  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Flat Earth Theory.

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

How can we be both "unmoveable" and "always abounding" at the same time?
I see what you did there. <Laff>

I've given many pointers towards the Bible insinuating towards a level earth,
Ah, Biblical insinuation. Wonderful stuff. But the short form is that no, the Bible doesn't say the earth is flat.
more than anyone else here has, in regards to the earth being a spinning ball, that's b/c it isn't.
Your evidence being...?
The Bible does not in anyway mention a spinning ball orbiting the sun, but it does mention the earth being unmovable.
Depends on one's perspective, doesn't it?

So you cling to flat earth rubbish knowing that there's no Scriptural basis for doing so, correct?

Would you ask a shepherd to explain to you the Godhead to your satisfaction?
No more than I asked that nincompoop.
Some use water's three states: solid, gas, and liquid to illustrate the Godhead.
Modalism, explicitly heretical.
I think his remark was uncalled for.
Sometimes the lofty position of pastor goes to people's heads. Anyway, I was used to that kind of crud. "Where are you from?" Cheatham County. "Your English is really very good!" One would hope so, my dad's family had lived in Middle Tennesee for a well over a century . "Do you eat dogs?" And the endlessly hilarious pulling at the corners of the eyes,sticking out the front teeth,and chanting "Ah so ching chang chong you Chinee!" actually advised my oldest daughter to hit a kid as hard as she could if he kept doing that to her (I am half redneck, you see), and ultimately she did just that. Apparently being punched in the eye by a skinny little girl and then hauled to the office was a great source of merriment for his "friends", so he never did it again. And who says violence never solved anything?
He should have just said that the Godhead is one of the (seven?) mysteries of the Bible and let it go at that.
Yeah, it's generally best left to the Creeds. But if you're a Tennessee Baptist you believe in "No creed but Christ", which, unfortunately, is a creed....

Polaris is located about 1 degree off to the side of the north celestial pole, so Polaris does move a little, tracing a very small arc in the night sky, around which the other visible stars make wider circles.

Lies:

The rotational axis.
This is the imaginary line that extends through the planet and out of the north and south poles. Earth rotates around this line, like a spinning top.

o_O Have you noticed that rockets never go straight up ?

Have you noticed that all of your posts haven’t the least bit of logic or reason, and never take into account rational thought processes, such as escape velocity and correct trajectory calculations?

Every post you make exposes Your delusions

Dont try to change the topic. You asked for an evidence Earth is a spinning ball, there it is.

Now, show me any rocket cam showing a flat earth. Any photograph showing flat earth. Use a balloon cam or whatever you wish. You can even use CGI and invent the flat earth completely, but make it look realistic, with actual weather, forests, cities etc... and astronomically working.

Thanks.

No evidence at all - Sorry.
All the evidence you need - a cam from a space rocket. The satellite put on orbit you can see in the video is still sending images. Do you care to explain how it works?

Now show me your evidence, any photograph, footage or even just a working CGI of the flat earth.

Nothing is a delusion except your spinning ball.
Your posts make as much sense as this:

Have you noticed how noisy diesel engines are in trucks? This means that diesel engine designers are all deaf. If they could hear properly they would design the engines to be quieter.

That’s how your posts read to anyone who has even a little bit of common sense.

Seems like a ball, seems spinning. Now your evidence its flat, please.
Dont try to change the topic. You asked for an evidence Earth is a spinning ball, there it is.

Take another look at your video


@ 1:34 The rocket starts to arc over
@1:56 goes horizontal
@ 2:06 it's desending
@2:48 it shows a wobbly film with a fake view of earth
@ 3:39 more fakery

Oh & by the way, who's filming all this?

This video is nothing more than a cop out :tearsofjoy: You are truly being deceived, BIG TIME

Dont try to change the topic, I do not care about your amateurish critique of something you have no understanding of.

I am still waiting for your evidence the earth is flat - a photograph, video footage, I will even grant you freedom to create a realistic CGI, but it must be working.

BTW, do you care to explain how the satellite the rocket put on our orbit works? How does it continuously send images without falling down?

Your evidence it is a spinning ball - Please..........
And a couple of thousand years of empirical evidence, as opposed to “don’t look like no ball to me”.
Right.
