  • 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

Another look at the moon landing.

Because that is what the sun is, always the same size, it doesn't disappear over the horizon it's just moved further away to another part of the earth too either give sunrise or sunset.
Of course the un doesn't change size. Neither does your hand change size when you move it from close to your face to as far away from your face as you can reach, yet the sun appears to remain the same size, even though you say it has moved further away. Your hand appears to get smaller the further you move it from your eyes. Why doesn't the sun appear to get smaller?

You continue to say that the sun doesn't disappear over the horizon, but it does. I have watched it set, and so have you. If it just got further away until we could no longer see it, it would appear smaller and smaller, but it doesn't.

Because the sun is circuiting the sky & doesn't change in size.

King James Bible
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

That doesn't really answer the question. Things usually appear smaller the further they are from the observer. You claim that the sun "just moved further away to another part of the earth ." (my emphasis.) If it moves further away in the evening, why doesn't it appear smaller than it does at midday, when it is closer?

King James Bible
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
“Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭19‬:‭6‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

I prefer the NASB translation. Is much more accurate than the outdated KJV. You would benefit from the NASB because is much easier to read and you already have enough troubles reading it that you don’t need more. If you notice the verse that you quoted the psalm exactly describes what happens to the sun in the morning and then the evenings. Sunrise occurs in the east (one end of the heavens) and sets in the west (the other end of the heavens). It is the normal circuit in a spherical earth not in a flat earth. The circuit in a flat earth would cause the sun to never set on the other side of the world as it does now. When it is day in Wales where you live it is dark in Australia. @prodromos can verify that. So the biblical observable account of the movement of the sun proves a spherical earth.

Yes it does.

This is correct as the sun never sets, it goes down but never sets.

When it is day in Wales where you live it is dark in Australia.

This is what I said & visa a versa.

So the biblical observable account of the movement of the sun proves a spherical earth.

How does it ? The sun circuits the sky & the earth does not circuit the sun, this verse proves the earth is flat.

i like this lady's comment on this website that is tries to debunk the flat earth . On the topic of the sun, she writes

The Apparent Size of the Sun

Yes the size of the sun does change if you watch it in time lapse. During the winter the sun moves farther away. The analema proves the sun circles in and out. This is a FACT. It would not produce a smaller circle in the n hemisphere if we were on a spinning water ball going around the sun. Study primer fields and the actual flat earth model before you make a fool of yourself posting this

Here is a video of the sun and the analema, also note the small ellipse at the north and the larger ellipse in the south.

So you deny the many Scripture verses which state that the sun rises and sets.

Zeal without understanding.

No.

Well it didn't set for Joshua 10:13 it just went down.

Anyway I remember someone saying that the Bible shouldn't be taken literally.

And she makes an absolute fool of herself, not understanding the globe model.
Here is a video of the sun and the analema, also note the small ellipse at the north and the larger ellipse in the south.

From the video description:
Timelapse of the Sun in the West, one picture every 24 hours. Watch as the Sun traces out a figure 8 in the sky each year from 2015 to 2018. The shape of this path is known as the solar analemma.

Why does the position of the Sun change each day? The Earth spins and revolves around the Sun, but the Earth's spin is tilted compared to its orbit. Sometimes the Earth's North Pole tilts toward the Sun, and sometimes it tilts away. This makes the Sun appear to shift North and South from one day to the next and creates the north-south motion in the analemma.

It takes the Earth about 23 hours and 56 minutes to spin once, but because it is also moving in its orbit, the Earth has to spin a few minutes more for the same side to face the Sun. The Earth's orbit is elliptical, and the Earth moves faster in its orbit when it is closer to the Sun. So sometimes the Earth has to spin more to return the same side to face the Sun, and sometimes it takes less time. This creates the east-west motion in the analemma.

This video was made from a series of pictures that were each taken 24 hours apart by the HPWREN cameras at the Mount Laguna Observatory in San Diego County over a 3 year period.​

So do you.
I'm not being a hypocrite. You are the one that claims literal interpretation of obviously non literal texts, yet when the Scriptures describe something that we can clearly observe every single day, you want to claim it doesn't mean what it says.

Science is full of people being worse than being a hypocrite. Science is full of deceiving liars from a globe earth and outer space to evolution.

Which will use AI to its full deceptive power when it come time to fake another moon and mars trip.

You are the one that claims literal interpretation of obviously non literal texts,

And when it suits you, you claim that Scripture is non literal.
