Arkansas inflicts child abuse on its school children

You can say I’m the one making errors all you want to and doesn’t bother me. I know God and have what He promised. I’ve received the gift of eternal life. This happened before I ever read the Scriptures for myself.
In all my reading after that never thought the Bible was teaching that the earth was flat. Sounds like you’re fishing for reasons to justify yourself.

You have no way of knowing that. You may hope you have. You may believe you have. But, you cannot know that.

You have no way of knowing that. You may hope you have. You may believe you have. But, you cannot know that.

People from all different religions believe that they know their god.
People from all different religions believe that their god keeps his promises to them.

The Bible doesn't teach anything about the shape of the earth. The people who made mention of the shape of the earth just wrote what they matter of factly believed...
22It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
You do understand the difference between a circle and a sphere, don't you? You do know that a circle is essentially a flat 2-dimensional (FLAT) construct, don't you?



Sounds like you’re fishing for reasons to justify yourself.

It isn't about me justifying anything. It's about you trying to justify your scripture by pretending that circles are spheres. It's about you trying to justify your scripture by pretending that the writers knew about a spherical earth.
 
What is this about? Do you know? Can you summarize it in your own words?


Why do you continue to post just links? Are you afraid to put yourself out there and actually speak for yourself?
You can’t read it? You can’t pull up the information? Or you’d rather have my opinion?

Good for them, I know what God has done beyond a shadow of doubt for me personally. No one can take this from me because it happened. He healed me, changed me and continues to speak and reveal Himself to me. I’m positive about this, there is no doubt.
 
Why do you ask others to do what you yourself do not do?

You did not (could not) (were afraid to) comment on the specifics.
I read other people’s references and have commented. When I was asked for a reference I gave it and now...you say I’m not reading it or commenting on it and all this deflection.

I don’t see that like you do, when I read that I see how awesome God is and how small man is. The subject or what’s considered is God not the shape of the earth.

Of course, I can read it. But, as I said before...

  • Why do you ask others to do what you yourself do not do?
  • Why do you continue to post just links?

Since you continue to post just links, we can only conclude that you have not read or do not understand your linked articles. That's come to be expected for Creationists.

The way I know is because God gave me a guarantee, His Spirit. Just like a down payment, a promise of my future inheritance.
Yeah. I'll bet Satan makes a lot of promises too. Maybe the "promises" you got really came from Satan. You have no way of knowing. You have not shown much in the way of critical thinking. You just blindly accept scripture. I'll bet Satan just loves people who blindly accept what they think comes from a higher power.

So you’re saying I just post links and don’t put myself out there? How do you figure? Your comments make me think you get post credits

I said, repeatedly, that you post links to articles. You give no indication that you actually read the article. You give no indication that you actually understand the article. You do not excerpt salient portions of the article. You do not comment on the actual contents of the article.

Examples...
Any child can link to articles. When are you going to show that you actually read and understand the articles yourself?


I have no expectations that you will ever do that.

More evasion. You do that when you cannot actually address other people's comments.


At the time the OT was written people did not know the earth was spherical.
The OT states that the earth is circular, not spherical.
That shows that your god did not inspire the writers. That shows that the OT stories are just that - stories. Stories written by mortal men who wanted to start a new religion.
