The bible does not claim the world is not a round sphere. We have video of the Earth from space and it's round like every other planet.

These pictures are either:

1) CGI (Computer Generated Graphics)

2) Fakery (round shaped hole in aircraft from high altitude stratosphere)

3) Paintings

4) Composite recreations

You think this garbage is real?

There is not one real picture of the sphere Earth from space because the Earth isn't a sphere. It's a flat, stationary plane with a dome and supported by pillars, just as the Bible indicates.

Believing that the Earth is flat makes me wonder about your statements about the impossibility of a flat Earth ...
Not to mention the more general issue as to sanity.

This kind of deliberate self-beheading for the sake of literalism alone has also given us saddles on triceratopses.

You are correct, but I was addressing specifically the fact that @Hieronymus had also said he believed that a flat Earth was impossible — a contradiction regarding personal statements, in other words.

Yes, of course. All the following videos are obviously CGI, fake, painted or recreated:






It is very easy to just denounce the plain images in front of you as fake simply because they evidently demonstrate something in which you do not want to believe.

Meanwhile, can you show me any pictures from space of a flat Earth, in order to prove it?

And can you explain why not one single astronaut has yet said the Earth is actually flat? Hundreds, or even thousands, have gone into space, and yet they are all dishonest and keep on making us believe that the Earth is round when it is flat?

And can you explain how day and night occurs? Can you explain why there are different time zones? Can you explain how you can observe sunrise and sunset in the sea? Can you explain how eclipses occur? Can you explain the formation of the aurora borealis? Can you explain how it is possible to circumnavigate? Can you explain why a ship's bottom sailing out into the sea disappears before the top?

Why do you not admit what is obvious and accept that the Earth is round?

If you can't see that those images are fake, then you haven't seen actual footage from the stratosphere. Especially the latter time-lapse videos with the ridiculous aurora borealis, etc. lol

By the way, even if the first video you posted was "real", all they have to do is use a fish-eye wide-angle lens to give you the curve shape. It turns a flat horizon into a curved "sphere".

Meanwhile, can you show me any pictures from space of a flat Earth, in order to prove it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvkGQVuNPsY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQITXbcz2hg

Note, this is from the stratosphere, which appears to be the highest anyone can go. Look how close the sun is. It creates a hot spot. It is not 93,000,000 miles away. If the sun were that far away, it couldn't produce a hot spot, nor would rays from the sun through clouds produce rays at different angles. They'd all be from the same angle.

And can you explain why not one single astronaut has yet said the Earth is actually flat? Hundreds, or even thousands, have gone into space, and yet they are all dishonest and keep on making us believe that the Earth is round when it is flat?

None have gone beyond the stratosphere because they can't. The Bible talks about a thing called the firmament. It is a solid dome structure that surrounds Earth. Outer space isn't real. Planets aren't real. They are only stars, wandering stars to be specific. They've simply taken high altitude plane rides, if anything.

Rockets don't go into outer space. Notice the arc. Up then flatten out or go down.

hqdefault.jpg


Why do the astronauts not say anything? Simple. They've likely sworn not to. Threat made on their lives most likely. They are also freemasons.

ff477-nasa-mason-signs.jpg


Look at the press conference following "trips to the moon". They don't look excited. They seem intimidated and look depressed, as though they are being forced to lie.

https://youtu.be/-RcKLAo62Ro

Here is a video of the astronauts on the faking a spherical Earth.

https://youtu.be/xciCJfbTvE4

Here is a site showing how the moon landings were likely faked. Several pages with links.
http://apolloreality.atspace.co.uk

Here is a great video from a Biblical perspective.
https://youtu.be/vralJa38234

By the way, remember the Challenger explosion? Well, apparently, the crew is still alive. They were not on the shuttle that exploded. Why? Probably because there are very few, if any, space missions. Remember, far outer space does not exist.

challenger_flight_51-l_crew.jpg


And can you explain how day and night occurs? Can you explain why there are different time zones?

The sun is in a circuit, as the Bible points out, and it move around the Earth acting like a spot light.

Time zones are man-made, designed to line up with the twenty-four hours between when the sun moves from one point all the way back.

This video also explains seasons.

https://youtu.be/R52_PdZlSq8

Can you explain how you can observe sunrise and sunset in the sea?

