We live in a fallen world, with fallen natures, not a paradise but a cesspool run by none other than Satan himself. Our enemies, the world and the devil, exist in complete opposition to everything that is holy and good and true.
Yes.
But that has nothing at all to do with the shape of the earth.
Our enemy the flesh is so easily tempted and corrupted that we must continually guard our hearts and minds against not only the world and the devil, but our own vain thoughts and imaginations. And yet, in light of these obvious spiritual realities, your average believer cannot even allow for the possibility that this evil and fallen world in which we live, just may be misrepresenting Gods creation,
I would say that 100% of Flat Earthers cannot even allow for the possibility that God created the world to be a globe. Nor that the shape of the earth has nothing at all to do with our faith or salvation.
Of course, some Flat Earthers may not believe in God at all. They would not be saved, even though they completely agreed with you about the shape of the earth - which proves my point.
Enemies sent by the devil himself to stir up division? No to all of these.
I don't believe you were
sent by the devil. But I do believe there is nothing the devil likes more than an academic argument that does no good at all, and keeps people away from the cross.
How many pages - on all sections of these forums - have been used in discussing the shape of the earth?
How many times have Flat Earthers said, "well, I don't share your views, but let's celebrate Jesus ad what he is doing in our lives"?
I can't speak for anyone else, though I know enough people who share my views to confidently say, we are here because at some point in our lives we realized that this world is an empire of lies, ruled by none other than the father of lies, and that a great deal of what we have been told our entire lives served no other purpose than to distract and deceive us into accepting and believing even more lies which would eventually separate us from any knowledge of Almighty God,
But the shape of the earth doesn't do that.
I am a Christian.
I believe that God created the universe, as described in Genesis 1.
I also accept what I was told my science teachers, science textbooks, my parents etc etc that the earth is a globe.
I have already said this to another Flat Earther and been told, "you can't do." They, you and any other FE-ers have to accept that I do. I, and possibly, millions of other Christians, worship, pray to, believe in and serve the God who made the earth to be a globe. In his sight, we are just as saved, valued and loved as those of you who believe the earth to be flat.
Satan is corrupting, and has corrupted, Christian values. The teaching of the world is that "you are what you own/have achieved. That the first will be first. That if something feels right, do it." Sex before marriage is now seen as the norm. "Everybody" gets creative with their expenses, takes a "sickie" occasionally and so on. The devil has also promoted the outrageous lie that "little" sins don't matter. And that it doesn't matter if you don't believe; if you do good deeds, that will be enough to "get you into heaven."
All of this is a lie from the evil one - it has nothing whatsoever to do with the shape of the earth.
That what you call science, and established facts have already had this effect is beyond dispute.
There are scientists who are also Christians.
There are people who became Christians, discovered they had an interest in/gift for science and went off to study it further. And there are scientists who became Christians because their work strongly suggested to them that there was a Creator behind it all.
And the God given ability to question those things which we can observably see as unsupported by the commonly accepted answers provided by the so called scientific community and generally accepted by the indoctrinated public at large.
And God also gave people the ability to discover, to experiment, to make discoveries and conclude that the earth is a globe.
I suspect that the answer to some of your unanswered, Flat Earth questions is that what you are asking is not possible on a flat earth. That people can't find proof because there isn't any; that such a thing only goes to prove that the earth is, in fact, a globe.
But they won't/can't admit to it.
