    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    The topic brings up the issue of contrived reasoning rather than any technical discussion. It is not just restricted to flat Earth proponents but also those who present themselves as an authority in Earth and solar system sciences. I have been dealing with this issue for over 30 years and from...

    Hell

    During the life of a person, being in heaven or hell is a spiritual condition with very real physical effects so the joys and torments are part of that journey. If a person receives a birth in spirit, my goodness, they will certainly experience hell in equal measure in such a way that they...

    Motivation tips please.

    I would have been a nominal Christian many years ago until one beautiful morning when it all changed or more importantly I changed without really knowing what was happening. The experience was so immediate, so definite and came with such an impact that everything internal and external changed...

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    " Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?" Book of Job...

    Please do and let me know what you think. Jesus himself made the distinction in traditions so you can freely experience the inspiration that makes you a Christian without being dragged down by the perspectives which weigh on your spirit/inspiration- “I pray not only for them, but also for those...

    The traditions find you rather than the other way around, at least from my experience with one tradition- " But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man’s...

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    Thank you. There is a problem with contemporary science in this matter and it all stems from their inability to trace the history of timekeeping back to its roots and how the 24 hour system and Lat/Long system emerged together where clocks measure distance based on 1 degree of rotation for...

    Mercury moves from right to left when it passes behind the Sun as seen from a satellite tracking with the slower moving Earth as it is presently- https://sol24.net/data/html/SOHO/C3/96H/VIDEO/ When it passes between the central/station Sun and the slower moving Earth it moves from left to...

    Genesis one

    The chronology of Genesis is gorgeous and especially the circular time span from the birth of Adam in Genesis 1 to the first drop of rain in Noah's flood of Genesis 7 v11. https://books.google.ie/books?id=5VOGAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA10&lpg#v=onepage&q&f=false The clue for a more perceptive Christian is...

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    There is an inspirational new demonstration of the Earth and other planets moving around our parent central and stationary star. I would like to hear from other Christians, whether they enjoy it and if the explanation can be improved as a community effort. https://www.theplanetstoday.com/...

    The Bible is a collection of different traditions with some traditions closer to you than others. Some traditions make you frown while others elevate your spirit as they are inspiring. Many Christians suffer from trying to reconcile different traditions into a single narrative and that...

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    In our journey through life, we pick up the Eternal in creation and all those things which make our life possible and that includes a round and rotating Earth that also travels around our central star. It is honouring God in coming to appreciate the connection between our individual life and the...

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    The flat Earth proponents are so crude that they may as well believe the Earth is square or a triangle. Even the fact that they misuse Christian writings is not issue even if non-believers imagine this is what Christians believe. Leave them at it if they are happy in their own flat Earth world...

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    Normally I wouldn't engage in a thread where such an impossibly low standard of reasoning exists, after all, even contending with a flat Earther in order to convince them otherwise is beneath Christians at whatever level they appreciate Christ and Christianity. Although I am no great lover of...

    Bible Vs Scientism

    This is for Christians. There is from a satellite tracking with the Earth around the central Sun with a camera focused on the stationary star at the centre of all planetary motions. https://www.theplanetstoday.com/ Scroll the dates forward and the faster moving Mercury, the planet closest to...

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    It is not as simple as that so make sure you learn from Copernicus as it is relatively straightforward. A planet is not defined in isolation as the foolish today try to do. A planet was defined by its wandering (direct/retrograde) motion as opposed to the direct motion of the Sun through the...

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    If you don't see the problem, then you better come to appreciate what any Christian can by opening their eyes. There is no intermediary between observations and conclusions, not Kepler, not Newton and not me, however, it does Christians no harm to re-discover their heritage in these matters...

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    Hi. Putting an Arian like Newton between you and your appreciation of creation is disappointing, after all, solar system and Earth science research is primarily a visual exercise and not a mathematical exercise. Copernicus reasoned that the Earth moved while the Sun did not by accounting for...

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    Sir Isaac's inverse square law is an assault on the eyes so long as the observer knows what they are looking at- "That the fixed stars being at rest, the periodic times of the five primary planets, and (whether of the sun about the earth, or) of the earth about the sun, are in the sesquiplicate...

    Theory of Evolution.

    Biological and geological evolutionary sciences began together through the work of bishop Nicolas Steno and later researchers who used the fossil record found in rock strata to act like pages of a book in relating the great, if incomplete, biological and geological history of the planet...
