Even from an aeroplane, which flies much higher than the peak of any mountain

Really? Airplanes fly that high? Who would have thought that? Now that you have explained this, I have seen the light, and am abandoning my faith in God.
Note to Sacha:
That was irony.

Remember in Matthew's time that Australia and America had not yet been discovered by anyone other than the natives

Wow, another revelation! I always thought the ancient Egyptians lived in Alexandria, Virginia. Now that I know they lived in Alexandria, Egypt, it all makes so much more sense. Thank you for sharing this pearl of important but often overlooked geohistorical wisdom.

If Jesus had gone up onto this mountain and seen America and Australia, why did he not tell his disciples? Why would he want to keep this a secret?
|
What in Heaven's name would the Apostles have done with that information? Jesus didn't tell them about America for the same reason he didn't tell them about X-rays--they lacked the technology to do anything about it, and Jesus had more pressing issues to discuss in his limited time on Earth.

Well if you can find a mountain peak from which the whole world can be seen, I would gladly agree with you.

There are of hundreds of
mountains on the Moon from which the entire Earth can be seen. They're even higher up than airplanes. Glad to see you now agree that the Earth is flat.
