Correlation between sin and sickness

[tonychanyt]

In the beginning, in the Garden of Eden, there was no sin and no sickness. After the fall, sickness and death happened. Micah 6 affirmed this positive correlation:

13 So also I will make you [Israelites] sick, striking you down, Desolating you because of your sins.

Sicknesses appeared after sins had appeared.

Jesus spoke to some scribes in Mark 2:

8b “Why do you question these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’?

Jesus healed the paralytic by forgiving his sins.

On the other hand, Jesus stated a non-correlation in John 9:

1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.

Let proposition S1 = if a person sins, he will get sick.

S1 is false, i.e., S1 is not universally true for everyone without exceptions.

Broadly speaking, there is a positive correlation between sin and sickness. In specific cases, however, the correlation could be 0.

A more Godly Way is as written: I bless those I choose to bless, I curse those I choose to curse. God does whatever He chose or chooses to do.
