You've quoted 2 random verses from random Psalms and are trying to make them fit your theory.

In that case, you believe that the Lord planted a garden in the EAST, in Eden, Genesis 2:8. Eden was in the EAST. The North Pole isn't - end of argument.

Oh....... OK.

And where is Zion exactly.
Smith's Bible Dictionary says:

"Mount Zion is the southern terminus and western tongue of the high table-land, or double promontory, on which Jerusalem was built, and is the highest of its hills. Elevated, and surrounded by deep, trench-like ravines on the west, south, and east, with a deep depression, or valley, in the ridge on the north, it was a position of great natural strength."

Zion is used for Jerusalem often in the bible. Here is an example of a verse where both are used:

“And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy — everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem.” (Isa 4:3 NKJV)

"He who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem" shows that Zion and Jerusalem are the same place.

I don't practice it silly, like you I know all about it, I would never go down that road.
Somebody who knows all about eastern mysticism would never post anything promoting it as you did in post #26, not even as a theory. I’m not saying you practise it, but that you seem to be heavily influenced by it. This is leading you away from Scripture into the realms of pagan spirituality.

Oh sorry about that I didn't realize it was Pagan.

I have edited the post.

This whole post is pagan. None of it is remotely in Scripture. What Bible verse even hints that God has a brain?

@Apple Sky This whole thread is all over the place. You dip into random Scriptures which you take out of their contexts, dip into pagan philosophies and beliefs, dip into Mercator's map, claiming it is accurate & that Mercator went to the North Pole, when Mercator himself says that he based it on existing charts (which in themselves were not accurate regarding the North Pole because nobody had gone there until centuries later) and prior voyage records, and never claimed to have gone to the North pole. He also stated very clearly that the earth is a globe/sphere in both the title of his map and in the text.

You seem very mixed up in your thinking here and become defensive when your very obvious errors are pointed out. I think you should drop this line of thinking because it simply is not biblical in any way.

I agree.
@Applesky, for your own sake, please try to drop/overcome your addiction to conspiracy theories. They seem to be leading you into all sorts of nonsense. Become addicted to reading, and understanding, Scripture instead. Jesus' word is truth and will make you clean; conspiracy theories won't.
For example, you've spent much time arguing that Eden is at the North Pole, at the heart of the earth, whereas if you'd read Genesis 2 you would know that it's in the East - neither at the North nor in the middle.

Mercator believed the earth to be a globe/sphere & stated his map is just that. There’s no point in using his map to claim a flat earth when it is anything but.

It is also a proven fact that his map of the North Pole is wrong, which is not surprising since he never went to the North Pole & never claimed he did. You have not produced even a shred of evidence to support your claims, just videos making the same claims also without a shred of evidence.

It is very frustrating to listen to videos claiming flat earth using his map. It comes across as pure denial of facts & nothing more.

I thank you all for your comments but you are all wrong in so many ways.
In your opinion.

What you don't seem to understand, though, is that it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference.
We still believe in Jesus, the Triune God and the Gospel.
We believe, read and study the Bible and are filled with God's Holy Spirit.
That's all that matters.
If God, one day, says to us, "by the way, you were wrong about the shape of the earth", so what?
If, on the other hand, he said to you, "you were wrong about the shape of the earth - which doesn't matter - but you publicly accused one of my children of lying about having walked on the moon"; what would you do then?

I'll will drop it as from taday.
Anyway, if you're going to drop it, you should ask the Mods to close this thread. Since it is about the "Micro" and "Macro" and how our bodies mirror the earth - which is a pagan doctrine.

I have publicly apologized for this.

Anyway how do I get the Mods to close this thread ?

My point was that that is far more serious, before God, than the shape of the earth.
Even if the earth turned out to be a dodecahedron, it doesn't affect anything - far less our salvation.

This is between God & myself, who are you to judge ?
I'm not judging; I'm stating a fact.
Being wrong about the shape of the earth is no big deal. Being wrong about men walking on the moon and having insulted them, is. As you say though, it's between you and God; not my problem.

No it's not so why hark on about it ?
