But he doesn’t practise it. Job 38:14 is a verse where it is easy to see what it’s saying, yet he keeps pushing his own wrong teaching.

One wrong verse, why do you keep harping on about it ?

Because it’s something he is doing which is against Scripture. There is an extra burden of responsibility on teachers to get it right. This verse is very easy to get in context, yet he refuses to read it in context. That places him at odds with the Lord.

It’s not just about one verse, it’s about his refusal to recognise his responsibility before God to make sure he gets it right and not mislead people.

He also bears some responsibility for you posting this verse numerous times & repeating his erroneous teaching.

I don's care, do you know how ridiculous this all sounds ?
Therein lies the argument many atheists have with the Scriptures.
Jesus walked on water? Ridiculous.
Jesus fed 5000 with a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish? Ridiculous.
Jesus wrought salvation for all by dying on a cross? Ridiculous
Jesus rose from the dead? Ridiculous

So I was right; if Dean Odel had told you that the earth was a globe, you would have abandoned your cherished belief - because he told you so.
When we say that people can visit Antarctica, you say it's not possible because of the military presence; if Dean had gone to Antarctica, you would have been excited and followed his progress.
When we tell you about something that shows the earth is a globe, you're not interested and doubt, or deny, it; if Dean had told you the same thing, you'd believe him.

A number of people - your fellow Christians - on these forums have been trying to explain a globe earth to you and tell you how you can test it for yourself. You don't believe us and/or aren't interested.
One word from Dean Odell and you're prepared to give up your beliefs.
That's why I talked about blind faith; whatever he says, you accept.

Not really, I've seen the list of the flat earthers who are going & I must say I wasn't all that impressed.



What ever Dean had said I would have believed.

Why believe what any man says over The Bible.

Are you not able to seperate yourself from your arguments? No wonder you take these discussions so personally. You take pointing out the deficiencies of your arguments as an attack on yourself.

I don't think I'm that bad :tearsofjoy:
Not quite…no. But seriously though, don’t dismiss what people have been trying to explain to you with “I don’t care”. We are not out to get you but to show you we are Christians who care about the truth and investigate what we are told. I don’t think there is one person who has engaged with you who is acting in bad faith or is deluded.

Archaeologists unlock 3,000-year-old secrets about creation of universe and monsters after deciphering oldest known map of the world​


a old map.JPG



'The double ring is very important because it has cuneiform writing in it which says 'bitter river' and this water was deemed to surround the known world,' British Museum expert Dr Irving Finkel said in a YouTube video.

Was this the ring wall of ice of Antarctica that we have today ?

No, because there is no ring wall of ice of Antarctica. Start living in reality instead of fantasy.
It's clear she didn't even read the article she linked.

Why my reality is better & safer :tearsofjoy:

1. I don't feel threatened by astride's
2 I don't have to worry about the earth ever stopping.
3 I don't have to worry about space debris falling from space.
4. I don't need a degree in how the universe works.
5. I don't need to believe that that man landed on the moon.

The only thing I need to think about is 'do I have pancakes or corn flakes for breakfast :sigh:

I don't 'need' any of those things either. My security is in the Lord. But it doesn't change reality. You understand nothing of science and maths, so you can't debate on that level. You can stay in your bubble but it doesn't change reality either. Your 'reality' is not reality.
