  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

What we have is a bunch of science blinded people letting science determine God's creation accounts and descriptions in The Bible. So talk about a horrible theological approach to Biblical study, these people have it down pat
You still haven't explained how you reconcile birds and animals being created before man in Genesis 1, and being created after man in Genesis 2, seeing as you view it all as literal. @Apple Sky has been silent on that too.

So where is the literal foundation of the world? What kind of measuring line did God used? Maybe He bought it at Home Depot? Where are the literal bases sunk? Where is the literal cornerstone of the world? How did the morning star sing? Maybe a song by Shawna Twain? Where are the literal doors for the sea? Another Home Depot trip? Where is the cloud’s garment? Where are the literal bolt and doors on the literal swaddling bands?

““Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding, Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the measuring line over it? “On what were its bases sunk? Or who laid its cornerstone, When the morning stars sang together And all the sons of God shouted for joy? ¶“Or who enclosed the sea with doors When it went out from the womb, bursting forth; When I made a cloud its garment, And thick darkness its swaddling bands, And I placed boundaries on it And set a bolt and doors,”
‭‭Job‬ ‭38‬:‭4‬-‭10‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

Dean Odle can add "failed politician" to his resume after failing in his bid to run for lieutenant governor in Alabama.

So, I knew this, your a bit behind the times.

At least he tried.

Well Dean & Rob Skiba know the the Bible inside out
I expect Rob does by now, because he's dead.
I doubt that Dean knows the Bible "inside out."
or has anyone else for that matter.
So you've never talked, or heard anyone else talk, about the foundations of a marriage or education. "Laying the foundations" means making sure the basics are there. E.g teaching a child to read and count before they start school, means that they will know the basics and may be ahead of other children before their education begins.
Jesus said that whoever listened to his words and out them into practice is like a man who builds his house on the rock. Jesus' words should be the foundation on which our lives are built. If our houses, meaning our lives, are built on anything apart from Jesus' words, when trouble comes, they will fall flat. This has happened to many - they may say that they can do it on their own, that they don't need God, that money can buy them anything etc etc. Yet if they become seriously ill/lose all their money, or their jobs, they may have nowhere to turn and even ask "why is God doing this to me?"

But none of the above examples are talking about literally digging down into the earth to lay literal bricks.
Besides, if you are talking about the earth having literal foundations, where are they? What did God dig into to lay foundations of brick and stone so that the earth could be placed on top? The earth is millions of times heavier than a house - those foundations would have to be of iron.

Oh, I was certain you knew this. I can imagine you may have even contributed to his campaign fund.
At least he tried.
Why would a pastor go into politics? It would leave him no time to look after his congregation.

To stop all the witch craft & satanic going on's which is so prominent in Alabama.
Odd that there was no mention of that on his campaign website.

Infrared thermometers measure infrared light which is not visible light, so it is nonsense to speak of light being warmer or cooler since all you are measuring is a specific bandwidth of invisible radiation
Infrared thermometers measure temperature.
Normally like body temperature. They are relatively cheap is why I and other 'flat earthers' mention it.

[ The Berrcom Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer (Model JXB-178) is an FDA-approved device known for providing quick, non-invasive temperature readings for people, rooms, and surfaces. It is a popular choice due to its ease of use, accuracy, and clear display. ]
15 bucks.

The control could be the open air, or a controlled heat source, like an oven set to a specific temp.

Then one would get the temp of light coming from the moon, a ray of moon light. And then the temp of a non moon lit area. The moon light will be coolest.


In the morning, notice that the dawn does not cover the whole horizon, just the area the sun is approaching from. Also notice that often you can see the sun and moon in the sky at the same time.

Ancient buildings made to be in line with certain stars, are still in alignment today. No matter where in the world, anyone looking up sees the same set of stars, moving in the same courses they always have.

The earth is as the Bible describes.
It is not a ball Isaiah 22:18
It is a circle with dome above it. Isaiah 40:22

Do you worship peace as if it were God? After all, if "the circle of the earth" in Isaiah 40:22 means, as you claim, that the earth is a circle, then the words, "The God of peace" which appear in your signature must mean that peace is God.

In fact Isaiah 40:22 does not say that the earth is a circle. It mentions the circle (the Hebrew word can also mean "circuit") of the earth, so the earth has a circle.

Of peace, of being the key word. My God, the God of the Bible is the creator of all existence, the originator of the concept of peace and every other concept that can be imagined.

My point is that Isaiah 40:22 is definitely not saying that the earth is a ball, because Isaiah would have said ball if that is what he ment. Isaiah 22:18 shows that.

And stretches out the heavens as a tent to dwell in. Isaiah 40:22 gives a description of where we are, under a tent to dwell in.

Because the exposed surfaces loose heat more rapidly than covered areas. It’s called radiative cooling. It has nothing to do with the temperature of the moon “light” which it can’t measure anyway. You can do the test on a moonless night and the results are the same, in fact proving that it is radiative cooling. You guys need to learn science instead of parroting FE ignorant sources.

The moon reflects the light of the sun, but colors, including white light, have a temperature measured in Kelvin. Moonlight has a temperature of about 4000 Kelvin, like sunlight reflected off a white surface. In no way does it indicate that the moon produces its own light.

Founded on what?
Our planet is in space, there is nothing beneath it.

You quoted the verse which says, "where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?"
That says that there are foundations and then God placed the earth on top. How were those foundations laid if the earth is founded on nothing?
Or did God first create the underworld/Hades then go down there to lay foundations for the earth?

Supposedly. But on the flat earth there is heaven, the firmament & the underworld set on pillers & he hangs it all on nothing.

There is no flat earth, that's what all these hundreds of posts have been about.

If you scenario were correct the whole thing would still have to be encased in something - you can't have a flat, 40,000 foot deep earth, with the underworld beneath that and pillars beneath that. Or the pillars would be dangling in the air and the earth would have no foundations at all.

Well this is the way God created it, a three tier earth.
