People claim that there are no direct flights from South Africa to Australia, but I saw a direct one from Johannesburg to Australia , it was very expensive, but only about 12 hours and some people claim that they actually took the flight, so its not bogus. I know most of the flights go via the east but this really rattle my case. ???
for me, the Bible codes are a knock out blow for the supernatural origin of Scripture;

I know that the Bible is inspired by God and that He is the source of all truth. I do however also believe that God has to communicate to us in a way that we can understand because His thoughts and ways are beyond our understanding. i have questions about both the flat earth and the globe model and even other dimentions, for every thing people can prove on one side, there are others that claims to prove the opposite. I will still search for the truth and pray for discernment. I also think people can be civilised in discussing opposite views and not being rude when someone disagrees. Everybody has to make up his own mind according to his beliefs.
I just googled a flight from Johannesburg to Perth, South African Airways have one that last about 9 hours. Some of the other airlines also fly directly from SA to Australia
You claim: "The distance of 7,228 miles looks to be accurate according to the Gleeson's flat earth map, yet the value of 10,359 is exagerrated it should probably be no more than 8,000 miles on the Gleeson's flat earth map."I just googled a flight from Johannesburg to Perth, South African Airways have one that last about 9 hours.

The really long route according to the Gleeson's New Standard Map of the World (Flat Earth Map) is from Australia to South America (not South Africa). Strangely if you look at flight times for Melbourne on the globe websites you get longer flight times from New York than Buenos Aries.
According to: http://www.travelmath.com
Melbourne, Australia -> Buenos Aries, Argentina = 14 hours, 57 minutes
Melbourne, Australia -> Buenos Aries, Argentina = 7,228 miles / 11 633 km
Melbourne, Australia -> New York, USA = 10,359 miles / 16 672 km
Melbourne, Australia -> New York, USA = 21 hours, 13 minutes
The distance of 7,228 miles looks to be accurate according to the Gleeson's flat earth map, yet the value of 10,359 is exagerrated it should probably be no more than 8,000 miles on the Gleeson's flat earth map.
So if that's the case how do they fake a curvature? It looks like what they are doing is going direct according to the flat earth map for the southern hemisphere yet manipulating the northern hemisphere routes to pad the times to portray a curvature.
In other words, a direct flight from New York to Melbourne should really take no more than 14 hours yet they take a long cut and make it take 21 hours.

I recommend going on YouTube and looking up the "long haul" argument. You can also do a search for "flights flat earth."
Although the videos won't cover Antarctica, they cover a principle. That principle is that just because a flight is advertised does not mean it exists. The videos will explain it better. It does't take anything for them to [make up] a standard flight, and then write a little storyline around it. But booking one yourself may prove to be a completely different story. Suddenly your flight has been canceled and you're asked to rebook... that sort of thing.
I recommend to anyone to go one one of those websites where you can make flights and start playing flight-point roulette.
As far as what the Bible says.
If you're a man of faith then perhaps you're familiar with 1 Timothy 3:16. It says that "All scripture is inspired of God...." That means that although men wrote it, it was divinely authored. So yes men wrote the words; but when it comes to accuracy it does't rely on the perspectives of the humans secretaries who penned God's thoughts.
And no, your salvation does not depend on whether or not you believe in the flat earth. But whether it's true or not makes a difference between whether or not God is a liar, or men are liars.
"let God be found true, even if every man be found a liar" —Romans 3:4
"Although claiming they were wise, they became foolish" —Romans 1:22
My only word of caution to you would be, do you really want to go down this rabbit hole?
Ephesians 4:25 tells us that we are under obligation to speak the truth to one another. What happens once you dig into this matter and find it to be true, is that you're locked in a position where you either have to shut your mouth about science, or speak the truth about it, and look like a fool—which is pretty much 100% guaranteed under the present world-mentality. I used to love talking about science, but now I find myself keeping my mouth shut most of the time.
You have to know how to pick your battles with this thing. Myself I tend to stick to proving that relativity and gravity is wrong, and thanks to some prominent scientists who are promoting geocentricism, now that's a safe subject to discuss with people and present evidence. But saying "flat earth" is a good way to lose respect fast.
So do you really want to look into it? Because salvation is not reliant upon knowing the truth about the flat earth, this may be a matter in which ignorance is bliss. But the good thing is that when God's name is vindicated, those who knowingly spread the lie will not be in existence, and the truth will be revealed one way or another. I tend to believe it's going to be revealed in the last hour—as indicated by scripture.

Hi, I am new here and new to the flat earth theory. From a biblical sense it makes a lot of sense to me. Jesus said when he comes again every eye will see him and I always wondered how that could be if the earth is a globe.
