       So do you believe that the earth is a globe spinning up there
       where the stars are?
       Or are you saying nothing is real?
       Or do you mean this:
       Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were
       framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were
       not made of things which do appear.
       Thanks.

       - As a man thinketh -
       Just a few years ago I, along with billions of people thought I
       was up there where the stars are, on a spinning globe as
       depicted by our science teachers by a paper or plastic globe,
       and as shown in Disney cartoons and NASA Computer graphic images
       like we see in science fiction movies.
       I believed that NASA were actually exploring other planets up
       there where the stars are, and was anxious what kind of life
       they will find on Mars. I was hoping to one day see; "My
       Favorite Martian".
       Oh yeah, and that Jesus and his Apostles were Christians, and
       that the Roman Catholic Christian Church was a take off from
       Apostle Peter, and that over time it just became corrupt as
       Satan took more and more hold of Christs Church.
       I accepted all this (and a lot more fantastic stories) through
       "blind faith" which is what I, and everyone in my old Church
       thought was how we are to come to Christ, and through listening
       to Christian Preachers, Teachers, Elders for they were the
       mouthpiece of God,and that upon my death I will be escorted by
       winged Angels into Heaven and be with the Lord forever more.
       Oh yeah, and having gone to many, many, many funerals in my life
       of Christians, Atheists, Muslim, Hindu, Mormon, I accepted (or
       more like never bothered to think about it) that at the end,
       EVERYONE goes to Heaven, even those who I knew were atheist and
       didn't believe in God, or His son Jesus Christ. They were all
       sent off to Heaven to be with all their atheist, Christian,
       Muslim, Mormon, Mafioso (whatever) loved ones who have passed on
       before. I have never, ever heard of anyone sent off to become
       "one with the universe"!?
       Adrian Rogers sermons were beautiful, Biblical (for the most
       part) and really touched my heart every time me and my family
       listened to him, just like Billy Graham, but now that I woke up
       to mind boggling conspiracies, I realized that my Christian
       Religion was the culprit in training me through doctrines, and
       even MK-ultra to accept everything that TPTB told us, starting
       with our Teachers, Ministers, Government officials, Presidents
       etc. What I'm saying is that for the last 1,700 years we have
       been trained to accept an alternate reality, and there is no
       better way to describe this than what today our Military
       Government calls science, and what Religions call God.
       Any opinions, comments, suggestions or questions?
       Thank you.

       [shadow=blue,left]you said: "that for the last 1,700, we have
       been trained" is not exactly right.
       Up until the late 1800 and early 1900's the flat earth was real.
       Until the late 1940 and 1950's did the Military, and NASA (1952)
       change this. At this time, the schools began teaching the Globe
       to all children. The Churches did not have much choice but to
       get on board the 'Globed earth train' after the science came out
       in support of the GLOBE.   It was either go along with it or be
       labeled a crazy and have no church.
       So don't blame them (Churches) too hard as most of them had
       rather have a congregation and the ability to save some lives
       for GOD.
       Anyone of us who have decide to follow the WORD of GOD, are
       labeled as crazy, idiots, etc. our Plight is catching on, for
       there are more of us today than there were at the beginning of
       the 21st century.

       Earliest actual globe used to identify the earth:
       The earliest extant terrestrial globe was made in 1492 by Martin
       Behaim (1459–1537) with help from the painter Georg Glockendon.
       Behaim was a German mapmaker, navigator, and merchant. Working
       in Nuremberg, Germany, he called his globe the "Nürnberg
       Terrestrial Globe." It is now known as the Erdapfel.
       Celestial globe was named 天體儀 in Qing
       Dynasty. The one in Beijing Ancient Observatory was made by
       Belgian missionary Ferdinand Verbiest (南懷仁)
       1673 C.E. Unlike other Chinese celestial globes, it employs 360
       degrees rather than the 365.24 degrees (which is a standard in
       ancient China).

