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

I would love to hear compelling and intelligent answers to that question. I have been asking that among the Christian community for 8 years now without getting an answer that holds water. If I asked "does the Bible support the idea that we live on a motionless plane, with the Sun, Moon, and stars circling around us, I would expect a flurry of Bible verses, since they are there. Going to bed now, but look forward to reading replies tomorrow.

The Bible isn't concerned with scientific discussions of Astronomy. They're TOTALLY UNIMPORTANT to the Bible's central concern, which is the REDEMPTION of humanity, and the cleansing of the SIN thereof.

HUMAN science works on defining such things, and that's not a Biblical issue one way or another.

You said you observed evidence with your own eyes. I presumed it was Earth's curvature you were claiming to have seen, because that seems to be the main point of contention. If not, then by all means, bring it forth. What evidence have you seen with your own eyes of Earth's curvature?

I'm trusting this is real evidence of curvature, and not some indirect observation about the motions of the Heavenly bodies, which can have a variety of explanations and hence would not comprise direct, observable evidence of Earth's curvature.

The sun rising and setting from/to below a flat horizon. An eclipse of the moon. Earthbound pics of shadows in directions impossible on a North-centric flat Earth.

the bible is not central to closing a discussion too, the bible is what you call an open book. That must be opened,

In fact Jesus explains quite a few parables with a scientific view.

Every discussion is not paramount to the main point of the bible. Far from it.

My brother is a pilot and declares that the earth is flat.
He says the reason for perceived curvature is due to the convex windows.

If that was true, if a person looked out the upper part of the window the horizon would be curved upward at the sides. It would look like a bowl.

How do you know? Has anyone actually tried? How about photos of the ice edge? An ordinary plane could take those from a few hundred feet up. Every time, and not just you, I ask for evidence, there is always an excuse. Dorky illustrations are not going to persuade anyone that the earth is flat.

you need to grow up son, and stop associating all your beliefs to being vital to salvation.

You can't keep using this as an argument to justify your cause.

A person can only know there saved. Including you.

Come on son come back to earth and live in it

Can someone who endorses 666 be saved? :eek:

i live in the mountains, high high plains 7-9k feet above sea level.
when something travels overhead, it bows and curves.
if something is flat, no matter if you are BELOW - AT - ABOVE SEA LEVEL, it should appear the same.
the fact it does change as you go UP and DOWN is PROOF of a SPHERE!

don't let the stupid people fool you!

And, don't let them aggravate you. No one's going to convince them, even if they were taken into space to see it for themselves. They would say, "It's a trick! They did something to the windows! That's not really the earth!" People believe what they choose, even if someone would rise from the dead, as it were. Just have fun with it.

I believe in a God whose grandness is capable of producing the kind of universe that astronomers from Galileo on up have described. A universe so terrifying large, with billions (if not more) galaxies -- GALAXIES, not just stars!!! -- in a space at least in the billions of light years wide... Just trying to fathom 500 light years one night started to terrify me. It's HHUUUUUUGGGGGEE!!!!!! Too big for human comprehension. Imagine the flippin' galaxy!!! And, then the distance to our nearest galactic neighbors!!! Never mind across the known universe!!

God is GOD. He is quite capable of producing a universe of incomprehensibly more grandeur than that stupid, infantile flat earth / dome nonsense.

I have no idea what your talking about.

Playing number games is just speculation,

Asking me whether a person can be unsaved for believing speculation is like asking me should I become delusional to answer the question.

I don't see the mark of the beast as 666.

I see the beast making people think that.

And I see the beast making people demonise each other, rather than take the plank out of there own eye.

A bit like what your doing.
