LittleDavid View Profile History	Silly People Think Christianity Taught the Earth was Flat Posted : 30 Nov, 2019 12:59 AM Lots of silly people (atheists) teach and write textbooks claiming that “the church” or that all Christianity believed in a flat earth. But this false theory lacks historic evidence. It’s true a few pockets of Christians believed in a flat earth just like gullible Christians today believe evolution old earth doctrine and death before the sin of Adam, but that doesn’t prove that all Christians were equally deceived.

KJVonly View Profile History	Silly People Think Christianity Taught the Earth was Flat Posted : 4 Dec, 2019 06:47 PM PRAY for the scales to fall off your eyes......then Read Genesis very s l o w l y and let it sink in. Focus on WHAT he made as to the earth, sun , moon and stars and HOW he made the earth and heavens. What comes first, etc. Focus on the firmament- Then go read Job chapters 37 38. Even the NIV got it . Contemporary was way off. All bibles are not the same as proved with my vid posted way back in my thread ,"modern bibles do not exhalt Jesus Christ." Contemporary English Version God can hammer out the clouds in spite of the oppressive heat, but can you? New International Version Can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze? King James Bible Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? Contemporary version sounds like the clouds are hammered and heavy and ready to fall on your skulls. Take cover!!! The sky really is falling. Chicken little was right after all! Post Reply
KJVonly View Profile History	Silly People Think Christianity Taught the Earth was Flat Posted : 4 Dec, 2019 06:56 PM Ok Parrot. I hope you enjoyed your in-flight movie . Was any main lobster on the menu this evening? You are flying 1st class I hope! You didn't have too much to drink and start seeing little green men on the wing of the plane hitching a ride did you? If you did, I guess you ended up in the Twilight Zone. That flight plan on the globe will take you WAY out man!!! Probably why rates are so expensive. I wonder if that was intended? Put your thinking cap on and pay attention. I won't do ALL of the homework for you. You will have to check out what I present. Here goes... According to farecompare.com Only one nonstop flight to: Sydney Australia to Santiago Chili 7,044 mile flight at 12 hours 40 min. Airline: Quantas , flight #27 On the globe model, if you want a stopover flight then your option is to land in the USA or Canada which is way out of the way as you go into the northern hemisphere then down to Santiago. On a flat earth map it's basically straight across and makes the most sense with the USA /Canada in the middle for a stopover halfway through. Another one to look into is Johannesburg, South Africa to Perth, Australia AGAIN directly across....but on the globe model it has you going up and around and back again . The routes that they want you to take on the flight plan from Africa has you going UP toward Dubai , India then DOWN to Malaysia then DOWN further to Australia. Silly wrabbit! Ok, Parrot...as to your post: Every intelligent person knows that you travel WEST by plane from New York City to New Delhi India with a stop over in Tokyo End quote As to the globe model , JFK to India is 18 hours 40 minutes...according to Google. BUT Tokyo is way past India.! How do you get a stop over there?? Riddle me that Batman! Post Reply

KJVonly View Profile History	Silly People Think Christianity Taught the Earth was Flat Posted : 4 Dec, 2019 07:15 PM Ok Dave , I have yet to see your scriptures regarding the globe shaped earth. Circle doesn't count because you can draw a circle on a flat piece of paper . I am talking a round ball globe. Is there any scriptures to suggest it is definitely round and fat as buddah's belly? I am serious now. Show me. Post Reply

KJVonly View Profile History	Silly People Think Christianity Taught the Earth was Flat Posted : 4 Dec, 2019 08:49 PM Think about this... Globe model + big bang model=theory of evolution+extraterrestrials seeding mankind=lies to take your mind off Our Creator. Don't you get it ? We would question who we are and where we came from. So they give you an alternate reality to keep your mind from accepting the truth. Post Reply
View Profile History	Silly People Think Christianity Taught the Earth was Flat Posted : 4 Dec, 2019 08:52 PM Isaiah Says that the Earth is CIRCULAR Isaiah was inspired by God to say in Isaiah 40:21-22: "Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He sits enthroned above the CIRCLE OF THE EARTH, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy!! So Isaiah clearly calls the Earth a “circle.” This clearly shows that he had a round idea of the Earth. This is interesting for a couple of reasons: 1.First of all, he says God sits above the CIRCLE OF THE EARTH. Circle can mean “spherical, round, etc.” So he is clearly calling it something ROUND. 2.Secondly, this blows away the arguments by the skeptics that the Prophets thought the Earth has “corners.” Hint: A circle doesn’t have a corner. Therefore, why would a man well versed in the scriptures of God call the Earth a circle if he believed it to be a flat cornered piece of land? He wouldn’t! So obviously he believed the EARTH WAS CIRCULAR in nature. Isaiah oddly uses the term CIRCLE, and it is odd that anyone would describe the earth that way unless they actually supposed it was CIRCULAR in nature. There have been thousands of pictures of the earth from outer space and every picture shows a CIRCULAR ROUND EARTH!! Every intelligent person knows that you travel WEST by plane from New York City to New Delhi India with a stop over in Tokyo and you can ALSO travel EAST by plane from New York City to New Delhi India with a stop over in Tel Aviv Israel.! This of course would be impossible if the earth was flat and only possible if the EARTH WAS CIRCULAR!! Going West Tokyo comes before India!! The brain dead FLAT EARTHERS have no answer to the above!!!! Post Reply
KJVonly View Profile History	Silly People Think Christianity Taught the Earth was Flat Posted : 4 Dec, 2019 08:52 PM I found some flat earth maps. One called Ferguson's 1893 world map and another is Gleason's new standard map of the world circa 1892. Do a google search and see. HeHe Post Reply
KJVonly View Profile History	Silly People Think Christianity Taught the Earth was Flat Posted : 4 Dec, 2019 09:00 PM Here , maybe this will help some. Doubt anyone looks. At least you can see the illustration of the flat earth and firmaments. So...prove me wrong. https://weseeasthroughaglassdarkly.wordpress.com/2015/09/10/biblical-proof-for-the-flat-earth/ PARROT! Isaiah had the word for BALL in Isaiah 22:18 . He had the word for BALL but used the word CIRCLE for the earth. Told you there was a difference! New International Version He will roll you up tightly like a BALL and throw you into a large country. There you will die and there the chariots you were so proud of will become a disgrace to your master's house. King James Bible He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a BALL into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.
