I'd rather not. They've all been refuted here ad nauseum. Just do a search.
That's too bad, I have researched (The Word) for the last couple decades and have Biblical reference for ALL I've stated.
Not mans thoughts, Gods Word. Your loss (of learning truth or helping one find truth).

Your video is full of assumptions and if you took time to understand (not necessarily agree) true investigations of "flat earthers" you would see how stupid that presentation video is EVEN if flat earth is wrong.[/QUO

Don't be rude, it's not necessary. I asked a question I would like to know why flat earth believers think the earth is flat. I am serious when I ask. I was not saying all people who question if the earth is round are mentally ill, I'm saying when people become obsessed with several different conspiracy theories it seems like it might be a mental illness.

My Aunts neighbor who I discussed in a post focuses 24/7 of his life searching for how the government is watching him and his family. You know what? They probably are. He hasn't paid the IRS taxes in many years, all of the money he earns is under the table. You can't get away with that forever. He has put his family in a very bad position.
Actually, you really can get away with it. How is the IRS going to find out something is up?

Genesis 1:2... "The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters"... exactly how it was formless doesn't make a lot of sense to our minds but God laid out the dimensions of the Universe and the Earth.
Gen 1:1 Pre-Adamic age

Gen 1:2 (The fall of lucifer and his angels caused this)
+As for the earth, it came to be a chaos and vacant, and darkness was over the surface of the abyss. And the spirit of Elohim was vibrating over the surface of the waters.

Maybe you are referring to me?

This is NOT my own pic. but an example.



North is the center, South is toward the Antarctic (funny how a treaty keeps any OUT of here) ALL around (the Bible even talks about how the waters are held in)

Fly or sail on one of the "rings" going West (clockwise).
No, it wasn't you. So according to that map, it'd take x10 the time to travel and chart the Antarctic than if it were a globe, correct?

Antarctic is a cruise destination now, so apparently no one is keeping anyone, but poor people who can't afford a cruise, OUT.

Sooooo, since you get all your info strictly from "The Word", which Bible do you use? Because I've never seen the version that includes subtitles like yours for Gen. 1:1 or 1:2. Nor can I pick out which version that is for your whole Gen. 1:2.

Guided Tours, Yes! Try going on your own. Look up the treaty held by over a dozen countries. It is still upheld.

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.
So? Are you sorry you asked yet?

Those are not "subtitles", go to the original inspired Hebrew/Greek. Your English is just a translation, not original.

Sure, who has circumnavigated the antarctic? Look up the treaty.

There's no biblical support for that nonsense. God created the earth. It originally had no form and no inhabitants. He gave it form and then later filled it with fauna, flora and people. It's not that difficult.

Is the NIV better for you?
Genesis 1:2 (NIV)
Now the earth was (hayah, meaning became) formless (tohuw), and empty (bohuw), darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

tohuw occurs 20 times in the Old Testament with meanings of chaotic, nothing, confusion, waste, wilderness, emptiness, formless and vain
bohuw occurs 3 times in the Old Testament with meanings of void and waste

Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2 have a gap of time. How do you think satan (not lucifer because he was already cast to earth in his fallen state) was already in the Garden of Eden ready to tempt?

Geology of Earth proves an old Earth not young Earth, and the Bible backs it up.

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.

The flat earth was presented in the Bible and no one questioned it till
[SIZE=+1]Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek about 310-230 BC, who had a heliocentric model. He proposed that all of the planets, including Earth revolved around the Sun, and that the Earth rotates on its axis once a day. His ideas did not gain widespread acceptance during his lifetime. This sun-centered model was later revived by Nicholaus Copernicus, a Polish cleric (1473-1543) around 1500....... The plane wasn't even invented till the 1900s and telescope 1600s.

NO PROOF! Blind ideas that were sold as truth, I'm not saying I'm 100% correct but I'm not going to blindly eat up what is fed to the masses, Like Christmas and Easter (Both Pagan).[/SIZE]

isn't it ironic that brainwashed people always accuse the majority of the world of being brainwashed?

What is even more ironic is that the people who tell us not to feed trolls keep feed flat- earthers

Yes. I feel bad. I should have known better. I honestly didn't realize that there are people who think the world is flat. So I was curious as to, why? I Googled flat earth last night and found some stuff, of course it's a vast array of information. I should've just done that in the first place and none of this would've happened.

Actually, you really can get away with it. How is the IRS going to find out something is up?

Well no one has ratted him out as of yet. When he dies though they will go after his wife if she's still alive. When my Dad died the IRS came after my Mother because my Dad hadn't filed anything for a few years. He owned his own business and things got put aside after he got sick. My Mom didn't know anything about taxes or anything, he took care of all of that. But she had to pay back taxes and it took a long time and it was a great deal of turmoil for her, so unless you have no social security number they'll find you eventually.
