Laying on of hands: Was done FAR before Jesus time....

    Deuteronomy 34:9 - ANd Joshua the son fo Nun was full of the "spirit of wisdom" for Moses had laid his hand upon him.

    This adds to some thoughts which had come to be lately from my studies..... Jesus was sending the "spirit of truth". Also some had prayed that no unclean spirit, wicked spirit, or satan would enter them.

    It's interesting the differences, and when reading about Jesus expelling demons, etc, I sometimes wonder if taken into today (those who believe all), someone spiritual blind/sick etc, that possession isn't what we would have thought it to be, but very subtle.

    Just a thought at the moment.

    The primary purpose of the laying on of hands in the Old Testament was to get rid of Sin:

    Leviticus 16:

    21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:

    Numbers 8:

    12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
