As a real Christian I can confirm it is flat, the Bible says it is and flat earthers are constantly beating round earthers in debates

Also if you look out at the horizon, you can see that it doesn't curve, which GoPro cameras are edited to do

And for some reason NASA spelled the word SEX in the clouds, I don't know why but that was in one of the new earth pictures.

First of all, I’m not sure what debates you’re watching my guy, cause I’ve never seen a flat earth debate where the flat earther didn’t look like they were boofing that good shit.
Second, it isn’t a debatable topic. It has been a scientifically proven fact that it is round. The reason you cannot see the curve with your eyes is because of how f**king massive the planet is and how limited our view is.
Third, the Bible is not evidence.

Why don't you try watching a video or two where it says a flat earther proves around earthers wrong? See if it changes your view a little. I've seen videos like that where the round earthers wins.

Also, the Bible is the ultimate authority for evidence. It is also the beginning of knowledge my friend

I’ve never seen one where the flat earther had credible evidence. The Bible is not evidence because it is faith. It is not a provable fact. It is perfectly valid to believe in faith, but it isn’t scientific evidence

Well the Bible says it's flat, and when scientifically tested, it's true

If the laws of gravity applied with how it says it does on a round earth model, then going up in a hot air balloon would allow you to see the earth spinning below you. It doesn't mean that you'll spin in the air at the same pace as the earth and land in the same spot

Because the hot air balloon retains the initial velocity as the rotation of the earth. You and the air around you spin with the Earth, and without a force to counteract that, it will stay that way. It’s the same reason why you can jump in a moving airplane without moving backwards.
Not researching isn’t an excuse to be stupid

So if there was a contradicting force, your saying I could jump in the air and land in a different country ?

No dude (how f**king fast do you think the earth spins???😭) You can physically test this on your own time. Go for a walk in your neighborhood or something with a ball. As you walk, toss the ball in the air and catch it when it comes back down. The ball moves with you because it inherited your movement and force. The law of inertia explains this. Unless interfered with, the balloon will move with the earth, as will you. There isn’t a counter active force for the rotation, so everything moves with the earth

But a hot air balloon doesn't have any motion

It's not being pushed by anything

It just floats in the air

That happens because of air resistance dumbass. That is an example of a counteractive force. Anything moving that fast encounters friction and drag from the air. In the examples of the ballon and the ball, they move with you. If there were to be heavy wind that day, then yes, they wouldn’t retain that motion because of a counteractive force.

So your saying the earth would just pass you by if there was heavy rain?
0 ups, 2w
Yes. Wind is affected by the earth rotation, but doesn’t move alongside it because of other factors, namely the Coriolis effect (which is also cause by the earths rotation)

Because the air and atmosphere the clouds exist in inherits the force from the earths rotation. They move with the earths rotation, but are also affected by other factors. Thats why they move with the wind and are affected by other types of factors that cause weather as we experience it.

But does wind and gravity go hand on hand?
0 ups, 2w,

No, because it is not enough force to counteract the earths force. The rain is also moving with the earth
0 ups, 2w
But it comes from clouds that don't move along with the earth because clouds just float there or get slightly pushed by the wind

It does have motion.

Because it is moving with the earth.

Because it inherited the earths movement.

You only perceive it as not moving because you and the earth move with it. Relative to us, it is motionless, but it is actually moving. It isn’t that hard to understand

No dude, if your riding in the back of a truck and you let a lantern go in the air, the truck will drive away from it. It doesn't inherit the motion like that as your ball theory said.
0 ups, 2w
The laws of gravity still can't explain that, they just say it happens because it happens. There isn't any actual proof or scientific understanding of why that happens

The Bible never says the earth is flat. The closest argument one could say is that the Bible says "the ends of the earth" but usually when this is said, it's referring to an instruction to preach or spread information across the whole Earth
It also could be a translation with double meanings (as that often happens with different languages). For example, some translations opt to say "remotest parts of the earth" instead of "ends of earth"

Also, I've seen many pro-flat earth videos, and many of them begin with "what if" scenarios, take the "what if" as fact, argue from there, and reach a conclusion. They also often just throw out any opposing arguments that challenge their pov.
Also the flat earth model makes no sense bc of the moon's reflection of the sun, which is always blocked by earth. If Earth was flat, we'd have very different moon phases.
And there's no way the Earth's gravity comes from rocketing upwards like Sokovia in Avengers 2. That would mean everything around us would be doing the same thing despite not being flat. The moon, sun, planets, Milky Way, other galaxies, etc.

Here's the craziest part. The flat earth community will call every picture of space a hoax. This barely makes any sense bc CGI was trash in the 60s and NASA would never have been able to fool the globe into believing a staged moon landing back then; plus, in order for such a conspiracy to even work, the Space Race would have been staged, and since the Space Race was a direct result of the tensions leading to the Cold War [the USSR vs USA's political opinions spreading throughout the world], this would make the 1950s contrast between communism and capitalism completely staged, which is completely impossible. If we faked the moon landing, the USSR would've gone out of their way to prove it. Bc of political tensions in the 50s, there is absolutely no way we faked the moon landing.

Okay to start with, the Bible says the earth shape takes after a seal under a stamp. So the earth would be shaped like a pancake or bottle cap

And I've seen videos that start with what ifs for a round earth too, but for a flat earth I think that the moon is a bit below the sun because it eclipses the sun, not too sure which one is above tho. But the Bible said the sun moves in a circuit over the earth. Psalm 19:6

And I mean maybe NASA's tech was just better enough to make an earth picture? I mean the moon landing quality was pretty bad. I don't know why an earth picture looks way better. And a lot of NASA's pictures of Mars have been traced back to actual deserts in the middle east and such and proven false. And I saw that on the Apollo 11 some pieces of the rocket the landed were made out of some tin foil and shower curtains.

Wait, where's that verse?

No, it specifically says the sun moves across the sky from one side to the other, which is exactly how we see the sun. Also, Psalms are poetic prayers and there's a lot of creative liberties in them. Using a psalm to prove something scientific is a bit reaching much. David was a musician, a king, and a battle strategist, but wasn't a scientist by any means. Also, most people believed the earth was flat throughout history until Ferdinand Megellan sailed across the world and ended up back home.

Yeah but camera quality was also trash in the 60s. It was leagues better than CGI though. Unless NASA had access to CGI that even Hollywood couldn't get. Which is not possible bc Hollywood makes way too much money. Also, like I said earlier, there's absolutely no way that given the state of the tension between the US and USSR, that they would've faked anything, bc it would've been dismantled by the other side. If we faked out moon landing, Russia and any other enemy of ours has had 66 years to prove it.

Psalm 19.6 is located in the nineteenth chapter of psalms, verse six

I read the whole chapter before saying anything

As a real Christian we don't claim flat earthers
