I like many others believe that the world is flat, there is insurmountable evidence to believe so

It should be easy to prove. Just show us pictures taken at one of the four corners of the earth or have a helicopter fly past the edge and take a video showing the side and bottom of the earth.

You do understand that there is a difference between the physical world and the spiritual world?
The "location" of Hell is near the center of the Earth. Many demons and folks who have had Near Death Experiences have stated exactly that. But you have to be DEAD to find it. You can't drill into Hell. Aside from the fact that the deepest drills have only gone a few miles and it's more than 16 miles just to get to the outer Mantle.

I make a point not to believe anything either demons or people with NDEs have to say.

I like many others believe that the world is flat, there is insurmountable evidence to believe so, but one question I have always asked the marble earth believers is "where would hell be?" I'd be more than happy to explain why the marble earth "theory" is incorrect and how the bible proves it.

That someone would think "where is hell?" is a relevant argument against the round shape of the earth says far more about the flaws of flat earthism than anything else.

For the vast majority of Christians, since the beginning, "Hell" has never been understood as a literal place with a definite location. The question "where is Hell?" is ultimately a meaningless question; Hell isn't a where, it's a what.

I have to confess that when I first encountered this thread the question foremost on my mind began with "What". ;)

I don't understand how/why you could think the earth is flat. There are many high res photos/videos of the earth from space(and that area just below space) clearly indicating it's not flat. Here's one
http://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/46000/46209/earth_pacific_lrg.jpg

Also I think Hell since it's part of the spiritual world can be as large as it needs to be without us in the physical world being aware of its presence. As far as its location, it could be in the center of the earth or anywhere God wants it.

I think hell is more likely another dimension - if it exists - and there's plenty of evidence to say it doesn't - at least not as we think of it as a physical space in a 3d (4d) universe. We have to remember the world view of the people who wrote the bible. They clearly didn't think it was the same as we do now. i suspect that in the future they will have yet another view that will make these conversations seem kinda irrelevant (though fun and interesting of course!)

+1. A flat earth is still round, hence no corners.

Anyway, Scripture is poetry, not a science textbook.

This (as is the case any time the flat earth discussion is brought up) is a lost cause. No matter what clear scientific evidence or experience (like flying around the world, or across Antarctica) is brought up, flat earthers will close their eyes and plug their ears. They simply are not willing to open their minds up to the fact that the Bible need not be read in the way they think it must.

Now as for your question, where would Hell be?

It's most like something akin to a parallel or alternate universe.

The English concept of Hell, a place where the wicked burn forever is not a Biblical teaching. So, the answer to the question would be nowhere.

Actually; I believe that hell is in another dimension, another universe (Ephesians 3:2) and the KJV Bible may support this position.

It is created for the devil and his angels, and those who refuse to accept the provision made for human kind will go with them to what will be justice. There is no ignorance about thisbecause of His faithfulness He makes sure

Hell is a nonphysical place. It needs no physical form at this time because it carries no physical bodies.

As to insurmountable evidence, a five year old could surmount the evidence. I don't care how YOUR INTERPRETATION OF A NON-SCIENTIFIC BOOK interprets things. We've seen how wrong you are. There is no global tin-foil-hat conspiracy. The illuminati aren't conspiring with everyone in the world to keep people from going to Antarctica. My church has a church ON THE ANTARCTIC ISLAND.

There is no coriolis effect on a flat earth. Here's a problem you run into. When making flight plans, anything larger than a trip around the city requires the use of non-euclidean mathematics if you want to actually arrive at your destination. If the earth were flat, then a triangle drawn between Jacksonville, Detroit, and Los Angeles would find its angles equal 180 degrees, because that is a LAW on a flat surface. But their angles do not equal 180 degrees. They equal MORE. And we can calculate the exact shape of the earth using those angles.

Hello, saw your post and just had to answer. Have you ever flown above the earth? You can see the curvature of the earth when flying. Also, I must appeal to your logic by asking how is it possible to fly in one direction and end up where you started if the earth is flat. Anyway, if you can't afford to fly and see this yourself there is another simple way to see the curvature of the earth. At the ocean look out to sea, take a ruler and hold it in front of you on the horizon line (parallel to the horizon line), you will see that the edge of the earth is not flush with the ruler but curving down. Remember, God gave you an imagination to help you with these things. He didn't intend for you to read the bible like a car manual. It's much deeper than that, otherwise it couldn't be used to talk to people across the ages. Imagine if Jesus had used a parable involving cell phones to teach the people of His day. They would have walked away scratching their heads to say the least. Things change, we learn new things and understand new things. Look for the meaning in the texts, that's really where it's at.

There are also some EO churches quite close to the North Pole, probably closer than anyone else.

No curve. I have flown dozens of times and never seen a curve either.

Some people will post vids and pics that use a fisheye lens forcing a curved view.
Why do they do that? Obviously they don't think the earth is flat and so don't care? Or they want to promote the spherical globe curve.

No fish eye lens on this balloon flight and no curve seen.

Are the moon and Sun flat also? The writers of the bible did not write in English and often interpreters misunderstand what others are expressing.

I suggest that you rethink the flat earth idea: if you want to be taken seriously.

Try traveling and going through different time zones and stretch your understanding a little.

I suggest that it is ignorance, like the kind being displayed here, that causes others to dismiss Theism and Theists.

There is no evidence, biblical or scientific that the earth is flat. Cannot believe there are still Christians who believe this trash.

Hell most likely to exist in another dimension and is NOT inside the earth, another crackpot and unbiblical piece of nonsense.
