    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    I have to admit I don't even know what the bible OR the secular world teaches on this. Could you show me the verse that shows the sun orbits around the earth? Is the first one what the world teaches?

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    Isaiah 40:22 doesn't exactly prove the NASA claims, rather it proves the biblical circle of the earth. Which would be like a disk, you can't look down on something and its grasshoppers if it's a globe. What about the pillars? Here is the biblical model:

    Contradiction or Harmony?

    Its just that the contradictions are completely okay as the covenants are different. For example, what God told Noah contradicts what God told Moses. The dietary laws. What gives? Well, different covenant is what gives, and that explains the contradiction. No problem.

    Who is the first and second beast? (1 from sea, 1 from earth)

    Thank you. One more question: How can a muslim man sit in the temple of God and proclaim himself to be god? That is not allowed in islam as two others have pointed out, it would be considered 'shirk' which is the ultimate sin in islam.

    Who is the first and second beast? (1 from sea, 1 from earth)

    I love your honesty and yes that is how views often go, they are a product of the times. But this one about Islam has been true since Islam's founding.

    Who is the first and second beast? (1 from sea, 1 from earth)

    Thank you for your contribution. Are there any bible verses to support this? I have heard some people say the OT mentions "an Assyrian"

    Who is the first and second beast? (1 from sea, 1 from earth)

    Revelation 13:1 The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name Revelation 13:11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a...

    The Mosaic Law

    As Christians we can learn from the tanakh (5 books of Moses) and the prophets, psalms, all of scripture, as per 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, This "Scripture" being referred to is obviously the old...

    Who is the first and second beast? (1 from sea, 1 from earth)

    I have heard and read many say that the beast was NERO, but Nero did not rule for 42 months, he ruled for over a decade. So I don't believe it is Nero. I have heard some say its the papacy, the Pope, but then it would have to somehow account for the fact that there are two beasts, first one is...

    Free Will - A More Exhaustive Look

    Sorry I did not mean to label you, I just used the word Calvinist as that is what they are commonly called among Christians. They teach everything is predestined. My apologies. I agree the Lord can control everything and can do as He wants, I just disagree that He controls every single little...

    Free Will - A More Exhaustive Look

    There are a few verses where God does cause people to do something, but where the calvinist goes wrong is he takes these verses and makes them the norm, rather than the exception. Revelation 17:17For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their...

    Free Will - A More Exhaustive Look

    As many Church fathers argued, without free will man cannot be held responsible for his actions. A few quotes: 260-315 AD Methodius "Those [pagans] who decide that man does not have free will, but say that he is governed by the unavoidable necessities of fate, are guilty of impiety toward God...

    Is faith a work?

    Much is made of the works thing in the modern church. The works Paul is talking about are not obeying Jesus' commandments or the doctrine of the Apostles. What Paul is referring to is the works of the law of Moses, which many pharisees at the time taught were mandatory for salvation, biggest...

    Baptism by water

    This debate is mostly a western one, a new one that developed because people believe in salvation as something you grab as you go and continue on. Its like grabbing a cup of coffee at starbucks. Got salvation now, cya buddy. Stop debating baptism or if its necessary, Jesus and the apostles told...

    Question for partial preterists

    Preterism is harder to accept than historicism or futurism. Preterists rest their hat on the time elements in the bible, like "soon" in the book of Revelation, without looking up the possible meanings of the word. It could also mean will come to pass quickly, meaning once they start its 42...

    NASA will never show you the spinning globe, but you can see the Earth is FLAT for yourself with infrared camera technology.

    They say that no one can go to the end of the earth because there is an ice covering, and they say there is a lot of military stuff on the edges to prevent people from entering. As someone who has never travelled, I can't confirm one way or another.
