An essential view.
IN TOUCH WITH TOUCH
In the natural creation, chemistry is divided into 2 compartments: Organic and
Inorganic. In the supernatural creation: the living and the dead. All of the organic
compounds on earth have the element “carbon” in them. From germs to giants, in the
natural, all animals have carbon in them. All of the carbon on earth now, has come from
another living plant or animal; the supernatural First Cause of creation- if you can
receive it.
Let us begin with a definition that we may use to make a devision in the animal
kingdom, between all of the other animals and mankind.
1 Humans are the only animals that can conceive of and pull off a pun.
2 Humans are the only animals that can laugh at a pun.
3 Humans are the only animals that wither and die without therapeutic touch.
This change is most evident in the human brain, being the lifestyle of Romans 1: 18-32.
Compassionate Touch
In James 5:14, the elders are authorized to lay hands on the sick when they prey
for them. The anointing with oil could be a therapeutic message or it could be an act of
obedience that brings healing by a drop touched onto the forehead. The Samaritan who
found a wounded, naked man beside the road and ministered to him is one of the best
known stories in the Bible. The healing began there beside the road with the oil and the
wine. A compassionate touch by a good news minister has to be a healing art that rivals
any M.D. in a modern practice.
More than one time a therapeutic kiss is mentioned in scripture. The story of the
prodigal son returning home to received a hug and a kiss from his father is the catalyst
for this paper.
To be continued.
