  5. YouTube gave you a flat earth notice. Apparently, just saying flat earth, constitutes a belief and teaching that the earth is flat. One of the teachings of the flat earther claim is that the Bible teaches that God laid the foundation of the earth. Then they couple that with the false assumption that globes, do not have a foundation. Psalms 102:25: Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. Isaiah 48:13: Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together. Zechariah 12:1: The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Hebrews 1:10: And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: The Bible also teaches that the God sits on "the circle of the earth". Apparently, the Hebrew language at the time, did not have a word for globe or ball. Isaiah 40:22: It 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: What they can't deny is that the earth is in space, as Job tells us that the Lord hanged the earth on nothing. Job 26:7: He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. Flat earthers are not as problematic as some other religious beliefs in society. Religious beliefs that adversely affect people's health such as; Global warming. Green energy tech is less harmful to the environment than the current energy tech. It's OK to follow policies based on a lie because the out come looks true. Ivermectine is not a valid treatment for COVD-19. The gene splicing drug used to produce immunity from COVID-19 is a vaccine. There are no adverse reactions to the COVID drug. The COVID-19 drug is safe and effective. Agenda 21 which calls for reducing the population of the earth by two thirds to three quarters. Atheists that reject the existence of God despite the fact that many prophesies in the Bible are coming to pass before our eyes, Agenda 21 fits the pattern of a third of population dieing as a result of a catastrophe. Revelation 8:8: And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9: And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. Revelation 9:15: And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. 16: And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 17: And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 18: By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

  17. "Black holes can't exist because God wouldn't separate Himself from part of His creation." That's not a Biblically based religious view. Jesus tells us that people will be "cast out into outer darkness" Given that light cannot escape a black hole, the term "outer darkness" fits the description of a black hole. Matthew 8:12: But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Not only does Jesus mention outer darkness, He tells us that in judgment, many will be separated from Him. Matthew 25:41: Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:46: And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. People hold these views of God being so loving and kind that He would not punish anyone, because they prefer to continue in their immorality rather than turn from it and turn unto God for help defeating their own despicableness. That's not love and therefore does not fit a God who is loving, just and merciful. Love that is unjust, is not love. Love that is not merciful, is not love. Love that has mercy on the perpetrator, while inflicting more injury on the victim, is not love. Mercy without justice is not mercy. Justice without love and mercy, is not justice. While people like to twist the definitions of words and claim an interpretation of words permits allowing the guilty to go free without punishment, such ideas do not exist in the Bible unless it is intentionally mistranslated or misinterpreted to be there.

  23.  @JimmySixThumbs  "The urbane activity with which a man receives money is really marvellous, considering that we so earnestly believe money to be the root of all earthly ills," You're lack of knowledge of the scriptures is so clearly obvious too those with knowledge it is shameful. Money is not the root of all evil. "The love of money is the root of all evil". 1Timothy 6:10: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. "and that on no account can a monied man enter heaven." Being wealthy does not prevent a man from entering heaven. Loving one's wealth above God and rejecting Jesus Christ, is what prevents a man from entering heaven. The issue with the rich ruler was not his money. The issue was that he put more value in his money, than he did God's truth. The man thought that he could attain heaven by doing a good thing. Matthew 19:16: And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? Jesus recites the commandments which the young man confirms adherence too doing. Matthew 19:20: The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Then Jesus declares the ultimate truth, that only by following Him and believing on His name, can one enter into heaven. Matthew 21: Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22: But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. People prefer their interpretation of scripture rather than the truth of God's word. There is nothing inherently evil in being rich. In fact, a rich man can do more for the cause of God's kingdom by virtue of his wealth, than a poor man can. I have personally seen this play out; I have seen people accept a rich man entering into full time ministry and declare his great sacrifice and faith, whereas they despised and rejected a poor man seeking to do ministry by virtue of his poverty and while he was destitute and homeless. Those people claim to worship the Great God in heaven when in fact, they are honor and worship wealth.

  34.  @dyllanusher1379  "If you disagree with neitezche entirely, fair enough, that's the beauty of an individual's philosophy, nobody is right." "You claim neitezche, a dead man, has found out that God is alive and well." Given this is the statement you are responding too, the answer to your question; "how do u know did God send his divine message to you?" So to speak, yes. Atheists have a problem with this, but then, believers have a problem with this as well. I seen a video in which Dawkins is quoted as saying that "we are lumbering robots with a genetically programed brain". Despite his statement, Dawkins is said to have been an atheist which is contrary to his own philosophy of us being lumbering robots.. For genetics to program our brains, the genetic code must be a language. The only way language can exist is through intelligence. What this tells me is that Dawkins refused to believe his own philosophy of an intelligent creator. Everyone, whether they believe God exists or not are judged after death. Those that have chosen to believe in Christ and accept Him as Lord and Savior, are absent from the body and present with the Lord. Those that have rejected faith in Christ, are absent from the body and in an inhospitable place. In the end, the only one that will be right, is God as God is always right. Keep this in mind the next time you run across a discussion over how a specific prophetic passage is supposed to be interpreted. The only interpretation that is correct is God's purpose and intent of that prophesy and we may or may not understand it until we see it fulfilled and then realize that the fulfillment is the correct understanding of the prophesy. The mark of the beast in revelation for instance. No one can buy and sell except they take the mark of the beast. ~Revelation 13:17 Revelation 13:17: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. At no time in history could that Revelation 13:17 come to pass, but now with the advent of the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) which will be turned into a global control structure, that prophesy is on the verge of coming to pass.

  41. I stopped participating in surveys like this years ago as I realized that they do not accurately reflect my opinion. Nor can they. I began an exit survey back in 2013 when I finished the certificate programs at the local community college I was taking. As I progressed through the questions, I realized that the questions were designed in such a way as to force the graduate, to give nothing but positive feedback in the survey. Not a single question was provided that would allow the graduate to criticize the college. Thus, the improprieties I encountered during the time I took the classes, would never be addressed, or corrected. Improprieties such as having a class on the PHP programming language that was required, and after the third week, was switched over to the Java programming language. Surveys like this are often used in tech with the claim that they want to improve service and reliability, yet, the survey very often, does not include a question regarding an actual real use problem users may encounter. Surveys like this, "that have no right or wrong answers", are used in a company hiring process to discriminate against people that have a specific, point of view. The use of these employment surveys is how company rank and file became filled with a majority of leftists that hyperventilate when one insists that only individuals that match the traditional definition of woman can bear children. All this is, is an attempt by this group of self designated superiors, to gain power and control over what scientists think and support. Surveys like these have no place in science or the hiring employment process.

  48.  @duncan.o-vic  "Well I don't see many people accepting to die in povety instead of competing with others for profit. Everything is subject to material conditions." I have found, that which ever side of this argument people are on, those that have money, are the least likely to help those in need. Those on your side of the isle, claim to be helping the poor, but all they do is exacerbate poverty with policies and programs that cannot and never will work. I've heard the arguments on both sides in many different forms. Some sound even more spiritual and truthful than your statement. In the end, it's nothing more than pure, unadulterated hate. There is no moral or spiritual law that requires the righteous to live in or die from poverty. God gives us strength to get wealth. There is nothing righteous about being poor, nor is there anything righteous about being rich. A person's financial status does not declare them holy, nor does it declare them unholy, unless they obtained their wealth through nefarious means. God gives people the power to get wealth. God is pro capitalism. Deuteronomy 8:18: But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. There is however, a moral and spiritual obligation for those that have this world's good, to help the poor. Deuteronomy 15:11: For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. 1John 3:17: But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
