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.

Fact of the matter is that “flat earth “ rubbish is supported by a variety of simple minded assertions that of themselves generally mean nothing at all. “Water finds its own level” is a prime example.

Hearsay by who? You mean you heard someone say it and you were just repeating it?
It would help if you were more careful, not only with your wording but your ideas. It's not the first time you've contradicted yourself.

The important thing, however is that, as you said, the shape of the earth is not important. It's almost the only thing - apart from the Gospel - that we agree on. The devil can't deceive us, and he wouldn't waste his time trying - he wants to get people away from God and the cross.
The shape of the earth is completely unimportant, doesn't save, help, edify, instruct anyone or help Christians to be salt and light in the world.
I get sucked into these discussions - maybe more fool me - because of the Bible verses which are partially quoted, misquoted, quoted out of context or misapplied; so that folk are trying to make the Bible say something which it doesn't. Also, the implication that "you don't believe/read the Bible properly if you don't agree with us.

Luckily for you, there's no sin, shame or embarrassment in heaven so people are unlikely to come up to you and say "told you so." Yes, you'll be in heaven with globe earth believers; get over it.

Exactly & what better way to do it by inventing a spinning ball world hurtling through space among thousands of Galaxies, how insignificant has our world seems to have become & God our creator.

Where is Earth located in the Milky Way? | BBC Sky at Night ...


They claim that the Earth can be found on one of the Milky Way galaxy's outlying spiral arms – the Orion-Cygnus arm, to be precise. And Earth is sitting at a point roughly halfway from the galactic center to its outer rim. To reach either, you'd have to travel about 25,000 light years. 13 Jan 2024.

The greatest trick the devil has ever pulled off is getting people not to believe in him as he knows to believe in him one has to believe in God & his word.

What, accept the diabolical lie your lot embraces? That would be like a fireman saying that fire isn’t’ hot.

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

If you’re starting to wonder why there are so many Flat Earthers, so did we. It’s okay to laugh and be skeptical, but we challenge you to look at their side of the argument. We don’t claim to have all the answers, but this video contains some of the best Flat Earth proofs we could find and proves we don’t live on a ball.​

Wow! I'm impressed. You are able to quote verses from the Bible entirely context free!

Masters of the understatement. They don't have any of the answers.
Having watched a bit of the video, it is a mish mash of some of the most mind bogglingly stupid claims. A complete waste of time unless you have a penchant for stupidity.

I said the devil can't deceive us and you agree with that; thank you.
Or could it be that you just didn't read my post?

Yes, that could be true.
Thanks to cartoons, a lot of people see the devil as being a ridiculous cartoon figure in a red outfit and carrying a pitchfork.
But almost everyone believes in evil and suffering - they blame God for it.

That has nothing at all to do with the shape of the earth. The shape of the earth - and you don't even know what that is - has nothing at all to do with salvation or believing in God.
It's not important.

Well you shouldn't be surprised that there are so many flat earthers. You have claimed that the government, and even the flat earth society pay people to believe in it.

I said that some flat earthers are Government paid shills & the flat earth society is one of the worst, I wouldn't trust them @ all.
However there are some who are in it just for the money like Patrica Steere & Mark Sargent.

Exactly.
You believe there are more flat earthers than there might be otherwise because some of them are paid to say that they believe it. The flat earth society is where the very few flat earthers that there are can support, learn from and encourage each other - and you don't even trust them.

Nope, not one bit, it is a Government controlled organization.

According to some flat Earthers, the Flat Earth Society is a government-controlled organization whose true purpose is to make ridiculous claims about flat Earth and therefore discredit the flat Earth movement.

That's doubtless untrue - as everything else you write is untrue, but it's your problem.

God is not the creator of the Earth only, but of all the "thousands" of galaxies and of the whole Universe the galaxies are in. Therefore, a more vast Universe does not make him smaller, but greater (logic).
King James Bible
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
And the "so many flat earthers" are not a part of the whole world, somehow. From another planet, maybe?

If you’re starting to wonder why there are so many Flat Earthers, so did we.
Are they the same geniuses who cannot find Germany, Russia, China or the UK on a blind map? And who think that Africa is a country?
There are simply many uneducated Americans.

It’s okay to laugh and be skeptical, but we challenge you to look at their side of the argument.
We did, its a bunch of nonsense caused by poor education, poor skills to recognize good sources and by being prone to fake news.

We don’t claim to have all the answers...
You have none. You cannot explain even the most basic things like sunsets or eclipses. Have you tested the GPS already?