       You have that backwards brother, .. we "give up our physical
       lives" for God, not try to save it at any cost. God is not dead
       for real, He can save a small remnant for himself even with
       Lucifer/Satan running the world by it's own made up Religious
       system.
       As you can see, it all points to Rome and The Church of Rome,
       and the Germans.
       I mean just look who runs NASA.gov space, also the U.S., .. the
       UN, .. the World, .. tells us what is science and what is not,
       ..  it's the Germans.
       And who runs the Germans? The Church of Rome, specifically the
       Jesuits.
       The Pope runs and governs the Catholic side of Christianity
       included ar (atheism, Islam, Luciferianism, and all the other
       Religions) , and the Germans starting with Luther runs the
       Protestant side, and they control the main philosophy regarding
       the Bible, the main idea, which is; how to interpret the God of
       the Bible and it's the same on both sides; the Catholic and the
       Protestant, and it is interpreted through Christian Trinity
       Doctrine!
       Who put the first globes into Chine Ming, Qing dynasty?
       Ferdinand Verbiest
       - Father Ferdinand Verbiest was a Flemish Jesuit missionary in
       China during the Qing dynasty. He was born in Pittem near Tielt

       today see it was always the opposite. The plan was always to

       Glad to be here Brother.
       You said: ".. and we agree on some things."
       This is why I started this O.P. to hopefully get some responses
       to my way of thinking, and if I'm off, to receive some alternate
       views with evidence. I want to hear more on what we don't agree
       on then on what we do!
       I know we agree on the globe conspiracy created by the R.C.
       Christians (aka Jesuits), what do you think of my understanding
       of the word "Christian"? Do you think the early Believers
       (before Constantine) called themselves Christian? Or is it just
       like the Bible says in Acts 11:26 that it was the Gentiles who
       mock-called the Believers “Christian”, but in the Bible we see
       that they never referred to themselves as Christians, but of
       “the Way”!
       Acts 11:26
       and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole
       year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great
       numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at
       Antioch.
       Yet later in Acts 19 he says;
       Acts 19:3 And about that time there arose a great commotion
       about “the Way”.
       Why wouldn't the author of Acts who in chapter 11 mentions the
       disciples being called "Christian" later in Acts 19:3 call them
       Christian instead of "the Way"?
       Here we see King Agrippa mocking Paul:
       Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest
       me to be a Christian.
       I can almost hear the laughter in the court!
       And here we see how insulting and annoying it started to become
       to the Early Believers, or Disciples, those who were of “the
       Way”:
       1 Peter 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not
       be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
       Now I understand that we will suffer for following Christ, but
       please consider the context this is in? First, why would the
       author say the word Christian instead of "If anyone suffer for
       the sake of Christ" let him not be ashamed?
       Because no disciple of Christ would ever consider following
       Jesus a "shame", none. Instead, they rejoiced to eve suffer
       physical punishment for his name sake.
       But, like if people keep calling me a Flattard, it does get on
       my nerves, and becomes annoying knowing what we know, .. right?
       Well the same we see here, the author is reminding Believers,
       those who referred to themselves as followers of "the Way" that
       it's not just physical suffering and want that we have to bear,
       but mocking also.
       Now there Is a Group that took that name "Christian", and made a
       Religion out of it, and we know its history. What more proof do
       we need not to associate ourselves with that name?
       The early disciples never used that name, there is no mention of
       any Apostles refer to themselves or other "churches" by that
       name, and knowing the dark and blood drenched history of the
       R.C. Christians, should be enough to know that Christ would
       never associate with such Religion.
       Or is it my stand against the Trinity doctrine that you don't
       agree with?
       Whenever you have time Brother?
       Remember, no matter how much we may disagree, I would never quit
       because of disagreement, nor would I "agree to disagree". That
       would not be my Lords will. We have to stand against all
       opposing thoughts, beliefs and Religions.
       It is the Christian Forums that ban me, and that is because they
       have to defend their Religion, not the truth, and the Moderators
       even admit that it is not that what I say is not Biblical, but
       just that it goes against "Christian Doctrine".

       hard for me to refer to myself as something other than Christian
       in a theological context. I see nothing wrong with calling
       yourself a follower of the way and it will get people to think.
       There are way too many denominations and doctrines under the
       "Christian" Umbrella. Paul said that he knew nothing but Christ
       Crucified. I can certainly accept that they were first called
       Christians as a  mockery. Originally a negative connotation that
       stuck with us perhaps. I do tend to disagree about the trinity
       still but I'm also not 100% convinced about certain details. I
       cannot deny the clear words of John chapter 1. Plus the numerous
       other references to the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. I can
       promise that you will never get banned either here or at TF.

