So your god CREATED satan to deceive the world and then sent Jesus to die for the world, but not the whole world. Only those who accept Him in this age, and if you are born into a religion that NEVER EVER mentions the good news and no Bibles are allowed (better yet, you were kept in a basement), then die at 18, your punishment is hell with no hope?
I can’t even begin to decipher your illogical post. Your analogy borders on religious extremism and I have no sufficient response other than the Word of God.

Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

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.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and he will direct your path. Do not be wise in your own eyes.


For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.


Here’s your dilemma: You either have faith in Christ that he is Lord of all or trust in your own worldly understanding and continue wrestling with paranoia the rest of your life.
You CLEARLY did not see it was a question, I never said I thought THAT way. Come on, way to misrepresent! Again!

First sentence of post #124 you stated 'Those who think like that ("sin it up") will be the ones who will be refined in The Lake of Fire which is Gods refining fire'. Given the definition of refined, what good would it do to free those people of impurities and purify them if they are going to be destroyed? It was your use of the word 'refined' which led me to ask the question in post #127.
When God "destroys", He builds again. (How man views "destroy" is not Gods Way).

1 cor 15 50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?56The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

LOL, more assumptions, I'm at peace with God and Gods Word.
Even if there was scary hell (which only self righteous people could believe they won't go there when others will, where's the humble in that?) I trust God and have no fear. My God Keeps His Promises and is able to have His Will Be Done.

And the shape of the earth is secondary, I don't need to know the shape of the Earth but it is interesting and for a Christian to think the World is NOT out to deceive (by satan) is deceived already! It's clear as day, why are we not to be conformed to this world? Do you even know that is in the Bible?
Did you read the rest of the verse?

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

How can I believe you "trust God and have no fear" if you're publicly proclaiming your obsession with a flat earth conspiracy theory? That the devil is out to get you at every turn?

There's a huge difference between being sober & vigilant (trusting God, not my own understanding) and walking in fear of the devil. Your intellectual mind is not the mind of Christ.

And by the way, the devil can quote the Bible better than you or I. Posting scripture is no indication of living the reality of the grace of Christ Jesus.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Lord's Spirit is, there is freedom! \:D/

Surrender that worldly malarkey and trust in the Lord, sister! His truth will set you free! :eek:

I can say the same of you about the Bible on online forums, you don't know me anymore than I know you. What have I said about Gods Word that so offends you?

The REST of the verse does not contradict, but confirms... [FONT=&quot]"And do not be conformed to this world"

You stated 'When God "destroys", He builds again'. So in your words, God is going to throw folk into the lake of fire, only to let them out later and restore them, correct?

My question again then...So what you are saying is those who are refined in the lake of fire still escape death?

As you suggested, I went through the thread and found you've posted approximately 40 comments, all in support of the flat earth belief and/or criticizing those who don't believe it.

Title of this Thread: The Earth is Round

A small portion of your comments follow:
I'm not ruling it out, I've been looking into it for about 3 years now. To be honest, flat earth is the option that presents our world in a way that we don't need all the extra reasoning for how and why things work.
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.
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:
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).
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)
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).
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).
Guided Tours, Yes! Try going on your own. Look up the treaty held by over a dozen countries. It is still upheld.
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.
The flat earth was presented in the Bible and no one questioned it till 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).
I would say you are obsessed with it.
:p

My question again then...So what you are saying is those who are refined in the lake of fire still escape death?
Malachi 3:2-3
2 But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire, And like launderers' soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the LORD An offering in righteousness.

Mark 9:49
For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.

The Lake of Fire is where all the rest of unrighteousness is purged (The elect do not go through this, they are of the First Resurrection and have already been "purged" in this age), this happens after the millennium.

1 Corinthians 3:11-14
11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone's work, which he has built on, it endures, he will receive a reward.

1 Corinthians 3:15
If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

There is a physical death AND spiritual death, when these occur in ones existence are in Gods timing. And He is not confined to "this age".

So, no one "escapes" death.

BTW, Number/Quantity of posts do not equate extent of those posts. And it still has no bearing on the fact that you are assuming you know me, and even if I am obsessed, WHO CARES! Apparently you for some strange reason.

Begs the question now...are the sun and moon flat as well? Was a crescent moon this morning and immediately thought of this thread.
The sun and moon are a fondue. The sun is the heat and the moon is the cheese. How did you not know this after all this time?

I can not believe this is being discussed. Any child in the Fourth Grade knows this is not true. One thing that seems to be ignored is if the earth were flat, and the oceans are real, how do they keep from draining away off the edges? I can not believe this is being discussed, or that I just discussed it.
Every child in the fourth grade also knows evolution is real.
