No. All this because you are an obvious troll.
Well put. Realize they do not know it yet themselves. Like many other frequent posters, there are awkward reasons for liking the attention or even the approval of others, while opposing God or opposing truth. The internet protocols and rules do not readily allow exposing their motives in any forum I've heard of or seen. The webpages/forums are self-defensive, for profit, and self-protective. And Truth is not a known nor honored standard on this earth.

I think this is indeed the case. People who troll are usually seeking attention they can't get in the physical world, so they come online and accuse others of not knowing "the truth", which happens to be what they and their small band of so-called "truthers" believe, even when those other "truthers" oppose God. They do not listen to actual truth or reason. Instead they sneer and laugh at anybody willing to debate them. Such activity is against the Lord and is cult-like. A person who is truly for the Lord will listen to reason and think. They do not.

Yes, and I really thought when we had that very gracious post from Apple Sky where she said she had been brought to a change of heart after watching the testimony of a Christian astronaut, that she had really stopped all the nonsense about all the astronauts, including the Christians among them, being liars, ice walls around Antarctica, flat earth, and the rest.

I agree. Thank you for input on this. I’ve been trying to reason with her for what must be nearly a year. Others have too. When it looks like she’s making some sort of effort to understand, she quickly reverts back into the same behaviour patterns of ridiculing and sneering.

So tell what is a troll ?
As seen happening past and present (and future?) thousands of times every day on forums worldwide, it may be repeating posting sinful errors, without Godly Sorrow to Repentance.

It is like road rage on a busy highway, with up to 90 percent 'protected' posters doing it, and truth begone! So troubling, so overwhelming, no forum standard for truth; driving honest seekers and truth-tellers away daily.

Well if this is the case I'm no troll.

I will let you do your own research.
I googled "Internet troll", just to be sure what it was, and the second link that came up said "Internet troll on Ebay. Fantastic prices on Internet Troll"!

So now we know. :)

“Online, a troll is someone who enters a communication channel, such as a comment thread, solely to cause trouble.”


Yep, now we know!

All this just b/c I changed my mind over the shape of the earth :rolleyes:
That's just it; it's not about changing your mind.

You said that you watched the Charles Duke clip of his testimony - and that you honestly believed every word he said.
On that clip, at around 3 minutes 11, there is a picture of the earth, taken from space. If you honestly believe that clip, then you must accept that image. You can see what shape the earth is. Furthermore, Charles Duke was there - he could see what shape the earth is.
The earth is flat
If you believe that, you have changed your mind about accepting the evidence and eyewitness testimony of a fellow Christ.
Your prayer asking God for forgiveness for doubting the moon landings; are you saying that you repent of writing it, of saying "sorry"?
What about your statement that Flat Earth was nonsense, that it would take you time to really grasp that and that you would trust God to help you? 4 or 5 days later - "I've found a clip on YouTube. Globe Earth is rubbish; I'm back on track again".
Your vow to trust God didn't last long - the god of YouTube said something different, and you gave in and agreed with it.
the final experiment
You have no idea how idiotic, unscientific and insulting you are being.

Even if anything you said checked out scientifically - and I leave that to others, but they seem to be saying that it doesn't - why would anyone believe you when you contradict yourself and go back on your previous decisions, that you thanked God for?