       Ah, thank you Mr. Patrick, I actually found an intellectually
       superior Moderator, I hope and pray others follow in your
       footsteps.
       In the beginning, I really thought I was sinning when I
       suggested for Believers to get out of Christianity. I prayed
       about it for months, I double checked myself, I listened to
       suggestions, to Warnings, but not one pushed me away from my
       initial understanding that the name "Christian", and what it
       stands for is bad.
       Not only did any suggestion against me "blaspheming" (yes, I was
       even told I was blaspheming) Christians, instead each added more
       evidence reassuring me that I was doing the right thing.
       Actually, it is almost exactly how I came to realize that the
       earth was not some globe spinning and wobbling up there amongst
       the stars.
       There too, I read the Bible and it says: God created the Heaven
       and the Earth. It is much later He put the star up there.
       Nowhere in the Bible does it say; "God then took the earth and
       made it into a ball, a globe, and made it orbit the sun along
       with other earths, or planets held there by gravity. I mean
       think about it, starting with gravity, to a thousand things that
       are involved in keeping the globe in this imaginary space, yet
       Not One is mentioned in creation!?
       No quasars, no black holes, no supernovas, as if God wasn't even
       at His creation. No wonder that this Big Bang theory alienates
       God from His creation, and why pseudoscience makes Gods creation
       for the simpleminded. Here is Gods creation:
       Genesis 1:1 God created the Heaven and the earth"
       And here is the Big Bang Theory:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang
       Or,
       "How to remake a Big-Bang":
  HTML https://www.space.com/25126-big-bang-theory.html
       Now how would anything in the Bible fit in with all the physics
       and mathematics that go into creating the Big-Bang, right?
       Well same with the word "Christian, and Christianity" where God
       is just way too simple when interpreted from a non-trinitarian
       Early Disciples perspective, them simple sheepherders and
       fisherman, simply: "God is Infinite, God is One, and there is no
       other gods beside Him".
       Trinity: Oh, but God is not really One, but is far more complex
       than that. God is really made up of three individuals with free
       will, in which any one of them could die. But to understand this
       is a mystery, no human mind could really comprehend God (noticed
       that any time anyone tries to understand, or question the
       Trinity-doctrine, they are right away told that they are
       questioning and trying to understand God, .. and not the
       Trinity.
       Just like in the Globe-earth, the same with associating
       ourselves with Cristian and Christian doctrine, when we learn
       the truth, it will not only become obvious it is not the truth,
       and not Biblical, but you will see how detrimental it can be to
       our faith in and walk with Christ.
       I mean the word Christ may be in there, but just as with "Flat
       earth" and "Globe-earth", just because the word "earth" is in
       both, you have to admit that they don't mean the same.
       Just as gravity is part of Globe-earth, the Trinity-gods are
       part of Christianity.
       Remember that other Christian Debating Site we were on? Why was
       I banned like three or four times? Was it because I mocked God,
       or said some derogatory things against the validity of the
       Bible? Of course not, there are atheists there that say all
       kinds of things against God, against Jesus and against the
       Bible. As long as they don't go against Christianity and it's
       Trinity Doctrine, .. they are tolerated even protected, ..
       right?

