What did they teach you in school , flat or round earth?

Unmovable.
Says nothing about shape.
Genesis 1 & the firmament.
You have agreed befroe that Genesis 1 does not mention the earth's shape.
A circle.
If you mean that Isaiah verse I am not going into that gain but it does not say that the earth is a circle.
It's boundaries.
That doesn't refer to its shape, just its limits.
The sun stopping.
Not the earth's shape.
It's foundations.
Not its shape.
Measurements of the earth & so much more.
Cannot a sphere be measured?

Another look at the moon landing.

All too expensive & rubbish.
i) I thought you had a mobile phone?
b) your opinion doesn't alter the fact that these things exist, are used by, and benefit, many and were produced by NASA. I bet you wouldn't say a smoke alarm was rubbish if you needed one.
Again, for none believers, loads.
Such as? You've already agreed that the shape of the earth doesn't affect salvation.

Yes, when I have told people about Genesis 1 it makes them think about the rest of the Bible & what else could be true.
i) Genesis 1 doesn't teach the shape of the earth.
ii) the first couple of verses of Genesis 1 were read from the moon - heard by millions of people. I find that amazing; you just deny it.
iii) why don't you tell people about Jesus?
When Jesus returns they'll all find out when the firmament cracks open and huge peacies of it fall & all the stars fall to earth, most if still alive will realize how they've been been lied too & deceived.
i) Rubbish.
ii) There may not be any believers on earth when Jesus returns - he may have already taken us to be with him.
iii) So what? We can never be deceived about God, we can never be snatched from his hand nor separated from his love. You expect us to fall at the feet of our Saviour and cry because the earth MAY be a different shape to the one we've always believed it to be? Never going to happen. When we see God face to face we won't even care about the earth - never mind what shape it was.
You're more confused than I thought.
Jesus being Alpha & Omega probably didn't see the need too.
IF he didn't see the need to, it means it's not important and can't save anyone - just what we have been saying all along.

But I don't believe for one minute you knew what was in Jesus' mind 2000 years ago.

Putin and Trump meet in Alaska on Ukraine -- no results, meeting ends early, no questions taken at presser

At this point its a failure to get anything done. Trump.isnt happy, thats for sure. But what does that mean? I mean he got Putin to the table, but accomplished little to nothing.

Putin has all the cards right now. Sanctions is all we have left. Well, that and military hardware, but even that is limited unless we can ramp up production some how.

This guy is a complete idiot

The video states there is a false Gospel being promoted yet speaks against infallibility and reverence to Icons as if they have something to do with the Gospel. To elaborate further upon my post, the Gospel is a revelation from God which necessarily means that The Holy Spirit is present with the believer as they come to see and believe. Again, infallibility and Icons have nothing to do with the event of receiving Christ through the preaching of the Gospel.

Are you a member of the Eastern Orthodox Church? (or the Oriental Orthodox for that matter) If so, please explain what you mean, because I still don’t get you.

If not, you can ask us anything about our faith on this forum: St. Basil the Great's Hall

or you can debate any aspect of Eastern Orthodoxy in this forum: St. Justin Martyr's Corner: Debate an Orthodox Chr

I can post a thread for you if you wish to address this issue specifically, if that would help.

As an Eastern Orthodox, I am humbled by the piety of my brethren* on ChristianForums who have made this subforum the only congregational forum on this entire site (to my knolwedge) that provides a space, St. Justin Marty’rs Corner, where non-Orthodox can debate our doctrines; we also offer another forum, St. Basil’s Hall, where anyone can ask us any question they want about our faith.

*I could also say “I’m proud of them”, but in Orthodox Christianity we try to avoid pride; I object to the “LGBTQ Pride” movement not only because it promotes sexual immorality but also pride, a dangerous passion.

Trump Threatens Federal Takeover of Washington After Member of DOGE Is Assaulted

Well, that's almost as bad as the Trump supporters who tried to beat a police officer to death with a pole. (Fortunately, Trump pardoned them) (WFTH-I)

But attacking someone with a sandwich! I mean those sandwiches can really hurt if they're a little stale. What a terrorist! There might even have been some hot peppers in the sandwich!
Almost as bad. Trumps probably not going to pardon this guy. I didn't think he should pardon those that assaulted officers. You do those things and you deserve what you get. Just like this guys deserves what he gets.

Trump Threatens Federal Takeover of Washington After Member of DOGE Is Assaulted

Probably a wise move; this isn't working out all that well for you. Did you really never realize that there might also be some democrats who were involved with Epstein? The difference between us is that I want everyone involved in abusing those kids to face justice.
Okay thats an attack on my character and you put words in my mouth that I didnt say. In fact you responded to my statement rhat I thought it should be released and let the chips fall where they may. So, perhaps you should not make false accusations like this.

So come on, which of His words teaches the earth's shape and whether it rotates?

Do the promises in God’s word come true?

It's been my observation in threads when different perspectives are maintained,, often they degress into personal attacks. So exiting.
I just get tired of people saying things that just are not true and like to put them on the spot.
Nothing personal about it. Like this here you have stated. It is just your own opinion.

Another look at the moon landing.

But do you realise that in the process of researching to send people to the moon, NASA have made/produced;
Mobile phones,
Memory foam,
Freeze dried food,
Battery powered tools,
Improved smoke detectors
and a number of other items that are in everyday use.
All of these came from research by NASA. So if you use, and benefit from, one or more of these things, it's thanks to NASA and all the research they did before sending people into space for several weeks.

All too expensive & rubbish.

