    Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

    So you don't understand it then? Still no answer about what the shape of the earth has to do with salvation and knowing Jesus - or why it is even important. And when you, yourself, have said that the earth is a circle - a circle which is 40,000+ feet deep - why the insistence that it can't be...

    Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

    Revelation wasn't written to teach people about the shape of the earth. Why would it have been? Revelation contains a vision of God, angels, cherubim etc worshipping. It contains letters from Jesus to 7 churches. It tells of how Satan will be finally overthrown, defeated and how there will be a...

    Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

    If you really believe that you have to, or have been told to, do this then I commend you for your obedience. It makes me sad, though, because God's mission for all his people is to preach the Good News and tell them about Jesus. The shape of the earth is not the Gospel. As I have said before...

    Interesting.

    Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

    I'm glad you agree that you are relying only on your senses and not the facts. We can't feel the earth spin because it is so large. You don't SEE them move; you see them in different positions/places in the sky and conclude that they have moved, because you refuse to believe the fact of the...

    Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

    That's because you only look at tennis balls, footballs, ping pong balls or any other ball that you can see. The earth is enormous. The only way to see it is from space - which people have done, and shown us the pictures. But you won't consider photos, eye witness accounts or anything like...

    Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

    Either way, it's still a poetic phrase. The entire sea is not piled up in waves. And it nothing to do with the shape of the earth.

    Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

    God has given men and women the ability to discover his world, how he made it, how it works etc. Experiments and studies have shown us these things - they are not in the Bible. How can God "pile up the waters of the sea" if water finds its own level? Where in the world is there a pile, or heap...

    Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

    As if. If you want serious discussion, there are plenty on here who will give you serious discussion. But this involves; - looking and considering at the arguments for globe earth, instead of posting "fake", "lies", "you don't have the truth" and so on. - being willing to research them...

    Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

    And she's agreed with us. What's more, it's not at all important.

    Human reading bible does not equal God speaking

    When I was a teenager/young adult I was adamant that every word of Scripture was true - so therefore it was literal. And as it was in the Bible - God's word to us - obviously it had to be obeyed by us. But there are a number of things in Scripture that aren't for us - eg Jewish hygiene laws and...

    Human reading bible does not equal God speaking

    Yes, many. But there is a big difference between quoting the Bible and quoting the Bible, in context and with understanding. I'm not saying this to get at you/attack your position, but it's relevant to this thread, so I'll mention it. One of the first things that I learned as a Methodist lay...

    Is God a do as I say not as I do God?

    Agreed. Although those verses are all NT; I'm not sure they saw God in the same way in the OT. I don't know exactly who it is who are putting forward that argument. I don't agree with it and it's not Scriptural. Misunderstanding, doubts and not being able to accept the Good News because of some...

    Human reading bible does not equal God speaking

    I doubt that. I read God's word, buy I'm certainly not God.
