    Hi Proclaimer,

    YOU: How do you deal with this scripture without writing an essay and skirting the issue?

    John 6:62
    What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

    Jesus is clearly stating here that he came from above since he eventually ascended into Heaven to be at the right-hand of God.

    Hi Berean,

    Christ, the anointed Jesus of Nazareth who shed his blood but was resurrected from the dead is before all things and in him all things consist.

    17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the BEGINNING, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might…[Read more]

    Neither you, Mike, or any flat earther ever has brought back the sun.

    They can bring back small boats, but not the sun for some reason.

    So why can they bring back small boats?

    Because they were never over the horizon to begin with. They were simply too small to see with the naked eye.

    The truth doesn’t matter to you it seems.

    But the Spirit of Truth guides us into all truth.

    We must be born again if we are to see the kingdom of God.

    Pray for the Spirit of Truth and that your mind will be renewed by the word of God.

    I don’t believe NASA.
    As for the Sun, I gave you two explanations.
    There are more. It’s a combination of several things.
    But I will no longer share it with you.

    Good Morning Berean,

    I appreciate you coming forward to say directly that nothing will change your belief, that is nice to know. Your ability to defend your belief as God’s truth however I would say is very much lacking though.

    Sand tiger sharks, also known as ragged-tooth sharks, have a deceivingly ferocious look. They are large-bodied sharks up to 10 feet long that display a menacing mouthful of razor-sharp teeth that protrude in all directions, even when their mouth is shut.
