Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

[prodromos]

“Water seeks its own level.” This is a universal principle which is applicable to water everywhere.​

And as shown above, "level" means equal heights, and height is in reference to the centre of the earth.

Nope. It was written by Jews to Jews. Is the command to stone adulterers also written to you? Or do you cherrypick?

Sorry but it was all written for all of the people to read.

So what are you trying to say here ?

 

[prodromos]

So what are you trying to say here ?

That you incorrectly assume "level" means "flat".
In the below photo at Lake Pontchartrain, all the pylons are the same height and are running in a straight line. They are all "level" yet they curve down in the distance because of the curvature of the earth.

The little kink near the end is caused by atmospheric refraction, causing the pylons to appear higher than they are.

 

[Strong in Him]

It does, it tells me where the two great lights are & the stars, it tells me how the earth is unmovable & so much more.......

It doesn't, because it is not a science textbook.

You say that the Bible says that the earth is fixed; anchored.
When God inspired the prophets to write that, was he making a factual, scientific statement? If he was and he wants us to know that the earth is immovable - which you say means, "anchored" - what is it anchored to?

A thing can only be anchored to something that is stronger than itself. A boat can't be anchored to a piece of seaweed, or lifebuoy; the anchor is thrown overboard so that it embeds itself in the seabed.
So what is the earth anchored to?
Truth has nothing to fear from questions, experiments and so on; why have scientists not confirmed the, apparent, scientific statement of the Bible that the earth is fixed and unmovable? Wouldn't that be cool if the Bible had made a scientific statement and, thousands of years later, scientists had to say, "yep; God was right"?
They haven't confirmed it because it's not a scientific, factual statement. You can't even answer the question, "what is the earth anchored to?" You can't show me from the Bible, because it's not in there and you can't give a scientific answer because it's not true. So you have made, yet another, statement with no evidence whatsoever.

And just because Genesis doesn't say, "then God caused the planets to move around the sun", doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.
The Bible doesn't tell us how God created angels either, but he did.

Google it.

That’s what I thought

 

[The Liturgist]

I do not know what text exactly they saw. If they even knew there are different texts.

I am not sure if I understand the question. How is the uncertainty what the text is supposed to be not a problem?


I do not know what text exactly they saw. If they even knew there are different texts. I think we have more sources than they did, thats why our situation is more complicated and our dogmas less dogmatic.

Do you have the NETS translation? You can check for example here: https://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/nets/edition/40-daniel-nets.pdf

The two versions they included in their print are so different that they basically had to have the whole book of Daniel translated twice.

Am having hand spasm will reply shortly God Bless

what is it anchored to?

Nothing, it could be that the entire universe is the earth, that's right, in the whole of the Universe there is the sun, moon & the trillions of stars, as the planets are just wondering stars. And the level earth is bigger than we think, it stretches further than we could imagine.

UNI -VERSE = ONE VERSE

I'll answer this later, but for now it's due to perspective.

The shrinking in size is due to perspective, but the downward curve is due to the earth being a sphere. If you draw straight lines along the base of the first few towers and the tops of the same, the vanishing point is above the horizon, not on the horizon as you would expect if the earth was flat.

 

[Strong in Him]

That's wrong.

 

[prodromos]

Nothing

Foundations, pillars etc. are always built on something else. You can't read "pillars" and "foundations" as literal and then immediately turn around and interpret their base as figurative.

 

[Apple Sky]

That's wrong.

Why is it ?

 

[Jipsah]

Satan counterfeits everything that God has made even us humans.

Hogwash. That's your dualist "evil god" claptrap again. That is in no way Christian.

God created a level unmovable earth with the sun, moon & all the stars set in the firmament which rotates daily.

Everything following "God created" is simply untrue.

Satan has created the dead opposite.

Satan isn't an evil god, or any other kind of "god". He's a creature, i.e., a created being. God made him, and he exists at God's sufferance, i.e., for as long as God is willing to put up with him. Satan can't create anything, he can only befoul, or try to, things that God has created.

 

[Jipsah]

I've only seen them in England, but they're everywhere there.

 

[Jipsah]

Google it.

Tell me what you think it means.

 

[Jipsah]

Water seeks its own level​

Once again,what do you believe that means?

 

[Jipsah]

He does because he can & he has done this before, first with Eratosthenes & then with Copernicus which he succeeded with.

Rubbish

What people do not realize is that Copernicus only theorized his finding.

And you don't understan what a theory is.

 

[Jipsah]

Yes gravity is a theory

Still sticks you to the ground, doesn't it?

, when it comes to gravity it's better to look at the density of an item when it either falls or rises

Why is that, do you suppose?

, but the earth together with the moon orbiting the sun is an all out lie, I can't & I wont ever believe this nonsense.

That's a shame.

 

[Jipsah]

Because the Bible tells me so.

Chpter and verse on that if you'd be so kind.
