I don't think that the flat earth can be said to be something that's made up by me. The belief in a flat earth was held by most Catholics for the first 1500 years of the Church. The flat earth existed long before any of us were born, and it was created by God, and it's described in Scripture, though Scripture doesn't specifically say..."the earth is a flat plane."
The ancient Hebrews believed that the earth is a flat plane, with the firmament above, and the waters above the firmament. This is how they interpreted Scripture - the very same Scripture that we are supposed to accept, even though the Church has not specifically ruled on the shape of the earth.
.
The ancient Hebrews had a lot of problems. They never got around to establishing a canon of Sacred Scripture, for example. They liked to talk about Scripture and they quoted from "the Scriptures" but by the time of Christ what one Jєω meant by "scripture" was not what another meant by "scripture." So there was a lot of confusion.
.
Our Lord set things straight by His example, when He always referred to the Septuagint version of Scripture whenever He quoted from "Scripture."
.
A lot of ancient Hebrews did not believe in an afterlife. Does that mean there might not be any afterlife, after all, that's what (some) ancient Hebrews believed.
.
There never were ANY ancient Hebrews who believed in God as a Trinity of three divine persons having one substance. So is that what we should believe too?
.
The ancient Hebrews had no particular use for virginity as an aspect of religious practice. The High Priest was never a virgin and there was no order of women or of men who were consecrated virgins in the Hebrew religion from the time of Adam. So is that what we should be doing, too?
.
The fact that Jesus had no wife and lived the example of consecrated virginity was actually a scandal to the Hebrews of His time and the mere thought that this would become some kind of new teaching was a great impediment for them because not unlike the Harvey Weinsteins of today, their god was their belly and they worshiped their libido and that's the way they liked it, thank you very much.
.
The ancient Hebrews did not have any desire or intention or even a calling from God to spread their faith to the world. Those other guys out there who were not of God's "chosen people" were called Gentiles, or "strangers." The ancient Hebrews had nothing to do with them, if they could help it. So should we imitate them and shut down the missions immediately?
.
You guys keep saying that "God made the earth flat" but you don't have any Scripture to back that up. There is a Koran verse, though, that literally says that
the earth was made flat (Quran 88:17-20)..
Are you actually crypto-Moslems pretending to be Catholic?