It's all about perspective, of which our eyes are limited. Everything converges at a vanishing point on the horizon. If an object is too far away, it simply is beyond our site or vanishing point. This applies to even the sun.

https://youtu.be/GDaiw-G1VGE

Can you explain how eclipses occur?

https://youtu.be/csULdTh7Xqs

Can you explain the formation of the aurora borealis?

The aurora borealis likely has to do with magnetism and particles in close proximity to the magnetic center of the flat Earth, what most people think of as the North Pole, as well as the outer edge of the flat Earth, what would coincide with Antarctica.

Can you explain how it is possible to circumnavigate?

Draw a large circle. Can you walk around within it? Of course. Flat Earth is no different.

Flat_earth.png


Can you explain why a ship's bottom sailing out into the sea disappears before the top?

All about perspective, as mentioned previously. The ship doesn't go over the curve, you only simply are unable to see it. This has been tested using a telescope, things that were thought to have "gone over the curve" suddenly reappear.

This shows what is happening. Check out at around 12:50 beyond

https://youtu.be/zEqDbsPUgH8

Why do you not admit what is obvious and accept that the Earth is round?

God's Word and all the evidence indicates that it is not a sphere.

If you watch a ship sail directly away from shore in the ocean, you will notice that it goes down as it meet the horizon.

No.

The Bible describes a flat circular Earth supported with pillars with a dome over it.

With the true account of the Earth's shape, as indicated in the Bible, all spherical images are fakes, since the Earth is not this shape. Furthermore, the images obviously are of a computer production.

The Jesuits and masons, involved in astronomy, made unproven hypotheses which kept being taught for centuries. NASA, run by masons, continues the charade, despite evidence to the contrary.

Here NASA is mocking people with placing an outline of Pluto the dog on the Pluto fake cgi pictures.

IMG_52958818478088-630x315.jpeg


Here this shows that NASA has faked Jupiter images, as 2016 and 2014 images are the same. Cloud formations and all.

Here is NASA's fake images of "Earth" in which none match at all.
2015-how-bigisthe-earth_nasa.png


Here is NASA faking International Space Station using a green screen.

Here are "bubbles in space" This proves that the ISS shots are from a swimming pool, of which they supposedly "practice for the real thing" at the Johnson Space Center.


Also consider that there is never any footage of any astronauts crossing the threshold from space ship into space as they open the hatch and move from inside to outside. This is because it is all fake. If done in a pool, it would show water flowing in.

what are you thoughts on the biblical explanation of the flat earth?
Actually the Bible does not talk about a flat earth. That is merely an assumption. *The circle of the earth* implies that it is spherical. If the earth were flat, then the Bible could not talk about *the heart of the earth* or "the lower parts of the earth* or *the lowest hell*.

Actually, a circle is not a sphere. Secondly, the words used in Hebrew are for circle, not ball, of which there is another verse in Isaiah which relates to a ball. However, the Earth reference, as in "circle of the Earth" refers to a circle.

The "lower parts of the Earth" refers to sheol, or hell. It is located under the ground closer to the pillars.

I did not show you footage from the stratosphere. I have shown you footage from outer space. Being higher, you can see the Earth's curvature much more clearly.

By the way, even if the first video you posted was "real", all they have to do is use a fish-eye wide-angle lens to give you the curve shape. It turns a flat horizon into a curved "sphere".

Then, why does it not turn any of the remaining objects displayed into curves as well? You know, space orbiting equipment, continent design, straight sun rays… There are no such signs of any fish-eyed lens. Again, you are denying plain evidence in front of you.


Those images are filmed from a much lower altitude than the footage I showed you. Evidently, from a higher altitude, you can see the Earth's curvature much more clearly. I expected that you would be sufficiently intelligent to understand this.

Note, this is from the stratosphere, which appears to be the highest anyone can go.

You are wrong. Many space missions have gone much higher than that.

Look how close the sun is. It creates a hot spot. It is not 93,000,000 miles away. If the sun were that far away, it couldn't produce a hot spot,

Why not? The sun is very, very big. It is 150,000,000 km away, but it is also 1,400,000 km in diameter (the Earth has a diameter of only 12,760 km, and the Moon of 3600 km). The hot spot is there because the sun is massively huge.

nor would rays from the sun through clouds produce rays at different angles. They'd all be from the same angle.

