     Your right chud

     

    Isaiah 40:22

    It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
    And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
    Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain
    And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

     

    Proverbs 8:27

    “When He established the heavens, I was there,

    When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,

     

    God doesn't say ball he says circle, as there is a mention of a ball in the Bible

     

    Isaiah 22:18

    And whirl you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a wide land. There you shall die, and there shall be your glorious chariots, you shame of your master's house.

     

     

    Well this document states there was no word for a sphere in Hebrew at that time. It seems plenty of religious people can accept a globe earth!

     

    http://www.eternal-productions.org/PDFS/articles/Does the Bible Teach a Spherical Earth.pdf

     

     

    "Does the Bible Teach a Spherical Earth? Many believe that the Bible teaches that the earth is flat (or a flat disk). Both assumptions are incorrect. There are a number of Scriptures that indicate a spherical earth. These Scriptures were penned centuries before a spherical earth was confirmed.

     

    Isaiah 40:22 states that God “sits above the circle of the earth.” While there is no Hebrew word for sphere, Khoog which is translated circle, circuit, compass is the closest. Because God is omnipresent, He looks down upon the earth from every direction. Therefore, from God’s heavenly perspective – looking down upon the earth from every location – the earth would appear round from every perspective ONLY if it were a sphere. If the earth were a flat circle for instance, then from most angles the earth would appear as an oval or even a straight-line (if perpendicular to it). Therefore, Isaiah 40:22 indicates a spherical earth.

     

    Furthermore, Jesus said “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth” (Matthew 12:40). Of course a person cannot be in the heart of a flat circle anymore than he can be in the belly of a flat fish. And Ephesians 4:9 corroborates when it explains that Jesus “first descended into the lower parts of the earth.”

     

    Luke 17:34-36 also implies a spherical earth. Jesus said that at His return some would be asleep at night while others would be working at day time activities in the field. This is a clear indication of a revolving earth, with day and night occurring simultaneously.

     

    In addition, Job 26:7 explains that the earth is suspended in space, the obvious comparison being with the spherical sun and moon. See also Job 26:10 and Proverbs 8:27.

     

    The Bible is the Creator’s Word so it is not surprising that recent scientific discoveries are confirming what the Creator has said for millennia.

     

    “For the word of the LORD is right, and all His work is done in truth” (Psalm 33:4)"

    I couldn't agree more! Can you see the earth orbiting the sun or do you see the sun moving across the sky? can you see any curvature on the horizon? can you see the earth spinning or even feel it moving, for that matter ? can you see that water always finds it's level ? can you see that the moon is not 384 thousand miles away. can you see that the sun is not a million miles away ?

    If only you could see...........

     

    But some things can only be seen from a certain perspective. The eyes are limited to what they can detect. This is why technology is used. If we relied only on what our eyes could tell us then we would know very little. 

     

    Do you accept the idea of subatomic particles?

     The ball earth and the big bang theory ridicules Genesis 1 to a point where people don't believe that God created earth. But this was Satan's plan all along. But God said that all truth will be revealed during the last days.

    You do realise that genesis is metaphorical?

     

    Big bang doesnt ridicule genesis. Let there be light could mean a blinding explosion.

     

    The last days are when you die and see your full life before you. 

     

    The bible was written by people who didnt have the knowledge we have today. It is not the infallible word of god in writing. I guess for many religious people questioning the bible creates a lot of problems, as it could be seen as doubt, which brings feelings of guilt and shame, etc. God gave you senses to see the world around you. He also gave you a brain so you could learn from it rather than be trapped by the text of an ancient book.

    But without going to a search engine, can you name any 3 Discworld characters that haven't appeared in the televised books? Do it fast, or you're bluffing again. ?

     

    Probably not. I do love the films though, especially the Colour of Magic

    Re : flat earth 

     

    I havent ever seen anyone put this point across so I will give it a go

     

    If this planet is a disc and essentially flat , then does that mean all the other planets and stars are as well ? 

     

    Because if they are , that means they are all turned very neatly on their side pointing the flat face right at us 

     

    Because they appear as circular round objects through a telescope 

     

    So are all the discs facing this disc perfectly to make them appear as globes ? 

