After Jesus and the first Christians healed many, the Church was not able to produce more healers, and began to concentrate on policing human sexuality – and outside healers! Big Brother is now watching you – and your genetalia! Newt Gingrich is all for Church Cops policing Democrats, but, not Republicans! Did you see how Newt was defended at the debate.
Evangelicals invented the Right to Life movement in order to counteract the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s. We saw the candidates in South Carolina demonize the Democratic party, claiming they are immoral, and respect no ones rights because they allow abortions. Obamacare is labeled Satanic Socialism, a part of a Anti-Capitalism movement. I thought Satan was all for exploiting poor people, accumulating wealth – and thus Jesus opposed this vanity. Why are Christian leaders lying to We the People? Why are they trying to CONTROL us with religious lies? I thought they hate Big Government meddling in our private affairs. Why are they trying to take over our Democracy?
Jesus said; “I have come for the sinner, not the righteous.” What did he mean?
The Sanhedrin passed a law stating that all Children of God born with a defect have been premarked by God as BORN SINNERS, and thus no Man of God need minister to them, try to heal them and prepare them for the afterlife. Jews did believe in a afterlife. He saw Rabbis preparing righteous Jews for this afterlife, and attempting to heal them – for a price! Jesus healed for free.
Jesus breaks Sabbath Laws by healing on the Sabbathby making mud He is saying God’s Work is not done. The poor, the blind, the lame are forming long lines waiting for someone to come along – and care about them! The Republican Evangelical leaders have replaced these Sinners with their Righteous Ones who queue up to get a tax cut so they can buy more goodies, thus making capitalists more money. FINE! But, you don’t get Jesus – or his church! GET OUT – you parasite who cling to the pubic hairs of humanity and bleed the poor dry!
Those Christians who cast votes for tax cuts, are cut out of God’s Kingdom! Have a nice day!
Oh! Did I tell you Judgement Day has arrived? Don’t bother rushing for the lifeboats you self-righteous ones, for God is looking at your signatures affixed to the Greedy Ballots that disqualifies Sinners!

1 Now as Jesus was passing by, he saw121 a man who had been blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who committed the sin that caused him to be born blind, this man or his parents?” 3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but he was born blind so that the acts of God may be revealed through what happens to him. 4 We must perform the deeds of the one who sent me as long as it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 Having said this, he spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva. He smeared the mud on the blind man’s eyes 7 and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So the blind man went away and washed, and came back122 seeing.
There is a considerable amount of speculation over the significance of the “spit” and “dust” which resulted in the “mud” or “clay” placed over the eyes of the blind man. I will spare you these speculations, simply because they are just that.127 I would suggest, however, that some things can be learned from this unique healing method, employed here by our Lord.
VERSE 15: “So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
The Pharisees were interested in the method Jesus used.
VERSE 16-17: “Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a division among them. 17So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
VERSE 18-21: “The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight 19and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” 20His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. 21But how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.”
VERSES 13-14: “They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. 14Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.”
Chapter 14
Jesus again heals on the Sabbath—He teaches humility and gives the parable of the great supper—Those who follow him must forsake all else.
1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the asabbath day?
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
7 ¶And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the achief rooms; saying unto them,
8 When thou art abidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the alowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up bhigher: then shalt thou have cworship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
11 For whosoever aexalteth himself shall be babased; and he that chumbleth himself shall be exalted.
12 ¶Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the apoor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 And thou shalt be ablessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be brecompensed at the cresurrection of the just.
15 ¶And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall aeat bbread in the kingdom of God.
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18 And they all with one consent began to make aexcuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the ahalt, and the blind.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 And the alord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and bhedges, and ccompel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 For I say unto you, That anone of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25 ¶And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
26 If any man come to me, and ahate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, byea, and his own clife also, he cannot be my ddisciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his across, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.b
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and acounteth the bcost, whether he have sufficient to cfinish it?
29 Lest ahaply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.a
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and aconsulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an aambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that aforsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my bdisciple.
34 ¶aSalt is good: but if the bsalt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
