RE: Message for Flat-Earthers

in #jesus7 years ago (edited)

I've been following flat Earth for two years now, and I still find it amazing that there are people I am unable to convince. The programming runs deep!

I don't think I've convinced anyone, so far. My mom is sympathetic but doesn't really believe it; my dad is angrily against it.

This past week while on vacation, was discussing it on the porch with my brother and brother-in-law; they were asking questions, and I was providing them with the information I had studied. My sister came out, and was very rude to me, constantly interrupting and not letting me finish my thoughts.

Cognitive dissonance can do that to a person -- it causes actual physical pain! However, I don't like the way she treated me. Anyway, thanks for sharing, and blessings!

Thank you for your testimony. Usually older people are tougher for changing their mind unless they are some really open-minded individuals, still even young people can be in denial phase for very long time. But don't worry, be patient with them and use prayers to break their blindness and wait until they are ready instead of repetitive arguing and you will see their eyes open much sooner. This mindset battle is not just factual but also very spiritual in the background and most people are really in pain before they are released to see. Be glad that you see because every exposed deception is giving you portion of freedom and is boosting your faith which is priceless.

Thanks! I agree, it is a spiritual battle. I note that we only perceive around 2% of the electromagnetic spectrum. That means that 98% of "what's out there" is stuff we cannot see!

So it's entirely possible that there are entities swirling around me right now as I'm typing this, witnessing what I'm doing and also attempting to sway me towards sin.

I like your idea of prayer, as opposed to verbal challenges. Will incorporate it. Blessings!

I'm 74 and have been convinced that we do not live on a spinning oblate spheroid, since August 2015. Provided a person is open minded, age does not matter. Of all deceptions - FE is the biggest by far!
