That's where you are wrong. Do you know nothing about tides?
Water has movement when flowing downhill and God created the flow of water including tides.

Read how God placed boundaries for all WATER on earth = most especially the oceans.

Do you know/understand what a boundary is?

Also, anything heavier then air will fall thru it because the air cannot support it = PERIOD.


"HE gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth."
Proverbs

Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
The solar system is a finely-tuned wonder. God put us preceisly where we need to be for our kind of life to thrive.
Mankind is the centre of his attention (y):):cool:

It is not irrelevant.

Joshua 10:

12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. 13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

The 'command' was for the sun and moon to 'stand thou still'. And, they did.

At the very absolute least, you would have to agree that - relative to the "battleground" in this scenario - the sun and moon stopped moving for "about a whole day"...

It happened. The Bible says so. And, it is not just somebody's opinion about how it "appeared"; rather, it is the biblical historical record of what actually happened - "the sun stood still in the midst of heaven" is a description of an actual historical 'event'.

It does not get any more real or sure than this.

So then - the question becomes:

Relative to an observer on the earth - how does the sun and moon stop moving for ~24 hours?

How does it even appear to stop moving for ~24 hours?

Relative to an observer on the earth - how does the sun and moon stand still for ~24 hours?

How does it even appear to stand still for ~24 hours?
Again, it's not relevant to the discussion at hand. The truth is that God is able to accomplish it regardless of the shape of the Earth. We are not able to investigate the circumstances behind the text, so we are left with our interpretation of the text. Your interpretation is not evidence for your position. Your questions are nothing but empty rhetoric. The point of the passage is not to specify the technical details of the phenomenon, but rather to record the fact of it and demonstrate God's glory through it.

I had to edit that particular picture heavily to reduce it to an allowable file size.
If you are sharing an image from online, you can upload to https://postimages.org/ and choose
to resize on upload. If the file does not allow it, save to your computer first and then upload to
https://postimages.org/ and select from the drop-down. 640 pixels is often large enough :)

What holds the trillion ton ocean to a spinning globe earth, upside down and keeping it = SEA LEVEL 24/7 ???

And your laughing at me ???

Very soon, in the Presence of the CREATOR, you'll find out how deep the darkness of deception was that covered the earth.

You'll be amazed at how much you thought was science turns out to be science fiction.

people loose all credibility with me (mind you if you insist the earth is flat it's a given that already happened) when they hide behind God and threaten others with things like the above

yeah dude. Gravity. you use it every single day

smh

Of course the balloon moves sideways at times and erratic movement = wind current for one

Stay with factual science that obeys the LAWS God created the earth with = WATER , AIR , LAND
which laws are those?

would you kindly post them for us? seriously...let's see what they are cause I think you are making things up at this point

the Bible states God made everything which I believe but there are no laws

we have learned many things as part of that creation, but no 'creation laws' are to be found. what we do find, is that it is true God holds it all together by the word of His power...atoms and all that

The Laws of Planetary Motion
The creation scientist Johannes Kepler discovered that the planets in our solar system obey three laws of nature. He found that planets orbit in ellipses (not perfect circles as had been previously thought) with the sun at one focus of the ellipse; thus a given planet is sometimes closer to the sun than at other times. Kepler also found that planets sweep out equal areas in equal times—in other words, planets speed up as they get closer to the sun within their orbit. And third, Kepler found the exact mathematical relationship between a planet’s distance from the sun (a) and its orbital period (p); planets that are farther from the sun take much longer to orbit than planets that are closer (expressed as p2=a3). Kepler’s laws also apply to the orbits of moons around a given planet.1
As with the laws of chemistry, these laws of planetary motion are not fundamental. Rather, they are the logical derivation of other laws of nature. In fact, it was another creation scientist (Sir Isaac Newton) who discovered that Kepler’s laws could be derived mathematically from certain laws of physics—specifically, the laws of gravity and motion (which Newton himself formulated).

BTW....the so-called "force" of "gravity" is undoubtedly electromagnetic in nature. As is everything else.
Precisely the same thing as so-called "magnetism". Non-point source dielectric acceleration vs point source.

Find out about counterspace, the dielectric and the aether. And read up on what Charles Proteus Steinmetz had to say. And Tesla. And Eric Dollard.

so when the tides moves inland during a hurricane...especially at high tide....is the water breaking God's laws?

well that's a silly question if I do say so myself. are you aware that the very continents move...slow...but they move? breaking God's laws then?

you do not understand how this planet and others are actually under God's laws that He set in motion so that we don't crash into Jupiter or something

I realize you cannot conceive of that as it does not fit your understanding, but the fact is, that the way things actually do work according to God, is far more amazing than the very silly and impossible understanding of a flat earth

you present the fact that you cannot comprehend how amazing God's creation actually is with this flat earth nonsense

Tesla was way ahead of his time. sad story that. we could have had free electricity

the others you mention I am not that familiar with

I have read about this:

Electricity is everywhere, even in the human body. Our cells are specialized to conduct electrical currents. Electricity is required for the nervous system to send signals throughout the body and to the brain, making it possible for us to move, think and feel.
Scientists agree that the human body, at rest, can produce around 100 watts of power on average

and then there is all of this:

Gravity Fails
First of all, a pancaked planet might not have any gravity. It’s unclear how gravity would work, or be created, in such a world, says James Davis, a geophysicist at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. That’s a pretty big deal, since gravity explains a wide range of Earthly and cosmic observations. The same measurable force that causes an apple to fall from a tree also causes the moon to orbit the Earth and all the planets to orbit the sun.
People who believe in a flat Earth assume that gravity would pull straight down, but there’s no evidence to suggest it would work that way. What we know about gravity suggests it would pull toward the center of the disk. That means it would only pull straight down at one point on the center of the disk. As you got increasingly far from the center, gravity would tug more and more horizontally. This would have some strange impacts, like sucking all the water toward the center of the world, and making trees and plants grow diagonally, since they develop in the opposite direction of gravity’s pull.

when I read about how things actually work, it is all the more amazing how it all fits together and works together

You are welcome, Dino :) I like postimages for a number of reasons, such as, they do not require registration,
they do not limit viewing of your images due to band width usage, nor do they delete images (as photobucket
does or used to on all three counts), although postimages gives you the option to delete as long as you
save the link to do so, or do it before closing the upload page where all the coding info is given :D

“Down” is toward the centre of the Earth.
SWBE - Spinning Water Ball Earth is the deception brought to earth by fallen angles = Egypt & Babylon

The earth is not a flat pancake.

Well, your hiding behind NASA and it's satanic authority, and with it, mocking others = not approved by the LORD.

IMPORTANT = i threatened no one but only share God's.
