Mister, how can I strike you blind when you’re already blind?

Like a fellow said to me one time, said, “Now, if you believe the baptism of the Holy Ghost is right and you believe you’ve got it,” said, “now, you strike me blind.” That was a preacher said, “You strike me blind.” 
He said, “Paul struck a man blind one day.
140 I said, “Mister, how can I strike you blind when you’re already blind? How could I kill you when you’re already dead.”
He said, “Me, my eyes is twenty-twenty.”
I said, “Your physical part, but you’re still blind.”
“It’s impossible! The Bible don’t interpret things. We speak where the Bible speaks and silent where it’s silent.”
2KNG 6:14-19
141 I said, “All right, when Elijah was down at Dothan (see), there come up the whole Syrian army around, and the servant ran up, said, ‘Oh, my father,’ said, ‘my father,’ said, ‘theSyrians has surrounded us.’ Elijah rubbed his eyes, woke up,
and said, ‘There’s more with us than there is with them.’ He said, ‘I don’t see nobody.’ Said, ‘God open his eyes.’ Now, he was blind, and he looked around at that old prophet; and upon the mountains was full of angels, and chariots of fire, and horses of fire. And he walked out there, and the Bible said he smote them blind! Blind to what? To him. 
He walked out, said, ‘Are you looking for Elijah?’ ‘Yes, we’re looking for him.’ Said, ‘Come on, I’ll show you where he’s at.’
Elijah leading them to Elijah. Blind!” I said, “You know what I’m going to say to you? Just exactly what my Lord said to your father, get behind me!”
