Not sure it's inspired though. Take the Apocalypse of St Paul, clearly not written by him, and gives a detailed description of hell. Not part of the canon for good reason.

Trust me. You do not delve into any pseudepigrapha from the new testament. Do so at your own risk.

Case closed.

Good. Case closed. Because this is absurd and pointless. Kind of like magical thinking. Flat Earthers seem to think that The Bible and Reality need to be contradictory to what science tells us. And hence, in order for life to have true meaning and purpose it needs to be irrational.

Why is that?

Not a flat earther. Sorry.

Also, Scriptures and reality align. Science is what you ought to question.

It's also amazing that a spinning ball with people living above and beneath, being flung through space isn't utterly absurd and magical wishful thinking.

But God's word, indicating a stationary, immovable plane seems absurd.

If I had to explain that, then I would have to question your faith.

Oh wait...

Can't you explain it anyway? I don't see how your answer can possibly depend on who I am. You must have your own reasons... what are they?

Tell me. How do you help someone understand the sweetness of sugar, if they've made up their mind to never taste it?

Give me the right answer, then I'll answer your question.

I try to describe how it is for me, from my perspective.

Can you describe your reasons, from your perspective?

Based upon proper understanding of scriptures.

Tell me. What is "earth" used in scripture as a metaphor for?
I said that the Earth is described metaphorically, as in having "four corners" ...

Not a flat Earther? Sure sounds like it. ig you have such contempt for science how do you reconcile using all it's benefits, like computers and internet?
