No reason relating to eternal life salvation.

But God does like to be believed and that would include God's creation accounts given in The Bible.

Yet His creation shows a round earth, a globe.

Since i can not see God's creation, i am going by God's descriptions and accounts in The Bible
You can see through the eyewitness testimony of others.

"But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses."

Since we have many more than three witnesses you have no excuse

Yes, we know that you are willingly blind to the evidence from God's creation.

Congratulations. You can post non-attributed videos that only you magically know what they mean. But, as usual, you give nothing of substance at all with your very strange non-Christian rhetoric.

I am not trying to and have never tried to convince science people to believe anything other than what they believe.

It is just like debating the people (and there are many) who believe it takes more than belief in Jesus to receive God's free gift of Eternal Life. Who reject plain outright verses that clearly state belief in Jesus, gives a person God's free gift of Eternal Life.

So even if God would have stated out right that the earth He created was a flat stationary plain/plane. As exampled in the creation of Adam and Eve which is plainly stated, but yet the person who identifies as a christian. Easily believes the evolution account of man and dismisses the account of God creating Adam and Eve as stated in The Bible.

I post post, because i believed them to be true examples of what i believe about God's creation and that humanity (unbelievers and believers). Are deceiving (or are believing deceptions) people about God's creation.

That may be about a globe earth, outer space or evolution. etc.....

There is ample enough creation descriptions and accounts given in The Bible. To see that The creation God created and described in The Bible is not the same as what science states is in existence.

Just like there are ample enough verses stating belief in Jesus gives people God's free gift of Eternal Life.

Yes that is correct. Which means that one cannot rely on a literal interpretation of the Bible to view the world, otherwise... well... you give such a good example of why.

No that makes truth condition on what is perceived as truth by the times of the ages.

So what was believed as truth 2000 years ago, is not no longer true.

That is the reason Paul wrote what he did, knowing The Tanakh as he did. He knew the truth of God''s creation in Genesis 1. So when he wrote 1st Corinthians 15:40,41 , Paul knew God did not create planets, so there was no need to include them in his comparison written in 1st Corinthians 15.

Science isn't about belief.
It is just like debating the people (and there are many) who believe it takes more than belief in Jesus to receive God's free gift of Eternal Life. Who reject plain outright verses that clearly state belief in Jesus, gives a person God's free gift of Eternal Life.
I don't care what any "verses" say. They are not relevant to the shape of the Earth, only measurement is.
So even if God would have stated out right that the earth He created was a flat stationary plain/plane. As exampled in the creation of Adam and Eve which is plainly stated, but yet the person who identifies as a christian. Easily believes the evolution account of man and dismisses the account of God creating Adam and Eve as stated in The Bible.
The bad geographical understanding of the authors of your favorite book are not relevant to the shape of the Earth.
I post post, because i believed them to be true examples of what i believe about God's creation and that humanity (unbelievers and believers). Are deceiving (or are believing deceptions) people about God's creation.

And that's why you are in the pseudoscience section.

All this shows is that you worship the Bible more than you worship God.

I don't agree with d taylor on things like the shape of the earth, but I must say I don't see anything in the post to which you were replying that gave even a hint that d taylor worships the bible at all, let alone worshipping it more than God.

Then that's on you.

I take the comment:
That is the reason Paul wrote what he did, knowing The Tanakh as he did. He knew the truth of God''s creation in Genesis 1. So when he wrote 1st Corinthians 15:40,41 , Paul knew God did not create planets, so there was no need to include them in his comparison written in 1st Corinthians 15.
To be a pretty explicit that he cares more for what the Bible says than what God's creation shows.