How would they be from the same angle? You have a sphere from which rays come out; from each point of the surface, the rays come out perpendicularly, which means that they all need to have different angles.

None have gone beyond the stratosphere because they can't. The Bible talks about a thing called the firmament. It is a solid dome structure that surrounds Earth.

Where does it say that it is a solid structure?

Outer space isn't real. Planets aren't real. They are only stars, wandering stars to be specific. They've simply taken high altitude plane rides, if anything.

You are wrong. It is real, as many pictures and countless astronaut testimony have demonstrated, as well as the successfulness of many unmanned space mission. There would have to be a massive conspiracy theory going on, one involving way too many people. Think about it. If all pictures and all testimony point to the same thing, is it reasonable for a judge to proclaim it all as false?

Rockets don't go into outer space. Notice the arc. Up then flatten out or go down.

hqdefault.jpg

If they are launched at a sufficiently great speed to overcome the Earth's gravity, they do.

Why do the astronauts not say anything? Simple. They've likely sworn not to. Threat made on their lives most likely. They are also freemasons.

In that case, it should illuminate the whole Earth.

Time zones are man-made, designed to line up with the twenty-four hours between when the sun moves from one point all the way back.

Explain night. What on Earth happens at night if the Sun is still up in the sky, on the same side of the Earth?

https://youtu.be/GDaiw-G1VGE

That video does not seem to explain anything. Have you ever watched a sunset on the sea? Have you never noticed that the bottom part of the Sun goes below the horizon, and then the rest of the Sun, until it is all below the horizon and rises in the opposite way, in the opposite side of the Earth, half a day later? How can the Sn go below the horizon if the Earth is flat?


I am not going to watch that whole 30-minute video. Just tell me: in a solar eclipse, what is it that covers the Sun and, in a lunar eclipse, what is it that casts a round shadow onto the Moon?

The aurora borealis likely has to do with magnetism and particles in close proximity to the magnetic center of the flat Earth, what most people think of as the North Pole, as well as the outer edge of the flat Earth, what would coincide with Antarctica.

But how do you have magnetism in a flat Earth? And why can you also see the aurora australis?

Draw a large circle. Can you walk around within it? Of course. Flat Earth is no different.

Flat_earth.png

That only works if you keep turning round. What if you walk in a straight line? You still end up in the same place without falling off the edge. How?

By the way, can you show me the edge of the Earth?

All about perspective, as mentioned previously. The ship doesn't go over the curve, you only simply are unable to see it. This has been tested using a telescope, things that were thought to have "gone over the curve" suddenly reappear.

But how can it literally go below the horizon if the surface is not curved?

God's Word and all the evidence indicates that it is not a sphere.

Except that, actually, God's Word says nothing of the sort and all the evidence proves that it is a sphere.

I did not show you footage from the stratosphere. I have shown you footage from outer space. Being higher, you can see the Earth's curvature much more clearly.

Yeah, the footage shown was CGI in all videos except the first, and the first one was manipulation using a fish eye lens from the stratosphere.



Then, why does it not turn any of the remaining objects displayed into curves as well? You know, space orbiting equipment, continent design, straight sun rays… There are no such signs of any fish-eyed lens. Again, you are denying plain evidence in front of you.

Wrong. There are fish eye lens, and they usually keep images toward the top of the image in curved form.

Consider this:

screen520x924.jpeg


Now, consider jump produced by Bruce Baumgartner:

Here an image shows a curve, the result of a fish eye lens:

13.jpeg


Here an image shows no curve, considering this camera had no fish eye lens. Note the flat horizon.

redBullStratpsFlat_zps31560b50.png


nasa-fakery.jpg

Equipment in various videos shows curving as well.

Those images are filmed from a much lower altitude than the footage I showed you. Evidently, from a higher altitude, you can see the Earth's curvature much more clearly. I expected that you would be sufficiently intelligent to understand this.

Really, it doesn't look like it? Baumgartner is said to be in the stratosphere. Look at the flat Baumgartner picture. Notice they are at relatively similar altitudes.

