Just because you see a flight listed on a website does not mean that it is definitely a real flight.

(BTW - both of those links came up empty/unknown.)

You do not know that it is a real flight until you buy the tickets - AND - make/take the flight - AND - determine that your experience on the flight was actually a true reflection of the flight plan you intended from the beginning.
I've told you what I was to say, my brother. It's between you and our Lord.

As I said, the links will expire. They did. It's Quantas, Kayak.com, Expedia.com. Or whatever you decide. God will provide. You know how to find the flights (Santiago/Sydney or Santiago/Johannesburg) and complete them.

My faith is, if I was currently convinced the earth was flat, and everything that goes with that, I would prepare and complete the flight before I told my brothers and sisters in Christ the earth was flat. In this context, speaking truth, or the other thing, is that important to me. I'd put the burden of proof on me, not the current world paradigm. That's just me.

I find it interesting that flat-Earth proponents reject photos that disagree with their views, but expect globe-earthers to accept the photos they post.

I understand all-too-well that I will one day stand before God and be judged. And, the Bible says that every idle word shall be judged. So, shall not every word in every post also be judged?

My faith is, if the Bible describes the earth as being stationary and that it does not move - then, I believe it. (best kind of 'proof' there is)

The video in post #630 has such strong Flat Earth 'proof' in it that nothing else really compares to it or can stand up against it.

The airplane flight issue is really quite insignificant when compared to many other things that need to also be considered.

Wanting to know the truth, and speak the truth, is of the highest priority.

My conscience is very clear. I thank God for showing me the truth.

Here it is again:


Only 00:10:47 in length - a very worthwhile watch/listen.

I suppose the reverse may also be considered to be just as true.

Fruit does not belong on pizza.
There's no such thing as pepperoni.
Pizza is properly eaten with a fork and knife. We aren't barbarians after all.
You're welcome.
Call me a cockamamie barbarian because I love me some pepperoni & fruit on my planet pizza. I also balk at your fork and knife and always eat it with my hands.

Planets are pizzas!

One day God will put 'crow' on the Pizza Pie and it will then become Humble Pie.

You might have noticed that he doesn’t think through his memes before posting. He’s been a troll in the Bible forum, and is doing the same thing here.
I thought you were top of your physics class, Dino? Don't you want to correct your wayward Heliocentrist on his mathematical folly, or you didn't read his erroneous claim on ball-Earth theory curvature?

I don't doubt for a moment that the sequence of photos of the sun dipping low to the horizon before "rising" again is real, even though it is a composite of separate images. I believe that such observations are real, because they are consistent with globe-earth geometry. They are not, as the poster would imply, "normal" because they don't occur at any latitude lower than 60 degrees.

Which images presented by a globe-earth proponent have you accepted as valid, even though they (might) challenge your worldview? I recall you rejecting out of hand the pics I posted of the Sydney Opera House, demanding full-motion video with references constantly in view.

Technically there are not 200 (for example there are a number of which are all about lighthouses -- one argument really), and some arguements by themselves don't prove it, but all together the evidence is overwhelming that modern so-called science about the earth is not the reality.
I agree with your final assertion there, but I would say there are well over 200. Truth has endless evidence and the fairy tale that the earth is not a spinning ball in space is anything but Truth.

Eric Dubay? No need to click the link... he's been soundly debunked.
The facts he presents have not.

You can't prove any of the 200 proofs wrong - and some of them were proposed by authors long before Dubay's time so it's not all "his" ideas that the video presents.

You're welcome to hate him, but the facts he presents are just that.

Facts.
