It's NOT a video. It's a gif. Are you not familiar with gifs? :confused:

And as most people on CC know, I look for any ol' opportunity to post silly gif's about silly subjects.

And by the way, I do take the time to understand... spiritual truth, that is. The things of this world are passing away, so why waste time worrying about it and trying to get other people focused on the cares of the world instead of Jesus Christ? To make a religion out of "flat earth beliefs" is about as stupid as they come.

I don't care if the earth is a prism sitting on a pillar made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. God is still Lord of all and tells me not to worry about anything... including world conspiracies. :p
I don't care if it's a blanket, it misrepresents people. Why are you wasting time here then?

The Bible tells us many things of this world and maybe there is a reason that we should look into things like this. Maybe if we are of "The Big Bang" and "heliocentric/globe theory" then Atheists aren't so far fetched. BUT if the Bible is correct like
Jos 10 13And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. [FONT=Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]There is no doubt we are of The Creator and "scientist" in general have it wrong.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]One could argue the "perception on earth" but as for me, there are too many passages in the Bible to consider regarding this topic to just ignore.

Offense was not intended toward you, I wish you understand. But when you willing make light in a misrepresented fashion, it does more damage than good. Especially to the uniformed.

It was brought to my attention that there are people on CC who think the world is flat. I'm not picking on anyone who does, I'm just trying to understand how you came to that conclusion. Please tell me.
I think that the flat earth'ers came to their conclusions,

So that they can have something to argue about.

They only thing, that they can prove, is that,

You can argue about anything.

---

They are confusers,

Intentionally confusing peoples minds.

Is that the Spirit of Jesus? Confusion?

Or is Jesus truth?

We worship God in spirit and in truth.

Do they love Jesus, the truth?

Or do they delight in confusing the matter?

Which spirit is it that says that the earth is flat?

Truth or confusion?

I was outside in the garden one night and this light travelled across the sky.
It turned out to be the International Space Station.

There is a website which shows you when it is passing over you part of the
world. Now the whole flight plan only works because it is an unstable orbit
which slowly progresses over the whole of earth, going round the world
every 1.5 hrs of so with 30 miles over one way each revolution.

This is only possible and spending billions of $'s if the world is round.
You can look out the window of the ISS and see the round world.

Funny how things are so simple, using modern technology.

The Bible speaks so much on this topic, maybe for good reason.
If the heliocentric/globe "BIG BANG" is correct then maybe Athiest are not so far fetched. BUT if the Bible is correct like
Jos 10 13And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
Then there is no doubt of The Creator. There are too many passages in the Bible to just ignore.

Offense was not intended toward you, I wish you understand. When you make light WHILE misrepresenting something that sincere people are looking into you do more harm than good. Especially toward the uninformed.

Thank you for your assuming and stereotyping.

I will continue to read the Word of God and "21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."

Whosoever seeks to save his life will lose it; and whosoever loses his life will preserve it.

Misrepresents people?!? What about misrepresenting Jesus Christ?? Since when did Jesus tell his followers to go about alerting the world that they're being conspired against by the government?

No, he said tell the good news that they are set free in Him. You're trying to save your life that's already saved in Jesus. You're losing day after day of your own life wasting it on bizarre theories and you're trying to take people along with you.

All you're doing is panicking and causing a commotion about being schemed against, as if God isn't in control of all things. You're imprisoned in a ridiculous scheme of your own intellectual mind's making. None of what you're promoting is the good news of Jesus. It's all anxiety and cares of this life. How are you even free in Christ? How are you representing Jesus Christ to the world?

Yeah, we just have to apply good ol' common sense to things like this.

But, seriously, I think it comes from the very prevalent thinking of taking all of the Bible literally. To some minds when the Bible uses the expression, "the four corners of the Earth", they are forced by their one-dimensional, limited ability to think, to have to believe there are four literal "corners" to our Earth.

They must not realize that the "four corners" are referring to North, South, East and West.. lol

Did you even read my post to you? (after the first line)

So many assumptions you have made about my time and my relationship with God.

It would be GOOD NEWS to Atheists!!!

The earth is a sphere. Well, not a true sphere but close enough to one.

Isaiah 40-22 circle sphere - creation.com
Just in case the verses were too small in the image.

Isa 22 18He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.

Isa 40 22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Yes, I read your post. Thanks. Which side of the coin are you on? The article I linked to is rather short and it's an easy read and it's biblically-sound.

I'm on "truths" side, and it seems to be leaning to a geocentric non globe theory, I say "theory" because the heliocentric universe is also a theory, so is the theory of gravity (vs density and buoyancy).

Where do all of you Flat-Earthers come from? The flat earth belief began with the ancient pagans and was only recently 'rediscovered' by a small cult of atheists (maybe FE believers) and some others who wished to make fun of Christianity. But now it seems Flat-Earthers have really made a name for itself by recruiting more and more and more Christians to their pagan cause. Not cool.

NASA has shown us images of spheres but now they are saying it might be oblate, but wait maybe it's a pear shape!

Not joking, according to them the sphere images you see are lies.

Do just a little research and you'll find enough info to make you question the "truth" that this world (who by the way is governed by satan to deceive the whole world, people tend to forget this, somehow) has presented to us since we were babies. GETEM' WHILE THEY"RE YOUNG!

SANTA - SATAN LIE
Jesus born on the same day as other pagan gods LIE (please show me where we are told His birthday)
YES CHRISTMAS IS A PAGAN HOLIDAY (you can read what God says about worshiping your precious tree, just kneel before it to receive your gifts)

HELL - A false doctrine, it means grave, pit. It is NOT the Lake of Fire. It is a FEAR tactic. God does not work through fear.

Lake of Fire - Gods refining fire

Righteous Judgment - kolasis, CORRECTION ,so that God does not lie when He says He is NOT willing that ANY perish, but come to the knowledge of truth. Reconciliation is for ALL not some. Some come to this knowledge in this age, some will be after the Great White Throne. THIS IS THE GOOD NEWS! Praise God. OUR GOD IS THIS GREAT!!!

To understand this we must realize that God works in ages and the "forever" word in your Bible is mistranslated and should read "age".

To be saved in this age is the "elect" and narrow is this gate. This verse says nothing of the age to come so do not take it out of context that many won't ultimately be reconciled to God through the refining of His fire in an age to come AFTER the millennium.

Yes, one is to believe on Jesus to be saved, who does the calling, who gives the gift of faith?
Can a dead man raise himself, no. It is God in His time and His order.

Of course this is all backed by the Word of God in the original text. If anyone cares I would love to go through it with them.
