Reminder on How to investigate
As you read through the different accounts of "laying on" and "hands", see if you can find how many different purposes God has for this principle.
Like a reporter who is investigating a story, we can ask similar questions while we are reading through the Bible learning about this subject matter concerning laying on of hands.
We will provide a sample of this using the first time this word laying on is used in the Stegenga Concordance so you can have an understanding how this is done.
Acts 28:10 (7-10)
- Who is this context about?
- Who is it speaking about in verse 10?
- What was Paul doing?
- What is the reason for them putting on board these things?
You can download a copy of this section of laying on of hands to your computer, then if you would like, tell me what you came up with. You can email your sheet to me with your conclusions: [email protected].
There is much more going on in the Greek than we care to bring out at this time, but as we go along, you'll see how exact this is and all the facts that you can get out are amazing!
There will be more pages coming, but we'll do them one at a time for now.
