Does the Bible support the idea of a spinning ball earth flying through space, or is that a Satanic, Masonic lie?

Possibly his concern is over the salvation of people who think the earth is a sphere. RR has posted a couple of recent threads about heresies, questioning whether people who believe any heresy can be saved. Perhaps he thinks that believing the earth is a sphere is heresy, and anyone who subscribes to it is not saved.

Maybe he's trying to save us. :)

That may be the case, and I've allready gathered that from past posts.

I know he believes if a person dies in heresy there dammed.

I really believe God is intelligent enough and has the means to know if such person may have believed in innocence.

I would of thought 99 percent of Christians here not believing as he does,

or prepared to change there minds, should be enough to have give it up allready.

For that reason I say this is bordering on OCD.

He should let it go as God is not going to dam a person for something they believe on good faith such as the earth being round. 😊

I know that one has integrity, one does not, and one still has the chance to prove whether he does, but it doesn’t look promising.

Some of those are space shots, and some are 3D renders (e.g., the 2002 "earth"; the 1997, and 2007 also look rendered, but I could be wrong). It also can depend on the camera, the light frequencies it's designed to "see", etc. This is false evidence.

Yes, the Bible does portray the earth as flat because that's what the writers thought.

Matthew 24:

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

So - when Jesus states plainly that stars shall fall from heaven - you are just not willing to believe it?

For the moment - forget about Flat Earth. My point-of-the-moment is about the stars falling from heaven and believing what the Bible actually says.

You may certainly entertain the suggestion that John - while seeing a vision - saw something that he thought was a star - and, therefore, wrote 'star'.

(Albeit, scripture itself completely invalidates that suggestion.)

However, you cannot properly apply this thought process to the statement Jesus made in the Olivet Discourse.

When Jesus said 'stars' - He meant real actual 'stars'.

Jesus said that stars shall fall from heaven. Real actual stars.

The very things we see twinkle up in the night sky - whether angels or not - will one day fall from heaven to the earth. Because, Jesus said so.

There is no "something that He thought was a star" in His statement. He was/is stating a fact.

He is speaking of real actual stars falling from heaven to the earth.

Let that sink in a while...

The 'sun', 'moon', and 'stars' are equally literal. None of them are figurative. He is talking about the real actual 'sun', 'moon', and 'stars'.

Those who have a true desire to know the truth - "even if it hurts" - are "way ahead of the rest" of those who do not care enough to put forth the effort to even make an attempt to try to understand the truth.

My statement quoted in the previous post was not specific to Flat Earth; rather, it was more generalized to 'difficult' Bible verses/passages - including but not limited to Flat Earth associated verses/passages.

What part of all of this do you not understand???

Do you really think that people just thought that Jesus said 'stars'? Did they also just think that He said 'sun' and 'moon' too?

Jesus said 'sun'. He meant 'sun'.
Jesus said 'moon'. He meant 'moon'.
Jesus said 'stars'. He meant 'stars'.

It is that simple.

i understand what you're saying: good point
but
it's not a Salvation issue. we all can be wrong about it and it won't matter in our Salvation determination one bit.

to be so focused, you discover a revelation that no one else will ever receive. naturally, it's your Calling. in fact, a skilled mental midget, has the innate ability to decipher a series of voices he's in conversation with, before settling upon the one, who offers the most logical response. like a vision channel of correct responses and he waits until one specifically matches the problem. heresy, is a game of chess. how much Bible equals a Truth? he's a algorithm rotating through every Doctrine.

does anyone actually know what he believes?
