Why People Believe The Earth is Flat

[Larniavc]

' Wow I never realized this '.

Really? They all to a man now believe as you do?

They hummed & harred until I showed them the Bible.

Should you not learn about the Bible first, before you act like a Bible teacher?

And I mean learning facts about the Bible, history, textual criticism, original languages and culture, translation theory... not watching videos of some weirdos.

I'm not teaching the Bible I just point out a few passages like Dean Odle does, that most would understand.

Depends on how you point it out. If just factually, that Bible refers to the flat earth cosmology common in the times of Babylon, then it is one thing.

If you try to poison them to believe that the earth is really flat, just because Bible refers to it, then it is another thing.

King James Bible
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

NASA ISS "ZERO GRAVITY" - OKAY THEN!

This is yet another video with a major NASA "International Space Station" blooper that I found online. I removed the stupid TikTok soundtrack music from the clip, quadrupled the length of the blooper

You are embarrassing yourself again. Those words may look similar, but are not.

Apollyon is from the word apollymi, which means "to destroy".

Apollon or Apollo is from an uncertain root word, but it probably meant something like "the father of light" or was somehow related to strength.

English words loan or loaf can look similar too, but are not. I think you should be able to understand the concept and stop posting such nonsense.

Where do you think NASA got the name from ?

The Apollo program, NASA's ambitious human spaceflight program, was named after the Greek god Apollo, a choice made by NASA manager Abe Silverstein who believed the name embodied the program's spirit and scale.

Yeah, to get to the Moon was a spirit and a scale which would ancient people consider god-like.

So where are the scorpions with stings in their tails that hurt men for 5 months?

Noooooo no no no no, questions are not allowed. You must simply just associate the similarities of both names and uncritically believe they belong together.

Apollyon is not Apollo.
You think a rocket - a man-made rocket of metal and steel - is the angel over the abyss?

I'm on about the name not the rocket

No, you linked that quote from Revelation with a picture of an Apollo rocket.
If there was no connection, there was no reason for doing that.

Try explaining, and don't be rude.

Though as you still haven't answered my previous questions, I won't hold my breath.

I posted those images to show how NASA likes to use names from Greek gods & it wouldn't surprise me if they took the name Apollo from the name Apollyon in the book of Revelation 9:11.

The word Nasa means to decive, such a coincidence that they are called NASA, don't you think.

Yes, here we go again and you still understand nothing. Jesus's words are not Genesis, but the words in Gospels. And even these are not preserved perfectly (as already proven), so Jesus is not talking about any Bible or about a written form as such, but about the fulfillment of his words.

Trophy makes statements to this effect time and time again and yet @David Lamb & @Strong in Him you always side with him over and against Apple. He even says that the Bible is filled with errors and contradictions. How is it that y’all don’t see this as the bigger problem? You guys say that you don’t have time to watch Apple’s videos and to give a thorough reply and yet you have time to go days on end like it’s a ping pong match. Also, I don’t know what it is about your obsession to always bring it back to Christian astronauts. Sure is it a good argument, yes, but at this point it's like beating a dead horse. You guys act like gatekeepers like it's your job to make sure nobody accepts any of Apple's treacherous teaching. How many people actually believe as Apple does? Not that much. It’s not this huge threat to the church like some of you make it out to be. It’s nauseating to keep up with this thread. You guys even had a ripe opportunity to challenge Apple on one her videos she shared but you didn’t. But at this point, why don't I see either of you challenge Trophy on some of his claims? Do you agree with him that the Bible is filled with errors and contradictions? We are not talking about copyist errors but errors within the words themselves.

Not only would it not surprise you, you have been saying that that's exactly what they HAVE done. I think you WANT them to have done that.

No.
And I'm sorry but we've been over this before in another thread. Either you do have a problem with your memory or you really are an internet troll. In other words, someone who deliberately and knowingly posts the same things over and over again, even though they know that their arguments have been refuted or don't make sense; someone who isn't interested in debate and reasoned discussion but just wants to waste forum space by promoting their own beliefs.

Let's try one more time; try to understand.
NASA is an acronym - technically it's N.A.S.A. and stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. If they'd decided to use the "A" in "and" it would be N.A.A.S.A, which would kill a load of conspiracy theories. If they'd decided to call themselves American Aeronautics and Space Administration it would be AASA.
This has nothing to do with ancient Hebrew.
Thousands of people work for NASA, some - maybe many - are Christians. But in any case, science is a matter of knowledge, not belief - that's what the word "Science" means. You seem to be claiming that thousands of scientists said "we want to reject all our knowledge and training and deceive people. We can't call ourselves "the deceivers", people will realise. So let's look up the word "deceive" in many languages and choose one. Hebrew? That will do; we can then pretend it is an acronym".

Get real. They don't care about convoluted stuff like that - and you have no evidence to prove otherwise.
It's just another silly word game to add fuel to the Conspiracy Theories fire. Do me a favour - burn all your theories.
