That's fine; but not here, eh?
Oh so you and Greggles can carry on about how "nobody can answer"?
I thought you said to use the bible in the OP and not just the verse you posted.
Um. Who's playing games again?
Stop trolling.
For those of you who believe the Bible teaches geocentrism in Psalm 19, I challenge you to explain this:
Matthew 20:17 ¶ And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
Matthew 20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
Did Jerusalem hover over the earth or something?

Whatever.Lately every time I try to respond to one of AVET's posts seriously, he has accussed me of "playing games." He should be the last person here to accuse anyone else of "playing games."

Could be something like a dream or vision, and the height of the mountain was more symbolic than a vantage point."Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;"
Did Jesus and the devil see all the kingdoms of the world from a high mountain?
That's different.Did Jesus and the devil see all the kingdoms of the world from a high mountain?
Exactly.Could be something like a dream or vision, and the height of the mountain was more symbolic than a vantage point.
Cute.PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE AV!
Yes, he can.
A literal interpretation does not mean you can't allow for figures of speech.

And I won't play the give-a-man-a-fish game.But it would necessarily mean that we'd need you to tell us what's literal and what's a figure of speech...
And I won't play the give-a-man-a-fish game.
You know the Boolean standards.
Use them.
Then don't use them.Reality trumps your made up "standards."
