Nice try BrotherMichael, the author of Matthew knew what the word 'world' meant.

David, study geometry. A circle is not a sphere. Nor does it have four corners like the bible suggests.

Yes, it happend. Bible says so, I believe it.
Why is it hard for you to understand it thou?
It was when Jesus was being tempted by satan.
I believe he was really trying to tell if Jesus was really the
Son of God or not.
God Bless.

So, you're using this passage to argue that the Bible states that the earth is flat? Seems like a weak argument to me. Matthew 4:8 does not state that the earth is flat. I can view the "kingdoms of the world" without actually visiting them by seeing them on TV. And, by the way, I would suggest you read Isaiah 40:22.

How is this possible: The weather man on the evening news said sunset was at such and such a time. He said sunrise would be at such and such a time. Is this guy educated? Did he get a degree from somewhere? Doesn't he know that the sun neither sets nor rises but that the Earth spins on its axis and creates the impression of sunrise and sunset? Oh...figures of speech? So he doesn't really mean that the sun raises and falls, its just a figure of speech? Hmmm....

All the kingdoms of the world - It is not probable that anything more is intended here than the kingdoms of Palestine, or of the land of Canaan, and those in the immediate vicinity. Judea was divided into three parts, and those parts were called kingdoms; and the sons of Herod, who presided over them, were called kings. The term “world” is often used in this limited sense to denote a part or a large part of the world, particularly the land of Canaan. See Rom_4:13, where it means the land of Judah;

The physical nature of angels, kind of like a circular television screen.
Re: How is a circle not a sphere in all cases as you seem to imply? Look at the moon, it is a circle that is a sphere.

When the sail of a boat disappears over the horizon, it's obviously the work of the Devil

When satan temps anyone with the aid of the Holy Spirit you can flee from the temptation.

I see, the Devil, Jesus even God himself have no more power than you.
Since you can't do it, then it's impossible?
EXAMPLE: You've never seen Napoleon, therefore he doesn't exist, right?
In the next life, you're gonna need a lot of sunscreen.
