Havoc: “The word vision has specific meaning. The scripture doesn't say, ’tell no man what you saw.’”

Oh, yes it does:

“As they were coming down from the mountain, He [the Lord] charged them not to relate what they had seen to anyone…” - St. Mark 9:9 RSV

There it is, straight from Scripture.

You're wrong. Admit it or be ignored.

[Havoc]

Matthew 17:9 - Christ said it was a vision. End of discussion.

Mark 9:9 doesn't refute Matthew, it merely generalizes it. Matthew gives more detail on this point. As I said. This is what it says - end of it. VISION.
