It seems easier to me to believe that the government is conspiring to deceive people with the flat earth idea to show what kooks Christians are, than to go through all the trouble of fabricating all the photos and science that show the earth to be a sphere.

And the "passion" with which it is defended by simply ignoring all the incontrovertible truth that contradicts it, makes me wonder what is truly motivating the people who proclaim it. Maybe they are the ones who are conspiring with the government?

Either that, or we need to spend more time praying for those who are not be able to honestly evaluate the evidence in the name of Christ and through the working of the Spirit of Truth in their lives - at the moment.

You do believe in conspiracies; there is hope for you. ;)

From "100 Proofs the Earth is Not a Globe" by William Carpenter, "
If we take a journey down the Chesapeake Bay, by night, we shall see the ‘light’ exhibited at Sharpe's Island for an hour before the steamer gets to it. We may take up a position on the deck so that the rail of the vessel's side will be in a line with the ‘light’ and in the line of sight; and we shall find that in the whole journey the light won't vary in the slightest degree in its apparent elevation. But, say that a distance of thirteen miles has been traversed, the astronomers' theory of ‘curvature’ demands a difference (one way or the other!) in the apparent elevation of the light, of 112 feet 8 inches! Since, however, there is not a difference of 100 hair's breadths, we have a plain proof that the water of the Chesapeake Bay is not curved, which is a proof that the Earth is not a globe."

I never said I didn't. But I speculate it is more likely that the government is behind the flat earth theory than the spherical earth theory.

Anyone who travels to the arctic circle in June and the antarctic circle in December will see for themselves that the earth can not possibly be flat.

But why would the "elite" want to promote a flat earth theory? Because it is a great way for the devil to waste countless hours in the lives of countless Christians arguing over utter non-sense rather than helping people all over the world learn more about the love and mercy of God our Father as expressed by the death burial and resurrection of His infinitely beloved, one and only human born Son, Yeshuah Messiah.

How many people have died and gone to hell because so much time has been wasted not only on this thread, but on all the similar threads on all the similar Christian forums across the internet?

How many sincere seekers of Christ have rejected everything that is said on this website because this paranoid rejection of rational thinking has convinced them that all Christians are just as crazy as Barak Obama and the other power holders have made them out to be?

Who would benefit from this controversy? God? I think not.

Who then is causing this division among humans who claim to follow the risen Savior?

These Christians do continue to post in this flat earth thread because they do believe the earth is flat.

The spirit of truth, God has revealed through the Holy Bible, that the earth is a circle and is no way a globe, is uniting Christians throughout the flat earth.

Spherical, if you and I were to take such a trip, do you have enough "spiritual and emotional maturity" to reevaluate your position?

Honestly, I am willing to reevaluate mine if there is sufficient true evidence to justify it.

I have broken out of a number of "cultural (and Christian) indoctrinations" to which I was subject. It takes courage to admit one is possibly wrong about something significant.

But that is how one becomes a true Christian in the first place. Christian growth is, not only the willingness, but the determination to continue learning where one is wrong and asking the Father, in Jesus' name, to help you change.

NASA and modern astronomy say the Earth is a giant ball tilted back, wobbling and spinning 1,000 mph around its central axis, traveling 67,000 mph circles around the Sun, spiraling 500,000 mph around the Milky Way, while the entire galaxy rockets a ridiculous 670,000,000 mph through the Universe, with all of these motions originating from an alleged "Big Bang" cosmogenic explosion 14 billion years ago. That’s a grand total of 670,568,000 mph in several different directions we’re all supposedly speeding along at simultaneously, yet no one has ever seen, felt, heard, measured or proven a single one of these motions to exist whatsoever.

The Bible does not define this earth as flat. It used the terminology of an unscientific, poetic based culture to communicate the the truths of God.

Claiming the earth is flat because the Bible referred to it from that perspective is not "proof" the world is flat. It is just as valid as demanding that God must have wings because it says so somewhere in the Bible.

There is a difference between what a given Bible passage was intended to convey by God and the authors and what we, in our own speculation think it might mean 2-3000 years later in our 21st century mindset.

Claiming the earth is flat because you personally think a given passage kind of looks like it supports a flat earth is not honoring to God who has given us tools of logic and science, along with godly Spirit led wisdom, to discern the truth of the world around us.

Spherical, please consider the possibility that you are misunderstanding some passages of the Bible. I have been misunderstanding things, Biblical and otherwise, all of my life. It is the nature of all of us silly humans. The man who can't admit he may be wrong, can never be right.

It is our responsibility to God to disprove our own self-deception. It is how we show we love Him more than we love ourselves.

[h=1]ALLOWING THE BIBLE TO SPEAK FOR ITSELF[/h]Below are a number of Bible verses without commentary. Unless otherwise noted, all of the Scriptures are taken from the KJV. Pretending you have never heard of a globe or even a flat earth before, let's just allow the Bible to speak for itself. Read them over a couple of times, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal to you what they mean. Without forcing an interpretation based on preconceived notions, meditate on them and ask yourself, "What is the Bible really showing me concerning the nature of the heavens, the earth, the sun, moon and stars?" Then, in the next section after this one, I will give my commentary on these Scriptures, revealing what I believe they are saying to me.
The Scriptures below are arranged by topics in order to set the stage for what will follow. I have placed the book of Job before Genesis as many (if not most) scholars believe it is the oldest book of the Bible. And I have also emphasized words in bold for us to consider as we read. This is by no means an exhaustive list of Scripture. It is essentially just a first run, which I will continue to add to as I find more in the future.
Scriptures concerning the nature of the heavens/sky above and their relationship to the earth:
Job 9:8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
Job 22:14 (HCSB) Clouds veil Him so that He cannot see, as He walks on the circle of the sky.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Ezekiel 1:26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
Amos 9:6 (NASB) The One who builds His upper chambers in the heavens And has founded His vaulted dome over the earth,
He who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the face of the earth, The Lord is His name.

Scriptures concerning the nature of the earth below the firmament:
Job 9:6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
1 Samuel 2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them.

9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
Psalm 136:
6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Psalms 19:
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

Spher, you are claiming that because you do not personally perceive these motions they must not exist.

You then claim that "no one has ever seen, felt, heard, measured or proven a single one of these motions to exist whatsoever". But this entire thread has given overwhelming evidence for this.


Under what conditions would you allow God, the maker of Heaven and Earth, to convince you of the truth of these things?

Before spending any more time and energy trying to convince me that you are right, please prayerfully respond to this question:

Under what conditions would you allow God, the maker of Heaven and Earth, to convince you of the truth of these things?



It is our responsibility to God to disprove our own self-deception. It is how we show we love Him more than we love ourselves.

Actually when you use proper math calculations you quickly find that no other explanation is needed for every one of Sperical's scenarios. The curvature of the earth is 8 inches per mile whereas the figures that Sperical is using would put that curvature at several feet per mile.
Actually, its 8 inches per mile *squared*. So 8 inches first mile (8 * 1^2), 32 inches second mile (8 * 2^2), 72 inches third mile (8 * 3^2) and so on. 8 inches per mile would definitely mean a planar Earth.
