In November of 2016, my "brother from another mother" asked me to watch a movie produced by a man named David Murphy. Rob and I often talk about the bible, our liberty in Christ, world events or the state of this country. Rob is one of the smartest men that I know, a man who is "self-made" and a lover of truth! This in fact helped lead me to a journey down a path I would have never thought I'd take, I journey taking me to discover that the earth we live on is not a globe but instead a flat plain!

The very notion of this topic is absurd and unrealitic to 99% of people. I watched the video short because Rob was a "truther" and in my dealings with him, he is extremely detail-oriented. If he asked me to consider something, out of love and respect for him, I would investigate. I had to admit, this topic was intriguing. But after really thinking about why the physical evidence showed we lived on a flat plain, I came to the conclusion that this journey first started in 2001 when my family and two other families were asked to leave a church fellowship for embracing truths about Jesus Christ that proved to magnify what He did for the mankind at Calvary; truths that I had not considered before.

Another friend of mine who is now with Christ, Pete Bruno, loved me enough to come to my house with another saint, Bruce Watson, to share both biblical and dispensational (a bad word today....) truths that are in our bible today but hidden by ignorant men, in some instances unintentionally, in other instances to control men's minds in order to make merchandise out of them. When these biblical truths were shared over the next year at our small local assembly which I co-pastored at, they were eventually rejected by the Sanhedrin and for reasons that had nothing to do with the word of God, three families including mine were asked to leave.
Over the next several months I learned a lot about people, their fears, their doubts and even about their allegiances to men and not God. Out of a congregation of 60+ members and 100+ regular attendees at the time, we had less than three inquiries trying to find out what happened to us. My wife and I served this local assembly for about 6 years with the last 4 being directly involved as a co-pastor. But I honestly was more upset with the fact how little regard people had for the word of God which in turn (the natural course) impacted their ability to demonstrate enough love to attempt to even reconcile the fact that 3 families were asked to leave a fellowship without really understanding why...

While this event turned out to be one of the biggest blessings of our lives and my life personally, it enabled me to break free and start my current digital ministry, I began to wonder how and why other Christians would allow such things to occur. I was also beginning to realize that churches were really more like mental institutions instead of healing places fueled by love. Why was there was back-biting, gossip, self-righteousness, loneliness and hurt quietly but yet passively occurring I wondered. I'd bet this is the state of most churches today. Again, I arrived at a point in my thinking about all that had happened and wondered what the secular world was doing if "the church" was treating its members in a similar fashion based on my experiences. It was also around early 2000 that I began to get my horizontal questions (man to man, politics, etc...) answered through alternate news sources, rather than the fake news of the day that was on cable TV. I would realize later I was indeed a "truther", I just didn't know it because I thought everyone was a truther. What I have found is that most people are asleep. I don't say that with condemnation or judgment, or as if I sit in some superior intellectual domain, I say it factually. I can also say it unbiasedly because I was asleep so this syndrome of "sleepiness" is easy to spot once you have the balls to admit your own state of mind and come to grips with your own sin nature, tendencies and things of the flesh. 

Cognitive dissonance is a term that has popped up where it is really hard to get the organic meaning these days. But it is basically the mental discomfort and triggering that arises when a person holds two or more contradictory beliefs, values, or attitudes simultaneously and despite the hardcore evidence against these deeply held beliefs, they are not willing to consider changing them. This really began to surface in the political domain but I have found it to be true in the religious world. 

So, in 2001, "9/11" came and then the stories that were part of the command media of TV and store-bought newspapers were quite different from what I was finding on my own about this horrific event. After I watched a video entitled "Loose Change" which factually challenged the commonly reported events of 9/11 and who was really responsible, through eyewitness interviews, actual, suppressed, news footage, looking back from this writing, it was my first foray into an actual conspiracy. Not a conspiracy "theory", (a term the CIA created) but an actual conspiracy against all that I loved, voted for and believed to be true.

The next decade took me through a journey of "truth-pursuit" into areas that the average person would not even consider because they are being deceived into thinking that the world we live in is much more ethical, safe, truthful, real, and loving than it really is. All the while I pondered about the thought "if the church could do things to hurt its members, what would the world do to people?" I had my answer and I often think of the apostle Paul's quote in the book of Romans; "let God (His word) be true and every man a liar".

One horrid example, of "waking up" that has now exploded on the scene and outside of religious faith systems to the average person, is the sexual abuse that has occurred in the "traditional" church setting. Should we ever get use to these allegations as members continue to come forward in not just the orthodox churches but all denominations??  Our children being touched, groped and abused in ways I can't even articulate here in places of worship, supposedly safe...let that sink in. And it got so bad that the actual news agencies that cover up pretty much everything we see through some type of slant or spin ACTUALLY reported it! I sometimes wonder if this is done because we are so asleep that the sport of it all isn't challenging any longer to the elitists that are behind this. Babylon is alive and well...

