Flat Earth Theory.

[prodromos]

I do believe the earth to be level & unmovable only b/c it states it in scripture, if it didn't there is no way I would have believed the earth to be flat.

There are lots of things the Scriptures state, but you are completely arbitrary in whether you interpret them literally or figuratively.

 

[Phil G]

I believe the earth is a rotating globe because the Scripture does not state otherwise & all the evidence I see points to it as a fact.

In other words, you are quite willing to believe testimony and scientific evidence that the earth is a globe, but a particular interpretation of a few verses in the Bible - a non scientific textbook - leads you to believe that it is flat.

The Bible is not a science textbook.
Even if it had been and the authors had fully intended to make scientific statements about the shape of the earth, they would be limited by what they knew. What we can know, see and observe about the earth changes all the time - at one time, I understand, people thought that thunder was caused by gods, or heavenly beings, moving furniture around.

God did not say "Moses/Job/David, I want you to write this about the shape of the earth .... and I will inspire you to write about atoms, or whatever, which people will discover in 2000 years time."
The Bible says all kinds of things about the earth - that it has foundations, for example, and pillars. Pillars, and foundations, give a building stability. If someone is building a house they have to dig down through the earth, and maybe concrete, to lay deep, firm foundations. If they are putting pillars into a building, it is likely to be to hold things up.
What are the foundations of the earth rooted in? Has our planet been placed onto pillars to hold it up?
The Bible also writes about the earth having 4 corners - yet you have been telling us that it is flat with a circumference (which is the edge around a circle.)

I cannot seem to distance myself from my belief in Flat Earth;


Why would they lie and hide the FLAT EARTH?

When the bible says God has let Satan rule this world for a limited time Satan is the government

everyone wants to explore antarctica, but i believe the northern polar vortex is hiding something equally fascinating. but both areas hold the proof to our flat realm.

We are without a doubt living on His firm non-rotating foundation. Many verses point us to the truth of the creation and true shape of earth but many Christians think the concept of the true shape of earth will undermine their believe in Jesus. They are afraid it came on their path to be a substitute rather to be acknowledged and seen as His living altar and completion of His creation. Many Christians are still waiting for a moment in time at which a strong delusion will be presented but I say to you that whomever believes in the lie, which contradicts creation, is living in that strong delusion 24/7. What would set you free? Yes, the truth will set you free! The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you GOD

A direct quote from this video:

"I walked away from it all because this is the most important topic of our time. This is the one that unplugs us from the matrix. This is the one that frees us from the tyranny that's going on."

This is all false. Not once did this guy talk about Jesus being the way the truth and the life. Not once did he place Jesus as the most important topic of our time, and not just our time but ALL time. Not once did he state that it is Jesus who frees us from tyranny.

Instead he took Jesus from His rightful place and never even mentioned Him! This is how you know Satan's lies. Satan wants to remove Jesus from the Gospel and place anything else there. The alleged lie of the 'globe earth' and the alleged truth of the 'flat earth' is this guy's saviour, not Jesus.

Jesus is the truth, not an alleged flat earth. And how anyone can thank Jesus for someone allegedly "exposing the truth" when he never even mentions Jesus, who IS the truth, is beyond me!

Do you mean where is God our creator in a universe of infinite size and infinite complexity which mankind will never understand compared to a simplistic flat earth with simplistic dome over it?

I just mean't , folks here are always telling me that flat earth isn't in the scriptures, so where in scripture does it mention the info in the video you posted ?

@Apple Sky If you want some food for thought (which you like) that is based in our amazing reality, try this:

The answer is very simple, the Bible says nothing about the science of the universe. That is left to mankind to study and to grow in knowledge.

“The works of the LORD are great, Studied by all who have pleasure in them.” Psalm 111:2 NKJV

The mistake FE’ers make is to think that the Bible is a science manual for the earth and the universe. It isn’t. It’s all about God & His provision for our salvation, namely His Son Jesus.

I haven't watched the video so I don't know - but the Bible is not a science textbook!
If the video mentions modern day scientific discoveries; the Bible writers simply didn't know about them. Even if they had, I suspect they would not have put them in the Bible, because that was not their purpose in writing.

You might as well ask; "where does the Bible say that we can use YouTube videos to learn/for entertainment?"
Or; "where does the Bible say that we can write on computers, on Christian Forums, to try to convince others"
It doesn't.
The Bible is about God; his works - creation; his will - that we believe in Jesus and are saved (John 6:40); his nature - love (1 John 4:8). and so on.
If the shape of the earth was vital to our spiritual life, growth and well being, God would have told us.

And you have admitted that a flat earth is not in the Scriptures.

So are my flat earth videos which you guys find hilarious or reluctant to watch.

No they’re not, they’re pseudo science & conspiracy theories. They’ve nothing to do with actual science.

I do know what the Bible is for & I believe every word except for the parables of course.

No, Jesus saying He’s the door and the vine are neither parables nor literal.

I can only watch so much stupid before it starts to hurt. What I find annoying is that you post those videos without giving them any critical evaluation yourself. If it's pro flat earth, then you automatically give it a pass without any investigation as to the veracity of their claims.

 

[Apple Sky]

No they’re not, they’re pseudo science & conspiracy theories. They’ve nothing to do with actual science.

I have to disagree, some of the f/e video's are very informative and very true.
