Subject: What is "slain in the spirit"? |
Bible Note: The scripture you point to here states, "I am He" which we all know it is Jesus speaking in this verse. They drew back and fell to the ground. They were not slain in the spirit, they were in fear because the very Lord stood before them. Notice that He only spoke. There were no laying on of hands. Are you saying they were slain in the spirit in this verse? If so, what do you make of verse 7 where it says, "Therefore He again asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus the Nazarene." If they were slain in the spirit as you say, how then could they immediately respond to His question? You yourself said if anyone is up within 5 minutes they are faking it. What do you make of their ability to speak during their slained state? Also, exactly how do you get "slain in the spirit" out of the verse in the first place? Please explain. In none of the verse I pointed out in an earlier post do I see anything at all that would back up the "slain in the spirit" argument. I see nothing more then a natural and uncontrollable fear of being in the very presence of God. If you believe this is taught in the scriptures please take the time to explain where and give your interpretation of the verses. |
