I already have in post 166.
I get that in post 166 you claim "The tides are caused by magnetism from the center of our level earth as thus:"

I'm asking you to explain how magnetism causes the tides. I only ask because water has a magnetic susceptibility (the degree a material can be magnetized in response to an applied magnetic field) less than or equal to zero.

Look up, how does salt water and magnet produce electricity.

So if God stopped doing it then objects would just float? Does a flat Earth rotate?
-
Throughout The Bible it is seen, God is in control of Hos creation. An Ax head floats on water, people are raised from death, water is parted, water is walked upon, etc...

The earth does not move or rotate

But you did.
ONCE I used the wrong word by mistake. This did not change the meaning of your post - which was that you agreed with what D Taylor said.

Either you're becoming obsessed with words, or you fail to understand what I am saying.
Of course it could be that you understand perfectly well what I am saying but are trying to change the subject because you can't refute my argument.

Your the one becoming obsessed with words & spellings.
You can't admit to what I'm saying.

It's a shame, but I'm not surprised.

So why does the starfield appear to rotate in a why consistent with a globe Earth?
-
That is the key to deception there are quite a few appearances that seem to give the impression that the earth is a globe. But because of The Bible, people can if they will simply believe God's creation account. Can become aware of these deceptions. if not for The Bible basically there would be no gauge to be used in establishing what is true concerning God's creation and what is not.

If God created everything, then the universe that He created is at least as much a testament to His work as the Bible. We look at the universe and find awesome wonders that flat Earthers scoff at and consider to be just useless points of light embedded in a dome.

What am I supposed to be admitting to ?
Never mind.
I've had enough of this conversation. It's not at all useful, important or edifying - just like the shape of the earth.

How does the deception make it look as if the star field acts consistently with a globe Earth? Star gazers for thousands of years have seen the same sky.

How is the deception actioned?

It's a pity that some people aren't prepared to believe what they can see, test or observe, learn from other people's discoveries and be inspired by their testimonies. It's a pity that they would rather call the other 99% of people in the world - which includes Christians - liars, deceived, deluded or Freemasons, rather than admit that they have misinterpreted Genesis 1 and take it all literally when it was not written to be so.

The Bible does not teach a flat earth; the idea that the earth is flat is not in the Bible.
And it is not in there because that is not the purpose of the Bible. The statement, "the earth is a flat disc" tells us nothing about God, nothing about salvation, nothing about the Christian life, how to be filled with the Holy Spirit, how to worship, find God's will or a dozen and one other things.
God did not inspire the Bible to teach the shape of the earth - it's not in there because it's not important; he doesn't need us to know.
When God revealed himself to Job he did not say "and the earth is flat, which you need to believe". The Psalmist did not say "the heavens proclaim the glory of God and the flat earth does too." Jesus did not teach that this belief was important, or even a thing.
It's irrelevant. Christians can be perfectly good, sincere, committed Spirit-filled people without believing in a flat earth.
It's not even very interesting.

It is, it is similar to belief in Jesus. many just cannot believe receiving God's free gift of Eternal Life salvation is that simple. Just as they can not believe God can give an accurate creation that is as accurate today as it was when the words were first recorded.

Why does what people are saying is God's creation not agree with The Bible.
