Bible Question (short): Stretching oneself on a person heals? |
Question (full): I Kings 17:21 reads, "And he stretched himself upon the child three times..." 2 Kings 4:34 reads, "And he went up and lay upon the child and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands, and he stretched himself upon the child..." My question is this: Was this a God-mandated practice that Elijah and Elisha performed, that of "stretching" oneself upon a sick person to heal them? Is this practice in use today by the Christian church? |
