The Matthew passage speaks of Jesus being tempted by Satan, as Satan shows him "the kingdoms of the world". This is clearly a supernatural event. It's another vision. |
Clearly a supernatural event? I guess you could say that about any fact a religious person says, and immediately every claim a religious person makes about any religion becomes valid. Can we say that everything in the Bible is a supernatural vision then? Perhaps Jesus didn't raise from the dead, its just a vision the Disciples had. Maybe there was no garden of Eden, it was just a vision. And so forth.
Lets try to be reasonable here. This is a claim made by the Bible, that the Devil took Jesus to a high mountain to show him the entire world. Why did the mountain have to be high? So that Jesus could see the entire world. This claim is now known to be incorrect.
Logically speaking:
The Bible says you can see the entire world from a high mountain.
You cannot see the entire world from a high mountain.
The Bible is false.
