Teachings of Christ

1 John - I simply love the entire gospel of John, it's so full of light and love...

Actually I believe he was talking about the first epistle of John.

1 John, not John 1.

I see.

Dave, what do you say about Christ saying that the blind have no sin? How do you see John 9:41? I see it the way it is, Jesus talked about the people who are spiritually blind, they don't truly know the right from the wrong so how could they have sins? I agree we are all born under the curse of sin but that does not mean that every single human being has sins, a child has no sins.

Dave, what do you say about Christ saying that the blind have no sin?

I have always taken that passage as pertaining SPECIFICALLY to the particular people involved in that exchange.

The take-away for us would be that if we are so cocked-sure about something and being judgemental of someone in it, there is a good chance we are wrong.

Me too.Then I had this thought, even the blind man was a sinner, so why whould Jesus say exactly those words?

Yes, you are right, thank you for your anwer
