I'm not bothered in the least by any of this.
It is in the West where the realization of the orderliness of the world from a rational Creator which furnished the atmosphere for the sciences to flourish in the first place.
In the enlightenment the unlocking of the Bible from its Catholic prison to the common people and the unlocking of scientific study went along concurrently.
Revelation is a book of signs (Rev. 1:1)
The angels at the four corners of the earth (Rev. 7:1) was a sign the meaning of which is clear to all but those who are diligently hunting for a way to miss the point.
The devil showing Jesus all the kingdoms of the earth in a moment of time (Luke 4:5;Matt. 4:8) from some high mountain is a minor problem. Talking about missing the point. As if in the history of the deep occult the Devil has not done such things to other men.
Talking about straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel.
You're an expert at missing the point.
@sonship saidAs I suspected. Head in the sand.

@sonship saidNot your strongest retort.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke
Yes, your head is stuck in the quicksand. Well said.
If the devil showing Jesus all the kingdoms of the Earth (Luke 4:5;Matt. 4:8) from a high mountain is a minor problem, go ahead and explain it.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidClearly, the problem is greater than you are letting on...

Serious questioners I may take the time with.
Mere juicy gossip hunters sometimes don't always get my more careful labors.
@sonship saidIs that code for you being stumped by Luke 4:5;Matt. 4:8 which suggest the belief at the time in a flat Earth?

I have never in my life considered those two passages as having anything significant to contribute one way or another to that constraversy of "flat earth vs round earth". I have never read those passages and while reading thought ANYTHING about that.
I see a faithful man who turned down Satan's offer to have everything but forfeit God.
And folks preoccupied with the shape of the earth while reading those passages, I kind of feel sorry for them.
@sonship saidBut YOU were using the Bible as something ahead of its time for scientific understanding. In such a conversation, passages that necessitate a flat Earth are worthy of scrutiny and highlight how groundless your claims were. If the Bible didn't even know the shape of the Earth, how could it be said to have any scientific value?

Another example of you ignoring scripture that doesn't back up your grandiose claims.
@sonship saidWhich of course always happens when you find yourself posting with spite and showing your true colours.
To Whom is Concerned,
I'll be traveling for about a week and may not be writing on the Forum for a few days.
Don't cry too hard now guys.
@sonship saidI have something better than Witness Lee.
Back from vacation.
Right about this time is when Ghost begins to strut around in sickly self appreciation like he really has something better for people than Christ.
So does my cat.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke
The rumors I have been hearing is that you were in fact a fraud as a Mental Health specialist. Some have informed me that you touted being experienced in this area but were some kind of pretentious charlatan instead.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke
Maybe Witness Lee gets your ire up because you were a fraud as a professional mental health professional.
Perhaps you just bitterly envy a successful man in his life's quest to produce hundreds of helpful spiritual writings which have produced, strenthened, and edified Christians on every continent (save maybe Anarctica).
The frequency with which you like to condemn this man Witness Lee suggests to me envy may be your motive. As rumors have had it were you really a fraudulent mental health worker?
