Explain v
God didn't reveal His plan of salvation all at once but gradually over the centuries. God didn't reveal the existence of all the heavenly hosts in the beginning but slowly over time.

Genesis states it was the serpent that led Eve to disobey God. Now we know it was Satan.

A globe earth is a pagan/satanic invention.
Here is a simple experiment that anyone living on the coast can do that proves the earth is a ball.
If we look out to the horizon at eye level, if the earth was flat then the horizon would be at eye level. This is because the distance between our eyes and sea level will appear smaller and smaller the further out we look until it reaches the vanishing point where that distance now appears to be zero.

Get a flexible transparent tube and form it into a "U" shape then mostly fill it with water and a little bit of food coloring (makes it easier to see the top of the water in the tube).
Then hold the tube in front of you with one side close and the other further away, and adjust the height until the top of the water in each part of the tube line up with each other while looking out towards the horizon. The top of the water will be perfectly horizontal and parallel to the earths surface at eye level.

What you will see is that the horizon is below the level of the water surface in the tube ends. It does not line up with eye level because the earth is curving down away from the horizontal. This is irrefutable proof that the earth is not flat but is indeed a globe.

Thats too complicated for Flat earth believers! Lol

Hold on when does it say it was satan? didn't God punish the serpent to make snakes evil forever or suffering? Sorry I need to read the bible. I will. But if the snake was satan like u say then why would the animal "snake" in which satan was disguised as be punished. No. It wasn't satan i don't think. Also does that mean the snakes are all satan now?

Also something was just revealed to us in your theory just now.. It wasn't completely CHANGED like going from flat earth to round.

I said the same thing earlier.. Greek guy measured the earth.. And it wasn't some new theory.. Everyone casually knew it was round and he just was the one to measure it. But.. so why did the bible say it was flat? Did they say it was flat.. or is it technically FLAT to us mortals...... Because from where we stand technically it is flat... We aren't meant to know it's round... This is our world and to us it's flat

The image the Hebrews, like other ancient peoples, had of the universe was one of relationships of power and responsiblity, and order vs chaos. Any interest in the actual physical make up of the universe came much later. The illustration in Genesis, as far as it goes, of the cosmos reflects this kind of cosmogony. You can read about this in 'the lost world of Genesis one', and about the evidence for prehistoric humans' concern with social relationships in, as one example, David Lewis-William's 'The Mind in the Cave'. The preoccupations we have in the modern world with how the universe functions and so on were not part of the OT world mindset.

This can all end very easily just record a rocket leaving the earth. Showing the earth surface from higher and higher till the recording begins to show the whole globe earth. Which according to science sources should be about 90 minutes. Only 90 minutes.

But no this recording will never be made because it can not, as the highest man can send something up over the earth is about 30 miles.

A recording of a rocket going up and then traveling parallel to the earths surface till it goes back to the earth surface.

This video states this rocket is going to mars, to bad it never goes higher than about 30 miles.


What a lie.

God didn't change anything in the Bible, but that doesn't mean He put everything in it. The Word of God is infinite. God didn't stop talking to us just because John penned Revelations.

except, before the calculating of the earth as a sphere-like object, the pagan greeks believed in a flat earth model as well, as did all other pagan societies around the world.
How did they calculate that?

Magic, in other words

Well, this is ironic. The FE needs no force to keep objects on it's surface.

However, the globe is rotating and has objects on all of its circumference. Without some force, these objects would fall or fly off.

Not only that.. but... this mysterious force of attraction that is based on the mass of an object... is severely lacking when they try to calculate it.. There is 93% missing mass to account for the gravity of the universe..

Neil DeGras described this well and called our science "93% stupid".

The FE has no need for your magical force.

Pressure is related to the energy of gas molecules. The higher the energy, the higher the pressure. Gas molecules in the upper reaches of the atmosphere have very little energy and are easily held by the earth's gravity. The balloon is filled with a gas that less dense than the volume of air it displaces, so it is pushed up until it reaches a point of equilibrium or the balloon bursts. They don't simply keep going up into space. Submarines use the same principle to be able to float at different depths under the water.

Still, after all the jabber above... An absolute vacuum, that exists in space, would suck our atmosphere away. All the spin cannot explain that simple fact.

First you agree and then you spout complete nonsense.

Nope.. If I have a straight pole and I point it directly west... the other end will point directly east... It's not rocket science.

Buoyancy is what causes balloons to float in the air and stop submarines from sinking. It has nothing to do with air pressure.

Ya, so? What is your point.

Unfortunately you can't kill stupidity.
Well, that's a bit harsh..

Look up Eratosthenes.
Thank you....

That was the answer that I expected..

If you look to earlier posts on this thread, you will see that Eratosthenes experiment works on both the FE model and the globe....

This is why people need to research both models.. The things we are told that are supposed to prove the globe... work on the FE.. this makes them void as evidence.

That looks like a SpaceX rocket, so it is launching a satellite into orbit. It is definitely not going to Mars with a payload that tiny. If it was bigger it might have been a supply launch for the ISS which orbits at 250 miles.
What a lie.
Your post was.

It doesn't if you do the same experiment in multiple locations. Look up the Eratosthenes Project. Schools and universities all over the globe take part and their results are only consistent with a globe.
