Flat Earth Theory

[Chihuahua]

No one is trying to escape gravity.
Gravity does not exist = it is the satanists must have, for their global LIE

Rockets are made to propel the WEIGHT of the object = thrust

Humans have created things that escaped velocity. Hydrogen is such a small element it can escape the Earth's gravity. Rockets counter the gravity of the Earth by propulsion.

I am not sure how a massive global governmental and corporate conspiracy accomplishes anything by lying or does anything for Satan. People that think a pizza being delivered to them might be poisoned can have a mental illness that convinces them of that. No one is out to get said person. There is no motive, no reason for it. Yet, a personal with mental issues will believe it.

Things fall upon the Earth from space. Good luck disputing that. Some objects, like meteors burn up in the atmosphere. They can in some cases, have enough mass to impact our planet. The moon lacks any real atmosphere and a simple telescope or really, the naked eye, reveal their impacts. Is that the handiwork of Satan? There is no "dome" protecting the Earth. The Earth is protected by a magnetic field and the energy absorbed in entering the atmosphere.

The reality in all of this is there are different types of people promoting it. Some like the short lived fame, or the money generated by video sites. Some do it for laughs. Others are mentally impaired persons that have issues to the point they are so convinced of the false reality via voices and such they promote it, and they convince themselves that the perception by society is false and they have some special gift.

#1 - you are mocking GOD = very bad

A person, Joe, disagrees with another person's unique viewpoints is not mocking God. Tim has social issues and says bizarre things. Tim tells everyone that God communicates with him through 9 foot tall angels riding upon unicorns that dance on invisible rainbows from the clouds in the sky. Tim has absolute certainty it is real.

Joe's hesitance in accepting Tim's account is not mocking God.

i was not speaking to his viewpoint

He made fun of God's words thru his viewpoint = thus my statement

 

[David in NJ]

I love FLAT earthers, they always make me smile with their no sense nonsense.
Some even believe the earth is a FLAT SQUARE :)
Rev 7:1 I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth,

He disagreed with your interpretation?

 

[Simple Dan]

What are your thoughts on the idea the earth isn't a globe, but instead more of a flat plane?

I've read pretty much the entire thread, quite the slog it was.

As far as I can tell, whichever preconceptions one might cling to, whether of the heliocentric or geocentric persuasion, the likelihood that any adherent could by evidence alone, be in any way willing to relinquish said persuasion, is practically nil, the opponents in question, each being fully convinced, that those with whom they are in disagreement, are either intellectually challenged, or spiritually deficient. The best arguments from both sides, being ruthlessly ridiculed, completely ignored, or dismissed out of hand.

 

[Psalm-147:3]

There is God's truth and then there are trolls on the internet laughing at you.

You can laugh. I do not care. You can mock. I do not care. All that matters is what God thinks, not what people think. I am His child, so the opinion of people don't define me or matter. It only matters what God says. God bless you

I am not laughing at you. There are people that quote those that have alternative views. Do you believe in God or those that say they speak for God?

You have presented another dichotomy.

The sun is going all over the place, the Earth is hung upon and the moon is riding along.

I believe the God of the Bible. I do not follow people or what anyone claims that they speak for God. God speaks directly to us in His Word

If it is a closed system, why are we hit with meteors?

 

[Psalm-147:3]

Stars can fall. Just like the scripture also says and what someone here mentioned. Just notice, everything falls down to earth, if we see shooting stars, they fall down, never up. Why is that? On a globe in outer space, they would fall in all kinds of directions, because in space there is no up or down. But what we see, what can be observed, is that they fall down.

Hahaha!

They never mentioned a hard dome firmament structure!

In fact none of those tests were to test escaping the Earth's atmosphere, but rather just tests of nuclear "detonation" at high altitude. Which [of course] actually showed the effects of gravity, opposite of those effects on the surface of the planet (instead of blowing "up" they blew "down." Which, yes, would cause concern of shooting nukes up into space--because they could be turned around by the gravitational pull and come right back at the Earth [duh!].

Yes "shooting stars" shoot through zero gravity space, but are indeed subject also to gravitational pull, and those close enough to enter the earths gravity range then fall to earth if they don't burn up from the burst of O2 in the atmosphere.

I have presented an observation.
The only dichotomy I see, would be the presence of someone such as yourself in a christian forum. Perhaps I misunderstand the word, no doubt, you will be sure to set me straight in short order.

Question;
Is it your determination to be rejected and ignored by everyone you come in contact with, or a circumstance completely beyond your control?

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

Seems to me that the idea of a flat earth is a lie.
Is it a flat round earth...or a flat square earth?
The OT speaks of 4 corners....
this would make the earth a square.

I guess if you accept that the earth is a globe you'll lose your faith in the Christian religion?
Maybe THIS is the problem....
Taking poetic language literally - when it's not meant to be taken literally.

I'M JUST LOOKING FOR A DECENT MELODY
A SONG
THAT I CAN SING IN MY OWN COMPANY.

Does the above mean that I haven't yet found any song that I can sing to myself?
Or does it mean something else?

Do you believe in poetic language?
Do you believe it didn't exist before the 21st century?

 

[GodsGrace]

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

Sure.
You could believe whatever you want to...
this is not a salvation issue.
(and even then a person could believe what they wish to).

However, when you post a belief on these threads,,,
you will, of course, receive countering opinions.

Except that it is NOT an opinion that the earth is a globe.

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.

Well David,,,,
the earth is ALREADY the property of satan....
so it's too late.

The "one little lie" already happened.

Let's make sure we're not accepting even more lies.

"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

Too funny Archie....
Now I'M ignorant because I DO NOT believe the earth is flat
because
I've never investigaged this topic.

Be happy...but don't call others ignorant because they believe the truth.

I've already stated on this thread HOW BIG the conspiracy would have to be...
even BIGGER than it would have taken to fake the resurrection of Jesus.

There would have to be so many PERSONS and so many ORGANIZATIONS involved in this conspiracty that it would be impossible to maintain.

The earth is a globe.
And the OT has nothing to do with what one believes or not.

 

[GodsGrace]

Careful - one can believe every word which is not the same as subscribing to twisted theories by abusing scripture. Scripture says to curse God and die (Job 2:9). That would be a gross abuse of something far far out of context.


And there is no reason for it. There are three types. You have people who are trolling and laugh at how gullible people are. There exists those that treat it as a fun thought experiment. Finally, you have people who believe it seeing it as special knowledge. They will quote scripture pertaining to wisdom and such.

Yet, if there was going to be a massive conspiracy, what is the point?

Right.
This is what I've been saying all along.
What would be THE POINT of a conspiracy?
What difference does it make if the earth if a globe or is flat or is round or is square?

I'm not a fundamentalist C....
The earth COULD have been created in 6 days,,,but I don't believe it's necessary for me to believe this in order to believe the OT is true.

The earth could be a globe or it could be flat...
Makes no difference to me, except that the proof would seem to show that it's a globe.

The earth COULD be 6 thousand years old...
but it doesn't seem like it...
but it makes no difference to my relationship with God.
