I have told you before i do not not fly, but if i did i would address the flying questions. That is after i flew on many flights seeing for myself the paths airplanes take. But what ever they are they are flying over a flat and stationary earth.

As for salvation issues i do not subscribe to your orthodox beliefs, i stick with The Bible when it comes to Eternal Life and God's creation accounts. If you want to venture into men and their ways fine with me.

Waw, that is a very closed minded reply!!!

Your beliefs of a flat earth are based on 'your' interpretation of God's word. Nothing else!

God gave us wisdom too. He didnt create us to be closed minded about His creation!

God's creation cannot be explained in one chapter of a book!

Look up into the night sky my friend. Do you see any flat stars, planets, moons etc?

After pretty rigorous study about this I concluded that flat earthers have zero scientific evidence of the earth being flat other than 'it looks like it to me'. The map that goes along with the theory was originally created and used by globe-earthers, called an azimuthal equidistant projection, the flat earthers can't even come up with their own map! It's laughable because if you use the projection map with the ice wall you'd have to believe Australia doesn't exist! On that map it's completely stretched out and looks nothing like it does in real life. A lot of flat earthers just simply deny Australia because it doesn't fit their theory. Anytime you bring up something that denies their theory they change topics as well. Very common tactic. I think it's a psyop.
The earth doesn't even look flat, if you look closely enough.

Have you not figured it out yet, what i believe about The Bible is not the same as you. That not only goes for God's creation accounts but for many other areas too, like how a person receives God's free gift of Eternal Life and becomes a born again child of God.

So you can keep posting this interpretation message all you want, but it is not going to change the fact, i do not have and do not share the same Biblical beliefs as you do.

It means, you interpret God's word very differently to the vast majority of Christians. You read into, and out of it, untruths about a supposed flat earth which goes against true Christian brliefs.

God didnt create a flat earth. He didnt make a moon that produces its own light! The only way you see that is through 'YOUR' unique interpretation of scripture. Your interpretation are TOTALLY unbiblical and unscientific my friend.

The problem is that you are incapable of unbiased interpretation of what you observe, just like your photos of the 'stars' Jupiter and Saturn.

The only reason i can't believe it is the telescope views. Sure,they can be FABRICATED but it would mean all would have to be. it would eliminate, i forgot the word, what keeps us on the ground from floating away.

But silicon isn't mentioned in the Scriptures anywhere, yet you seem happy to recognise it as an element with certain properties which enable the manufacture of the components in your camera and computer. Why the double standard?
Just because planets aren't mentioned in the Scriptures why do you insist on calling them after one of the things that is?

I am addressing components of creation that God actually created.

About God's creation, no not in just one post before. But my beliefs are based on simply believing what is stated in The Bible. For an example in The Bible it is stated God created two great lights. So i believe that verse as is stated, that God actually created two great lights, the sun and moon.

So i do not let science affect my reading interpretation of Bible creation verses. So i do not believe God created the sun which is a great light and then turn around and say the moon is not actually a light but reflects the light of the sun.

The Bible plainly states God created two great lights and not a great light and a light reflector.

God didn't create everything?
That's news to me.

So you are in effect saying that there are things other than God which are eternal.

These same people think that chocolate milk comes from brown Jerseys cows...
That is so funny because flat Earth people have no concept of reality. They think our Earth is flat while [eop;e have been looking at round planets by telescope for literally a couple thousand years. It's like flat Earth people believe in what they think they have read more than what their eye can see in real-time. Especially when considering computerized telescopes that have been launched into outer space and get into the actual orbit of other planets. I don't know whether to feel sorry for these delusional people or to laugh at them for being so inept at using their eyeballs. I guess at the end of the day I feel sorry for them because they don't seem to be capable of understanding reality. That has to be hard on a peron.

It really must bother you that God's creation account in The Bible, is not the same one that science states is God's creation (well science does not actually say God's creation but the evolved state)

It's not "Especially when considering computerized telescopes that have been launched into outer space...." it's "especially when people discovered thousands of years ago that the Earth was spheroidal through totally not technical means...just being careful observers of nature."

And that the concept of a flat earth as actual doctrine is only a couple of hundred years old.

Nope.
When I look at the extent of what we can observe of the Kosmos, it leaves me in awe and wonder at the creator. You, on the other hand, believe the extent of God's creation is basically an oversized snow globe. Pretty much the same as what primitive pagans believed.

I find it amusing how most people get really up in arms about that whole discussion, vehemently defending one side or the other as if their lives were on the line or something, and as if they're all specialists who studied the issue for decades and are 100% sure of their opinion.

I've looked into the subject a lot and I honestly say: I don't know. Really not sure. I've seen good arguments from both sides and no real apodictic proof on either of them.

Christians should strive not to be divided by such issues (Titus 3:9-11).
At its very root, flat earth teaching is demonic. I know one flat earth Christian whose health is deteriorating and she wonders why God does not heal her.
"It does not matter" flies in the face of TRUTH and denies the veracity of God's word.
