Flat Earth? Hell Yes!

What does the lie of space exploration have to do with God? I never said that the goal of claiming to go to the moon had one thing to do with God.

As for your so-called logic:

Has a dollar of government money ever been misappropriated?

Has the government ever engaged in covert operations?

Has anybody ever embezzled funds, for that matter?

Now that the money issue has been cleared up, upon what do you base your belief that people have been to the moon?

[Pastor Nereu Gargalo]

It is God that holds the Earth in place and us upon it. This was proven years ago by a gentleman named Peter Higgs of Edinburgh university. The God particle not only proves God's existence, it proves He holds our flat Earth in place and us upon it.

PRAISE!


Some people are simply uneducated. It is that simple.

Because you never fell off any edges, you would assume that the world is indeed spherical.

Original heading relative to what? If the Earth is a disk with magnetic north in the center, and you are using a compass to maintain your heading, then you will end up back where you started even though you did not circumnavigate a sphere.

I think this is the one thing that I don't like about this church.
You're telling everyone that this church follows the bible and the bible only which is a good thing, men corrupt and lie so it's a good thing that there should be no one telling you how to act or how you should read the book.
But along comes this one man and says that the earth is flat and all of you are willing to give up your knowledge maybe even your lives to defend this person.
It doesn't say anywhere in the bible that the earth is flat nor does all the scientific research that's been gathered so far.
The worst thing is that people doesn't use the bible as a "How to get into heaven" but more as the law and they use every loophole they can find like this whole "four corners of the Earth" and "to the ends of the earth" business that born again bob is talking about.

The point is I'm not gonna deny you your believes even the ignorant and compassionate onces but if you do so in a way that doesn't even make sense in your own logic then I have to step in.
Unless it says, black on white, in the king james bible "The earth is flat" or "God made the earth flat" or even "God said to Jesus/Moses "Jesus/Moses the earth is flat just as I intended it to be"" then you've have no reason to believe that the earth is flat.
Please post scripture to prove it.

Yes, light can be effected by gravity that is true but the sere amount of mass needed to make light make a 360° is almost impossible, even the sun who's 109 times large than the earth can only bend light by a couple degrees, a black hole could maybe bend is 10-20° and if the earth was anything like a black hole then whether the earth was flat or not would be the last of our problems.

Although Jesus was resurrected, I don't think he'd approve of you resurrecting this necro-post. There's plenty of current discussion on this True Science™ topic.

To entertain your statements here - any formulas pertaining to gravity, centripetal acceleration, elliptical orbits, formulaic mass equation, etc. are classified as pure apostate garbage. We've proven, beyond any doubt, that your scientific theory completely contradicts the truth of God's word; and we've endeavored to rebuke your fallacious claims. Whether or not you're too blind to see this, rests upon you.

Furthermore, here's your Biblical evidence for a flat earth:
(Note: It refers to the Earth as a circle that is flat - never once, is a sphere suggested or implied).

I suggest you direct your attention to the above link.

Ok, i'm asking you:

If the earth is flat, can people live on the opposite side?

You will answer "No they would just fall off".

I ask, how come the entire earth doesn't fall then? And the same with the sun?

That's the stupidest question ever. Do you see the earth and the sun falling thru space? No? Then shut up.

First of all, I think you'll agree that it makes no difference what scientific research suggests, because that would mean evilution was real, and the Earth was, like, a million and one years old. That would boldly contradict the Bible. So let's throw science right out the window first of all.

Second, if the Earth was a sphere, then how could it have ends?

Job 38:13 13 That it might take hold of the ENDS OF THE EARTH, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?


Jeremiah 16:19 19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ENDS OF THE EARTH, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

How could it have corners?

Isaiah 11:12 12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH.

Revelation 7:1 (King James Version) 1And after these things I saw four angels standing on the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

How could the whole world be visible from a single point of high elevation?


Matthew 4:8 (King James Version) 8Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

So the Bible does say that the Earth is flat. You stand corrected.

[Joshua Godwins]

The Biblical evidence for a flat earth is undeniable. The Bible is 100% correct in all ways, therefore the earth is indeed flat.
