The devil has done such an incredible job at deceiving.
For me, understanding the shape of the earth was an eye opening experience to where there is truly zero credibility on earth. It all became tangible, from such a simple yet complex lie. God is truth and so is His word, the Authorized King James Bible. Once I began to understand terms in the bible such as the firmament and the use of directions, I was in awe of how literal the bible is and that we don't need a pastor to interpret it for us (which felt like the sentiment for most of my youth). Regardless of the fact that the shape will not change our eternity, I firmly believe it has changed my understanding of the bible. For the better. And with a renewed excitement of God's creation and His plan and that absolutely nothing else matters. It has been so easy to turn away from the deception and things of this world.
I have zero intention of changing your stance on this topic. I have truly enjoyed your material, which is only supported by scripture. I simply felt motivated to share why this topic was important to me. Thank you for your time and for your God-given mission.

So why did you write this to me in the first place? Why am I supposed to have more than zero concern about how you personally feel about something? You do understand that your letter was nothing more than your sentiments, right? You do understand that your sentiments are meaningless in the face of facts and truth, right? Do you understand that if I seriously concerned myself with how people feel about what I teach, I would have taken down almost all of my teachings by now?

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
-Jer 17:9

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
-Pro 28:26

Yeah, you "FELT"... that's my point. You do understand that my ministry is based on facts and truth, not feelings, right? So when I present facts and truth, and you respond with feelings, you do realize that it does not matter how much you claim to "enjoy" what I'm teaching because you have a DIFFERENT philosophy (i.e. way of thinking) than I do, right?

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
-Col 2:8

I have repeatedly shown where the flat-earther interpretation of Scripture is not just wrong, it's deceptive, and in this email, you have offered NO counter evidence through Scriptural context to that point, but still (for some odd reason I cannot yet figure out) thought it imperative to write to me that your feelings about the doctrines of flat-earth cultism "has changed my understanding of the bible," which you have heavily implied to mean in a positive way. This means that you're following deception, and not obeying the Lord's instructions on how we are to read Scripture, as I clearly went over in the teaching series, which I do not know for sure whether you have listened to it or not, because you did not say whether you did, nor have you stated whether or not you agree with the contextual understanding of Scripture. So ultimately, once we strip away the niceties, we can see that you wrote to tell me that it does not matter what the contextual meaning of Scripture is (or rather, it does not matter what God tries to tell you), you will follow your feelings first and foremost.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
-John 1:1

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
-Mat 15:8

What that indicates is that your way of thinking is centered around your feelings, as in people who think their personal feelings are communication from the Holy Ghost, even though there is NO Scripture to back up that sentiment. If you were to take away one thing from this letter (if you take away anything at all), I would hope it would be that the decision-maker of your philosophy is your god.

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
-Mat 15:18

We, in our church, and I in my ministry, do not think that way because that is opposed to the philosophy of Christ, which means whatever sentiments you have that have led you to believe that you and I are of like mind is FAR from accurate.

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
-Phil 2:2

In fact, it is feelings that the devil uses to deceive men because men turn to sin due to their feelings. So if you're going to follow your feelings of your heart rather than the truth, then yeah, I guess "The devil has done such an incredible job at deceiving."

Have a great day.

ROUND 2

My apologies for sharing my sentiment. You're correct, I did not approach my comments with scripture because I respectfully wasn't looking to counter argue that which you've already studied.

You can pass judgment on only what you know (regarding your response with my alleged emotion-based faith). I think that's where I bow out. I do see that you use evidence other than the bible, such as a U.S. map to add to a point, though I'm uncomfortable with sharing non-bible based evidence.

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
-Isaiah 2:22

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
-Proverbs 2:3-5

My apologies for sharing my sentiment.
No, you can take that back where you found it. That's not an "apology" for anything. That's you trying to make yourself look like a victim for sharing your feelings, and I'm not playing that female game with you.

You can pass judgment on only what you know (regarding your response with my alleged emotion-based faith).
No, I judge righteous judgment (John 7:24) based on the evidence of your words. There's no alleging anything, you're just in denial at this point because admission would cause you to have to humble yourself to the truth of the Word of God instead of adhering to another god you called "my sentiments."

This is about what you say, and being held accountable for what you say. Jesus holds us accountable for emails too:

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
-Mat 12:36

You didn't deny any of what I told you, but you also seem to not care what I told you in the first letter because your feelings are more important to you than the truth, and if that was not the case, you wouldn't have written that letter to me in the first place.

So what should I conclude? Thus far, you are only showing me the example that I have seen from typical flat-earth cultists: they care nothing for context and understanding of the Word of God, they refuse to reason the matter out, and flat-earth becomes their god.

You've only made it worse because there was glaring hypocrisy in your second letter that was more disastrous than the first:
I do see that you use evidence other than the bible, such as a U.S. map to add to a point, though I'm uncomfortable with sharing non-bible based evidence.
So you claim to be "uncomfortable with sharing non-bible based evidence," but yet, you shared your feelings for why you're clinging to flat-earth principles, which is "non-bible based evidence," and in your first letter...
Once I began to understand terms in the bible such as the firmament and the use of directions, I was in awe of how literal the bible is
...you made reference to "the firmament and the use of directions" which was an indirect reference to false narrative of flat-earth cultists to use Scripture out of its context (as I demonstrated in my teaching series which I'm starting to suspect you have NOT listened to), despite the fact that is "non-bible based evidence" as well. That is completely backwards from a way of thinking that would honor Jesus Christ.

I'll make this simple: By sending me these letters and having this conversation, what specifically do you want from me?

If you want me to help you justify your anti-Christ ideology of "emotions-based" so-called "bible study," I cannot and will not do that. However, if there is something else you want that you have not made known yet, let me know and we can talk about it.

ROUND 3

I am sincere and have no intent to be a victim. I was simply addressing that you were right about my initial message. This is quite the jump. I was hoping to glean more from your studying, though it has become abundantly clear that this needs to end. Thank you for your time and sharing scripture.

---

You started out saying you had "no intent" to be a victim.
Then, you proceeded to finish your letter by making yourself out to be a victim. I rest my case. That feminist attitude, and anti-Christ "emotion-based" so-called "bible study" is not welcome here either. I hope you depart in peace. Have a great day.
