Oh wowwee a car about to go over Horizon

All the crazies are hitting his thread hard aren't they?

They seem to be hitting the whole forum pretty hard right now.  They tend to come in waves I  think, hopefully this one will pass and we can get back to debating with people who only pretend the earth is flat, rather than genuine loons.

And from Genesis: 38:8-10,

After God killed Er, Judah tells Onan to "go in unto thy brother's wife."

But "Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and... when he went in unto his brother's wife... he spilled it on the ground... And the thing which he did displeased the Lord;  wherefore he slew him also."

—This lovely Bible story is seldom read in Sunday Schools, but it is the basis of many Christian doctrines, including the condemnation of masturbation, homosexuality, and birth control.

Again, from Leviticus:  20:13,

"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them".

—The bible is such a charming book isn't it?  Thankfully in Australia, we have an absolute separation of church and state.

Just looks to me that God is down with lesbians.

Who isn't down with lesbians?

Here is the difference between Christianity "indoctrination" and your pseudo-science indoctrination...

Parents take their children to church and teach them about the world's oldest collection of historical records. Your religion, on the other hand, strips children from their homes and forces them to learn about evolution/big bang theory 8 hours a day for 10+ years. And the Bible is BANNED from your indoctrination centers... so who is doing the real indoctrination?

Aristotle? Herodotus? Tsun Tzu? Homer? I learned about all of these teachings in school, which are both older than the teachings of Jesus Christ. If you reference old testament, you unfortunately are talking about pre-history. The old testament was passed by word of mouth for thousands of years before it was ever written down. Ever played the telephone game? Now play it spanning ten to fifteen centuries, where language evolves over time and word meaning changes.

Looks like iWitness has run away from this thread too...

La la la... same old crap different day. Look bro, the telephone game PROVES that the Bible is the Word of God. Up until the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in the 1940s, people just like you used to say "The Bible has been translated so many times it's not accurate anymore." Well, then explain how the Dead Sea Scrolls are 99.99% the same as all the various translations around the world when they were hidden away for thousands of years?

See, all of the translations and copies make the Bible's consistency even more miraculous.

And if you read the Bible you would know that Moses, who wrote the first 5 books, spoke directly with God. So he got his Truth straight from the Source.

You call him a liar... well prove it! How can the Bible after 2000+ years still not be debunked by any historian?

Give us the proof that it is lies. Otherwise YOU ARE THE LIAR.

I've shown you REAL BRIMSTONE at Sodom and Gomorrah, real prophecies that have come to pass.

What do you have?

Look, here is golden chariot wheels, human and horse bones scattered across the Red Sea between Egypt and Saudi Arabia. What do you have to show? NOTHING

Oh? Then you can explain to me all the differences between the New King James bible and the Coptic bible?

I have no problem with homosexuals. Just you.

 

Interestingly enough here is a little quote from a Christian website.
 
 "In the Old Testament, Job 26:7 explains that the earth is suspended in space, the obvious comparison being with the spherical sun and moon.

A literal translation of Job 26:10 is “He described a circle upon the face of the waters, until the day and night come to an end.” A spherical earth is also described in Isaiah 40:21-22—“the circle of the earth.”

Note, the Biblical Hebrew word for “circle” (חוג—chuwg) can also mean “round” or “sphere.”"

Got that from http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-c015.html

Are you saying that if an ancient document and its modern translation are similar, than that is proof of its divinity? Thats pretty stupid.

In your third picture there are light poles on the right side of the picture. While there is a mirage, these light poles go up to the point of the horizon.. and then there are more AFTER the horizon that get smaller simply because the main part of the poles are hidden behind the horizon. What is the counter for this?


Also, if the world is flat, why is everyone lying to us that it is round?

Because to have it as a globe they can hide the rest of what Earth really is and stop anyone exploring it.
A globe is basically saying that everything is catered for, roughly, apart from pockets.

Is there any chance of you reposting this comment using accepted English grammar sceptimatic?

Or explain what you mean by the phrase "they can hide the rest of what Earth really is..."?  And, specifically, who or what are "they"?