       Yes true; "There are way too many denominations and doctrines
       under the "Christian" Umbrella", .. but not under Christs
       Church. A Baptist Christian will not attend a Catholic Christian
       Church, or a JW, or a Mormon, or a Presbyterian, or any other
       denomination. Do you think the disciples in the Church of Rome
       would not visit the disciples in the Church of Corinth, or
       Philadelphia?
       OK brother, let me ask you this: "Are you sure we don't live on
       a spinning, and wobbling Globe-earth that's up there amongst the
       stars in space, held in orbit around the sun that we see every
       day going over our heads, by gravity, .. that God just forgot to
       mention in all the thousands of letters he had his Prophets, His
       son Word preach and teach which his Apostles documenting it
       all"?
       Does it say: "God created the Heaven, the stars, and earth
       amongst the stars?" Because that's what these pseudoscientists
       are telling us, including the Christian Pope. Well this really
       took off when Rome took on the Christian name, and reinterpreted
       God through a Doctrine they made up.
       Now let you and me just think about this for a minute brother; a
       Gentile pagan gods worshiping nation like Rome was, and Rome Is,
       .. created a very important doctrine to explain who God is. Not
       just who He is, but "His very Nature"!?
       Which for some reason God didn't reveal to one of His chosen
       Prophets amongst His Chosen People (corrupt as they may be, even
       Jesus admitted that) or to any of Christs Apostles, but to Rome
       itself, certified by the gentile pagan gods worshipping Emperor
       Constantine.
       If that right there is not something extremely contradicting to
       the Bible, then we might as well mock Jesus as Monty Python did
       in their movies like: "The Life of Brian", and Christians can
       even claim Jesus was actually a Roman, because Brother, the
       trinity-gods sure fit in with all the Roman gods, don't they?
       You know, "sun-god, Christmas on December 25, baby Thammuz as
       Jesus, then that Christian Easter celebration etc. how can we
       even blame people confusing the Christian gods with the pagan
       gods of old?
       We CAN'T because they are the same ones.

       1. Plus the numerous other references to the Father, Son and
       Holy Ghost.
       --- End Quote ---
       All references to the son Word and to the Holy Ghost are made as
       "son Word aka Jesus Christ, and Holy Ghost", never as God.
       Let's go further, we are all to represent ourselves as if God
       was in us also, our bodies as the Temple of God, for the Spirit
       of God lives in us, and it is written that we are to walk as if
       Christ was in us too, so ight there we could claim to be God,
       for the three is in us, the Father, the Holy Spirit and Jesus,
       .. and since all things are IN God, All hings Are from God, so
       in reality, all things ARE God since nothing exists outside of
       Infinite/God. But we don't say a tree is God, right? Well the
       same with Gods Holy Spirit or His son Word, even though they are
       all of God, including the Fiery Angel that appeared to Moses.
       Who did Moses fall before, was he worshipping the dust of the
       ground, or a Fiery Angel, or was Moses worshipping God?
       If the Fiery Angel was God (that is exactly who Moses talked to;
       "God") then why is He not included in the Trinity? Why?
       Well the same goes with Gods son Word;
       John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word,
       It does not say: "In the beginning was God" because God is
       Infinite, actually Infinite/Eternal Is God and Infinite is
       borderless, and Eternal is outside of time, thus no beginning
       nor end. But the son Is the Beginning and the End of all
       creation.
       and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
       The Trinity interpretation would be: "and God was with God, and
       God was God" totally senseless and wrong.
       The Word, that is Gods son Word Was God, just as Eve was Adam.
       Just as I said a tree was God, Heaven earth was God, everything
       and everyone was God "before the beginning", or before God
       created/beget His son Word and created all things through him.
       But this doesn't mean we worship trees, or the sun or the moon,
       or even the son Word as God, but as Lord.
       And when we worship the son, we worship God, it is Gods will,
       not the sons to have it this way.
       Why?
       Because Gods son Word became flesh, so God could reveal Himself
       to us since the son Word was worthy in heaven, and now he proved
       his worth on earth being tempted in all things just as we were
       and remained righteous to His Father making God remain in him.
       Why couldn't God just reveal Himself to us?
       Because God is invisible, and no one has really seen God himself
       at any time, only the son reveals Him. Just as the Fiery Angel,
       or thunder, or whatever and whomever, even dust like us God
       chooses to reveal Himself through, reveals God.
       2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things
       were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
       Was God with God in the beginning? No, .. the son Word was with
       God in the beginning, .. because?
       Because: "Through him all things were made; without him nothing
       was made that has been made"
       .. 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We
       have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came
       from the Father, full of grace and truth.
       Again ask ourselves: "who became flesh?" does it say: "God
       became flesh"?
       No.
       But the Trinity Doctrine Does Say God became flesh and even
       died. This is blasphemy, yet it is an accepted Christian
       Doctrine, right?
       Is it Biblical? No, because you will never find anywhere in the
       Bible saying Jesus is God.
       Now even Moses was like God unto Pharaoh, to his brother Aaron
       and to the Children of Israel, yet none of them, not Pharaoh,
       not the Egyptians, not the children of Israel, no one confused,
       or worshipped Moses as God. But here is the Romans, they make
       Jesus into God, just so they could have God killed (in the minds
       and hearts of their sheep the; Christians).

       first called Christians as a  mockery. Originally a negative
       connotation that stuck with us perhaps. I do tend to disagree
       about the trinity still but I'm also not 100% convinced about
       certain details. I cannot deny the clear words of John chapter
       1. Plus the numerous other references to the Father, Son and
       Holy Ghost.

