Maybe this has already been addressed, but just in case, we have some citing the scripture that speaks of the four corners of the earth, and others cite the scripture that says God sits on the circle of the earth. So which is it I wonder? ;) Does a circle have corners? Or how can an object with corners be circular in shape? This example alone shows that there are things in scripture that are just in a manner of speaking and not to be taken literally....God uses poetic, spiritual language, and often hyperbole as well.

I believe every word of God is true, but we need to understand the intention of the Author with what He has had written and not take everything so literally.

There is only one Truth. God's Truth. In the world there are lots of lies from the enemy. So if we believe that the globe is a lie from the enemy, it can be said its a satanic lie. I do believe the earth is around 6000 years old. According to the Bible and also scientifically it says that we live on a young earth. If we go by the science that does not follow an agenda. God bless you
So your a fundamentalist Christian that believes every single word in the OT.
I'm not going to debate this with you..I respect your belief system even though I do not agree with it.

I also am not going to post anymore videos on here that can explain much better than I can why the earth must be a globe.

I mean, the consipracy would have to be so great and across so many different sources of information as to make the conspiracy impossible - and for what possible reason would there even be one?

Have you ever flown from NY to Europe?
Do you believe the plane goes straight across the Atlantic from, let's say NY - Paris.
Or do you believe the plane goes NORTH?

We'd have to ask why it goes North in its flight path but I believe the reply will not interest you.

I don't think this has anything to do with our Christianity which is why I hesitate to debate it.

God bless you too!

Yes,,the above was brought up pages ago - I DID happen to see the post.

But what difference would it make to those that want to believe the earth is flat NO MATTER WHAT?
None!

Thats fine. I am just a born-again Christian that comes from a scientific background sharing my beliefs like everyone else here. I did not come from a christian background, I was an atheist. I am with the Lord for 5 years. Praise Him. And yes, I did fly from Europe to Boston and other US places and I always wondered there is something wrong with the flight routes, but didn't know why. Now I know why. God bless

You call God's creation imperfect, just because you do not understand certain things. The way God made everything is just a perfect calendar. And our lack of understanding doesn't take away from His perfect creation
I might argue that creation isn't perfect yet, only temporal......God only called creation "good", not perfect. It has to "die" first in order to become perfect (renewed).

1Co 15:36
Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

(P.S. I'm not calling anybody a fool. Recommend to go to the link and consider that whole passage.)

The apostles didn't seem to know everything. I love all of John 21.

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
Yeah.
I just read John 21.
Much there to be loved!
Verses 15 to 17....
a member stated that he believes Paul...
and yet Jesus told even Peter to shepher His sheep,
to tend to the lambs and tend to the sheep.
ALL the NT is from God.
ALL the Apostles and writers are to be believed.

Verse 22 WHAT IS THAT TO YOU?
YOU FOLLOW ME!

Reminds me of the parable about the workers in the field...
they each got paid the same amount...no matter when they began.
WHAT IS THAT TO YOU?

Verse 6
CAST THE NET ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND YOU WILL FIND A CATCH.
Obeying Jesus always works!

Yeah.
Great chapter.

Hey Psalm....

Here's the reason flights head NORTH to get to Europe from NY...
also works from Europe to NY....

Because of the curvature of the earth,,,,it cuts down on time because the distance from NY to Paris is SHORTER if the plane goes North because the earth is "skinnier" up north - as a globe would be.

So there's nothing wrong with the route...
it's the route that makes sense if the earth is a globe.

This is why I said that a conspiracy to make us believe the earth is flat would have to be a great, big, conspiracy!
Pilots would even have to be part of it...
flight controllers,
captains of ships,

gosh,,,even flightaware.com would have to be a part of it since anyone could there there and actually follow a planes flight path!

But yes, praises to God for everyone that comes to Him!
Life is so much better when we know our creator.

Yes, there are many testimonies from physicists and also pilots concerning the earth. Also the whole mathamatics are based on flat earth and thats in official documents too. But it doesn't matter. Everyone can believe what they want. God bless

David, I love you in the Lord - truly.
But you're not explaining HOW believing in a globe is satanic.
Let me ask you this: Do you believe the earth is 6 thousand years old?
One little lie brought the world under the power/control of Satan


Think on this scripture = Jesus identifies the source of deception and the outcome of deception is murder = Rev ch12 & ch13

John 8:44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

The true scientists, aviationists, and such forth who know, must keep quiet or they are blacklisted and slandered to destroy any credibility of that which they know = as well as loss of employment = permanently in their fields.

That is not the fruit you have shown to bear here.

In fact, this, your above statement about you seeing "from Above" is contrary to your stated assumption that Jesus and Satan stood above on a mere physical mountain of this world. Completely contrary.
slander and false accusations = bad fruit

SEEING from Above = Fruit of the Holy Spirit

Not able to understand scripture "It is written" = lacking the Spirit of Truth

Believing the words of God = Fruit of the Holy Spirit

Believing NASA/satanism and mocking God's words = spirit of error

These two are not correct.

Believing the words of God
does not equal fruit of the Holy Spirit. It potentially means salvation, but not even that, for Satan and demons believe the words of God also. Fruit of the Holy Spirit is rather what the Holy Spirit assigns or prompts one to do, which may be good or evil works from good or evil men, and vice versa.

As for NASA, it is more and more obvious that you are as much as obsessed with their works, even blindly so. Which explains a lot. But truthfully, believing NASA--if their actions are ever fully known--simply, potentially makes one a victim, even innocent, as a child is innocent that believes people who's actions should be good when they are not.

"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance, that principle is contempt prior to investigation"
William Paley

"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision."
Psalm 2

Makes me wonder if our beloved flat-earthers think (feel) the Bible is in error if they embrace a round earth.

I can imagine that.

I was a ball earther my whole life. God has showed me the truth and I will never go back to the lie. What God's Word says is true, not what people say. If God's Word would say its a spinning ball, I would still believe that. But God's Word says otherwise. We should always believe God's Word, if it contradicts with our belief system, then we can pray about it, but we should never put our understanding above the Word. The same with spiritual things, If we feel God says something to us, it has to align with scripture. If there is contradiction, we go with what God says in His Word. You can mock, but God will not be mocked. God bless

Where does Scripture states that "Earth is flat" ?
