  • 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.

What I meant was if any air line flew over Antarctica I'd rather not be on it given the dangers.
I doubt there are any more dangers than with any other flight.

The only danger might be from your beliefs imploding.

Well it shouldn't - As Scriptures do tell the truth.
They do but not what you teach. No other mainstream church believes in your translation. Is everyone else wrong other than a handful of people like you?

I didn't say that did I ?
Then why did you post an image of a flat square?
The Bible says that the earth has 4 corners, so the square bit must be right because you believe the Bible.

But she posted a pizza with a crust made of icing before. ;)

You certainly did. I remember many interchanges between you and Strong in Him, with you saying the earth is a flat disc, and saying that the deepest hole was so-many feet deep (I don't remember the measurement). Strength in Him would then reply that there is no such shape as a disc with such a depth, that discs are thin circular things like coins. I also remember that I replied once to say that a circular shape with such a depth is not a disc but a cylinder. Perhaps my mentioning these things might remind you.

I suppose they must be. BTW they are not my translations they are the truth.

Never mentioned it being a square though.

Why is it ?
I told you.
The shape of the earth has nothing to do with salvation. Nor does it have anything to do with the Christian faith.

Also, when John talks about "being deceived" he means "being deceived about Jesus and who is is", not "being deceived about a matter that is not at all important to the faith."

You agreed that is has 4 corners - though I suppose that could be a rectangle, or diamond.

Sorry, I have misunderstood you again. I posted: "So now after many posts where you have stated your belief in the earth being a flat disc, are you now saying you believe it to be a flat square?" You replied: "I didn't say that, did I?" I thought by "I didn't say that" you meant you never said that the earth is a disc, particularly as my post had been in reply to yours where you posted an image of a square earth.

Some time in a previous thread.

The Bible speaks of the 4 corners of the earth; are you now saying that this is incorrect?

Sorry, I have misunderstood you again. I posted: "So now after many posts where you have stated your belief in the earth being a flat disc, are you now saying you believe it to be a flat square?" You replied: "I didn't say that, did I?" I thought by "I didn't say that" you meant you never said that the earth is a disc, particularly as my post had been in reply to yours where you posted an image of a square earth.


You were replying to my post 228, where I said;

No - I understood Scripture first, it was the reading of Genesis 1 and other verses that pulled me into the flat earth & to seek out the truth plus I did have a friend who drew out a picture of the flat earth & told me that earth was shaped like a Mexicon hat so I looked it up and wo behold I found this image.

You replied,

So now after many posts where you have stated your belief in the earth being a flat disc, are you now saying you believe it to be a flat square? Perhaps in a few month's time you will change your mind again and you will say it is an oval, or some other shape.

What I should have said was;
'Read my post again, this is not what I said.'

If no other church interprets them as you do then there is something wrong with your interpretation. You do not have special knowledge that no one else has. As I said before your interpretation is false teaching
because no mainstream Christian church has ever taught a flat earth in the centuries since the Bible was written.

So I am still left wondering why, in post 228, you posted an image showing the earth as a square. If you didn't mean that you think the earth is a square, why post a picture of a square earth? Even the title of the picture you posted was: "Square and Stationary Earth."

She even said that her friend said the earth was like a "Mexican hat", she looked it up, and behold - cue image of a square earth.

I posted this image as it was likened to a Mexican hat that my friend had drew out for me, it was the only image I could find that resembled a Mexcian hat.
