Told in one lecture and argued across four of its passages. Three books name three different limbs for the same thing: Judges 6 has the finger of the Lord, Daniel has the hand that appears and writes, Isaiah has the arm of God. Neville makes them one - the finger, the hand, and the arm, they are symbols of the activity of God - and supplies a discriminator rather than an assertion, which is what makes this an argument. Matthew 12 has: if I by the Spirit of the Lord cast out demons; Luke 11 has the same saying as: if I by the finger of the Lord cast out demons. So the Spirit of the Lord in one book is called the finger of the Lord in the other, by the evangelists themselves, in one sentence. From that he draws the general claim about how scripture was made: they didn't make it up, the evangelists did not sit down and try to figure out some workable philosophy of life, they simply had the vision and put it down - and the different limbs are different men reporting the same sight. The application is his own army discharge (M818), where the hand came out to the elbow holding a pen; when the hand appears, it's God in action, and who can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? PROVENANCE. Coined out of sequence at the request of the attach lane, and this one is told in a SINGLE lecture - the lane probed every form of finger of the Lord, finger of God, the hand, cast out demons and arm of the Lord with co-occurrence filters and found no second telling; every other arm of the Lord hit is Isaiah 53:1 and belongs to M858. It is coined rather than held because it is argued across four passages with a stated discriminator and has verse rows to carry, not because it recurs. Occurrences carry confidence 0.95.
