LU:  That is why Jesus asked why the rich guy was calling Him “good.” This is not about Jesus claiming that He, Himself is not good, Gene. The rich guy was flattering Jesus and Jesus exposed the lie of flattery through showing him that he was worshiping possessions more than following Jesus’ teachings about God being first in our lives.…

Mike: John 3:16… For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son…

Just to be clear, the God who so loved the world is NOT the God you worship and serve.  Is that correct?

 

LU:  Why would you say that?

Because the God of the Bible is a single-person entity called “He” and “Him”, and who loved the world so much that HE gave HIS only begotte…[Read more]

Mike:  I think that it clearly refers to the one name.  How about you?

 

LU:  I don’t think that is is clear to be only one name “Yahweh, our Righteousness.”

I’m trying to work it out in my head.

Philippians 2:9… Therefore God also highly exalted Him, and granted to Him the name above every name…

I would think that “Yahweh” is the only nam…[Read more]

One more thing. The title is this because Google demotes the term ‘flat earth’. By putting it this way  I’m hoping Google promotes it. You will notice that the title neither gives advantage to both sides of the argument.

But Proclaimer – without even a word to me – just took it upon himself to MERGE my successful thread into his thread.  Now the Topics page of the site looks like this…

I’ve been doing this with all topics as I have the tools to do this now. It solves the multiple topics discussing the same subject problem. Of course, it preserves the dates, so old…[Read more]

Mike:  Do you believe that the Jews thought that Jesus was making himself out to be the Most High God that no man has ever seen?  As if Jesus was literally trying to convince people that he was the very God who dwells in unapproachable light – whom no man can see and live?

 

LU:  It seems to me that the Jews thought that Jesus was making himself…

I’m hoping that you’ll unmerge my massively successful thread from your pitiful thread that only had four interactions.  You have basically stolen my intellectual property, Proclaimer.  Please give it back.

Lol. Did you think I was going to quote you? This is going to be a serious writing, not a big foot type investigation. It will argue that…[Read more]

The red box is Proclaimer’s ENTIRE “Challenging the Flat Earth” thread that he started in 2011.  It consisted of 6 posts – 3 of which came from him.  The blue box is the Opening Post of my own “Flat Earth?” thread in 2018… which has so far gone on for 4 years, 269 pages, and 5366 posts.

But Proclaimer – without even a word to me – just took i…[Read more]

Gene:  Danny Dabbs……..the flat earth is a “LIE”,  a big LIE brother.  But i think we have all had about enough of it by now.

It’s the earth that God, Jesus, and the entire Bible describes.  But Gene, nobody is forcing you to be a part of this thread or discussion, right?  So if YOU don’t like this topic, then don’t be involved in it.  Simple,…[Read more]

Berean: Hi Danny Dabbs

TELL ME, IF IT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO REALLY KNOW THE SHAPE OF THE EARTH, WHY JESUS DIDN’T GIVE US A LITTLE REMINDER: HEY FRIENDS, REMEMBER, THE EARTH IS….
GLOBE OR FLAT!

You mean like when Jesus said that Satan took to the top of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world?  Impossible on a ball.…[Read more]

Berean:  I will try to be clearer for everyone in the future, because we must have a sanctified language.

Not at all, dude.  I had just never heard it that way before.  I’ve heard of “splitting hairs” since I was a child, and know exactly what that means.  I just had never heard your version before. 👍🙂

Proclaimer: Look at dabbs… Mike deceived him.

How so?  I merely pointed him to the same webpage that I pointed everyone to at the beginning of this thread… the very same page Dig4Truth pointed me to 5 years ago. The difference is that Danny, D4T and I  actually read it, while the rest of you scoffed it off because “you already know b…[Read more]

Hi Mike

Verbal phrase. (figurative) To be too precise or meticulous. Quibble.

Why do we say split the hair in four?
It was in the 17th century that this expression appeared in the form of “splitting your hair in four”. It represents excessive care taken to do something. One can indeed imagine that trying to cut a hair in four is lost in advance,…[Read more]

Gene:  Proclaimer…….Your arguing against pure stupidity, it’s simply a waste of time. 

Everyone pay heed to Gene here.  He saw the spinning ball on TV, and therefore it’s got to be real! 😎

Berean:  NO WHAT TO MAKE A CONTROVERSY, AND CUT YOUR HAIR IN FOUR… 

That is an interesting saying that I’ve never heard.  What does it mean in your culture?  Give an example if your don’t mind.  👍

Proclaimer: I think Mike has a point.

If you are going to believe in 6 x 24 hour creation days even before man and the sun were created, then you might as well go the whole hog and embrace the four corners of the world, the final hour being 60 minutes, and Jesus coming back with a literal sword coming out of his mouth.

Well, let’s at least…[Read more]

Proclaimer:  I am not calling Tyson a liar for saying you cannot see the curve at 40km high. But you have to believe that Shatner is lying to us or that he is mistaken. But really, the latter doesn’t seem possible. He either saw it or he didn’t. So you have to hold the view that he is lying to us right? This is not a false accusation. It is simp…

I have read it, and it is full of false asumptions that are not in line with our scriptures.  I

You say things but you don’t prove anything.
Tell me rather what are these hypotheses put forward by the author…

Mike:  How could you possibly suggest that an eclipse (about 2 minutes of DARKNESS) is in any way related to a request for an extended period of DAYLIGHT?

 

Proclaimer:  Mike, this is something that I am not focussing on right now.

It doesn’t take a lot of focus, Proclaimer.  The Bible passage that describes the event takes about 40 seconds to…[Read more]

Proclaimer:  If true, it opens up the possibility of epochs. Different worlds and ages that have existed on this planet. Maybe washed clean to create anew.

2 Peter 3:5-6… But they deliberately overlook the fact that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed from water and by water, through which the world of that ti…[Read more]
