Why did Jesus spit? -

Why Did Jesus Spit?
Three times in the Bible, Jesus spit to heal people.
In Mark 7:32-35, a deaf man with a speech impediment was brought to Jesus. Jesus put His finger in the man’s ears and, spitting, touched his tongue, then looked up to Heaven and groaned, and said to him, "Ephatha!" (that is, "Be opened!") And immediately the man’s ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly.
In Mark 8:22-25, in Bethsaida, a blind man was brought to Jesus. Jesus took the blind man outside the village. Putting spittle on his eyes, He laid hands on him and asked, "Do you see anything?" Looking up the man replied, "I see people looking like trees and walking." Then Jesus laid hands on his eyes a second time and the man saw clearly, his sight was restored and he could see everything distinctly.
In John 9:1-7, Jesus meets up with a blind man who was blind from birth. Jesus spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on the man’s eyes, and said to him, "Go wash in the Pool of Siloam" (which means sent). So he went and washed, and came back able to see.
Did you ever wonder why, in all these three healings, why Jesus spit? Why did He not just heal these three people, as He did all the others, without spittle?
I would be interested in any ideas you might have as to this Holy mystery.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

I am reminded of poor Job. -

Thanks for your delightful stories of Jesus' spittle. What I wouldn't give the have a even a small bottle of it. And what a comparison Jesus' magic spittle is to poor Job's. Tested by Satan, sent nightmares by God, Job asks: "How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?" I guess, the rest of us are just destined to swallow.
Jesus - gentle, dependable overnight relief.

As I remember from a recent Sermon from Pastor Al on this very subject, it is believed that the spittle from a first born has healing properties.
I assume that this only applies to White Christian Males, and if you multiply this a Billion times maybe you get some idea of how powerful this Jesus spittle really is!
Genesis 2:7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Praise The Lord.

santa?
Don't even get me started! We all know that santa is really satan, trying to lure children away from the one that Christmas is really all about :
Jesus Christ.
Jesus spit is holy, and we can only pray that one day, he will have the kindness to spit on us too. Praise!
If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: But if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
A foolish woman is clamorous: She is simple, and knoweth nothing.

Spit on us, not spit us out.
Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Don't you all look at the bible literally? Looked at literally, the above quote implies that Jesus enjoyed the odd spoon of disciple soup here or there.
It seemed Jesus really had a cannibal fetish going there
Wake up and smell the 21st Century!!

I believe it was a kind of Baptism.
Today we are cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb (Rev. 7:14), but people living in those days didn't have the same opportunity, since the Lamb had not yet been slaughtered. Thus our Lord in His infinite wisdom gave His chosen ones a chance to be baptized in body fluids, other than blood.
Of course, all this doesn't mean that Our Lord didn't take pleasure in spitting those money-grubbing Joos right in their hook-nosed faces.

In Jewish Custom, it is Believed that there is power in the spittle of a FIRST born.
COL 1;18 Confirms this, And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
1:19 For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness of The Godhead to dwell in Him-Christ!
Jesus by spitting not only
declares him to be the RISEN Lord and the will be First Born first, it also
points the the future resurrection of the dead starting with His own resurrection.
It shows how His power will be used to raise man(dust) out of our eternal misery of damnation through His resurrection.

I think you should lay off the booze. That proves nothing, furthermore, it calls God a liar.
Ti:1:14: Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

Pastor Ezekiel,
I praise the Lord for the insight and the wonderful, anointed information your posts fill me with.
You are truly filled with the Holy Spirit.
The Spit of Jesus had Healing Magic. The Jewish and Roman authorities thought it was scandalous even if Jesus performed magic for divine purposes.
On your question, Jesus spat on the old mans eyes to heal the old man's blindness, It was a miracle. He could have just said "see" but he decided to rather spit!
Shout GLORY!
(I feel a poem stirring in me, but maybe it is just wind).
God loves me so much
that he killed his only son so I can live forever.
