, glorification, is yet to come. I have heard and read some refer to this notion as "Already....But not Yet,"...

If we are not saved, why did the apostles tell the jailer that he would be saved if he believed on the Lord Jesus Christ? How could John write to Christians: NKJV 1Jn 5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 1Jn 5:12 He who has the Son...

Thanks for explaining!

Well I clicked on your link, and it talk me to the 3 results from a search of ChristianityBoard for "debate over a sign from heaven." Those three results were this thread, a thread called "And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God" and one titled...

Yes - I read about that tip to Antarctica on Christian Forums. One flat earth believer, Dean Odle, refused to go, even though his ticket had been paid for by (I think) the organisers. Even though he hadn't been, after the trip, he claimed that it was all faked by those who did go, even the...

Jesus said it is: NKJV Mrk 8:36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

Yes. My point was that in the Church of England, there exists a wide variety of beliefs, from evangelical, sometimes called "low church", to almost Roman Catholic, or "high church." So the Church of England's belief system seems extremely flexible.

I fully agree. Not long ago I was regularly in discussion on Christian Forums with a dear Christian lady who firmly believes the earth is flat. Although we disagreed with one another on the shape of the earth, we each count the other as genuine Christian friends. We never ever insulted one...

It seems to me that what matters is what is the goal/aim of the progression. Straight away, with the first of the 8 points mentioned in the OP, we are faced with something which is contradictory to what we find in the Bible: "Believe that following the path of the teacher Jesus can lead to...

I was never a Roman Catholic, but before I became a Christian over 50 years ago now, I had been brought up from childhood to attend our local parish church (Church of England). Church of England churches vary, some being quote evangelical and biblical. The one I went to wasn't. It held to...

I agree. Matthew tells us that Herod ordered the deaths of all boys up to the age of 2 years, according to the time (of the star's first appearance) that he heard from the wise men.

I do agree that our focus should be on Christ. We are saved by Him, not because of what we believe about the shape of the earth.

I'm no scientist, but I think the fact that a ball as large as the earth has a strong gravitational "pull" which keeps water (and you and me) on the earth.
