Yes I do. Have you noticed how gravity pulls everything to the ground?
There is no such thing as up and down in space. Gravity pulls everything to it's center. So do you think the earth is like some huge cookie floating in the sky? My son has over 20 telescopes, why is it every other planet is round? And if it's flat, why haven't we found the edge? And, we've been viewing the earth for decades from satellites, the Shuttle, the space station, the Hubble, and other telescopes. What's your problem?

For those reporting this thread, or thinking that in some way the site admin team agrees with flat earth theology because we allow these threads.

A) If you don't post in the thread it will quickly roll off the front couple of pages and disappear.

B) Posting trying to convince flat earthers of their incorrect interpretation of scripture does absolutely no good. You can post NASA images all day long and they will just brush them off as being CG forgeries.

C) Christian Chat routinely allows topic discussion that we as a site do not agree with and that allowance should in no way be interpreted as an endorsement.

The earth is on pillars. The edge is Antarctica, it's a wall of ice that goes around the whole earth. A circle. And check out operation fishbowl. They were shooting straight up trying to see how high the firmament is.. Why would they call it operation fishbowl. As if we are in a fishbowl. The government knows the earth is flat and has for a long time. The devil has been lying to us for a long time. When you look at the moon at night though a telescope it should almost look transparent, because it is only a light. And the stars are only light. That's why they twinkle and move around.

In sailing around the world I notice that a boat never goes out,then down/up ect. it always floats,sails (around the earth). If you can aford it book a flight from the U.S. to a country on the other side of the planet and you'll quickly see why this is so laughable(no offense intended),just pointing out we live in an age where world wide travel is possible...

There is something science refers to as SEA LEVEL. We say this state is below sea level, this state is at sea level, this state is above sea level etc... In the USA we have 15teeners = 15,000 feet above sea level mountain peaks. In Europe, there are 18 -20 k peaks. Just by height of land mass compared to sea level, there is no way anything is flat!!

I would say, "put your pipe down and stop smoking that stuff," but sadly it appears, you are already perma stoned in your own ignorance...:(


And no way is the earth as a planet is flat. It would not be able to rotate according to the gravity pull of the moon, stars, planets, and sun, let alone the electromagnetic factor.

So the first video did nothing for you?

The earth is on pillars? OK! So it's like a cookie with a bunch of tooth pics sticking in the bottom of it!

I'm amazed!

Maybe but he make really good points, that are found in the bible. I know in my heart that the earth is flat. We have been lied too about a lot of things. The devil has been lying from the beginning. The moon landing. Changing the Sabbath to Sunday. Teaching us that we came from Apes. On and on.
I will say one of the better videos I have seen on the topic.

lol, you have to admit though this is probably a good way to end a long hard day in the U.S. Navy after sailing around the world(shame they cant film it for them),,,

Pj as far as the flat earth goes there is a huge problem with that theory. You see God knew what he was doing when he made our universe he placed the earth right ina specific spot where we are neither to close or to far away from the sun, in fact say you moved the earth just a tad bit either away or towards the sun the o zone would be greatly affected as would the temperatures on the entire planet. Now consider this also the gravitational pull that makes our solar system function. The gravitational pull at the strength it was made makes all the planets the moon and the sun move in the circulatory system that it does. But that also has to with mass or the weight of the planet, if a plant with very low mass was to be to close to the intense gravitational pull of the sun it would be pulled right into the massive fiery flames of the sun. So if say the planet earth was indeed flat, it loses almost 90 percent of it's mass and therefore would be sucked right into the sun by it's gravitational pull.

People can give all the evidence they want on why the earth is flat but if no none understands or considers how the rest of the universe works then they only defeat their own argument.

Isaiah 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:

Well as I said I don't believe the Earth is flat. As far as the Sabbath no one changed that. Evolution is no contest.
I want to listen to the rebuttal on flat Earth theroy. I need a Ken hamm out look on the matter.
I don't know this pastor. Is this someone you have a history with?

It does not matter to me, flat earth, round earth, for things go on the same, and I do not care to look in to it.

But this only took about 10 seconds to think of it, and causes me to not even want to check in to anything of the flat earth for sure.

Because why do this study and that study, when get to the heart of the matter that will disprove it.

I thought of this, how we observe night and day, when it goes from night to day, and day to night.

We know that it is dark for a while so it is obvious the sun's light does not affect our area at times, so the light can only go so far and then have an ending point then darkness.

If the sun is always 3000 miles above a flat earth's surface then there would have to have an ending to the light, and an ending to the dark, a separation between the two, a dividing line.

Which the light would chase the darkness, and the darkness would chase the light, for the sun is always 3000 miles above the earth.

The light can only go so far then darkness, and the darkness can only go so far then light, because the sun is always above the earth's surface.

So according to a flat earth this is how we should observe it going from dark to light, and light to dark, for the darkness would chase the light, and the light would chase the darkness, having a dividing point between them.

It would be dark in our area, and then we would see the light coming our way, but it would still be dark in our area until the light reaches our area, and then the light would pass through our area, and we would see the darkness going off in the distance, and when it is light in our area we would see the darkness coming our way, but it would still be light in our area, and then the darkness would pass through our area, and we would see the light going off in the distance.

That is how we would observe it going from light to dark, and dark to light, and it can be no other way, for the sun is always 3000 miles above the earth's surface, so there has to be a dividing point between light and dark, and the dark would chase the light, and the light would chase the dark.

But we do not observe it going from dark to light, and light to dark, in that way, for when we first see the sun in the morning, boom, it lights across the whole area that we can see, and when we do not see the sun at night when it disappears to our sight, boom, it goes dark across all the area we can see.

As soon as the sun appears it is light across the whole area we see, and as soon as we do not see the sun it is dark across the whole area we see, from one side to the other.

The light does not chase the dark, and the dark does not chase the light.

For on a round earth as the sun is coming up it will light across the whole area from one end to the other, and when it goes down it will be dark from one end to the other.

The way we observe it going from light to dark, and dark to light, can only be on a round earth.

It could not happen on a flat earth with the sun always 3000 miles above the earth's surface.

And they say the earth is not round because the Bible says the 4 corners of the earth, but a flat circle does not have 4 corners either, at least that is what I learned when I was a toddler when I tried to fit the circle peg in the square hole.

I cant believe that somebody today really accept such wrong idea.

Even Greeks in 300 BC knew that the Earth is not flat.

Even people in 14th, 15th century knew it, thats why they used naval corridors directed to opposite site to get to other continents.

And now, in the 21st century, when we have satelites, GPS, live streams from ISS and even private companies can afford to get to space, some "teachers" must confuse people into such silly ideas and use literal reading of biblical poems.

Maybe, but it is what it is.

Aren't you tired of being lied too. The devil and his demons are laughing at us. Because we will believe anything. Like men landing on the moon, they can't land on a light. Evaluation, the big bang theory and the earth is spinning. Tha's what is garbage. When those demons are being cast out they laugh at us, because we are so stupid.
PJ,

Get away from listening to the dubba's who put out these conspiracy theories. We did land on the moon and there are Mars rovers.

I watched a little bit of the video . . . he gives no Biblical evidence for flat Earth

When he said there is no reason that God would create infinite amounts of planets and stars - instead this is a trick of science - well, to say the least, it was no longer worth my time - wish I would not have wasted five minutes on it . . .

apparently he is unfamiliar with Psalm 8

Psalms 8:3-4
When I consider thy heavens,
the work of Thy fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which Thou hast ordained;
What is man, that Thou art mindful of him?
