Flat Earth Theory.

[Lost4words]

Not many, in fact it is nearly all, once they learn the truth through the scriptures there no turning back, like I said the Bible has nearly 200 passages pertaining to a level still earth.

Wrong! The Bible does not state that the earth is flat.

Its 'YOUR' interpretation of scripture that gives out the false narrative of a flat earth!

All the atheists I've come across don't even believe in the Scriptures - "written by men, many years after the events", "contradictory", etc.
So first you'd have to convince them of the truth of Scripture. Then you'd have to show them how a non scientific book, which was always intended to be a non scientific book, somehow contradicts what Scientists have proved to be true.

In my experience, if we get side tracked on deep, but unimportant, issues like that, we are not focusing on Jesus.
It is what people believe about HIM and his claims that will give them salvation and eternal life - nothing else. There are scientists who believe in a round earth and evolution who are saved, for example.

Does the sun look like it's 93 million miles away ?

Tell me something. if we live on a globe /ball how are all the masses down under going to see Jesus on his return ?

Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, Revelation 1:7

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together, Revelation 6:14

It is the firmament which scrolls back, and when it dose large lumps of hail will fall

And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great. Revelation 16:21

That happens when the earth is shook upside down a few times of course!!!

So that's your answer?
We have been talking about a flat earth and Scriptural teaching/proof and all you can say is "does the sun look like it's 93 million miles away?"

On a map, London does not look that far from Scotland - but it is if you're driving there.

Probably in the same way that those down under see the same sun, moon or stars, as we do.

I only asked as 93 million miles away is absolutely ridiculous lol'z

Hate to say it man, but you’re the one who looks absolutely ridiculous. What’s sad is that you don’t see it.

Viewing distance is highly subjective, especially when we are dealing with vast distances, however if you were to ask, "does the sun look like it is floating 200 miles above the earth's surface?" we can categorically answer "no", because if it was then it would appear smaller when near the horizon, grow larger until directly overhead, then shrink down again to the horizon. But it wouldn't even disappear over the horizon if the earth were flat, but would be constantly visible even if it was just a pin prick of light in the far distance.

 

[Strong in Him]

No, it isn't.
Try reading a science book and find out why, and how, the sun is that far away.

As everything we have comes from God, he gave scientists the ability to discover, question and learn more about his creation. He has allowed them to discover how awesome his universe is.
I'm afraid that you making a statement and saying "that ludicrous" or "LOL" says more about you that about the facts.

If a person viewing the moon during the day light hours and thinks they are looking at a moon that is 200,000+ miles out in a darkened outer space. There really is no help for them, if they can not see the moon is in the sky above their heads, they are science blinded.

On what basis is it ridiculous? Only in your imagination. Not in the real world. How did we find the distance to the sun?

You failed science in 4th grade, didn’t you?

Also there's the problem of speed.
The Equator circumference is 24,901 Miles so for the sun to go all around it on either Spring of Fall Equinox, it would have to traveling at 1040 MPH to complete the daily circuit.
Colorado is 380 Miles wide, so it would only take 22 minutes at that speed for the sun to go from the East Border to the West Border, yet people don't see the Sun traverse the sky from the east to the west in 22 minutes.
