These things happen!
Maybe you can explain why the Catholic church believed the earth was flat, when it's described as a sphere in the Bible and they were supposed to be the experts on the Bible.
Consider Isaiah 40:22 which mentions the “circle of the earth.” This description is certainly fitting—particularly when the earth is viewed from space; the earth always appears as a circle, since it is round.
Curiously, many astronomy textbooks credit Pythagoras (c. 570–500 B.C.) with being the first person to assert that the earth is round. However, Isaiah is generally acknowledged to have been written in the 700s B.C.
The secular astronomers before the time of Pythagoras must have thought the Bible was wrong about its teaching of a round earth, yet the Bible was exactly right.
It's not my fault people don't want to believe what God puts forth in the Bible. Blame someone else for that - such as they people who REJECT what is in the Bible.
You: My point was, do you think they were not true Christians either?
It's not up to me to determine their eternity nor is it yours. If people want to believe the earth is still flat - I leave that up to God as to what He ultimately does about it. I would simply disagree with them.
“I’m questioning your accusation of “bordering on blasphemy.”
Question it all you want. Look up the word in a dictionary if you don't understand it and then apply it in context. Maybe then you'll understand. Also, I don't have “itching ears” so take your version somewhere else ... .
Wow, are you defensive.
Disagreements on eschatology have always been around by strong Bible-believing, Bible-reading Christians. Sorry, but making an analogy of what we learn from science and what wisdom we receive from God as far as our understanding of Scripture is, to say the least, not a good analogy.
