1 | Why did this man need a second touch ? | Mark 8:25 | Mark7 | 158141 | ||
"He asked him, 'Do you see anything?' And he looked up and said 'I see men, for I see them like trees, walking around.' " Refractive error is the common sense reading of this description. Scholarly writings are no substitute for common sense reading of the scripture with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as evidenced by speaking in tongues. | ||||||
2 | Why did this man need a second touch ? | Mark 8:25 | Hank | 158151 | ||
Mark7: "...the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as evidenced by speaking in tongues." I can't seem to find Scripture to fit this idea exactly. ..... Do you intend this to mean that regenerate believers who don't 'speak in tongues' -- by which I assume you mean ecstatic utterances -- are not indwelt by the Holy Spirit? Whatever your answer, please cite Scripture so we can follow along. ...... Noting your pejorative on 'scholarly writings,' I take it that you have read a large number of these classics of Christian thought and found them wanting? --Hank | ||||||
3 | Why did this man need a second touch ? | Mark 8:25 | Mark7 | 158257 | ||
Yes, there is a difference between the activity of the Holy Spirit in the life of every believer and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the believer as a result of receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit. See especially the book of Acts and the Pauline epistles. I don't know about "ecastatic utterances". I don't think this term is in the Bible and it sounds pergoritve to me. By "tongues" I meant another language, as in "the tongues of men and angels." |
