  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

So you're not prepared to believe other flat-earthers? That says a lot.

Not really, I've seen the list of the flat earthers who are going & I must say I wasn't all that impressed.

And if Dean had said, "I made a mistake, I believe the earth is a globe", would you have gone back on your statement that "nothing will make me believe a flat earth; never have, never will."?

What ever Dean had said I would have believed.

It's not word, it's grammar.
You're is short for you are.
Your denotes ownership; your opinion, your computer, your age etc.

Thank you for your grammar lesson.

So, this doesn't stop me believing him.
He continues to push his interpretation despite it being very obviously wrong. He’s not stupid, so he must know that he’s deceiving people about the verse. That makes him untrustworthy.

Oh dear; the phrase; blind faith comes to mind.

Blind faith is unquestioning belief in something, even when it's unreasonable or wrong.
I wouldn't call believing Dean unreasonable or wrong.

Look at the first part “Blind faith is unquestioning belief in something”

And he is wrong about Job 38:14

When Phil told you that Dean is wrong about Job 38:14, you said;
"so, this doesn't stop me believing him."

And you have just said that you would give up your life-long belief in a flat earth if Dean told you to.

No it doesn't, just because he got one verse wrong doesn't make him untrustworthy.

He’s a Bible teacher and as such he has to know that he is taking this verse completely out of context. Yet he continues to push his wrong interpretation. That’s deliberate deception.

No not if Dean told me to
, I said what ever Dean had said during the experiment I would have believed him either way.

That’s not my opinion, it’s a matter of fact. And don’t forget James 3:1 NKJV

“My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.”

So if Dean had said, during the experiment, "I have just seen a 24-hour sun, which couldn't happen on a flat earth. They're right; the earth is a globe", you would have believed him.