     

    IDK why I bother sometimes 

     

     

    I have said something similar before. You can tell some of these objects are rotating too by their features, so its not like that are presenting one face, as if you were looking down onto a disc.

    I'm not talking about people who question things.  I'm talking about people who obviously come on this forum just to refute everything.  It gets to the heart of human behaviour.  No one goes onto a forum about stuff they do not believe in, lurks around, then starts barging in on posts, refuting everything.  people just do not behave this way unless they have an agenda.

    Maybe thats their starting point? maybe if you engaged with them more positively rather than abusing them as all sorts of enemy then in time they would be more open? at least they might respect what you stand for a bit more. When 'believers' just gang up to stomp on somebody for questioning it makes it look like a belief cult.

     

    Worst comes to worst and they keep triggering you then put them on ignore!

    I like the flat earth lot.

    It entertains me. It's nearly as fun as the humour thread.

    Also it keeps a load of the shills busy arguing on there.

     

    BUT there are a couple of very passionate real people who post there, at least they are questioning narrative. I Particularly like bflat I think he/she is the real deal - proper passionate person. 

    Im a Terry Pratchet fan too. Discworld is great

    What gets me are the people who come on here and refute the very basic foundation of David Icke's message.  It's very obvious why those people are here.  They do the same thing on youtube comments and other forums.  They're all over social media.   I saw in one season of Showtime's "Homeland" (a series I suggest everyone should watch) something that made the proverbial light bulb go off in my head.  It was about a boiler room setup in a new secure "technology" company that turned out to be rows and rows of computers setup with hundreds of people manning them, all being paid to shill and troll forums and social media.  Each "Analyst" had a list of sites that he/he was assigned to psy-op.  They were hiring out of work IT people and paying them $75K+ to do this.  They were getting their money from a mish-mash of govt funding, political organizations, and public activist organizations.

     

    I am 100% sure this kind of thing is happening all over the world now, and there must be many thousands of people sitting there all day getting paid to shill forums and social media with false messages and propaganda, including the creation and distribution of completely false advertising and videos.

     

    But even David Icke himself says we should question everything, even his information. If we fail to actually question what he is saying then isnt there a danger it just turns into a belief cult?

    Never heard of them. Unlike others I've been giving you the benefit of doubt. I see I am wrong.

    Whhaaaattttt

     

    Icke wrote a book some time ago where he talked about the Lion people from Sirius. People stopped talking about them after a short while it seemed.

    The thought of NASA (Satan) deceiving humanity and driving a wedge between us all plus the fact that this ball earth theory with all it's Einstein math's was invented for the pacific reason of distancing ourselves from God which IMO has done a pretty good job.

    How is this distancing anybody from God? Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is within so surely God must be too?

    I think it is hard for them as the truth is the truth.

     

    Oh no I almost feel sorry for them.

     

    I wonder how many of them play around here and go away confused because the truths here start hitting home? I do hope so.

    Maybe they just need to get into mental contact with the lion people?

    People truly interested in matters of spirituality could do a lot worse than to research the work of Rudolph Steiner, who judging by his output lived about 10 lives in one. Amongst Steiners more pertinent contributions to humanity was his work on Bio-dynamic farming, Waldorf Schools and would you believe his thoughts on vaccinations? (he warned against them also)  Probably most important to where we are now however was his warning about the appearance of an entity he called the Ahriman, who Steiner claimed would manifest in some kind of "artificial" form.

     

    Finally and as some good news, Steiner also suggested that there would be a window of time, for what are essential human truths to manifest. And we are now in that time !

    Im sure I have some of his stuff on my kindle in my 'to get through' pile. I end up buying books faster than I can read them, lol

  13. Cremation or burial is really down to personal belief. People who believe in the physical resurrection get buried, though I doubt it would matter if organs have been removed for if got get restore their bodies to living condition then surely he can fashion new organs.

     

    There are methods like sky burial too. In sky burial bodies are cut up and the flesh fed to vultures. Sometimes the bones are used for crafting items as the physical remains are regarded as useless to the spirit.
