There is nothing to discuss. The moon is flat. Did you think I would engage in a visit about how great Satan is? Not interested.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

Your doctored picture of a basketball was so amateurish as to be laughable. Did you really think we would fall for that trick?

The moon is flat. Here is a picture to prove it:

Ok then, also, it is a full moon btw. Next time, take a photo when it's a half moon. Or, even better, email me here at [unsolicited private address removed by moderator - this is not a pick-up joint] we will talk there.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

Wow. Still no moon picture. You guys are so stubborn. That means I win and the earth is SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN to be round. You lose. I win. Suck on that.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

If you have read the Bible, then you should have the confidence to discuss it.

As for doing anything just because you told me to. . . well, to quote Proverbs 17:22. "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones." Thanks for the laugh.


Also, why is that your sort of visitor always takes such a nasty tone with the likes of me, hmm? You guys never come across that tough when dealing with the male members of our little community. It almost seems as if my sweet manner and adorable avatar makes me an easy target for smug, self-important bullies.

If you take the hyperliteral approach to the bible there are various verses that can imply the Earth is flat. Here's a few:


Revelation 7:1
And 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.


Psalm 104:5
He set the Earth on it's foundations, it can never be moved.


Matthew 4:8
Again the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high moutain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them


The people at take this hyperliteral approach therefor it is their view the Earth is flat.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

For the third time, I issue this challenge to you.


Read. The. Bible.




Science, modern technology, popular opinion, NONE of these things matter to people who are committed to a Biblical world view. Nothing you have to say on any subject really relates to what we care about here at Landover Baptist. We are here to discuss God's perspective on the universe that God created, and that includes the moon.


Please start bringing Bible references into your posts so that we can have a meaningful discussion. Thank you.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

Yknow what. I have a challenge for you. Go outside and take a close up photo of the moon, then come back to me and post it. Use anything, and I mean ANYTHING, (except for computer simulations) to take one decent photo.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

More than 20 people claim to have been abducted by aliens. Do you believe everything everyone tells you?Literally EVERYTHING is centered around God, so jot that down.You're the one using insults and you say I'm the one upset? I'm simply helping you out of kindness.God is supreme, dear. Please make a note of it.Case misunderstood. Unless you mean to argue the moon in the sky is the same size as a basketball literally, the ratio of witness to object is valid.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

First of all, almost 20 people have been there using Apollo missions (that's an estimation)

so it ain't just centered around God.

Literally EVERYTHING is centered around God, so jot that down.

Second, don't get all upset about ONE WORD. I can say "as well" how ever I want. You can't check me Grammer Nazi.

You're the one using insults and you say I'm the one upset? I'm simply helping you out of kindness.

Btw, I wouldn't be surprised if this place was ran by white supremacists,

God is supreme, dear. Please make a note of it.

THIRD, we aren't eyelash mites, we are humans. We see the bumps as small, other things see it as big sure but to us, they are tiny bumps. Case Dismissed.

That seems to be an assumption at best.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

How do you know? Where you there?

Do you know who would know? He who created the moon: Jesus. If you can find a passage in the Holy Bible in which Jesus talks about this so-called "regolith and dust" covering the moon, that would change the conversation immensely. As such, your personal assurances are hardly worth our consideration. Surely you can see why.



Two words. As and Well.
Compound words like lunchbox, pillowcase, and blacksmith are very common and rather useful, but "aswell" is not such a word.

The Chinese have a different system of making compound words. Their words are short and monosyllabic, and so combining short root words together is how their language created a more complex vocabulary.

For example, in China the heart was thought of not only as the organ that controls the circulatory system, but also as the source of consciousness and where feelings and thoughts are harbored. Therefore, “心 (xīn)” became a crucial root character for compound words that have to do with describing one’s nature, thoughts, and feelings.

● 心疼 (xīn téng) - distressed / feeling sorry
When you are feeling sorry about someone or something you love, you might involuntarily clutch your chest even though your heart might not literally hurt.

● 心寒 (xīn hán) - disappointed
寒 (hán) literally means “freezing.” This describes when someone feels extremely disappointed, and it feels like a chill has washed through the whole body.

● 恶心 (Ě xīn) - disgusted
Literally, this word breaks down to “bad heart,” and refers to the feeling when you loathe something to the max. This compound word has been adapted to refer to the physical sensation of nausea as well.

● 粗心 (cū xīn) - careless
This literally breaks down to “coarse/rough heart.” A rough person is most likely not a stickler for details.

However, the Chinese are generally a stubborn and witless people who have rejected Christ for Communism. Their language may be interesting for those who enjoy odd curiosities, but Jesus will not consider their linguistic scribbles come Judgement Day. I hope you will not ignore your own salvation like the populous Chinese.

Have you ever considered the surface of a basketball from the eyelash mite's point of view? Oh look, "eyelash" is another compound word!

No, it's not that same texture, regolith and dust cover the moon.

Aswell

as mountains and flat mare cover it as well, a basketball has medium sized bumps all over the surface, there are no flat surfaces on a basket ball.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

Wait a second I didn't say that though-

I know. I just like to put words in your mouth. Here is your video.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

That statement is false. Science will always be rejected here if it conflicts with the Bible.

Next. Let's look at the stars.
