  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I think that one was proven to be fake. I remember something about some sound analysis done which showed it to be a recording from a horror movie or such.
I didn’t know it was from a movie, but I found it interesting. Somebody had a great imagination.

Because it is a spiritual place, not a physical place.

"Hades" first appears around 1600, as a transliteration of the Greek word "ᾅδης" in the line in the Apostles' Creed, "He descended into hell", the place of waiting (the place of "the spirits in prison" 1 Peter 3:19) into which Jesus is there affirmed to have gone after the Crucifixion.

But the verses state under the earth, not under the surface of the earth.
You have to distinguish between earth, i.e. the ground we walk on, and the planet Earth. There is no "under" the planet Earth. There is magma below the earth.

The way it is reading in The Bible is that this is a different place than God's creation earth. The way you are stating it, it is part of the earth and it is just below the earth's surface.

in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

There is also underground systems & deep coves & caverns and what about Mel's hole ?

Since none of you have given a response, I can assume that you have no means of explaining how flights between Sydney and Santiago take roughly the same time as flights between Sydney and Los Angeles.

By your silence we must assume you agree these regular flights are impossible on a flat earth, therefore by implication you must also agree that the earth cannot possibly be flat.

I notice you’ve posed this question numerous times. I also notice that not once has any flat earther explained it in terms of how it could be if the earth is flat.

That means it’s a question they just ignore, because the answer is the earth is a globe. It’s the only way it can work, End of.

Yes, it takes a special kind of stubbornness and pride for them to refuse to even entertain the possibility that they are wrong, but I live in hope that they can one day humble themselves.

Only cocky attituded scientist (and their followers) think they know all about God's created earth.

The ones who believe The Bible's creation account know they are like Job. Who was humbled at God's creation, knowing they only know in part. What God through The Bible has reveled to humanity to know at this point in time.

We do not need to know all the answers, but what has been stated in The Bible. Is quite sufficient enough to know science is lying about God's creation.

Say, you know, magma can be considered a lake of fire. It'll cook ya dead if you even get close to it.

Just found these comment on line.

My question to any globe zealot is..
if the horizon is the furthest part of the sky our eyeballs can see the tangent line supposedly the earth curvature how come we never ever see a plane go below the horizon following the curvature of earth


Robert Allen Lick
People fail to mention Alexander Gleason was a FLAT EARTHER!
Don’t believe me? Look up his book “is earth a globe”
It came out BEFORE his map did. You can say it’s a globe projection all you want but a flat earther made the map…

So, your continued silence on these regular flights confirms the flat earth model cannot possibly be true.

We can, you just need to use a telescope because at the distance they disappear over the horizon, they appear too small for us to see them unaided.

This gets filed under the "tell someone who cares" category.

It does follow. If it didn't then you would be able to explain how it works on a flat earth.

It would make perfect sense if they flew over Antartica but for some reason they don't & they have to make a stop.
I've tried to book a direct flight & I can't find one.