       All references to the son Word and to the Holy Ghost are made as
       "son Word aka Jesus Christ, and Holy Ghost", never as God.
       Let's go further, we are all to represent ourselves as if God
       was in us also, our bodies as the Temple of God, for the Spirit
       of God lives in us, and it is written that we are to walk as if
       Christ was in us too, so ight there we could claim to be God,
       for the three is in us, the Father, the Holy Spirit and Jesus,
       .. and since all things are IN God, All hings Are from God, so
       in reality, all things ARE God since nothing exists outside of
       Infinite/God. But we don't say a tree is God, right? Well the
       same with Gods Holy Spirit or His son Word, even though they are
       all of God, including the Fiery Angel that appeared to Moses.
       Who did Moses fall before, was he worshipping the dust of the
       ground, or a Fiery Angel, or was Moses worshipping God?
       If the Fiery Angel was God (that is exactly who Moses talked to;
       "God") then why is He not included in the Trinity? Why?
       Well the same goes with Gods son Word;
       John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word,
       It does not say: "In the beginning was God" because God is
       Infinite, actually Infinite/Eternal Is God and Infinite is
       borderless, and Eternal is outside of time, thus no beginning
       nor end. But the son Is the Beginning and the End of all
       creation.
       and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
       The Trinity interpretation would be: "and God was with God, and
       God was God" totally senseless and wrong.
       The Word, that is Gods son Word Was God, just as Eve was Adam.
       Just as I said a tree was God, Heaven earth was God, everything
       and everyone was God "before the beginning", or before God
       created/beget His son Word and created all things through him.
       But this doesn't mean we worship trees, or the sun or the moon,
       or even the son Word as God, but as Lord.
       And when we worship the son, we worship God, it is Gods will,
       not the sons to have it this way.
       Why?
       Because Gods son Word became flesh, so God could reveal Himself
       to us since the son Word was worthy in heaven, and now he proved
       his worth on earth being tempted in all things just as we were
       and remained righteous to His Father making God remain in him.
       Why couldn't God just reveal Himself to us?
       Because God is invisible, and no one has really seen God himself
       at any time, only the son reveals Him. Just as the Fiery Angel,
       or thunder, or whatever and whomever, even dust like us God
       chooses to reveal Himself through, reveals God.
       2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things
       were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
       Was God with God in the beginning? No, .. the son Word was with
       God in the beginning, .. because?
       Because: "Through him all things were made; without him nothing
       was made that has been made"
       .. 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We
       have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came

       [/quote]I can see your line of thinking but consider this. God
       SPOKE everything into existence so in the beginning was the Word
       with a capital W = Jesus Christ is the Word. So right there you
       have God and Christ together in the beginning. The Holy Spirit
       is God's Spirit and God CONSISTS of all three. We are IN Christ
       and Christ in us, the hope of glory, which was a mystery among
       other mysteries, some secret since the world began, others
       revealed to the prophets.
       The Word is God and the Word is Christ. As God said in the
       beginning, "Let us, Let US make man in our image" - God's voice
       and His Word created all things. Read some of Job concerning God
       and creation and scriptures about God's voice and God speaking.
       In real life the father gives way to the son who becomes equal
       to or even greater than the father. Nothing is greater than the
       Father, as we know yet Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are equal
       parts of God. To me, that's the only way the Bible makes sense.
       Now, at the same time, going back to childhood I have always
       thought in my mind somehow that God is great than Jesus and the
       HS. I can't force my mind to think that God is not the greatest.
       Therefore, I do not condemn those who go against the trinity
       doctrine because I don't think God will send people to hell if
       the get the trinity wrong. They can't both be right.
