Damn...
>>18346679so even the prophet has no answer, just it is what it is bro
>>18346679Is this a subtle way of saying that God made him be born blind so he could show off how awesome he is when curing him, similar to how God hardened Pharaoh's heart so he could show off how awesome he is when terrorizing the Egyptians? There should be a word for when someone creates problems for others so they can look good when fixing them, and it shouldn't be a compliment.

>>18346722>create problems he claims to be saving you fromabsolutely jewish
>>18346679Kek>you were born blind>your life will be absolute misery from cradle to the grave>get "blessed" by God to live till 87>can't kill yourself or you will get tortured for eternity
>>18346697I wonder what it says about all the born blind people who aren't healed by Jesus. Is it due to their or their parents' sins?
Bump, I want to know the arguments of the other side
>>18346679wait I thought Jesus and Mary were the only ones without sin, now we're getting 3 more?
>>18346697I've heard the punctuation in the English is poor (even harder when you crop out the next verse like OP did) and it could be read as something like "this guy and his family haven't sinned, BUT I need to heal him ASAP while I'm still on earth because God's work is to heal the wounded."This interpretation would fit with the theology of famous verse Acts 10:38.John 9:1-8King James Version9 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?Acts 10:38King James Version38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
