  • 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.

Lol'z everyone's a liar if they are not agreeing with you.
But you do the same thing. You don't believe that anybody has landed on the moon, and you have said several times that those that say they have, including Christians, are lying.

Anybody who's involved with the moon landing are fairy tale tellers.

Saying that they are fairy tale tellers is still saying that they are, in your view, not telling the truth. In other words, according to you, they are liars.

That is your position, not ours.
I posted a video from a surveyor using a theodolite. He is on the ground at an elevation of 78 feet with the instrument set at 90° to the perpendicular. Looking through the telescopic view, eye level is clearly above the horizon. Distant objects which are higher than the point he is viewing from are all below his eye level because of the curvature of the earth. If the earth was flat then the distant objects would be above eye level. Ergo, the earth is not flat.

It doesn't matter how high you go the horizon will always be at eye level. This has been proved.
-
That is not the correct way this should be understood.

The horizon will not always remain at eye level. The higher a person goes up the further they will see, so actually the line of sight. If one could see that far, would extend beyond the horizon, but a persons vision is limited on a plain.

The way it should be understood is that on a flat plain, the horizon at the edges will not fall or bend away.

Dean Odle talks about the FE and puts it all into perspective, it's all in the Bible.

-
I would quit listing to this dean Odel person. If he believes a born again child of God can become an un-born again child and cross back over from life back to death. he has some major theological problems.

I would not let this person just because he says he believes in a flat earth. teach me anything about The Bible if he believes what he believe about Eternal Life and being able to lose it.

You'll have to try harder than this to convince me that the earth is curved.

What do you mean that Dean can lose it ? I've never seen any evidence of this except when he was on some debate show & that was only once.

But this book is not what you think.

Pastor Dean Odle originally published Grace Abuse in 1998 after much study and prayer on the subject of "eternal security" which is also know as "once saved, always saved no matter how you live." This book examines the apparent contradictions created by the errors of Calvinism.

I have never read the book, but he plainly states in the video, at the start, he thinks unconditional security is false. So that belief is believing that a born again child of God can lose their eternal life because of some sins they do.

I do not need to read the book, what he stated at the start of the video is all i need to know about this person.

But here is the books description given o Amazon
Pastor Dean Odle originally published Grace Abuse in 1998 after much study and prayer on the subject of "eternal security" which is also know as "once saved, always saved no matter how you live." This book examines the apparent contradictions created by the errors of Calvinism. You will see from Scripture that a born again believer CAN fall away from God and be lost forever.


I believe he is basically using one truth from The Bible about God's creation and is drawing people into his false theological beliefs. About eternal security, receiving God's free gift of Eternal Life, etc..

Plus eternal security is not a Calvinism position, as i am completely opposed to the theology of Calvinism.
Eternal life security is a Free Grace position, Grace Evangelical Society Their only fault is they as a whole are not flat earth believers, but their Soteriology teachings are spot on and as most of their theology is.

Okay fair enough, but I'm sorry, I wont stop listening to him as his flat earth truths are second to none to any other pastor I know.
