You ignored the main part of my statement and latched on to a secondary element of it so that you wouldn't have to address that main point... deflection.Deflection? Where?
Are you saying you're incapable of speaking the truth? (Illogical question, I know)
Top of the thread.
Overnight? That makes sense.
Globe? Errrrrrrrrhhhh...that's a stretch.
Aren't you the guy who thinks the earth is mushroom-shaped? That's not any better.
It is more creative though, I will give you that.
That's right tiger, its a slippery slope to the Goetia and the Quabbala...and cricketers' memoirs.Trust me. You do not delve into any pseudepigrapha from the new testament. Do so at your own risk.
But don’t have anything to do with stupid arguments about [the shape of the Earth]. And stay away from disagreements and quarrels about the [the shape of the Earth]. Such arguments are useless and senseless. (CEV)
2 Cor 10:5
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ
arguments = reasoning hostile to the Christian faith
exalts itself = to be lifted up with pride
knowledge of God = general Christian knowledge, things lawful and unlawful for Christians and moral wisdom such as seen in right living
So, with this understanding 2 Cor 10:5 is saying:
we should cast down any prideful reasoning that is hostile to the Christian faith and goes against our basic understanding of Christianity and argues in a way that goes against the way we should act as Christians.

I thought you were flat earther, already seen and head it all many times on here before, you're kind of late to the party.
Or perhaps you are going for a triangular prism? I prefer a potato myself, could make chips then mmm.
It has to be. It's the Creator's design.
Isn't it interesting how flat earthers were always teased about not having a working model wherein the sun never seemed to set, then a working model comes along and everyone cries bully?!
You could start with an accurate map of your version of the earth.
I didn't ask you to explain faith. I want to know why you don't test your understanding of God's word. If you test it and it passes the test, wouldn't that increase your confidence in it? If it doesn't pass the test, wouldn't you want to know? Does faith have to be blind, or are you allowed to use your own eyes?
How do direct flights between Sydney and Santiago work in your 'simulation'?Science says this, science says that.
Should we care? No.
What does scripture say?
A sizable number of scriptures show, if anything, earth is not a spinning ball.
We test all things (including science), through God's word.
We do not test God's word, through things (especially science).
The truth is out.
It is almost always an error to call the Bible "God's word" since what one is referring to is not the Bible itself, but one's own personal interpretation of the Bible.Missed this.
I never said anything about testing my understanding of God's word.
I spoke of testing (the validity of) God's word. We don't do that.
I don't need science to prove to me the rightness of His word.
I use His word to prove the rightness of science.
So yes, faith has to be blind, so that the exact opposite of walking by faith is walking by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight. (KJV)

We had passed the point in our discussion ... of East and West showing up in the scriptures ...Scriptures which depict east and west as points of rising and setting respectively, have no bearing on our discussion?
"Local man is stunned."
This makes no sense.
Missed this.

Well, how do you test your understanding of God's word?
Most Christians accept the sphericity of the earth, and it does not conflict with their understanding of the scriptures. How is one to determine whose understanding is to be preferred?
