  • 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 truth.
No, you are showing signs of not being open to the truth. A person wanting to establish the truth would want to know the truth even if it meant they were wrong.

What you really are doing is claiming flat earth is the truth, even when all the evidence says otherwise.

To get the truth out there.
Let’s say the police said, “You were one of the bank robbers at the the First Bank of Cucumbers at 5:00pm on Tuesday.” If you answer, “No I wasn’t,” it isn’t going to help. You have to say something like, “I was at the dentist getting my wisdom tooth pulled.” Then the police could check your story. You need to defend against statements that are contrary to the truth you are trying to get out in a rational manner. You haven’t done that with the statements made against flat earth.

Why?
When your "truth" makes no difference to salvation, God's love, or the Gospel?

I beg to differ, when I explained Genesis 1 to my son & his wife, they had a complete turn around towards God & the bible. Now they are well into Jesus.

Before my son would just shrug the Bible off. What a difference in him now.

This also happened to my late husband,

Well God can, and does, speak through his word.
Learning that God created all things - i.e this world isn't random - and that humans were made in his image is a wonderful thing. Of course he can use his word to turn people to him.

What I mean is that it's not the shape of the earth that saves anybody; it's Jesus.
If your son and his wife accepted Jesus and believed that the earth is a globe, they'd be saved.
If they accepted Jesus and believed the earth is flat, they'd be saved.
If they were the greatest Flat Earth believers in the world and did loads to promote it, but they rejected Jesus, they wouldn't be saved.
If they were absolutely committed to Jesus, loved him, served him, had weekly meetings where they showed Charles Duke's testimony to unbelievers and taught that Flat Earth was complete nonsense - they'd be saved, and not condemned.

Never has God said, "I'm not going to save them or fill them with my Spirit because they believe the earth is a globe".

It's not as easy as all that.
If you make statements claiming the earth is flat, you are obliged to back up those claims with factual evidence. You haven't done that at all. But everyone here who has disagreed with your claims has done so with factual evidence.

Making statements dismissing that evidence is just more claims on top of the ones you already made. It goes nowhere. We supply evidence and you need to do it too. Otherwise what you call "truth" has no validity whatsoever.

Okay - I will try, but it's not so easy for F/E's as it is for globalists, as globalists just have all info at their finger tips, us F/E's have to seek to find,

But that just contradicts your claims. The fact that you have no evidence at your fingertips means that you believe the earth to be flat without evidence.

That's not how people know the earth to be a globe. People know the earth is a globe based on evidence, not just a belief. It's not about belief, but evidence.

And that is because the earth is a globe.
But you obviously can't understand that proof of a globe earth is easy to find because it is the truth.

Of course - you have to seek to find other flat earth believers and YouTube videos which say what you want them to say.

And it is what has been indoctrinated into us since we were kids.
The reason why everyone can find evidence for a globe is the Elite have pushed & pushed this nonsense onto everyone for a very long time.

The reason why F/E's find evidence so hard to come by, is because the Elite don't want the truth getting out, this is also the reason for ridiculing F/E's.

This is completely irrational. The evidence has to make sense. If it’s just indoctrination, it won’t make sense. But the evidence for a globe earth does, overwhelmingly.

This is why I have kept asking you for a realistic alternative as to where satellite tv signals come from. Without a realistic alternative to satellites in geostationary orbit, then satellites are the source.

And that is evidence for a globe earth right there.

And by claiming indoctrination, you’re just making another claim without evidence.

What evidence do you have for saying that teachers, parents, scientists, textbooks, astronomers etc have been indoctrinating us?

I'm sorry; do you even know how ridiculous you sound?
Like I said, with all the wars, famines etc going on why do you think Putin, Trump etc give a toss what shape the earth is? It could be a dodecahedron for all they care - as long as they get to own more of it.

"The elite" don't want people to know that the earth is flat?
Why? Who cares?
All most leaders wants is money, land or power - like they care what we believe about the shape of the earth.
