Does the Bible support the idea of a spinning ball earth flying through space, or is that a Satanic, Masonic lie?

The whole notion of the Big Bang forced atheistic astrophysicists to perform mental acrobatics by coming up with the multiverse.
That would just be another scientific theory at the moment. A lot of science is based on theory until proven.

Besides that religion hardly ever comes into science unless scientists are asked there views on religion.

Science main goal is not to dispute God.
The main goal is to build
knowledge and understanding.

Depends on the scientist. I for one do not have that kind of faith in most contemporary scientists, as they push anthropogenic global warming and call it an existential threat, they continue to look for a natural originating cause for the universe, and they tell us we all accidentally evolved from lower forms of life that just accidentally came into existence themselves. Now, we're hearing from the scientific community that transgenderism is healthy.

Nope, not buying it.

You're damning to Hell every believer who thinks the earth's a spherical body?
I am pretty sure he was only referring to the 'evil bunch' that came up with it all. (That is the idea.)

And, the number's 666, not 0.666.
What you need to understand about this is that - to the 'evil bunch' - the '666' is what is important - and, the decimal point is not significant.

You forget that science has to examine all theories to gain understanding.

Time will tell.

science can't answer whether the age of the foundations of the earth can account for the earth being younger than it is.

You know like, elements and particles from extremely old foundations seeping into the earth.

The bible clearly suggest the foundations of the earth where grown first, the earths seed).

Carbon dating is a myth because elements of an old foundation may have seeped in to a new earth.

Any combination of digits other than "666" or in reference to anything other than a man is irrelevant. The digits themselves are meaningless.

The ancients thought the world was flat. God works with people according to their understanding.
That's your belief. It's an honest one (and it does seem more than one here share it), but I don't believe it's satisfactory for the type of God we worship.

You are left with the question, what else has God dumbed down so that our (presumably) stupid ancestors could understand it? How can we trust the scriptures? My view is that our ancestors were more clever than us, and it is modern man with the problem, not God's inability to explain, or our ancestors' abilities to be properly inspired.

Do you understand the difference between ignorant and stupid?

How can we trust the scriptures?
All scripture is given by inspiration of God.

My view is that our ancestors were more clever than us,
In what ways do you think they were more clever?

and it is modern man with the problem, not God's inability to explain, or our ancestors' abilities to be properly inspired.
Modern man has many problems. Since the fall, mankind has always had problems.

Our ancestors were properly inspired. God works with people according to their understanding.

I can see that you are intending to look at it strictly from a biblical prophecy point of view; however, I was referring to the fact that - in the occult realm - it is meaningful. It is a big thing with them. It is "everything" to them. They apply meaning with numbers to almost everything.

notice, whenever there's your pictures or science pictures, there's never one showing entire earth's continents.

a flat earth would be able to show all continents at once. but not even you flat earthers can produce one because it's impossible to see ALL continents of Earth at one time because the EARTH is a SPHERE!

as long as you are in any atmosphere, it will reflect flat. go out of the atmosphere and you can see the difference.
Excuses, excuses, excuses... :rolleyes:

Have you personally [actually] been 'out of the atmosphere'? If not, why do you put this forth as though it is a well known scientifically proven fact? In all my life, I have never heard of such a thing until now.

In other words, what you are really saying is:

"You will just have to believe me, because I know you cannot personally go out of the atmosphere to actually test this yourself."

Tell me something - do you really believe that "gravity keeps our atmosphere from being sucked into the vacuum of space"...???

if the earth was flat, we would lose 50% mass and density. we would be further away from the Sun than Pluto.
If you are going to "talk Flat Earth", then you need to learn how to look at it and talk about it from within the Flat Earth model - it does no good at all whatsoever to attempt to "talk Flat Earth" from within the Ball Earth model.

You don't think the earth could be flat on top and have the same exact mass as the globe earth you believe in?

The earth is flat on top - we don't know its exact shape or how deep it goes...

In the Flat Earth model, 'pluto' (a 'wondering star') is already no-doubt closer to the sun (above the sun) than the earth is (below the sun).

To someone who understands the Flat Earth model, you appear to simply not know what you are talking about (with regard to the Flat Earth model).

Sooooo - you really should learn how the Flat Earth model works before you attempt to "talk Flat Earth"... ;)

While I can appreciate your zeal in trying to show others 'Flat Earth' truth - this is a Christian website - and, you should abstain from posting things like this unless you can edit the image to remove (or, at least 'blur') the 'offensive' parts before you post it.

It is a little bit different (albeit, not by much) where video is concerned. There is no excuse where an image is concerned. Almost anyone can edit an image these days.

It is not an issue of "handling it" - many of us are adults and can "handle it" just fine - but, that is also not the issue - which is - making the effort to maintain a certain level of decency for the sake of good clean fellowship.

I really hate it when someone comes on here posting about 'Flat Earth' - and, after a while, "anything goes" becomes their M.O. - and, after a while, they get banned. What a shame. If only they would discipline themselves to respect the environment.

So - this is a "heads-up" - and, if you are a wise man, you will listen to it and heed its advice...

Don't mess up a good thing - keep it within the expected boundaries. :cool:
