Recently I have been looking into claims that we may have been lied to about the nature of our world. Flat earth theory seemed ludicrous to me until some intelligent people for whom I have great respect showed me some pretty convincing arguments that got me thinking a bit...well actually a lot. This morning I read a scripture that got me wondering if it even matters anymore at this point;
"Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”Revelation 21:1-5New International Version (NIV)
In light of the fact that this earth will "pass away" I guess it may not be worth my time to worry too much about it? But then, if I've been lied to, it really ticks me off. Lucifer, Satan, is "the father of lies" according to scripture and therefore he is behind all deception. I want to know the truth. Looking back I can see in history how he has used the lie of evolution and more recently the lie of man made "global warming" to steer man away from the all powerful Creator. It never occurred to me until recently that there is a possibility that an even bigger lie further back (globe theory) may have led to the more recent deceptions. A future deception that I think may be the "strong delusion" referred to in scripture could be dependent on belief in these three lies (globe, evolution, and climate change). This future deception would top them all and lead to complete subjugation of humankind to satan.
We are already being primed for this deception with the UFO craze and E.T. encounters. I believe all "extra terrestrials" are demonic in origin but there are those authority in our world who are actively worshipping satan and promote the idea that these E.T.s are intelligent beings that can help us. They may even promote the idea of "Intelligent design" and "deceive even the elect" (another scripture indicating how strong the coming delusion will be) by declaring that our creation was performed by these super intelligent extra terrestrials at a point in history and left on our own under their supervision, and only now that we have messed up our world so severely (climate change) have they returned to save us.
I will continue to check out the evidence for a flat stationary earth for these reasons. Anyone interested in joining me should probably check out Rob Skiba's videos on you tube for a Christian perspective and also Eric Dubay for a secular view.
You have always been a thinker and I appreciate the time and thoughtful research you have put into this. Thanks for sharing!

I don't think that the earth is flat, it's imposible
You could be right but lately I've seen a lot of very good arguments that have got me thinking big time about this subject. Check out Eric Dubay on you tube and Rob Skiba. There are a lot of trolls on you tube that make it sound crazy but these guys have some serious arguments that make sense. You can check out some simple evidence for yourself; try finding curvature. You won't. The formula for curvature given by "science" is 8 inches per mile, squared. That is very steep and could be seen easily if it existed when viewing an ocean horizon. There is a photo of the Chicago skyline from across Lake Michigan at a distance of 60 miles which should not be visible if the earth had curvature. (60 squared times 8 inches = 2400 feet below the horizon)
If you watch an ocean horizon, the distance you can see to the horizon is only half the distance you can see to the left and right of that and yet you don't se any curve. If a ship disappears from view they tell you it went over the curve. If this was true you wouldn't be able to bring it back into view with a pair of binoculars, but you can.