0124-0610-2617-3218_the_space_shuttle_atlantis_backdropped_against_clouds_over_earth_o.jpg


The space shuttle, featuring a "rounded edge", the result of a fish eye lens, appears to be at only minimal higher altitude to a high altitude balloon. Not enough to make much of a difference in curvature, yet it shows profound difference. By the way, it's obvious that the shuttle is superimposed on this fish eye lens picture, likely taken from a high altitude plane.

You are wrong. Many space missions have gone much higher than that. Yes, they do have them go up about this high.

I know they claim that they have gone farther than that, but the pictures we have don't look much higher. We know the ones taken from the moon missions were faked.

First attempts at faking it. On later "moon missions", they solved the problem with a more rounded window on the top.

Here is them faking a picture, in video.

Look at this obvious CGI of the Earth and the "backside of the moon". The video of it is even more ridiculous.

What about "sex" being written in the clouds. That cannot happen.
hqdefault.jpg


This matches Disney's "sex" in some of its pictures. If you know anything about Disney, Walt Disney worked with Werner Von Braun from NASA, the ex Nazi military man. It shouldn't be surprising you'd see "sex" written in both Disney images and NASA images, considering the connection.

Why not? The sun is very, very big. It is 150,000,000 km away, but it is also 1,400,000 km in diameter (the Earth has a diameter of only 12,760 km, and the Moon of 3600 km). The hot spot is there because the sun is massively huge.

You wouldn't have a hot spot on only a small place on Earth. This has been demonstrated in experiments with objects built to scale, relative to the Sun compared to the moon. Rays would remain parallel to one another. The Earth is too far away from the sun to produce a hotspot.


How would they be from the same angle? You have a sphere from which rays come out; from each point of the surface, the rays come out perpendicularly, which means that they all need to have different angles.

Watch this video:

Where does it say that it is a solid structure?

Firmament Definition. (solid)
http://biblehub.com/hebrew/7549.htm

You are wrong. It is real, as many pictures and countless astronaut testimony have demonstrated, as well as the successfulness of many unmanned space mission. There would have to be a massive conspiracy theory going on, one involving way too many people. Think about it. If all pictures and all testimony point to the same thing, is it reasonable for a judge to proclaim it all as false?

The evidence is there that it is fake, from cgi, to sex in clouds, to different size Americas, to faking on a green screen, to "bubbles in space", to faking from plane, to the masonic connection, to the Bible [MOST IMPORTANT]. End of story. It's fake.

Do you really think that if we truly went to the moon, a greater distance, that we would have not gone back since 1972?

It is a massive conspiracy.

If they are launched at a sufficiently great speed to overcome the Earth's gravity, they do.

Gravity is a theory. It is not real. The reason you fall to the Earth has to do with density. Your body is of greater density relative to the air so it sinks.

If gravity were real, you wouldn't have a force supposedly powerful enough to hold water to a curved surface, but not powerful enough to pull a butterfly to Earth.

By the way, flight can reach the stratosphere, but that is only high altitude atmosphere.


There are way too many astronauts and scientists to assume that they are all lying. Some of them are Christians.

NASA is compartmentalized. Only those in the know need to know. Most in NASA have a specific job and it doesn't require them to know about the conspiracy.


Nice job finding guys who look similar to the dead crew! You forgot one man, though.

Many of them are using the same names. Facial recognition software has confirmed that some are the same person.

You can't be that blind.


In that case, it should illuminate the whole Earth.

God is supernatural. He can light which sections he wants to light.

By the way, check out this video which illustrates how the sun curves, corresponding to the movement of the sun around the Earth. Actual footage shows it curving in the correct direction and arc.


Explain night. What on Earth happens at night if the Sun is still up in the sky, on the same side of the Earth?

The sun is not over the same side of the Earth while it is night. Day and night has to do with:

1) The movement of the sun around the Earth, of which its rays extend a defined distance.

2) Our ability to perceive far away objects at the horizon (perspective).

That video does not seem to explain anything. Have you ever watched a sunset on the sea? Have you never noticed that the bottom part of the Sun goes below the horizon, and then the rest of the Sun, until it is all below the horizon and rises in the opposite way, in the opposite side of the Earth, half a day later? How can the Sn go below the horizon if the Earth is flat?

