Flat Earth is a heathen myth that was never endorsed by the medieval church. It's stupid how people still love to sladner the Catholic Church or even the Christian religion as a whole with this garbage libel.

I disapprove of what you say,
But I will defend to the death your right to say it.
( Evelyn Beatrice Hall / The Friends Of Voltaire )

Some of you folk need to lighten up and stop being so judgmental.

Do you see how that the sunlight is continuous (space and time) from-pole-to-pole at the equinox points of the cycle?

Do you see how the context of this occurrence is identical for both Spring and Autumn?

If this were the reality, the climate would be identical for Spring and Autumn. (But, it is not.)

If this were the reality, the climate would be identical for the North region in Summer and the South region in Winter. (But, it is not.)


Day/night lengths are equal & opposite.

You are substituting CLIMATE for duration of day & night in an attempted sleight-of-hand that fails.
I'm sure you must be aware that there are more contributing factors to CLIMATE.

From Post No.1600

Airplane A takes off from Miami at 200 mph

Airplane B takes off from Miami one hour later at 300 mph

How long will it take B to catch up with A, and how far from Miami?


Solution:

Plane A will be 200 miles from Miami when plane B takes off.

The difference in their speeds is 100 mph

So although plane B is flying at 300 mph, it will be closing with plane A at
only 100 mph, so it will take plane B two hours to catch up.

Meanwhile, plane A will have traveled another 400 miles in those two hours.

The planes will rendezvous 600 miles from Miami.

The Babylonians, DavidTree is referring to, are Satanic.
The one known Babylonian Map of the world resides at The British Museum. https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/W_1882-0714-509




Clay tablet; map of the world; shows the world as a disc, surrounded by a ring of water called the "Bitter River"

It's a geocentric flat-earth map.
I wonder if dogmatic flat-earthers would like to change their narrative accordingly?? ;)

Is the FE model not "Babylonian" & by extension "Satanic" :devilish:- By FE standards?

So what? Satan quoted the Bible to Jesus in the temptation in the wilderness. Does that make the Bible false?
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;

oops! The brain buster in post No.1599 is worded wrong. Here's the
corrected version.


Airplane A takes off from Miami at 200 mph

Airplane B takes off from Miami one hour later at 300 mph

How long will it take B to catch up with A, and how far from Miami?

Your answer depends on if you believe the earth is a globe and is spinning and in which one direction the earth is spinning.

What makes you think the very high mountain is a literal mountain?

So do I but waht makes you think it was a literal mountain on The Earth?
Now that you know those two scripture verses could not have taken place on a spinning ball/globe earth, you have no excuse if you still believe the earth is a spinning ball/globe earth.

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

The devil took Jesus up to a very high mountain to show him the kingdoms of the world; this very act of taking Jesus to a high place to show him the kingdoms of the world proves the earth is not a globe.

I'm not trying to be flippant, but do you believe you are actually a sheep? Or that Job actually saw God with his eyes?
God has used many literary devices in scripture.

If Jesus was shown all the kingdoms of the world in a moment, it's quite obvious that it was a vision not a physical view.

If it was a literal mountain, where is this mountain?
And if The Earth is flat, why can't anyone on Earth see it now?

Jesus was shown all the kingdoms of the world in a moment from on top of a mountain; Jesus was able to use the mountain to see all of these kingdoms at once because of its height.

Jesus saw all the kingdoms of the world in a vision, from on top of a mountain, because He saw much further in the flat plane than we do. We didn't receive the vision Jesus did.

God has used many literary devices in scripture.
The reason God used the word "mountain" in these two scripture verses is, so no one gets confused and actually thinks the earth is a globe/spinning ball.
