Yes - But not with a bunch of lying scam artists.
You see here an example of your accusations. Two of the people on this trip are Christians - Will Duffy, who says the earth is a globe, and Lisbeth Acosta, who says the earth is flat.

Neither of them can be accused of lying because both went and saw the same 24 hour sun in Antarctica. And neither of them called the other a liar. Lisbeth Acosta now needs to rethink her belief as the 24 hour sun does not fit with a flat earth.

Dean Odle has been caught lying. You won’t accept that but it doesn’t change the fact that he has.

Your only reason for calling the TFE people liars is because you don’t want to believe them. You have nothing else. Such an accusation is unwarranted and wrong.

Your interpretation of Scripture is just that -an interpretation. And the reason people such as me don’t agree with your interpretation is because it does not match reality. If you insist on your interpretation being correct, then you bring the Bible into disrepute.

And yes, scientific discoveries do get closer and closer to God’s word all the time. But the problem for you is that the globe earth is more confirmed with every move.

I agree, I should not call all non f/es liars just b/c they don't agree with me, I will however curb this.
I am truly sorry for changing my mind over the shape of the earth & didn't mean to mislead anyone.
Time will tell on this.


but in the end it all came down to the word of God & what is written in the Bible there's just noway of getting away from God's truth.
That is all down to your own interpretation of what is written. And in order to understand what is written you need to do proper Bible study, not just reading it without study or blindly swallowing what Dean Odle says is written.

This is not all down to my own interpretation, I do know how the same words can have different meanings & I do know how to look up strong's or lexicon as this is what Dean does & he always proves this within his sermons. So no, I do not blindly swallow what Dean says or any Pastor for that matter.

MC Toon is also a Christian, I believe. I don't know about Dave McKeegan, except that his patience with flat earthers puts this particular Christian to shame.

I forgot the part where you know Will is lying his lips move ^_^
That makes no difference. How do you know he is lying when his lips move? That is saying that everything that he says is a lie. How do you know that? You don't know everything he says. It seems as if you call everybody a liar who doesn't agree with you on the shape of the earth.

The deceptiveness of NASA & the globe, God forewarned of this in so many ways.
Rubbish.
There were billions of problems in the world before NASA was even heard of.
How many ways are there ?
Well for a start there's the "every word of my English Bible is perfect, accurate and never to be questioned", approach.
There there's the, "everything written in the Bible has to be practised by us today" approach - even though it was written in a different language, culture and we don't have synagogues, keep the Jewish law, wear robes and sandals etc.
There are also people who believe that the KJV alone is perfect - ignoring recent scholarship and discoveries like the dead sea scrolls. If there is a difference between a recent Bible and the KJV it will always be the recent bible which is at fault.
There are also people who believe that looking at the original languages of the Bible, considering the context of the words, the type of writing, the author's motive for writing and the situations going on at the time is just trying to "explain a passage away", or "get out of believing it." Sometimes these people, when they hear others talking about study, the original languages etc will accuse those people of not believing the Bible.
I know I'm quite partial to a wee dram myself (hiccup) ^_^
Well why are you "glad to hear" that I don't drink, when there is nothing wrong with it and you do it yourself?

Yep - MC Toon another Christian that is always giving Dean a hard time,
MC Toon went in person to see the debate between Odle and Locke. He personally got in touch with Pastor Dean to inform him of his error regarding the 'flatness' of the playing field. Pastor Dean basically told him off for questioning an elder and refused to back down from his false claims. That's the only reason MC Toon went public, because Pastor Dean believed that he was above reproach. All he had to do was make a statement that he was mistaken about the playing field and remove that part of the video. The unedited video is still up on his website and he has made no apology.
it never ceases to amaze me how many of these Christians really do squabble.
Have you not looked in the mirror lately?

So it's OK for you to say what you like about other pastors but not ok for others to say anything about your beloved Pastor Dean. You know what that makes you, don't you?

So it's OK for you say that pastor Dean is lying but not OK for others to say that Pastor Duffy is lying.

Pot kettle comes to mind.

Have you, you've contradicted everything I ever said on these f/e threads except when I changed my mind over the the shape of the earth.
So look on at your own reflection first.

Yes it is. Because he has been caught lying. Will Duffy has not. The only accusations against him lying are coming from the likes of you who do so merely because he doesn’t agree with you.

I was glad to hear that you weren't drinking when you typed what you did.

I am truly sorry for changing my mind over the shape of the earth
You don't get it. The shape of the earth is not important - believe it is a different shape every week if you like; who cares? It will not save you, condemn you nor make you a better Christian.
What you changed your mind about was asking for God's help in dealing with any doubts or being tempted to believe again that the earth is flat.
You SAID, "flat earth is a load of nonsense ........ I know it will be hard to accept this and I will struggle, but with God's help I will get there."
Then a few weeks later you see a FE video on YouTube, and instead of asking God to give you the strength not to watch it (as you had claimed you would), you said "ooh good, God is guiding me - hey everybody I'm back on track."

That's the sad bit.
Jesus said "my sheep listen to my voice", John 10:27. He said that the Holy Spirit guides us and leads us into truth, John 16:13.
Christians have been listening to God and receiving the guidance of his Spirit for centuries. You come along and say "God is guiding me through YouTube" - a secular, man-made invention.
but in the end it all came down to the word of God
Do you really think that you're the only person here who reads the Bible and cares about God's word?
there's just noway of getting away from God's truth. I do hope you all can understand. :praying:
As if any of us want to "get away from God's truth"!
We understand that you believe that your interpretation of the Bible is correct.
What YOU don't understand, is how to read the Bible and the purpose for which the Bible was written. And that the shape of the earth will not make you a better, holier, more informed Christian.

You are besotted with Odle. That much always comes across in your posts. Nothing he says is ever wrong according to you. It’s as if you have a schoolgirl crush on him!

It was recently pointed out to you how Dean Odel had been lying. You even replied "is that all you've got?" followed by an eye-roll emoji.

You have not shown HOW Will Duffy is lying - except that he must be because he disagrees with the god-like Dean Odel.

Well Dean doesn't think he was lying & neither do I.



Well that's not what the video I posted said.


And Russion vids.
Oh get real!! So Odle says he’s not lying and you believe him!

And a video you posted said that Will Duffy is lying, so you believe it.

And Russian vids says he’s lying so it must be true according to you!

There’s your nonsense exposed for all to see!
