Calvinist founder of the Biblical Flat Earth Society is arrested for sexual exploitation of a minor after police investigation found that he had stash of child pornography on his computer
By Julio Severo
A Calvinist apologist who founded the “Biblical
Flat Earth Society” has been charged with 56 counts of sexual exploitation of a
minor and now faces life in prison.
Philip Stallings, 40, was arrested on June
19, 2019, on 28 counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and 28
counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
His arrest follows a joint investigation
by the Durham County Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Department of Homeland Security,
and stem from downloaded pornography found on his computer allegedly of minors
involved in sexual activities.
In his own website, Stallings identifies
himself as a “Reformed Christian Apologist, Theonomist.”
His website contains praise for R.C.
Sproul, a Calvinist
theologian who was vocally against prophecy, revelations and other supernatural
gifts for today.
In his article “Are Apostles And Prophets
For Today?” Stallings totally rejects the position of apostle and prophet for today,
adding that revelations ceased when the Bible was complete 2,000 years ago.
Calvinists use the title “apologist” often to mean they defend their Calvinist
interpretation of the Bible, especially against charismatics and Pentecostals.
So it is no wonder that Stallings self-identifies as an “apologist” and defends
cessationist theologians Sproul and John MacArthur, author of “Strange Fire,”
against charismatics and Pentecostals.
Stallings also advocates the Flat Earth theory.
In his article “The Biblical Flat Earth: The Illuminati Agenda,” he said,
Many people have asked me about the motive
and goal behind covering up the flat earth. In addition, many have asked why
would the elite want us to think it's round and spinning and that we landed on
the moon?
We know satan is the “father of lies” and
seeks to deceive through counterfeit schemes and agendas (John 8:44).
The heliocentric position is certainly
connected to sun worship which goes all the way back to Nimrod and the tower of
Babel.
Then Stallings says that the same elites who
“cover up the flat Earth” advocate “sterilization, sodomite marriage, Zika
virus, geo-engineering, chemtrails, abortion (infanticide), wars in the Middle East,
GMO’s, multiculturalism, and vaccines.”
The Big Media, which is intolerant of conservative
evangelicals, could easily lump all conservative, pro-life, pro-family and
evangelical stances together with the flat Earth theory and unfairly label all
conservative evangelicals as Flat Earth fanatics, especially because the
alleged pedophile also has videos against “feminists, transvestites, sodomites
and women in the military.”
Stallings has a substantial following of 6,000
on a YouTube channel with videos about flat Earth theory.
It
seems that his refusal to let God direct him supernaturally left him open to
demonic guidance. Actually, he did not let God speak to him through the Bible
and through the Holy Spirit.
His arrest comes as part of a wider
Homeland Security investigation into child pornography on the internet. He allegedly
duplicated and possessed images of minors performing sex acts.
A judge set his bail at $500,000.
If he does posts bond, he is prohibited
from contact with children and using any computers or other devices that would
allow him to collect photos or videos.
The alleged pedophile has several previous
convictions between 1996 and 2008, including assaulting women, false
imprisonment, credit card fraud, theft, assault of an officer and impaired
driving, according to state Department of Public Safety records.
