Bible Question: I have heard the term slain in the spirit. I have looked for a referance in the scriptures but haven't found it. Can you tell where it may be found and what does it mean? |
Bible Answer: brotherbradley: The term "slain in the spirit" (or is it Spirit?) is foreign to Scripture. What does it mean? Perhaps someone else on the Forum is better equipped than I to define this term as it is used by its practitioners. I conceive of it to be a rather bizarre religious experience in which the subject allegedly is knocked off his feet by the administrator of the "slaying" and becomes comatose. I've seen a few episodes of the Benny Hinn show and that's how it appears to me. Believe me, I'm no fan of Benny Hinn and no expert on the carnival-style antics he performs. I consider him and others of his stripe charlatans. --Hank |
