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

I didn't say anyone's beliefs are a joke. I said that the post was a joke, as it makes absolutely no sense. Perhaps I should have left the "this is a joke" part out, and just questioned the 3 proofs. But then I read some of the other posts where people jump in and completely agree with the 3 proofs, and thus I figured I might be missing something.

If the earth isn't flat how could Jesus see the whole world from the top of a mountain?

Matthew 4:8-9: 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

Anyway, you should tell us more about yourself, Mr Jeff. What kind of liberal false church do you go to that encourages you to reason rather than accept God's word on faith?

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

What truth?

A reasonable question, dear child. Please, see below for the answer.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


Yours in Christ,

What truth?

Faith is the only path to the truth.

I will pray for you, dear.

WOW, really? Sorry, but I'll take thinking over faith any day. Faith is no pathway to truth. I'll be leaving now...bye!

Hello, sweetie, and welcome to our Godly forum (it would be very nice of you if you created your own introduction thread in the proper forum so we could get to know you a little better).

You seem confused about God sending false prophets (Ezekiel 14:9). False prophets are the one that sound reasonable, that's how we know they are false.

We here at the Landover Baptist Church prefer to believe what God wants us to believe rather than what "sounds reasonable."

1 Corinthians 1:19-21
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

Yes.

No. (See the quote above).

Does it not say in Matthew 7:15-20 "Watch out for false prophets.". If someone states things that are so obviously false, as the 3 proofs are, then it would seem to me that it is coming from a false prophet.

Are one's beliefs suppose to outweigh common sense?

Yes.

Are we not to use our minds?

No. (See the quote above).

Well that's not very nice. Do you always go into communities and tell people their beliefs are jokes? The Apostle Paul tells us that if Christ has not been raised, his preaching is useless and so is our faith (1 Corinthians 15:14). But I know my faith is not useless because I use it all the time. And so I know it cannot be a joke.

This is a joke, right?


If you jump straight up in a moving truck, you will land exactly where you started. You, the truck bed, and the air are all moving at the same speed. You jump straight up, and you will continue to move forward at the speed of the truck. Law of inertia. For that matter, the next time you're in a car going down the highway at a constant speed, toss a ball straight up into the air. It will fall back down into your hand.


The balloon and piece of paper makes no sense. Do you really think the mass difference between the piece of paper and the balloon is the same mass difference between a person and the entire earth?


The getting high also makes no sense. Imagine a large curved surface, or if you'd like, a large ball. Now place an object on it, and position yourself so you cannot see it. Now raise up off the curved surface and eventually you'll see the object.

We know the Earth is flat because the Bible tells us so. But for those of you skeptical, close-minded types that flat out refuse to accept the overwhelming Biblical evidence, I have designed some experiments you can do at home that will show you, before your very eyes, that the world is indeed flat, and not spherical as some crazy scientists proclaim. It's amazing how many people blindly believe in a spherical Earth, without ever having seen it for themselves! I intend to change that.


1) Jump!
Now, scientists claim that Earth is spherical and rotating at a speed of between 700-1000 miles per hour, depending on your latitude. This is a very high rate of speed. You can disprove this nonsense by simply jumping up as high as you can. Really, it's that simple. What happens when you jump? You come straight down to where you were. But, if the Earth were indeed spinning at such a fast speed, wouldn't you land hundreds of feet away?

If you were to stand in the flat bed of a truck going 75 mph, and jump straight up, what would happen? You wouldn't fall straight down. You would fall out of the truck. That's because trucks move, the Earth doesn't. This experiment proves the Earth is fixed in space and doesn't move.


2) Blow!
Since if the Earth is supposedly a sphere, it naturally comes to assume what would happen to people below the equator, like in Australia? Since they are underneath the sphere, wouldn't they fall off? This is where scientists come up with mumbo-jumbo like "gravity" and "centrifugal force" to explain away their theories. So, the scientists want you to think that because the earth is so much more massive than people or things, that people will naturally "stick" to the bottom of the earth because of gravity.

This can be disproved very simply. Get a balloon and inflate it as big as possible. It will be a spherical shape. Now, take a piece of paper and try to rip, tear, or cut the tiniest speck of paper possible. This paper represents a human being, much smaller in mass to the balloon, which represents the Earth. Now try and place the small piece of paper to the underside of the balloon. What happens? It falls off!

That's right. Even though the balloon is so much bigger in mass, it cannot hold the tiny paper. So if the Earth was a sphere, no one could live below the equator because they would fall off.


3) Get High!
Ok, this one you really can't do at home, but you can do it out in the world. Stand on the ground and look around you. What's the farthest you can see? Maybe it's a building, tree, or mountain. Now, find some place very close to it where you can get a much higher vantage point. (This also works if you're on a jet and about to take off.) Notice how in the higher place you can see much farther? You can see more of the world the higher you get. This shows the world is flat because the higher you go, the easier it is to see over obstacles. At the same time, it shows the world cannot be spherical. Because if the world was curved, the far distance would forever remain out of view because of the Earth's curvature. It would eternally be over the horizon.

If the Earth was a sphere, it would not matter how high you went, you would still see the same thing. Since this is not the case, the Earth is flat.


These experiments are all confirmed by creation scientists as being 100% accurate. If you're skeptical of the flat Earth, why don't you do these experiments so you can see truth with your own eyes.

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

Greetings Andrew. You are the second person from Australia to come to this site today. That is a little unusual. These Baptists here will help you with any questions you have. They are very kind and friendly too. I have made many friends here and they are very tolerant of my own beliefs as long as I don't talk about them too much. I am currently under rebuke for some sin or another that I can't remember just now but it will expire in Christmas Day.

I am also from an island. We speak English there. I have heard that your island is over near China. Mine is close to Cuba. We have Chinese people in Jamaica. Do you have Cubans in Australia? I also heard that Australians are Black but you all seem white in the pictures. What have you done with the Black men?

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

I tried these experiments and was astounded by the results, I live in Australia and not once have I dropped off into the sky, piece of paper on the bottom of the balloon fell off, how come I've never fallen off earth? But jumping was a different story, I've never jumped before so I was excited to do this one and I live near the beach so I jumped as high as I could which was roughly a metre off the ground and landed about 200ft away which was in the ocean so luckily it was a soft landing and I know how to swim, at first I thought "maybe the earth really is round" but then noticed the ocean wasn't falling into the sky, how come the jump test failed?

Aren't non-flat earth folks dumb? Potato-shaped!

Good gravy, Sister! Is this really what those Rounders think? Do they believe the earth is evolving into a giant tumor?

[Basilissa]

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

I have an experiment - try walking off the edge of the world you dumb shits. Oh wait, you can't, because the world is round and gravity is exerted from the earth because it's large, which will pull you towards it, making you stay on the round earth. Did you people even go to school?

No, dear, most of us were home schooled.

I dunno if you went to school or not, but if you did, then you did not pay any attention. Otherwise you wouldn't believe that earth was round, you'd believe that it was potato-shaped:
