Therein lies the problem here. The issue is not necessarily that we disagree, but rather that you are speaking one language and we are speaking another, and we’re arguing about the usage of words that differ across the linguistic divide. Or, in short, stop criticizing others for speaking a...

You don’t seem to understand the concept of “proof”. One observation of a disputable matter is not proof. One very flawed interpretation of one observation certainly isn’t proof.

In light of the ongoing discussion and evidence presented, your post is not plain proof of anything other than your stubborn unwillingness to learn or admit error.

You're using the wrong formula to calculate "hidden height". Try going to scientific sources instead of Flat-Earth sources to get your maths. Wrongheaded maths are "conclusive proof" of nothing but ignorance.

Um, no, you don't see... yet. John 1:1-3 (NIV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. Nothing that was made was made without Him...

So please answer my questions from post 1005.

"Generally", does not mean "absolutely". ;) I do pay attention to what's happening in the world, and I'm not so stuck on my view of prophetic fulfillment that I would deny such may happen in the future. I do hold that many events prophesied for the "end times" have already taken place. That...

Yes, I am "mighty sure" that the interpretation to which I hold is the correct one. Any commentator or interpreter can be wrong, no matter how "old" their writings. Let's add verse 19 to the conversation (here in the NIV): We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable...

Generally, no.

You are correct here, but you seem intent on picking nits on terminology. Instead of starting with disagreement, start by trying to understand what others are saying. There is usually less need to disagree. ;)

You don’t seem to understand “level”; it is not a synonym of “flat”.

Did God establish the Levitical system in the Law? Yes or No? Was that before or after the captivity?

This verse is much-misinterpreted. The GNB version you quoted is (unfortunately) an excellent example of such, and it seems that version leads directly to your question. The NRSV is much better, but still misrepresents the core concept. The KJV presents the idea soundly: "For the prophecy came...

Then they remain ignorant. Note that the Greek word translated "repent" means literally "to change the mind". ;)

I like to give them opportunity to avoid answering the question. ;)

I'll grant there is evidence that modern Judaism is largely an invention of the Pharisees, but Levitical Judaism is by God's design in the Law. :)

Fallacy: moving the goalposts. First, it's the "South Pole", now, it's "Antarctica".

“Our” worldview is in conflict with basic science? Which science, exactly?

More rank ignorance. There is no need to make allowance for the Earth’s curvature when building such systems because “level” follows the Earth’s curvature perfectly. Engineers and surveyors use “level” as the reference.

With respect, John 1:3 refutes your assertion. If you trace John’s train of thought, you will see that Jesus Christ is the Word Who created all things, and nothing that has been made was made without Him.
