Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

Friend, the Bible exists unquestion and unchanged. Your 'science' books change more often than I change toilet paper rolls. The Holy Bible is His inerrant Word.
God has come to you, you just ignore Him like you ignore all the world around you. He has not killed you because He gives you the choice, Heaven or Hell. I think we all know what your choice is (and it is not Heaven).

You're acting as if it's a bad thing that science books change? The whole point of science is to find out new things and if these new things refute the old things, we chuck them out. It's clear that religion doesn't do that. There's irrefutable proof that the Earth is round, the sun is the centre of the solar system and the Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Yet the Bible is still lagging behind.

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

Just because you have not been struck by lightening or hit by a bus does not mean that God does not exist. This logic is flawed and you know it. Just because you have not been attacked by a bear or a shark, does not mean that such an attack is impossible. And the likelihood or lack thereof of such tragic events in your life has nothing to do with wheather God does or does not exist. Psalm 19 is a great testimony to God's existence as is Romans 1:20.

I never claimed God doesn't exist because I haven't been hit by a bus or struck by lightning etc. I mean the opposite. I haven't been struck by lightning or hit by a bus BECAUSE he doesn't exist. I'm aware that these things can and do happen, however, if they do, it's because a shit-load of static electricity got stored up in clouds and needed to be released and I was in the way of them. Or, a clumsy bus driver was too busy thinking about the price of beans in Yugoslavia to realise I was crossing the road. Not because of god.

The Bible is not lagging, the Word of God STANDS IMMOVABLE just as God Himself is unchanging, which is one of His attributes. James 1:17 testifies to that.

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

...if they just accepted that people believe different things...

...It's because he doesn't exist.

Does anyone else see the hypocrisy here?

...There's irrefutable proof that the Earth is round...

Oy vey. I thought we'd already covered that. Go ahead, keep complaining that people aren't listening to you.

Friend, it is not bad when a book changes because it has errors. That is good. The thing is, the Bible never changes. Because it was reviewed by the entity that created EVERYTHING.

Tell me friend, would you like a Road Map of Life® that is always correct or one that is always wrong? Everyone knows, today's science books are tomorrows fodder for laughter and ridicule.

The only reason I said.......... It's because he doesn't exist.

I never claimed God doesn't exist ...........

Forgive me friend, but you have me a bit confused. Do things change just to suit you or is there some basis for your comment that He both does and does not exist? I think you have a paradox. You are making it hard to beleive anything you are saying. Where do the lies end and the Truth(c) begin, friend?

Well God changed His mind several times in the Bible. What if He changes His mind again?

Friend, it is impossible for God to change His mind. Only when we think we know better than Him, does such a foolish thought enter our minds.

Isaiah 46:9-10 "Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:"

But by all minds, convince us that this precious Scripture can be reconciled with God "changing His mind". We'll wait.

God showed mercy and answered His people's prayers, sometimes He had pity... Look at Genesis 6:6, Jonah 3:10, and Exodus 32:14. It has nothing to do with His unchanging nature and His unchanging Word. God is immutable. Malachi 3:6, Numbers 23:19, James 1:17.

No friend, there is only one Bible. However, if God chooses to change His mind (perhaps to cleanse the Earth again as He did with Noah) who are we to question Him? Any action by Him is Divine and Perfect(c). All True Christians(tm) would be FasTracked(r) to Heaven, come the glory!

What if He does it without telling you. FasTracked® to HELL!

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

... Firstly, if you were to look out at the sea, you'd obviously see the horizon. Now, if a ship were to travel toward you, you'd see the front of it first before other parts of it are even visible. This is because the curvature of the Earth has made it impossible to see. Now, if you can explain this phenomenon to me using flat Earth "logic", go for it.

Naturally you would see the front of the ship first if it were traveling toward you! Do they remove your common sense in public school? If I am walking toward you in a room, you are going to see my face (front) before you see my sides or my back. Did that just 'prove' the room is curved? No, it did not.

To our finite and puny human perception it may seem that God changed His mind, but in reality it was part of His Grand Plan all along. We humans simply lack the wisdom and omniscience to grasp this.

That's the thing, friend, God does not bring "surprises" on His children. Lamentations 3:21-23 speaks of His mercies which are new every morning. Deuteronomy 7:9 reminds of His faithfulness to His children. That is why it is such a good idea to choose to be on His side and to be His child as opposed to His enemy.

Friend, If you'd copied the rest of the second quote you would have realised its context. "I never claimed God doesn't exist because I haven't been hit by a bus or struck by lightning etc."

Please read the whole thing.
