Flat Earth Theory.

[prodromos]

I pray that the billions of people wake up to their delusions

There aren't that many of you

That's probably because you are not listening.

I fear you never will.

But don't worry, it makes no difference to your salvation.

Sure you do, you just will not admit it.

You seem very sure that a fellow Christian is lying to you.
I'd be careful, if I were you.

 

[Apple Sky]

There aren't that many of you

When it comes to the moon landings I'd say it's 50/50, the flat earth, I'd say 30 %

Careful about what, you think christians are beyond lying..

Firstly f/e's believe there is a hard dome/firmament over the earth & that there are no planets & they are just stars, but this is not what they tell us, they need their planets and their star trek space to fool the world into believing that aliens do exist & may invade earth.
I know this might sound a bit far fetched but there is a possibility that this may happen.

But don't worry it'll all be fake

Actually, no. Its not needed to "fake" planets, stars, galaxies, globe etc for an alien invasion.

Remember reading the Bible? You can have a flat earth concept and still believe in alien invasions, read Genesis 6 - the sons of God. Or read about any angels. Only the definition of the aliens will slightly differ, thats not a reason for such massive change in cosmology.

So again, your reasoning is wrong.

And non-Christians do not have to be liars. Actually, quite a lot of them are honest people, not less than average Christians.

The statement was;

No one demands it of creation.

And you replied;

Sure you do, you just will not admit it.​

So you are saying that you seem to know what @prodromos is thinking, that he, or she, really does know the "truth", as you see it, but doesn't want to admit to it.

You are not a mind reader, nor a prophet; you don't know what someone else is thinking. Why would they lie to themselves? Why would they not want to "admit" to something that has absolutely nothing to do with salvation or affects our Christian faith?

Given the right situation any person can be a liar

No never said i know what he is thinking, but after about 2-3 years of back and forths with this poster. I believe the poster would only believe Genesis's creation account (and other Biblical areas) if they only lined up with what science states.

For that fact that includes anyone who believes science's version, so you can be added to the list also.

What puzzles me is why do you globe earth believers. Just admit you do not believe the creation account as given in The Bible. Instead of saying it is just poetry or teaching spiritual truths and is a parable or metaphorical. I mean do you think you are pulling one over on God by making Genesis 1 into a poem.

Its not a poetry, its rather a mythological drama (Gen 1) and mythological narrative (Gen 2).

And, as is the nature of mythology, it does not teach literal, technical processes. It teaches relationships, principles.

So its you, who is reading Genesis wrong.

No never said i know what he is thinking,

Prodromos said;
"we don't regard creation like that" (or words to that effect).
You replied; "sure you do, you just won't admit it.".
In other words, you certainly do regard creation in that way, you are just trying not to admit it.

Someone said they do not regard something in a certain way; you contradicted them.
Sounds like you think you know how they see things better than they do.

I am a globe earth believer; I believe Genesis 1.

So the moon is a created light and does not reflect the light of the sun. Because that is what Genesis 1 is saying God created two great lights (sun and moon) and not a great light and a great light reflector

But that's still a form of poetry right?

But can't a reflection of light still be considered light? the Bible doesn't need to make it clear that the lesser light is a reflection of the greater light for it to be true right?

The assumption you are making here is that the Hebrew word for 'light' always means that an object is its own origin of light. It does not. In the verse below it is used to figuratively talk about the light of the eyes:

"The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat." Proverbs 15:30 KJV

The word Hebrew word for 'light' is not as definitive as you are trying to make it.
