Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

LOL, I almost bust a gut on that one. QuiteStupid. You really fulfill your destiny, I tell you. Are you a famous comedienne?

If the sun were that large, the Earth would be scorched. You crack me up! How do you come up with this stuff, it is priceless!

I didn't think I'd get judged by People of God for my Microsoft Paint drawing skills. How big do you think the Sun really is?

Go outside and check for yourself. It is the big yellow circle in the sky.

Sorry about degrading your skills, but you got to admit, it is incredibly ridiculous, like watching one of those jap Godzilla movies. So bad they are funny.

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

Son, obviously you have no understanding of the principals involved. Even spherical Earth people know the longer the distance, the greater the heat lost. The rays to the edges of the firmament are longer. No let the adults talk. You can stay and listen if you behave.

Yes, the longer the distance, the colder it gets (also has to do with how much atmosphere the heat energy must pass through and refraction angles that simply wouldn't exist on flat earth).
The shortest distance from the sun to your flat earth, by the diagram you posted, is from the north pole to the sun. I am not speaking of the antarctic, for that, by the flat earth logic, would be colder, HOWEVER, the arctic circle, aka, north, canada, russia, etc, by that map, gets the direct shot of sun.
This is not the case.
Please do not patronize me. It is unkind, insulting, and un-Christian.

You're saying we'd get scorched in MY drawing? If the sun was 500 miles away, the Earth wouldn't exist. Water would evaporate, and it would be too hot to rain down again.

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

I did read your writings. As I said there have be old stories of people sailing off the edge of the earth.

Why would anyone want to go to the edge of the earth and risk falling off. If people really want to see what they edge of the world would be like, they can just go to a cliff and see what it would look like.



Why cannot I agree there are satellites. You may as well just say I cannot agree there is the sun and moon. Are you just wanting to have an argument for arguments sake.

Actually, I guarantee you people would travel there. Why risk walking to the edge of a cliff. You could fall off that too, and die. It's no less dangerous. I have found a hole in your logic.

There are satellites and you started to use them in an argument. You cannot refute them if you didn't in the first place. I proved you wrong and you decided to walk around it.
I am arguing for the sake of truth, not for the sake of arguing.

and LEVI sorry for missing your question! Overlooked it. Apologies

The circle of the earth. Nowhere does it say it's a globe.

Revelation 1:7 tells us,
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

How could every eye in the world see Jesus return in the clouds if the earth was a globe? Wouldn't the people on the other side not be able to?

There are many other possibilities. The would all see him at different times. It is possible that Jesus could appear to people in multiple places at once, or just circumnavigate the globe.
In theory, he'd even have to move around flat earth for everyone to see him.
Also, Jesus could appear in the MIND as a vision. Being all of God, surely this is not beyond the divine power.

LOL, you think the North pole is at the center of the Earth? Child, the North Pole is at the top of the Earth, the South at the bottom. The Center of the Earth is closest to the sun, the outer edges of the firmament are furthest away.

You really have no idea what you are talking about. Think next time before you type. For all of eternity, you will be giving all future readers a great giggle.

The sun is a very small object. I bet it would easily fit into a football stadium. According to Pastor Ruben's infallible calculations, at 500 miles in the sky, the size that we see when we look up is about right. According to your 'stories' the sun would be so huge that is would fill the entire sky, and we all know, this simply is not true.

You have not found a hole in my logic. You are just grasping at straws. If there was such a demand to venture to the edge of the world then there would be travel packages. Also think about the risks involved, no insurance company could afford the cost of people falling of the edge of the world.

I have never once said satellites do not exist. You are the one saying they cannot because the earth is flat. Just because the earth is not a sphere does not mean they do not exist. Do not twist my words or what I am telling you.

Well, if that was the case, all the water would flow off the Earth, which even if it replenished itself, would cause massive current problems that would vastly re-shape the world. Here is a map of currents: http://www.physicalgeography.net/fun...ancurrents.gif
These are constant. If the world was flat, the water would flow off of it.
I am admittedly not overtly familiar with the Flat earth, but your attitude is not positive, accepting, or Christian. If you were trying to actually spread the word, you would kindly correct my mistakes. Instead you mock me. Mockery is unkind and uncalled for. It makes you look uncivil.

Pardon me on the Satellites thing, it was a misread.

Also, people travel to places with cliffs all the time. The edge of the earth would be, at least, a place for rich, high-adventurers to go to. People LOVE to face danger, some do anyway. People climb Everest, K2, and Annapurna, peaks that are notorious for killing people. They keep doing it and there are massive expeditions every single year. People love to face that danger. It is inherent in the nature of certain individuals. You would hear about it. I Guarantee you someone would have tried to climb over the edge by now to see if they could get under it. People would go there, no question! People go to dangerous places all the time! FOR FUN! I do it too. IT'S AWESOME. The raw energy of nature is amazing, the vast cold oceans, the tall, lonely peaks of the world... Places like that bring you closer to God.
If the edge was real, people would go there, and there wouldn't just be a couple of ancient stories.

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

First, it has not nor have we had these currents you speak of. Does water flow out of a bowl or dish?

My attitude is 110% positive, I am accepting of the Truth(c) and I am a True Christian(tm). You seem to be missing on all three counts. I am sorry, I am known for being blunt out of my love for Jesus. Now if you think my love for God is wrong, say so. God tells it like it is and so do I. I am not a fluffy bunny, let me kiss your boo-boo Christian.

I agree, the edges of the firmament must be a sight to behold. Every man that has gone there has never returned. Just like those that wanted to get a peak at Heaven or Hell. There is a time and a place for everything.