It doesn't go below the curve, it simply moves past our focal point at the horizon and beyond a distance for our ability to see it. This corresponds with the distance light travels.


I am not going to watch that whole 30-minute video. Just tell me: in a solar eclipse, what is it that covers the Sun and, in a lunar eclipse, what is it that casts a round shadow onto the Moon?

It is believed by some that there are dark celestial bodies, as identified in the video.

But how do you have magnetism in a flat Earth? And why can you also see the aurora australis?

Magnetic center and opposite charge toward the edge.

magnetic2_f12.gif




That only works if you keep turning round. What if you walk in a straight line? You still end up in the same place without falling off the edge. How?

Moving west and east runs in a cylindrical direction with respect to the distance from the magnetic "North Pole" over the circular flat Earth.

Coordinates and compasses correct for the cylindrical shape relative to the distance from magnetic North. Thus, it reads as "west" or "east", even though it hasn't gone in a straight line, more noticeable over long distances.

If you were to walk in a real straight line, you would eventually hit Antarctica (granted you'd have to traverse oceans). Antarctica is the land and wall of ice that surrounds the cylindrical flat Earth, holding the oceans in. Therefore, you can't fall off the edge, especially not considering a dome surrounds the Earth.

Consider the Antarctic Treaty which makes voyages to Antarctica by civilians off-limits. This likely has to do because people would discover that the Earth is not round because they'd find the edge.

By the way, can you show me the edge of the Earth?

Some believe this is evidence of it.

But how can it literally go below the horizon if the surface is not curved

It has to do with perspective. Consider how railroad track rails converge the farther away you go. Consider how long halls are wider by you as opposed to down the hall. It has to do with perspective in which our eyes perceive things converging toward the horizon to a focal point. Videos I've posted illustrate this.



Except that, actually, God's Word says nothing of the sort and all the evidence proves that it is a sphere.

Exactly. A flat earth would not have anything as depicted.

Flat land surface, making slight changes due to altitude. There is a dome covering it (firmament) with waters above, and pillars and waters below below the Earth surface

The sun is not over the same side of the Earth while it is night. Day and night has to do with:

1) The movement of the sun around the Earth, of which its rays extend a defined distance.

2) Our ability to perceive far away objects at the horizon (perspective).



It doesn't go below the curve, it simply moves past our focal point at the horizon and beyond a distance for our ability to see it. This corresponds with the distance light travels.

How far above the Earth do you believe the sun is?

The earth is a sphere, like an orange. Just like Jupiter is. Just like Venus is. Just like all the moons in the solar system are. To say it's flat like a pancake is well, kinda silly. The Greeks figured out the earth is a round spheroid a long time ago.

BTW, there is no "dome" covering the earth.

And "flat" earthers cannot satisfactorily explain day and night, nor can they satisfactorily explain the fact the southern hemisphere and northern hemisphere have different sets of constellations which can never be seen from the other hemisphere, unless you're talking about those near the equator of the spherical earth.

So, do I reject hyper-literalism in favor of reality and a spherical earth? Yes.

Then you don't agree with the Bible, but rather choose man's ideas. That said, the ancient Greeks didn't have the technology nor the communication that we do today. They were simply guessing based on their limited information.

BTW, there is no "dome" covering the earth.
The Firmament is the dome. It is specifically described in the Bible.

I've explained day and night, which matches right up with what the Bible says. The sun circuits around the Earth.

nor can they satisfactorily explain the fact the southern hemisphere and northern hemisphere have different sets of constellations which can never be seen from the other hemisphere, unless you're talking about those near the equator of the spherical earth.

You can see a lot of the "Northern Hemisphere" constellations down to about 40 S Latitude. Not possible on a sphere.

By the way, notice how the stars move in a cylindrical motion around in-line magnetic North (North Star), which happens to match up with the dome surrounding the flat Earth. It never moves, generally speaking. This proves that we are on a fixed surface covered by a dome, of which the Bible says that the stars are in the firmament.

Wow, would you look at that.

So, do I reject hyper-literalism in favor of reality and a spherical earth? Yes.

So you're okay with going against God's Word in favor of the jesuits and masons (man), the latter of which has been shown to deceive people?
