TAPPING

  LUKE 8:45-46 (NLT) – “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everyone denied it, and Peter said, “Master this whole crowd is pressing up against you”. But Jesus told him, “No someone deliberately touched Me, for I felt healing power go out of Me. Tapping is an English word and has its meaning and context in which this word is used. But my use of this word “TAPPING” is not in the sense and context of its conventional use and as such means entirely something different from the conventional meaning. The sense and context in which I use this word here is in the “Street English Language” which is called Pigin English in Nigeria the country of my birth and residence.

The Tower of Babel

Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” 5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building th...
