If Jesus could heal ONE blind man, why not heal blindNESS?!

[Lovely Atheist]

Well, just a question I was wondering. If you answer this question to such extent where I believe you are most certainly NOT talking from your rear end, I may consider being Christian (trademark).

If a Sinner is struck down with blindness then why should The Lord even bother to heal them?
They brough it on themselves to choose a blind lifestyle.

Zepheniah 1

17-18And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

I agree witih Sister Talitha. Blind people have chosen to be blind by denying God and rejecting His Forgiveness. I would also like to add that the world would be a very dangerous place if God did not smite sinners with blindness when they deserve it, or when their parents deserve it.

In addition to what's been said, God sometimes chooses to do things His way rather than yours in order to glorify Himself:

John 9:1-3: And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from [his] birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Just wanted to say Jesus did not remove the disease, He cured people who had the disease.

Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Heal all blindness everywhere for all time? For that matter why not heal all disease and infirmity and suffering forever?

Duh! It's not time, yet.

Remember that suffering of all kinds, including disease and infirmity, came into the world as a result of sin. Sin came into the world as a result of human choice, when Eve chose to believe Satan instead of her God-appointed husband.

Adam had it straight from God not to eat the forbidden fruit. And following God's Will -- which even then included the woman acknowleging her husband's headship-- he instructed Eve to leave the tree alone.

We all know what happened. The whole world continues to pay the price for that one act of disobedience-- against man and God. Blindness will be done away with at the time of the Lord's choosing. If I were you, I would be concerning myself with my spiritual blindness and open my eyes to the King James Bible.

Exhortingly Yours,

If He did that, then extend that act to Him healing everything, then take it to its logical conclusion, which there is no disease, or death, or misery. You then have the definition of "Heaven." We are not to go to Heaven until we have been forged on the Holy Anvil here on earth. We are born in sin, due to Adam and Eve's transgression, and were cast out of Eden. To get back in, we must become born again, shed our sinful earthly outer skin, and get back in God's good graces. Jesus healing everything all willy-nilly would short-circuit His design.

Recall a lesson from Matthew 5:45 - That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Translated this means, whatever your infirmity is, "those are indeed tough noogies." Sometimes stuff happens. Deal with it. Get over yourself. It's blindness, praise God! Part of His plan, of which we see only a smidge.

I submit to you that you cannot be a True Christian® until you can thank God for seemingly bad things that happen to you, for it is all to His purpose and glory. That's why it is called FAITH. Any idiot can be thankful for only the pleasant things in life.

If Jesus healed only one man...or two,or a lot...but not everyone,that was because they never desired it...have you thought about sin? maybe they were siners and they never wanted forgiveness,only the cure

Once again you atheists are demanding that we know the mind of God, well guess what, we don't. We only have the Book He left us with the instructions for life.

Of course Jesus can cure blindness He can also restore missing limbs. It has been documented in the Bible. But that is not the point. Why do you think some people are blind or missing a limb? That is right, God took it as punishment for egregious sins. So why would he restore them? Should we arrest murders, convict them to life in prison but let them out after only a few years?
