Theme: Discussion of the modern push of the flat earth theory.
Flat earth theories are a direct attack upon the Word of God leading people to question God’s Word. It has been furthered by “well meaning Christians” who have wrongly interpreted God’s Word
The problem is that many times we just memorize what we are told and don’t use scripture and reason to prove whether those things be so
Flat earthers have become flat earth evangelists
Christ warned that the last days will have false teachers and false teaching (2 Tim 2:23; 4:3, 4; 1 Tim 1:4; 6:20; Titus 3:9)
Example of their arguments
“four corners of the earth” and “ends of the earth”
If the earth were round then all couldn’t see the Lord return…
Job 38:14 speaks of the earth being flat
Most arguments that they use are from misinterpreted figures of speech (John 20:30, 31; 21:25)
Where does all this belief come from?
One of the leading men quoted by Christians believing in the flat earth theory actually doesn’t believe the scriptures and is trying to discredit the Bible
This MUST come from a conspiracy mindset
Initial belief in a spherical earth was 6th century BC mathematicians stated that the earth was a sphere
Early Christians believed in a spherical earth
It is coming from the postmodern mindset – there is no absolute truth (not initiated by Christians)
Mankind is often looking for something new to believe and something old to disbelieve/discredit
For some it is coming from a genuine question regarding God’s Word, but often refusing the fundamental explanation
Flat earthers overlook the truth that is clear to find a hidden “truth” that isn’t there
Deut 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever…
They often read everything as literally – especially when it supports their argument
