About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"GOD HEALS" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
IN JOHN 9:3-4 WHERE JESUS HEALED THE MAN THAT WAS BORN BLIND, PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THIS PASSAGE TO SAY THAT GOD HAD PUT THIS ON THIS MAN TO GET SOME KIND OF GLORY OUT OF IT. YOU READ IT AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK. " 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," IN THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS THERE WERE NO PUNCTUATION OR CAPITAL LETTERS OR CHAPTERS. IT WAS ALL WRITTEN TOGETHER AND THE TRANSLATORS HAD TO PUT IN ALL THE PUNCTUATION AND SEPARATE THE VERSES, CHAPTERS AND SENTENCES.
WE SEE HOW THE TRANSLATORS PUNCTUATED VERSE 3 AND 4, STARTING 4 AS A NEW SENTENCE. I CAN SEE WHERE SOME PEOPLE COULD BE MISLEAD. IT LOOKS LIKE THE MAN, NOR HIS PARENTS, HAD SINNED BUT THE MAN WAS BLIND SO THAT THE WORKS OF GOD COULD BE MANIFESTED IN HIM.
LET'S NOT CHANGE A WORD OF THE BIBLE BUT LET'S DO SOME PUNCTUATING. (JOHN 9:1 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.) THAT ANSWERED THE DISCIPLES QUESTION. NOW LET'S START A NEW SENTENCE AND INCLUDE VERSE 4 WITH VERSE 3 AS ONE SENTENCE. (But that the works of God should be made manifest in him, I must work the works of him that sent me,) AND JESUS GOES AHEAD AND HEALS HIM. I JUST THOUGHT THIS WOULD STOP THE ONES THAT THINK GOD PUTS SICKNESS ON PEOPLE TO TEACH THEM SOMETHING OR TO GET SOME GLORY OUT OF IT. WOULD YOU EVER DO THAT TO ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN? WELL, OUR LOVING GOD WOULDN'T EITHER.
THIS CAME OUT OF A TEACHING FROM FRED K.C. PRICE, Ever Increasing Faith Ministries . DR. PRICE HAS A VERY GOOD TEACHING ON THIS. I CERTAINLY ENJOYED IT AND I HOPE YOU ENJOYED WHAT I HAVE TAKEN OUT OF HIS TEACHING.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
