Maybe I don't understand it but if you fly east, you keep going east, and if you fly west you keep going west, but if you fly north towards the north pole, then eventually you will be going south. If it is a flat earth how could you keep going east and not run out of earth. Psalm 103:12 "as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. " The idea that east and west can never meet works on a sphere, it does not work on a flat earth or has God only removed our transgressions the distance it takes to get from the western side of the flat earth to eastern side?

So did anyone catch the partial solar eclipse yesterday?
:unsure:I mean the solar eclipse which was faked by NASA and recorded by Satanic plotters at the Royal Observatory Greenwich.

The eclipse was visible from most of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and the western parts of Asia. The last one of 2022.

The rest of the world will have a chance to view a total lunar eclipse on the 8th Nov. The lunar eclipse will be visible from
North America, parts of South America, Central and Eastern Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

On a Globe Earth, one airplane traveling East and the other traveling West will meet head on (when on the same route).

However, in a straight line, traveling in direct opposite directions leads to infinity.
God calls us to make straight the paths of the Lord where there is no curvature of Truth bending as the Serpent.

Which our LORD and Savior demonstrated when HE died on the Cross for the sins of the whole world.

Please review the two world record long distance photos taken = see Post 921

Peace and Blessing in the Truth of God's Word

Think of a disc (world). North is the hub, South is the rim. East and West are widdershins and turnwise. Whether traveling widdershins or turnwise, you will never leave the disc (just keep travelling in circles). You keep going North, you will stay in the center. South is the only way to the edge.

if you fly east, you keep going east, and if you fly west you keep going west
The very interesting 1971 Hafele–Keating experiment did this (see 4m video). It confirmed that when circumventing the globe, time would speed up flying west and slow down flying east. This has been confirmed over and over with increasingly accurate equipment.

Obviously NASA has lied a lot as shown by our brother in Christ Bart Sibrel. It can be difficult for those who haven't been given math and physics skills by God to discern between the truth and the lies. Many cults say Jesus was just a man and never resurrected. Our reaction should be to reject that lie but not overreact and say Jesus never existed. NASA lies also shouldn't be pushed farther and become distraction's to God's Truth.

Tin foil hats are good for storing leftovers in a pinch as well. I love multipurpose products.
I'm thinking baked spaghetti with cheese on top



just remember to wash your foil hat before putting it back on

this is what happens when folks are edumakted beyond their comprehension

all of a sudden people who disagree are stoooopid and worship science

fyi, the early church believed in a round earth as per scripture and when I have time, or maybe, I will post how the theory of a flat earth came about

in the meantime, carry on with this nonsense. it's good for a laugh

What is your point? I honestly don't understand it.

I've also never seen the bible as ever pushing a flat earth. My STEM degree and my decades of experience with GPS also never showed any evidence for a flat earth.

I am pretty sure 'flat earth' came about during Creation Week - I am more interested in the "as per scripture" part - I am quite certain that I have never seen 'round earth' in scripture... :geek:

The pictures did not show anything at all. Worthless.
What about the Big Picture God gave you = Water and His Word

As you know = 'a picture is worth a thousand words'

i see water obeys the command of God and always seeks its own level = 24/7 everywhere on earth

There is not one verifiable picture of water disobeying God's command.

"When He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When He marked out the foundations of the earth,"
Proverbs 8:29h

Every ocean, lake and river abide in the God ordained boundaries set for them.

You can do a observable science test on this.

Well, at 520km you would clearly (lol) have that.
How is it possible for an aircraft to fly in a straight line in any direction and eventually end up at the starting point in a flat earth. This has been done many times.

The water in oceans curves around the earth in order to establish it levels. I do agree that God has set the boundaries for the oceans but that has nothing to do with a flat earth. Other planets are ball shaped too besides the earth.

"Water curves around the earth"

and you guys laugh at us!!!

Well at least i am laughing with the Lord Jesus Christ who created the Law of physics governing water.

By the Way, i greatly appreciate your fellowship in Christ and i know you share the same Heart of love towards me.

It's all good brother. As I have never traveled in space, I could not say for 100% certainty whether the earth is actually round or flat. :)

As a young child my daughter once asked me whether Santa is real or not. I asked if she really believed in the Easter Bunny, and she said "no". Her question had been answered. Smart kid then and today is a very smart woman.

That includes myself as well.

Soon, we will make that journey = whether it be while we are standing looking up or when we put off this 'tent'

Which begs the question concerning His Second Coming - does it agree with a globe earth?

Just something to ponder anyhow.............Peace