Maybe, I don't know how they get their funding.

By shafting the public out of their hard earned money via taxes.

And how will that affect/improve their everyday lives and have an impact on their spiritual lives?

Again, for none believers, loads.

Do you really think that someone who doesn't believe in God, doesn't believe they are a sinner and need Jesus and is living their life exactly as they want to may one day be told "the earth is flat" and will suddenly say, "Oh, I'm a sinner. I'm going to give up my sinful lifestyle; drugs, alcohol, crime or simply living as though I can save myself by my own good deeds, believe that Jesus was God and that he can save me, and start going to church"?

Yes, when I have told people about Genesis 1 it makes them think about the rest of the Bible & what else could be true.

Why is that bad news for globers?

When Jesus returns they'll all find out when the firmament cracks open and huge peacies of it fall & all the stars fall to earth, most if still alive will realize how they've been been lied too & deceived.

Yes.

IF Flat Earth could save people why didn't Jesus teach it?

Jesus being Alpha & Omega probably didn't see the need too.

Questions and Answers

Please do not post your charts on my threads, as they are plainly in error.
And what is in error about this chart ? What does your 1989 REB bible say for Ezekiel 39:12 ? Does it say the people of "Beulah" in that verse, or the house of Israel, that will bury the dead of Gog's army for 7 months ?

Questions and Answers

The attack by G/M will be before that, when the citizens of Beulah are settled and prosperous and it will be the total defeat of G/M which will motivate the OWG leader to come to Jerusalem and negotiate that treaty.
keras, you have formulated that a replacement nation (to the current nation of Israel) made up of Christians, which you refer to as Beulah, will be established before the Gog/Magog event. That creating and building a replacement nation will take a lot of time. It does not sound reasonable.

Given the activity between Israel and Iran, it does not appear that Gog/Magog is that far away.

Questions and Answers

It is impossible for the G/M attack to happen at the exact same time as the leader of the One World Govt makes a 7 year peace treaty with 'many' in the Holy Land. Daniel 9:27
The Gog/Magog attack on Israel takes place before the 7 years of Ezekiel 39:9 take place.

The covenant in Daniel 9:27 is not a peace treaty, but the Mt. Sinai covenant. The "many" refers to the increased population of Israel as compared to in Daniel's day.

The prince that shall come (following Gog/Magog) will be perceived by the Jews as their long awaited King of Israel messiah. Once anointed the King of Israel, he will confirm the Mt. Sinai covenant for the 7 year cycle that Moses stipulated in Deuteronomy 31:9-13.

Australia just wasted ANOTHER $800 million paying USA for subs we'll probably NEVER see!

I have made Peking duck at home. It was delicious. I spent about $85.00
Buying the same at a Chinese restaurant will set me back about $45.
Basically what happened when Australia made the Collins submarines.

Questions and Answers

The Gog/Magog attack on Israel is to take place in the latter days, latter years. Ezekiel 38:8, Ezekiel 38:16. i.e the end times, in which, we are now living.

In Ezekiel 39:9 is the seven years that correspond to the 70th week of Daniel 9:27.

Ezekiel 39:17-20 is the Armageddon feast at the end of those seven years. Corresponding to the feast in Revelation 19:17-18.

Armageddon and the Return of Jesus are simultaneous events, proved by Rev 16:16-18 being parallel to Rev 19:19

It is impossible for the G/M attack to happen at the exact same time as the leader of the One World Govt makes a 7 year peace treaty with 'many' in the Holy Land. Daniel 9:27
The attack by G/M will be before that, when the citizens of Beulah are settled and prosperous and it will be the total defeat of G/M which will motivate the OWG leader to come to Jerusalem and negotiate that treaty.
Therefore: the G.M attack must come some time before the final seven years commences. I consider at least a year before.

Did the Catholic Church changed the Sabbath to Sunday?

The word used for new moon means month.

Original Word: חֹדֶשׁ
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: chodesh
Pronunciation: kho'-desh
Phonetic Spelling: (kho'-desh)
KJV: month(-ly), new moon
NASB: month, months, new moon, new moons, month throughout the months, month and

1. the new moon
2. (by implication) a month

Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
monthly, new moon

There is a reason why there will be a gathering in the New Heaven and New Earth every new month- do you know why?

I have no complaints if God wants to gather the saints to worship before Him on every new month and on every Sabbath, but apparently many do. It’s why I believe His judgement is one of love because not everyone will be happy in heaven where the is no sin, which means breaking God’s law. 1 John 3:4. The Sabbath is one of God’s commandments, He never made a distinction between breaking the Sabbath or worshipping other god’s, its all sin and breaking the law of God and His Testimony.
Ah yes, there is nothing quite like selective interpretation. You have chosen the narrative which asserts that God expects folks to engage in nineteenth-century American Protestant religious activities on Saturdays only, and have relegated worshiping God on the new moon (which is approximately on a twenty-eight day cycle, rather than on 30 days, except for the 31 days and 28 and 29 day monthly cycles of a solar year) to some future time. Apart from reading this into this verse, do you have any other means of explaining your position?

Putin and Trump meet in Alaska on Ukraine -- no results, meeting ends early, no questions taken at presser

"The second meeting is going to be very, but I'm not going to be happy with that. So, we'll see what happens. I'm going to be, I won't be happy if I walk away without some form of a ceasefire. Now, I say this, and I've said it from the beginning, this is really setting the table today," Trump said in Friday's interview.
Masterful! This guy's playing 11th dimensional chess, and it's our privilege to watch it unfold.
