  • 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.

Repeat: science (at least, the physical sciences) is the study of God's creation. The world around us can be studied. It is knowable.

Everyday observations can only be explained by the earth being a globe and would be contradicted by a flat earth. These observations are repeatable. However, understanding and interpreting these observations needs basic geometry and maths. If someone does not understand these, then they will lack the skills needed to interpret observations and will be reliant on what others claim and so are open to being deceived.

It does not take a genius to see that God has placed the sun, moon and stars in the sky above the earth. That these created lights move in the sky over the earth, where they have been placed.

The real question is when sciences deceptions are show to be the deceptions they are. Will Christian's finally believe in God;s true creation or just like Israel's rejecting the Messiah when He came to earth. Stay with what the authorities claim as truth (Matthew 12)

When I said that I accept a globe earth and believe Genesis 1, and you replied, "you can't do."
When I made some comments once and your reply was, something to the effect of, "you don't believe Scripture", "your motives are .....".

This is not calling you a liar.

If I say that Charles Duke walked on the moon and then he became a Christian, and you claim that Charles is a liar; by implication, I am lying too.

This is not calling you a liar.

I'm lying when I repeat that he walked on the moon or - at best - I'm just a gullible person who repeats everything that she hears.
And if that was the case, my reply to you would be "pot ..... kettle".

Again this is not calling you a liar.

I agree & neither does it take a genius to know that both the sun & moon gives off their own light.

Revealing Biblical Earth & The Reality Of God.​

I would suggest to really be selective in your choice of videos. Because the person who is doing these videos is a nut case and definitely will not put a positive case out to the public for flat earth beliefs.

Scripture states that the sun rises and sets.
Flat earthers deny the Scripture and claim that the sun only appears to rise and set.
Flat earthers do not accept Scripture.

Yes, but JW's still refuse blood transfusions.
Sorry but I think you must have misunderstood me. I know that Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions. All I was saying was that they do so, not because of a bible command, but because they misinterpret what the bible says about eating blood.

There is.

King James Bible
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 1 Timothy 6:20.
But the word translated "science" in the KJV is the Greek word "gnosis," which means "knowledge." Indeed, in 28 of the 29 times it occurs, it is translated "knowledge" in the KJV. Gnosis does not refer to what we call science - Physics, biology, chemistry and so on.

Besides, the verse you quote does not say that all knowledge is wrong, just that some knowledge is false knowledge. Often the Greek word gnosis is used in a good way. For example, in Simeon' song:

“76 “And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, 77 To give knowledge of salvation to His people By the remission of their sins,” (Lu 1:76-77 NKJV)

Yes it is.
My statement was "I believe the earth is a globe and I believe Genesis 1."
Your reply; "you can't do." IOW, you don't accept my statement.
But I do. I didn't write the wrong thing or make a mistake. I'm telling you, I believe Genesis 1 and that the earth is a globe. It's perfectly possible to believe both..
This is not calling you a liar.
Not in so many words.
But I believe the testimony of someone who walked on the moon. I believe the photos which you say are fake. I believe the books, articles and so on that you have dismissed as hearsay. I believe that all the things which you say are lies, are true.

It's interesting that you're pulling me up on the use of the word "liar" when you do the same thing.
You have said that Charles Duke, and the other astronauts who walked on the moon are liars. You haven't proved they lied, all you've shown is that you don't believe their eyewitness accounts.

The real question is, why are you writing such ridiculous, and slanderous, words? Why are you implying that Christians don't believe in God's creation?
Genesis 1 says that God created the heavens and the earth
Psalm 19:1 says that the heavens proclaim the glory of God.
Psalm 24:1 says that the earth is the Lord's and everything in it.
John 1:1-3 says that all things were created through the Word, Jesus. There is nothing that was not created by/through him.
Colossians 1:15-16 says that all things were created through him.
Hebrews 1:1-2 says that God made the universe, and all things, through Jesus.

You seem to be saying/implying that Christians who say that the earth is a globe, don't believe this.
Utter nonsense.
And don't even think of saying that we reject Jesus because we don't believe your flat earth fantasies.

I am almost certain that I have read a post from you where you agreed that Genesis 1 does not mention the shape of the earth. Have you changed your mind? Which verse(s) Genesis 1 do you think teach the shape of the earth? I cannot find one. If no mention is made in Genesis 1 of the earth's shape, then somebody could believe that the earth was shaped like a pyramid and still believe Genesis 1.

Thank you for clearing this up for me, I thought strong meant that you can believe in a flat & a globe earth

Simple.
Genesis 1 tells us WHO created the world/universe.
It does not say what shape he made them. That is not the purpose of the Bible; it is not a science textbook.

Why would I? :scratch:
I said, all along, I believe in a globe earth and in Genesis 1. How do you get that I am stating a belief in a flat earth, from that?

I sure am, because they do not period. You and others do not believe in the creation described in The Bible, your creation is the one science has created.

I’m still waiting for some sort of scientific or Biblical proof the earth is flat. If it is Biblical, then it must follow proper hermeneutics. If it is scientific, it has to be better than the tricks shown in previous videos.
