  • 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

He's dead. You are ignorant. Rob Skiba, if ever once you listened to him, always said, "Don't take my word for any of this, study it yourself."
And yet the ignorant ones are the ones that listened to him and now believe in a flat earth, a geocentric model, and that the lunar landings never happened when all of these are nothing but nonsense. Non of these lies edify God or His creation.

So how do the direct flights between Sydney and Santiago work on your flat earth? The distance is much greater than Sydney to Los Angeles on your model, yet the flight times are shorter. It matches perfectly with the globe model but is impossible on what you claim for reality, so how does it work?

Again, not by God it hasn't.

King James Bible
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
And I am sure we all agree with what that verse says, but it doesn't mention the earth, let alone say that it is in the centre of all that God created.

@Paul4JC perhaps you can explain how this works on your flat earth.
In mid December in Punta Arenas of Southern Chile, the sun rises just after 5am, and sets just after 10pm, giving them just under 17 hours of direct sunlight. It never gets completely dark at night, such that the stars are barely visible.
At present, dawn is around 5:30am and dusk is at 10:09, giving residents at Punta Arenas 16.5 hours of direct sunlight.

According to your flat earth model, at sunrise and sunset the sun is more than 15000 miles away on the other side of the North Pole, more than double the distance your model claims the Sun ceases to be visible.
If the earth is flat with the sun following a circular path as is claimed by you and others then this should not be possible, and yet it happens like this every Summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
Please explain?

I'm happy for @Apple Sky ,@contratodo ,@d taylor or any other flat earthers to explain, but seeing as they have all run away and are in hiding from having to respond to flights between Sydney and Santiago, I don't expect to hear from them. None of them seem willing to accept what is true and just want to pretend it doesn't exist.

He created an unmovable earth.
Where does Scripture say that the earth is unmovable in the sense of motionless? As several of us have mentioned to you many times, the bible say that the earth shall not be moved. The words "not be moved" don't mean "motionless." If they did, what did David mean in Psalm 62:

“He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved.” (Ps 62:6 NKJV)

Certainly he did not remain motionless for the rest of his life after writing those words. Similarly, when Jeremiah prophesied to Israel:

““If you will return, O Israel,” says the LORD, “Return to Me; And if you will put away your abominations out of My sight, Then you shall not be moved.” (Jer 4:1 NKJV)

he surely didn't mean that if they returned to the Lord they would be motionless. So why do you twist "not be moved" to mean "motionless" when it refers to the earth? The word "unmovable" occurs just twice in the KJV:

Ac 27:41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

1Co 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Neither of those verses is about the earth.

Deflect when you did not know how to answer @Paul4JC.

What are you talking about? I gave him a clear answer to his question. He, on the other hand, actually did deflect, and has not yet answered my question. You honestly seem to live in a fantasy world.

@Apple Sky , in order to answer someone, assumes they have asked a question. No question was asked in post #460, he merely made a statement. I replied to his post simply to remind him of the question I had asked him back on Tuesday which he still hasn't answered. He tried to deflect by asking a question in post #372 yesterday, as if to imply that the direct flights didn't really exist, even while confirming they did. Why didn't you comment on his deflection?

Philippians 4:8 –“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

Flat earth people do not follow the verse above. They see lies and deceit where it is not. They call good Christian men and women liars. They are so busy looking at evil that they see it everywhere and feel superior to those much greater and better than them, like Copernicus and Newton. They narrow their perspective to such a point that they can’t see truth while hiding behind what they think is God’s teaching, while they are actually following deception. They diminish the glory of God.

Globalists would do well to remember this verse.

But for the umpteenth tie, the bible does not teach the shape of the earth. That shape, whether a flat disc, a globe, a pyramid or whatever, cannot be one of the things Paul is referring to in Philippians 4:8.

In other words they are debunking what God has created.
No. They are debunking your incorrect interpretation. What God created is absolute and perfect.