Up until this point it was now natural for me to poke at just about anything that would appear to be true... As if being a truther is some noble thing or something you'd have to brand yourself because of the environment that we live in. I see that nothing has really changed:

Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. - Isaiah 29:16 

When the apostle Paul preached in Thessalonica, he was accused of turning their world upside down. Paul, preaching Christ, was accused of turning their world upside down. Are you getting the association? If Satan is the prince of the power of the air and this is still his domain (no longer legally because of Christ's work at Calvary), is it a stretch to think that things will indeed be upside down??? In his earthly ministry, look at what Christ Himself said when speaking against the leaders of Israel:

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

So, it became easier for me to get to a "flat earth" posture because afterwards, I realized you have to be steeped in truth before you organically would be able to handle the magnitude of what amounts to be the 2nd biggest lie to face mankind. Disclosing the 1st lie is really the thrust of my life and ministry and what I spend most of my time doing.

With the backdrop set, let me continue to the main topic of how I personally came to embrace God's flat plain.

 

In the hour I reviewed the David Murphy video from Gatekeeping YouTube, I saw many, many practical examples and proofs that passively validated some things I had often wondered about, maybe even questioned while pondering a globe existence in the first place. Is it me or have you also wondered about how one of the two hemispheres would have to have someone standing upside down like a fly stuck to a tennis ball? How about "gravity" itself? 13 pounds per square inch force on our bodies but I can lift my arm with ease? After all Issac Newton (alchemist and Free Mason) identified "gravity" by having an apple fall on his head. Really people???

 

Why do rockets always seem to curve back to a 90-degree angle after lift off? How could the earth we live on be spinning so fast that we cannot feel a thing? These things stuck in my proverbial craw, except I had nothing to compare it to since we have ALL been pounded, programmed and persuaded by the 2nd biggest lie from the moment we were born!

So in re-cap, my personal trek has brought me through:

1. My conversion from a traditional orthodox faith system tied to (my nationality no less) that abhors the thought that man can understand the bible on his own without a hierarchical religious structure where men tell you how to read its contents and which books are canon or not...

2. To a faith system that attempted to LIMIT the power of God's word by magnifying self-righteousness, while at the same time supposedly teaching man to use God's word in the process.

3. To discovering that since the church will lie to man within its walls and structure to get closer to your wallet, there are plenty of other institutions where the secular world has ITS own god it would propagate for all to follow "outside" the realm of religion...

4. And mixed in between is plenty of misinformation and gatekeeping (....in other words, I believe THIS, but not THAT if it doesn't profit me financially or personally) to go around that helps to ensure that mankind gets tossed about with every wind of doctrine.

So you see my friends, by the time I ran into the truths about our flat, unmovable earth I was less persuaded by all of the bullshit above whether or not anyone could or would stand up such a conspiracy against it, because I was convicted of the fact that we already lived in a world of lies and it is up to each and every one of us to work together to find the truth and to discover who we are. I had to find God first, through Jesus Christ before I could learn about what being and living as a man was all about. I am convinced that once mankind embraces the things of God and the riches of His grace, the rest will fall into place. I would not be where I am today without this. Paul said it better:

1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. - Romans 5:1-5

After watching the David Murphy video another time, I began to find out about other flat earth source data, e-books, physical books and videos on the subject. Please note that there is also an increasing amount misinformation in the flat earth community in an attempt to discredit actual, factual, creditable data. In addition, everyone that embraces the flat earth model does not necessary hold up to the same faith system or any faith systems at all for that matter (a.k.a David Murphy and Eric Dubay; both men renounce Jesus Christ). 
However, there were several books that I read during my journey including David Wardlaw Scott's - Terra Firma and Dr. Samuel Rowbotham's - Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe. Both of these books were written at the turn of the 20th century and through practical evidence and experimentation they clearly demonstrate our wonderful flat earth prior to the space movement in the 1950s & 1960s, well before Arthur C. Clarke and the National Association of Space Actors and their $16B (yes that's a B) budget of which we get expensive CGI. I'd love to see President Trump and Elon Musk investigate the value of THAT budget, but don't hold your breath.

It was at some point in early 2017 after realizing that the BIBLE itself supported a flat earth model that I got really pissed off because I realized I had been BRAINWASHED using the very book that I loved and studied to the point that I read past the obvious biblical references of our flat earth. In fact, the flat earth even from a Christian perspective has been absolutely shunned. While Christians tout creationism (and they should), you might think you have sprouted a second head when you talk about the flat earth biblical model. Now, maybe they are all like me, they just didn't know or still don't know but you'd be surprised at how many lose their shit over this and I am perplexed. So, I guess mankind is a rotten liar in regard to propagating evolution and we came from a ball of slime, but when it's about the physical domain we live on, they report the truth?
