Can't you tell me ?

Lol, you have been told! Numerous times in this very thread! This just goes to show how you easily dismiss the truth and only concentrate on what you believe, which, are untruths and unscientific baloney!

You've already been told by multiple people.

Watch a ball spin with a rotation rate of once every 24 hours. You won't see water flying off it. It's not the surface speed that throws things off, it's the rotation rate.

I thought it was via gravity, this is the BS I hear off most globe believers.

Doesn't matter. I'm sure you've noticed by now that stuff falls onto the ground. Stuff isn't going to go flying off the ground without a rapid acceleration or rapid change in direction. A really gradual change in direction (a slowly rotating globe) isn't going to do it.

Gravity is just a theory and has never been proven.
The law of gravity calculates the amount of attraction while the theory describes why objects attract each other in the first place.
As theories go, "gravity" is perhaps one of the best tested out there, with consistent results every time, so to say it is "just a theory" is to present yourself as a fool.

Possibly he does. But I don't believe for one minute that the shape of the earth prevents someone from being saved.
You never hear evangelists including a flat earth in their Gospel presentations - even the NT writers didn't do that.
Jesus never said "believe in a flat earth and you will have eternal life."
The shape of the earth is not mentioned, or hinted at, in the Lord's Prayer, the Nicene creed or Apostles' creed.
The first Christian confession of faith was "Jesus is Lord", not "the earth is flat".
I don't believe that anyone says to a non Christian, "You believe that you are a sinner and cannot get to heaven by yourself, you accept that Jesus was, and is, God and that he died for you, you want to confess your sins and ask God to help you and have a relationship with him? Great! Now confess that the earth is flat, and you are ready to be saved". If they ever did, they should go back to college.
Satan hates God, Jesus and any mention of the cross. It is by the name of Jesus that Satan is overcome/driven out - not by stating that the earth is flat/round. In the book of Job it was Satan who said to God, "of course Job praises you, you have blessed him. Take that away and see what happens." Satan could only afflict Job up to a point. He was not powerful on his own, he needed God's permission before he could do anything. He never tried to get Job to change his ideas about the shape of the earth - he tried to get Job to curse God for his suffering, then he would die.

The only way that Satan uses this issue is by tying Christians up in knots so that they forget to concentrate on what is important. To get Christians fighting each other, so we forget we are supposed to be fighting him; persuading Christians to waste their time, and energy, debating unimportant, pointless issues instead of spending that time in prayer, mission or taking the Gospel to others.
And - like all the other interesting but trivial and non salvation issues that are debated on this forum, in church meetings and elsewhere - it looks like he's succeeding.

Just think what could happen if every Christian on this forum spent even half an hour a day extra in prayer for the world/Ukraine/Israel/Gaza instead of writing long posts? I can guarantee that all these debates would still be here when, or if, we got back - but what might have changed in that time?
-

Anything can be used to foster doubt and that is all that is needed to keep a person from having faith in God's word (The Bible). Which is needed to become a born again child of God, because through The Bible is given the words of life that point to believing in Jesus for God's free gift of Eternal Life.

So if doubt is created about the truthfulness of The Bible in creation areas, many may also have doubt about The Bibles witness on Jesus, Eternal Life, heaven, hell, etc...

Interesting how you will get your way to receive salvation from The Bible, but yet The Bible is not good enough for you when it comes of God;s creation.
