Re: Atheists who know nothing about secular science!!

Kindly acquire some modicum of an education before displaying your ignorance in the august Landover Baptist Church Fourms.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines "corner" to mean:



The word "corner" comes from a Latin root cornu, meaning "horn." That this is so survives in English via such words as "cornet," "corn," and "cornucopia." Hence, the four corners of the earth can be interpreted as referring to the four cardinal directions -- north, south, east and west.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

Using secular source and semantics to explain bible.
Isn't the bible everything you need.

Corner= Where two lines meet. Which is obviously not the case with the earth.

Re: Atheists who know nothing about secular science!!

Hey could you quote me the part in which god says that earth has four corner?
Circles don't have four corners.

Four corners of Earth is an English saying meaning something like all parts of Earth or the far ends of the world. It is not to be taken literately.

Found a fresh one:

Um I did not change the subject I was talking about the tilt of the world. And how we have winter in some areas and summer in others. But I guess I'll answer it IT'S CALLED GRAVITY!

God created earth as a circle with 4 corners.
Don't you see - nothing is impossible for God!

Luke 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Ephesians 3:20-21
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

I'm so glad you guys "interpret" science to make it support your argument, but you don't interpret the biggest piece of symbolism that is not to be taken literally

Why would we?

2 Peter 1:20-21

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

I've just seen the original post and can't be bothered to read all the replies:-

1. Try jumping on the top of a moving truck at 75mph, you will land back on the same place as you're moving at the same speed as the truck, same with the earth. [Air resistance, moron. You'd decelerate pretty damned fast and fall off the truck.]

2. Firstly, the bits of paper you put on the balloon will fall because the earth's gravity is stronger than the balloons. Secondly, the pull of gravity is towards the center of the object, things on the 'bottom' would be pulled just as things on the 'top'. I say 'top and 'bottom' as in space there is no direction, on earth we have direction as we are pulled downwards towards the earths center.

3. The earth is huge, and we are small, therefore it appears flat when we stand on it. Look around in an unobstructed area and you will see to the horizon (the point we can't see beyond due to the earth's curvature!). If you go up then you can see further as the angle which we can see increases and so does the horizon moves. Eventually you'll get so high (in space) that you won't see further due to the ROUNDNESS of the earth.

Why not go out and learn about the world that your God gave to you and disprove your arguments yourself

What an idiot.

Re: Atheists who know nothing about secular science!!

Round but flat, like all other pictures of the Earth. Not to mention, are we supposed to believe some guy in a frog suit on the internet over the Word of God©?

Pray tell good sir, if the earth is round and flat, where do the rest of the continents lie in relation to that picture?

I asked a question in which I expected an answer. I didn't expect to be insulted with racist remarks since I thought that both hating and racism wasn't tolerated. Anyway, back to my question. As can be observed from the picture above, only North America is completely visible, with South America visible from the top. The southern part of South America dissapears with the curvature of an apparent round Earth.

Since this image is obviously not the same Earth as you believe Earth to be, please post up a picture of Earth which "true christians" believe to be correct. I am really curious to see where all the continents lie in relation to each other according to the good Lord him(her)self.

Facts aren't racism, they're just facts. That would be like saying chinks have slanty eyes is racist. It's not, they do have slanty eyes.

That image is a portion of Earth, the important part - America. Honestly, have you never heard of cropping before? Here's the rest:

LMAO @ that phony map!!! You've got to be kidding right? That's not a map that's a joke! You obviously do not get out of the house very much do you? Have you ever been on a long haul flight anywhere? I think you will find that the itinerary for a flight from say Sydney to Santiago will not invole a stop off in North America which would be otherwise logical if that map were correct. You need to get out of your make-belief town of Freehold and go and actually see the real world for yourself.

Are you really so stupid? Of course they don't fly over the America. Two reasons, first is that America would not allow that extra air traffic and the other one is the winds that keeps more circular route better choice.

Sydney IS in North America, moron.
