Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

[Apple Sky]

Nope. You’re falsifying Scripture

How am I ?

 

[Phil G]

King James Bible
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

What don't you get ?

The circle OF the earth. Circle OF. Circle OF. It’s not saying the earth is actually a circle, otherwise it would be a two
dimensional geometric shape, not an actual object.

And God is not literally sitting on anything. He is spirit, not physical.

 

[Phil G]

Nice to know, God literally sits on a literal two dimensional geometric shape. I think that counts as falsifying Scripture.

Give it a rest, as Trump would say 'enough is enough'.

Likewise…..and don’t bring Trump into this….I think that would count as off topic.

This stuff again? Gets old real quick, as we all should know the earth is a spheroid (basically, a globe).

Facepalm.

re: the video showing a crowd of people smacking their foreheads in this post

Q: Do you know why Neanderthals have sloping foreheads and stooped shoulders?
A: When you ask them a question, they shrug, and when you give them the answer, they smack their forehead with their palm.

And God is not literally sitting on anything. He is spirit, not physical.

John 4:24

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.​

From Christ's own mouth, when talking to the Samaritan woman.

The circle of earth is a reference to the ancient Babylonian map of the world. The verse is no supernatural revelation about our planet, its only a cultural reference.

'World' is mentioned in the Bible 248 times.
Earth is mentioned in the Bible 2,500 times.
God is mentioned in the Bible 6824

Why does the shape of the Earth & God go hand in hand ? Because it matters.

Isaiah 40:22 is imagery, as is obvious by the fact that God is spirit and is not literally sitting on anything.

Big deal. And "mentioned" is not at all the same as "teaches."
I'd be surprised if a book about God and by God didn't mention the name "God."

a) So you've contradicted yourself again. Maybe you didn't mean what you wrote a few weeks ago; that "the shape of the earth isn't important any more; what matters is being right with God."
b) In what way does it "matter"? It's not important for salvation, it can't stop people from being born again or filled with the Spirit. It's not taught anywhere in the NT. No one ever said "believe in the Lord Jesus Christ - and the shape of the earth. Jesus never said, "go into all the world and preach the shape of the earth". There is no evidence that non-Christians will believe in God if they believe in a flat earth. Convincing people that the earth is a flat, 40,000-foot-deep circle will not save them from sin, or make them children of God.

Nope; not important at all.
You are going to be in heaven with globe earth believers - whether you like it or not. There is no shame in heaven, but one day you will realise how much time you spent arguing about an unimportant matter - as well as having to answer for the fact that you called people liars and deluded freemasons. That conversation will be between you and God alone; you won't be able to blame us, not quote Dean Odel or YouTube to back you up.

So no facts then, just a meme in an attempt to ridicule.

In fact preaching the flat earth ridicules Christianity and turns people off even if they were attracted to Christ initially. Who wants to be part of some nutcase group that believes something contrary to actual reality?

 

[Strong in Him]

I know what it says;

it is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth,

Is that it?

You mock Globe Earth believers for only having ONE verse to back up their beliefs - and you have only ONE verse to back up your beliefs?
You have interpreted that ONE verse literally, and because of that;
- all photographs of a globe earth are fake
- NASA are all liars
- the astronauts, and all eyewitnesses, are deluded freemasons/good actors
- anyone who wrote a book about the moon landings is also a liar.

So many slanderous, unchristian accusations; all because of the way you have interpreted ONE verse.

The stupid is strong with this one.
The Earth is slowly rotating at 15 degrees per hour. The atmosphere is rotating with it.

Which some are, as God will know this, it is they who need to repent before it's too late, maybe some of them have but we are not going to know this unless they do it publicly, which they should being as they are spreading their fairy tales to the masses.

More false accusations.
There is only one person spreading fairy tales here.
