Happy to talk that off list Cheryl... I was not preaching my religion. ... I told the list why I hold to geocentrism agains all commers, no matter what religion. . I am not about debateing one religious belief versus another. Not here . Neville has his reason, I have mine...Jack has his etc.. Only recently I defended Mike to be allowed his say even though He was /is an avowed athiest. I'm here to help the fight for what we hold in common, to share our scientific knowledge, against Mikes science, not his beliefs. If we can... Philip. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cheryl B.

Well, the Pope IS the church, the Roman Catholic Church. He is infallable, Christ on Earth. So here you have the Pope in conflict with the Scripture. Which really has the authority? The Bible or a manmade religion with a leader bequeathed with imaginary, nonscriptural powers?

The Bible says it infallibly in support of that dogmatic definition. No amount of modernistic theological opinion emanating from anywhere, even the highest of the Church authorities, or the Pope himself can change that dogma. If any Pope were to try with the same legal force to contradict any previously defined dogma, then I believe emphatically, that if he did not get struck dead on the spot, (its happened in the past) then he must be an imposter pope, and a false Christian. (which is why he did not get struck dead. The Holy Ghost cannot be made a liar) > > Thus in light of that afore said belief, if I were able to show physically by a neutral polar launched orbiter, a physically moving earth towards the east, or if by my gyro experiment , the properties indicated a definite rotational movement of this world, then rather than lose any of my beliefs stated above, I would proceed to look for another explanation in the physics of gyroscopic forces, and even consider Roberts cosmic inertia, or Sungenis' universal Mass. If I could never find an answer, it would change nothing, because perhaps only God Himself is meant to understand the truth of it. After all, no man is as good as he thinks he is. Only One is perfect, and He was the essence of humility. > > Philip. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Gary Shelton > To: geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 4:51 PM > Subject: [geocentrism] Re: Did NASA do it? > > > > Philip, > > How do you now believe?
