Treasure in Earthen Vessels

The purpose of this module is for the student to understand the spiritual use of laying on hands. It is also intended for the student to understand that there are risks of spiritual contamination due to improper laying on of hands.

The practice of the imposition of hands is before the Law of Moses, the accounts of the book of Genesis show that the inhabitants of the first towns knew it, and it had among them several uses, the main one, that of blessing a person. It is included within the apostolic doctrine by virtue of its transcendence of the Law, and by the use and recommendation of Jesus himself, who included among its benefits, that of healing, when he said: they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall be healed.
