  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Do you ever look at the moon nestled in the clouds and think 'Those clouds are 250,000 miles away?'
Do you really think that the moon is nestled in the clouds ?

How do jetliners avoid seeing it ... or colliding with it ... when they are traveling through the clouds ... or over the clouds ?

Rev. 7:1 four corners of the earth. How can a globe have corners, or do you deny the holy word of God.

Clearly the moon is directly over the plane.

Joshua 10 is not a figure of speech, he, Joshua commanded the sun (and moon) to stop moving. the Bible states that the sun stopped and the moon.
But the speech in the Bible is colloquial, ... not scientific. The Bible speaks in the way the authors thought and spoke ...

The "four corners of the earth" ... is a figure of speech, ... one which we still use today ...

Do you think anyone who's been on a flight into space will ever blow their cover and announce that this world is really flat?

There was a video a while back a astronaut from one of the European countries said the earth was flat.

The video was posted on one of these flat earth threads by a person who i have not seen around here in a while

That has nothing to with the earth being flat ... it's about the earth having "corners" ... which it wouldn't have, if the earth is a circle, as Isaiah 40:22 says ...

So, if you please, ... where are these corners ???

To me the flat earth verses just as easily apply to global earth.
