Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

NASA approves of this message.

There are many space agencies besides NASA. Its your choice of course if you choose to live in the dark ages.

FAQ: If the Earth is a sphere spinning 1,040 mph at the equator, then why
doesn't centrifugal force throw the oceans off in to space? or why doesn't
centrifugal force throw everybody off into space?

REPLY: The Earth is a huge mass of material whose gravity is stronger than
centrifugal force; which why an escape velocity approaching 25,000 mph is
required to get things off the ground and out into orbit. Most commercial
airliners fly quite a bit less than 1,000 mph so they have no trouble keeping
themselves here. Even the old supersonic Concorde (1300+ mph) flew well
below escape velocity.

pseudo grains? whats that. Never heard of them.

Probably similar to pseudo meat.

A plane would never be able to land on a spinning ball because of the friction. If you pour water on a spinning ball, you will never again believe that a plane can land on a spinning ball.

The problem is that the water you are pouring is not spinning at the same rate as the ball. In fact, it is not spinning at all. In the plane example, the plane at take-off is already moving at the same rate as a spinning earth plus the speed of the plane. The speed of the plane is adjusted to match what appears to be a stationary runway.

I have posted corrections to these claims many times, and you stubbornly refuse to accept them. You are incorrect and no amount of repetition will change that.

Of course, you will post a red "X" on this. However, you have not and cannot refute the truth. Repeating your error only reflects poorly on you. Refusing to learn or even investigate is simply shameful.

Dino, you create the best laughs on here, especially with this = "you have not and cannot refute the truth."

God's word is Truth and those of us who know and believe "every word of God" are laughing all the way to the Eternal Bank.............

Gravity cannot be proven and never will be = go buy a helium balloon and let it go and carefully observe.

Perhaps you haven't done any air travel & you like playing with your balls. I'll stick with what I know to be true since I've landed on the God-created revolving Earth numerous times.

Should I report this post - or, would you like to explain just exactly why you could not have possibly used different wording to get across what you were intending to say?

Is your real intent to see if you can/could "get away with it" while taking a jab at another member of the site and making it appear to be an innocent mistake? If so, you should be reprimanded for purposely doing so on a Christian site.

If it somehow really is an innocent mistake - then, you really need to give more consideration to how what you write may appear to others.

 

[GaryA]

I know innocent mistakes can happen - I have probably made some myself. However, we should all strive to avoid [even] "the appearance of evil" when we post on this site. As much as reasonably possible, let's try to keep it 'family friendly'.

Yawn. I grow tired of your stubborn folly.

Antarctica is a donut!

A square donut with a round hole in the center.

Anyone who is not capable and willing to consider 'Flat Earth' from within the 'Flat Earth' model - why are you [even] in this thread???

We can't look at a flat earth model until there is one.

Then - why are you [even] in this thread???

Just feel like trolling...???

 

[Lanolin]

Im going to teach this new fangled flat earth theory to my children and see what they think.

Some words of God for you to ponder = Amos 9:1-2

Amos 9:1-2

I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and He said:
“Strike the oorposts, that the thresholds may shake,
And break them on the heads of them all.
I will slay the last of them with the sword.
He who flees from them shall not get away,
And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered.

“Though they dig into hell,
From there My hand shall take them;
Though they climb up to heaven,
From there I will bring them down;"

Don't drink the Cool-Aid from NASA and the World = "we will build a city and a tower unto heaven".

Your arguments are absurd. There is not a shred of actual fact in anything that FE people proffer as evidence. Misunderstood and irrelevant Bible verses have nothing to do with the shape of the earth.

 

[RaceRunner]

It's sad that you think you're witty....

You claim that a plane cannot land on a moving earth, but it can land on a moving carrier. Your illogic isn't even internally consistent.

A plane can't land on a spinning ball; a plane can land on an aircraft carrier because it's not spinning.

 

[Gideon300]

My post (that you quoted) was not about 'proof' or 'evidence' - except for that which is supplied by 'faith'.

It was about believing what the Bible tells us.

Except the Bible does not tell us that the earth is flat.

I truly believe that there is presently a detrimentally serious amount of cognitive dissonance - which is afflicting many...

We need to continue to not let them think they will get away with their cognitive dissonance; we will contunue to let them expose themselves.

The devil took Jesus up into a very high mountain and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE IF THE EARTH IS A GLOBE.

Matthew 4:8
Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them

Luke 4:5
And the devil led him into a high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time;

There is nothing that you can say that will change the truth. I don't have an answer for that verse. There is much in the Bible that I do not understand. However, I do know that the earth is a globe. I do know that born again Christians have stood on the surface of the moon and observed the globe earth. I do know that over 600 people have been into space and seen the globe earth. I do know that some people are observing the globe earth right this minute. I do know that the ancient Greeks calculated the circumference of the earth almost exactly. I've observed the curvature of the earth myself and I know enough about microwaves to know that the earth must be a globe.

This would be hilarious if it was not so pathetic. FE people are those who suffer from cognitive dissonance.

Keep going.

lol...

The last time you actually learned something, did you recognize along the way that you didn't know it previously? If so, ponder that sensation. It should be more familiar to you.

I'm glad you recognize that.

Now apply it to yourself first.

Cognitive dissonance is only possible on a round spinning earth.
