Yeah, that's an old standby in eschatological discussions. It can be flung at any and all ideas that one happens to disagree with. Kinda like the people who hold with unscriptural, illogical, unsupportable, nonsensical "end times" notions throwing "there shall come in the last days scoffers" at anyone who quite properly thinks their doctrines are stupid.
I agree with that , but let's not be ignorant of it . We don't know which delusion will be strong but there will be one and there will be people accepting such delusion to fulfill the prophecy .
Likewise the phariasies must felt when Jesus was alive among them , they did not believe that they were the generation when Messiah came .
For me the globe , space mixed with extraterrestrial is the strong delusion and will be used in one way or another . Is it big enought for being called strong delusion ? Well most of the world alredy believes it so I think it is good candidate .
or someone's lame interpretation of some Scriptures that didn't have anything to do with the subject in the first place, then yeah, I go with the empirical data.
But you don't explain Scriptures with Scriptures , rather put science inside of Bible and try to make it work it does not , one has to decide what he believes .
I agree the science which helps us incrased rapidly as we were told , even the Scriptural knowledge.
Daniel 12:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Thing is none of this Heliocentric theories were ever proven to begin with and the ability to have the curvature disproven in this age is astonishing , not only with drones or good cameras but with lasers and tests on both frozen and not frozen lakes . Can't really argue against math .
