• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

The Earth stands still while our stars do this:

And our "planets," once known as our wandering stars do this:

This is what we have observed throughout at least the time that men have looked to the sky.

And this simple, verifiable reality can never be explained by heliocentrism.
It can easily be explained. If the earth turns on its axis, then the stars, moon, sun, and planets will appear to move, just as when you are on board a moving train, the countryside seems to be rushing past you.

The ancients tried to tell us in many of their writings about the local sun, triangulation & evidence of the same. Take a fresh look at this. It is showing us local sun triangulation with corpuscular rays !!

No triangulation. The Egyptian relief that you posted is just that, a relief. They worship the sun god,ra, which is the depiction that you posted. They didn’t have full 3D back then.

Secondly, the flashlight does not lit out a flat beam but one that is a cone. The sun’s light envelops one full side of earth which makes it daylight. The distance to the sun can be triangulated but it requires a very large baseline and very sophisticated calculations so not really practical.

Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Yes, I am sure we all agree with that. It is lovely to see you posting about something really important., in other words, the importance for the Christian of sanctification. I do wonder though what Romans 12 has to do with a flat earth.

Which it doesn't.
In your opinion. But I was responding to what you said: "And this simple, verifiable reality (the way the stars and planets seem to move) can never be explained by heliocentrism." That is why I said that it could be thus explained.

I don't call 500 years a very loooooooooooong time.
Try over 2300 years and much longer than the flushing toilet has been around. Most innovation in science has happened in the last 500 years as new technologies emerge.

o_O Please do explain ..................
“The notion that Earth revolves around the Sun had been proposed as early as the 3rd century BC by Aristarchus of Samos,[1]who had been influenced by a concept presented by Philolaus of Croton (c. 470 – 385 BC). In the 5th century BC the Greekphilosophers Philolaus and Hicetas had the thought on different occasions that Earth was spherical and revolving around a "mystical" central fire, and that this fire regulated the universe.[2]

The sun ....
They knew about the sun but they considered it to be the god ra so they worshipped it. The picture of the relief that you posted shows the Egyptians worshipping the god ra.

What a load of rubbish that has been taken out of context.
No, it's not a load of rubbish.

You didn't say all those things in the same day, or the same post. But over he last few months you have said:
- that Charles Duke, and other astronauts who walked on the moon were lying.
- that Charles really needed to repent.
- that photos, and evidence of moon landings, were faked.
- that NASA have been lying/trying to make us believe something/covering something up.
Occasionally you have said something like "well that's what they want you to believe". When I asked who "they" were, you said that they were the leaders of the world.

You have stated that I don't believe Scripture. And another time when I said that I am a globe earth believer and that I fully believe Genesis 1, you said, "you can't do."
You have also talked about "so called scientific facts" and once said that the scientists were all wrong.

Maybe you've never seen all that written down in black and white before and are feeling embarrassed that you said those things - but you did.
