Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

[Nehemiah6]

How so? Did the earth stop rotating - go backwards - then forwards again - just to move the shadow on a sundial back 10 degrees?

That was not the point at all. The existence and function of a sundial corresponds to the earth being a globe.

"When the earth rotates about its axis, the sun appears to “move” across the sky, causing objects to cast shadows. A sundial contains a gnomon, or a thin rod, that casts a shadow onto a platform etched with different times. As the sun changes relative positions over the course of a day, the rod’s shadows change as well, thus reflecting the change in time."
How do sundials work? – Yale Scientific Magazine

The axis exists in the globe, so that is the connection to the sundial.

How did all of that happen without anyone feeling/sensing/noticing it?

Is the God you believe in not all powerful?

PS~ obviously, it was noticed. And recorded.

what importance do you attach to this question?

What Importance do you attach to your response to my post,see?😅

do you believe the grave is the north pole?

Why do people not believe that a Flat Earth would have some depth to it???

 

[GaryA]

I can’t tell if some of you are trolling or not but I also can’t believe that this is a thing in year 2022.

It has "been a thing" since Creation Week - why would it not be this year???














(I could not resist...)

We live in three created spatial dimensions not two.

SMH

Why would anyone think that a Flat Earth would not have a third dimension???

 

[peldom10]

Grabs popcorn, lol. Always intrigues me how anyone would think it flat. But hey, just pray you flat earthers don't fall off the edge, lol. Sorry, just being silly.

Reasonable...because the question is ...."silly".

I wonder how many votes they expect to get? Just saying.

A pizza is both flat and round. Maybe the earth is too.

 

[ChristianTonyB]

Depends. If you are looking at the curved horizon, say from the top of Mt Everest, it will be obvious to you that the earth is not flat. If you are laying on a beach and looking at the horizon, providing it's not masked by pollution, the earth will seem flat to you.

I'm assuming the intent of the op is that depending on our upbringing, or where we are standing at the time, our opinions on spiritual truths can be poles apart. But here's the thing, if we have the Holy Spirit indwelling all of us, and we are all intent on listening to His opinion and not our own, then we will know what is factual and have no confusion or contradictory opinions in our ranks.

Only thirteen votes?I heard a preacher that I Really look up to say that he saw the world and It was flat and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and I wondered,what does the Bible say so this poll was really for polling and not so much for responding although I wanted to see what people had to say?

 

[ChristianTonyB]

Well, I got my assumption wrong on the intent behind the op. Sorry. Any other inference about the post just seemed incomprehensible to me.

Flat earth is spreading like wildfire via social and other media. I don't think anything will stop it. I have suggested to some that they all get on a ship and take a tour inside the Antarctic Circle: when they see the sun make a circle completely around the horizon, that is clear proof for the round Earth. Of course, no one is willing to do that because they don't want their theory exposed.

They typical flat Earth model with the North Pole in the center makes distances in the Southern Hemisphere much greater (up to 2 times more or so) than what they actually are. If you want to know the truth, it is not hard to find it.

For this to have been authentic footage recorded on Christmas Eve:

1) The earth's axis is roughly horizontal in the video frame with North to the left.

2) The footage would have to have been taken from the sun-side of the moon.

3) The moon had to have been well-past lunar sunrise instead of "approaching" it.

4) The surface of the moon should be well-lit with a sun-in-the-sky brightness.

He stretches the northern skies over empty space; he hangs the earth on nothing. ~Job 26:7

​

Ever think that the "northern skies" that He is "stretching" is referring to the dome?

The earth "hangs on nothing" in the FE model.

 

[GaryA]

Since we have to depend on astronomers to provide this kind of information, I guess we have to assume that they are correct when they say that the earth revolves around the sun. Since the sun is not a planet that seems logical.

No - you do not have to assume anything.

But - if you make a bad/false assumption, it can easily lead you into error...

 

[GaryA]

That was not the point at all. The existence and function of a sundial corresponds to the earth being a globe.

No - the existence and function of a sundial corresponds to the position of the sun relative to the sundial.

Ideas connecting it to a globe are assumptions.

The axis exists in the globe, so that is the connection to the sundial.

This is based on assumption.

Is the God you believe in not all powerful?

Do you believe God is "powerful" enough to create a Flat Earth that is stationary and does not move - according to scripture - if He wanted to?

The answer to your question is the same for BE, FE, or any other model.

PS~ obviously, it was noticed. And recorded.

Please give me a validated authentic reference that indicates that the people "who were there" wrote an account whereby they stated that they could actually feel the earth "spin down" to a stop, "spin up" in reverse, "spin down" to a stop again, and then "spin up" to its original speed...

That preacher just may be on to something...

original direction and speed

People are waking up...
