    Ball Earth conundrums

    Memes are not evidence. Show sources. The first picture is obviously not taken at an altitude of 100,000 feet (19 miles). I suspect that an FE proponent started with a plain picture of the Earth and added the erroneous caption in an attempt to delude the thoughtless and ignorant.

    Ball Earth conundrums

    This is good information, as directional information is not needed for the video he posted. It's unfortunate that he didn't show video for that location at sunrise and sunset that same day (with a compass to show direction). Because he doesn't, there isn't plenty of room for the FE proponents to...

    Ball Earth conundrums

    Lunacy or not, BE is consistent with a great amount of actual observation. Your position is based on interpretation, whether your own or that of various translators. That's the root of the tension between Scripture and science: both sides treat their "evidence" as unbiased and free from...

    How do you study the Bible?

    So do you concede that this chapter is not teaching people how to study the Bible? You can't have it both ways.

    Scripture Based Flat Earth Proposition

    Let's determine first whether these "stars" are literal stars in the sky. I suggest that they aren't, but rather they are metaphorical. The entire chapter is metaphorical, so it's unreasonable to pick this one word out and apply a literal interpretation to it.

    Scripture Based Flat Earth Proposition

    Within the firmament... as in clouds. While Genesis 2:5 says it had not rained yet by that time, Scripture says nothing about it not raining at all for several millenia prior to the flood. In 7:4, God tells Noah that it's going to rain, but He doesn't explain what "rain" is, suggesting that Noah...

    Would Jesus drink Alcohol?

    It is the decision of the Moderators, and they don't share their reasons. It may not have anything to do with this thread. It also has nothing to do with "bullies"; people are banned for a variety of reasons, and the Moderators are intelligent people who aren't swayed by popular opinion...

    Would Jesus drink Alcohol?

    But but but... Everyone needs to be a self-righteous tee-totaller like meeee! ;)

    How do you study the Bible?

    13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. It's best not to argue context when you haven't ensured that it...

    How do you study the Bible?

    Read the context! As this chapter is speaking of people who refused to listen to the prophets, it should not be used as any sort of instruction for people who love the Lord and are seeking to learn His word.

    Would Jesus drink Alcohol?

    Christians are not given specific instruction to avoid alcohol, nor for any other aspect of our priesthood. It’s speculation to assume that the instructions for OT priests should be applied.

    Ball Earth conundrums

    Presuming that the Earth stopped, and not the sun… as the text states. It’s inconsistent to argue flat earth on the basis of the text and the conveniently ignore the text when it doesn’t fit your theory. ;)

    Ball Earth conundrums

    I'll give credit where due: I do respect you, Gary, even though we disagree on a few matters. Generally, your comments towards me and our interaction in general have been respectful. I can't say the same for any other flat-earth proponent, though Moses has occasionally engaged in respectful...

    What if God had written IN STONE?

    Yet you asked “When…” undermining your argument.

    Would Jesus drink Alcohol?

    Mormon ‘biblical’ perhaps, but certainly not Christian biblical. Your self-righteousness and borderline heresy certainly indicate your understanding od Scripture is limited.

    What if God had written IN STONE?

    As I didn’t say they aren’t, I’m not wrong.

    Ball Earth conundrums

    Stupidity at its saddest. Things don't move without application of a force. What is the force that causes more-dense things to go down?

    What if God had written IN STONE?

    You are a stubborn, unteachable fool.
