No, it's true.
Yet you've already said that you can't prove your position - that the earth is flat.
So how do you know?

I really don't think you realise how many times you have shot yourself in the foot in this thread.
You previously posted a photo of Antarctica, which clearly shows the curve of the earth.
You've posted a short clip from YouTube which is supposed to show Buzz Aldrin denying the moon landings - actually, it shows the opposite.
You now say that we have a flat earth but with a circumference around it. That's called a circle, by the way - unless the flat earth is suspended inside the circle in some way?

If the outer circumference of the earth is called Antarctica, then anyone who goes to Antarctica should be able to see over the edge of the earth.
So why hasn't anyone done that or told us about it?

Because there isn't an edge, the earth carries on over the iced walls & Admiral Richard Byrd has lay witness to this as he flew over Antarctica's iced walls.

No. He only witnessed that behind the south pole there is an area as large as the USA, which is roughly true. But it was unexplored in his times.

Nearly 100 years ago.
So not up to date then.

Antarctica circumferences the earth.

View attachment 342529
That is an azimuthal equidistant projection of the globe model, which becomes increasingly distorted as you move south of the equator. It isn't a map that was developed by flat earthers through their own measurements and research.

This boat was just testing the waters to see if they came up against the military & guess what, they did.
Do you know that Oxford have removed the word "gullible" from their dictionary?

Something going on this long and as wide spread as it is. It is a perfect mix of man and being man is a sinner, plus satans deceptive power working with a more that willing sinful humanity.​
It's nothing to do with sin or Satan's deceptive power.
This thread - in the Conspiracy section of the forum - has only gone on for as it has because some of us are trying, in vain, to show the flat earthers that they are wrong.
The OP says they believe in a round earth - they just wanted other views.
Adds up to a near perfect deception, taking in many, even believers, who has The Bible to bring light to this deception.​
The Bible is not a science textbook. It does not state, teach or explain the shape of the world that God created.
Believing in a round earth does not affect, change or negate a believer's salvation. It does not mean that we/they don't read the Bible. It does not show that we are deceived, or are in the grip of Satan.

Especially unbelievers who many are rejecting life because of the science lies of globe earth, evolution, the discounting of the flood and other Biblical events.​
Are you seriously telling me that you have told unbelievers about Jesus, the cross, God's amazing, unconditional love and they've said, "we don't believe it, or want anything to do with it because of evolution/the shape of the earth?
All because science states that these events did not happen as the way The Bible states they did .​
Science does not say that these events did not happen the way the Bible said they did.

The only important person regarding salvation, is Jesus.
No one will be saved from sin, reconciled to God and have eternal life because of the shape of the earth - which the Bible does not teach in any case.

Satan uses many deceptions to keep people for receiving The life of God: religion, false gospels, money, sex/lust, drugs etc.. why do you think satan would not also use God's creation to deceive people.

Very true. Satan has used many deceptions in getting people to believe in a flat earth.

Quite the opposite actually, Satan has deceived billions of people into believing that the earth is a spinning ball, well lets face it he's had 6,000 years to do it in & knows the Bible inside out.

Nope. Flat earth belief is very false. The Bible doesnt say the earth is flat. God doesnt lie. People interpret scripture to say it is. That, is the work of satan!

As @Apple of Eden posted earlier, belief in a flat earth could lead one to embrace any number of ancient pagan cosmologies.

The only 'evidence' you've put forward for the flat-earth model so far is your personal interpretation of Scripture. Every time you've been asked for physical evidence you've failed to provide anything valid.

Believing in a flat earth makes no one, a God of The Bible believer. It may or may not eventually lead a person to come to see God as The true God of creation and still then, they may even fall short of believing in Jesus for Eternal Life.
Buy just as the way the globe is presented now may lead a person to believe in The God of The Bible. But again that same statement can be said about this belief , they may even fall short of believing in Jesus for Eternal Life.

So people are going to believe and embrace what they believe to be true, whether they are christian or pagan/nonbeliever.

But still nonbelieving peoples introduce the idea that creation was a globe, It was not the believing nation of Israel.

Like Mr Seely make a case for, that tribal peoples believed in a flat earth. Which were pagan or at best nonbelievers in The God of The Bible.

So flat earth in ancient times like now may cause people to believe in all sorts of beliefs.
