Showing your ignorance. They have to set up to align with the north south polar axis of the rotating globe earth in order to follow a star. Ask any amateur astronomer who uses one. They’ll let you know.-I filmed that with a camera and all one of those mounts do is, move the telescope so it follows the path of the star.
One of your most foolish statements yet. Even I have trawled through your links even if I see them as wrong and they test my patience & sanity.I don't bother investigating lies, the earth doesn't rotate & the earth doesn't orbit the sun, the only thing that rotates is the firmament along with the moon, sun & the stars.
What do you think the earth is, a merry go round
No, a cult is a group, belief system or way of life that centres, mostly, around one person who is pushing a particular product, or ideology.
So a pop, film or sports star who advocates veganism, alternative medicine or anything else can have a cult following. Like Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop or celebrities who swear by anti-ageing products, for example.
In religious cults, people become convinced that they, alone, have the truth and that anyone who says otherwise is dangerous and trying to disrupt the group's belief or way of life.
Christianity started as a Jewish cult. Jews knew they were God's chosen people and were awaiting their Messiah, then suddenly Jesus of Nazareth comes along, heals people, criticises the religious establishment and people follow him and say that he is the Messiah. After his death, his followers even start saying that he is alive again - and that those who believe in him can become God's children. Jews used to persecute us for being a cult.
Christian cults are those who claim they follow the Bible and Christian faith but don't because their own leader has told them otherwise. So "Rev" Moon claimed that he had met Jesus who told him the Moon had to become the 2nd Messiah because Jesus had failed in his mission. Is that true?
No, because the Bible says otherwise.
JWs, Mormons etc. do not believe in the Trinity because their leaders tell them it's false. IS it false; no, the Bible teaches it.
Several cults have actually been found guilty of brainwashing - e.g. JWs have been known to let their members have as little sleep as possible, cut them off from their families and friends and bombard them with teachings by their leader. Why? So the members will be unable to think and question for themselves and will not be in contact with people who present an alternative argument to the group.
Flat earth teachers are just as capable of having a cult following, and indeed presenting cultish behaviour, as anybody else.
The Bible does not teach this kind of controlling, coercive behaviour.
Correct.the truth does not fear investigation.
That's a lie for a start.but you and others seem to.
I was answering your statement that the Bible is used to define what a cult is and also giving examples of cultish behaviour.-Why would i need to address a secular cult on a christian website. The type of cult i was addressing is of the religious type.

As ever, instead of addressing the fact that you are ignorant of how an equatorial mount is designed to operate, you try to deflect and make it about a deception of satan.-Well we will eventually see who is ignorant and who is being deceived. As truth is coming and satan's and his rule is moving each day, closer to its end. But first hard times and more deceptions will come.

Meaning what?
A whole hotchpotch of nonsense in that post.-Sciences creation (actually evolution) version is.
Here is a person Phil G who pluck's Adam out of God's creation in Genesis and places Adam on a globe earth. so you reject science's evolution, but yet turn around and accept the same science's globe earth, what a contradiction.
Then to try and explain it away by saying a globe earth is observed. What do you think scientist say about evolution, it is observed, but one observation is accepted and one observation is rejected.
Meaning what?
What is not funny is you slandering scientists and accusing all of being liars - with no evidence at all.The Moon landings are a joke a funny one at that
But of course you don’t investigate…..so how do you know?
That is not investigating. A poll is very subjective & it is only based on a sample pool of people’s opinions.During a survey in the US, the respondents were asked whether they think the moon landing in 1969 was faked, or not.

If they were asked if they think the moon landings were faked, and 61% strongly disbelieve that, then 61% of people think the moon landings were genuine.During a survey in the US, the respondents were asked whether they think the moon landing in 1969 was faked, or not.

You believe a poll which, you think, tells you that most people don't believe in the moon landings, but photos from eyewitnesses are faked and the witnesses liars.
So much for research.
That’s still not investigating. In order to investigate you have to be open to the possibility of being wrong. Then look at the arguments for & against. And then have some rational points to make to show you have a basic grasp of realities.OK check Bill Kaysing out
