Is your view on if the Earth has “four corners” informed by knowledge of gravity, astronomy, and geography?
Do you consider allowing your interpretation of scripture to be influenced by your knowledge of the natural world as fundamental to the salvational message of scripture such that only those with the knowledge would realize the message of salvation within scripture?
Do you think you are spiritually dead and that you think so highly of yourself that you automatically know what the Christians of many eras had no earthly idea about?
Who's *Lott*?
And where did you come up with this alleged insight into how God thinks and what He wants? You wouldn't happen to have a Scriptural reference for this?
If you wish to discuss a passage of Scripture, you ought to cite it and give the reference so people can determine if what you're referring to is really in the Bible in the first place.
Isa 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
Do you believe that Isaiah thought the earth had four corners???

Certainly not...The Apostle Paul had no problem with the salvational message in the scripture and he knew nothing of Einstein until later in his ministry...And knowing why an apple fell to the ground instead of up into the sky, I'm sure, had no bearing on whether these people understood the salvation message...

Odd question...
Isaiah learned from the writing of Job that the earth was round...But yet he used the phrase, 'the four corners of the earth'...I have no problem understanding what Isaiah was talking about...
Lots of people figure the scriptures have to line up with science...I figure science has to, and will line up with scripture...The old, old time 'thinkers' thought the earth sat on a pedestal...In spite of the fact that God told them that the earth hangs in space, supported by nothing...
Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
There wasn't a PHD in the bunch...
