Didn't the devil tempt Jesus and show him all the kingdoms of the Earth from a high hill? (Matthew 4:8)
Was that figurative?!
@ghost-of-a-duke saidHe has one of his own making a created Christ so he says and does only those things he approves of, refusing to even answering questions that doesn’t support his beliefs. His Christ isn’t the one from scripture so his Christ only supports his views, to question him is to question his Christ.
Rajk doesn't reject God.

“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;”
(Matthew 4:8)
I suppose you’re going to next ask how Jesus Christ and the devil got to the top of “an exceeding high mountain” without rock climbing gear.
@pianoman1 saidIn the beginning.. that is the first one, knowing there was a beginning.
Agreed about the Bible not being a science textbook (thankfully!). Your second claim is questionable. What evidence do you have to support this?
@pb1022 saidEven from the highest mountain on Earth, is it possible to see all the Kingdoms of the world? (You know, with it not being flat.)

Have a think about it...
(Clearly, the human writer believed the Earth was flat. How is this an example of being scientifically ahead of its time? )
@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou’re aware of people in the Holy Bible having visions, right? You think humans can have visions but supernatural beings can’t?

Are you going to next ask how Jesus Christ multiplied loaves and fishes, turned water into wine and walked on water?
Why do you consign human limitations to supernatural beings?
@pb1022 saidOh dear.

Here, have an apple.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidIf you’re interested in how the Holy Bible was centuries ahead of the science of its time, why don’t you watch the 11-minute video I provided a link to?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidAre you going to bring up the “talking snake” now? That’s a favorite trope of atheists.
Oh dear.
Here, have an apple.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidYeah, and God the Father’s been depicted as an old man with a white beard.
Talking snake, talking donkey, that's your bag.
And the serpent from the Bible has been depicted as a snake for centuries in Christian art, philosophy, and narrative. Go have a look.
And that ain’t true either.
