So that's two reasons; 1. we are made from the earth 2. he was symbolically showing sin. Dirty sin. First time blind man saw as we see now and someday we will see clearly. OR maybe the before cross, and after cross.<br />Then He told him to wash. Symbolic of accepting Christ (that gets calvanism out of the way) by having faith to go 'wash'. As in clean after cross accepting Him. That's how I see it.deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812720793192367778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207686043573917484.post-52623223568129779812014-02-10T01:21:21.882-05:002014-02-10T01:21:21.882-05:00and also inverse 15 and also inverse 15 lovechild63https://www.blogger.com/profile/13950555223264640943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207686043573917484.post-64462747927844909332014-02-10T01:14:36.771-05:002014-02-10T01:14:36.771-05:00it most certainly does mention clay and spittal in...it most certainly does mention clay and spittal in John chapter 9 verse 6 take a look. you blessed my friendlovechild63https://www.blogger.com/profile/13950555223264640943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207686043573917484.post-26186708351488998932013-06-18T14:12:24.766-04:002013-06-18T14:12:24.766-04:00It doesn't say a thing about dust or clay-just...It doesn't say a thing about dust or clay-just that He spit on his eyes-and touched them-twice.

Tradition in his day was very adamant just like turning the water into wine it was a tradition to have wine at a wedding but it also had a signficant meaning to his disciples, (faith). Tradtion of the first born was the spit from them had healing power and the clay means making anew. It all fits with the above suggestion. Really Jesus didn't have to prove anything about the devil and a curse.

Jesus was stating that because of that fallen condition, the power of God is present and available to the man and, as far as God is concerned, Jesus said, "It should be revealed in him!" The word "revealed," in Greek means "to be manifested, displayed and illustrated." Jesus is saying "that's why I'm here, to establish, reveal, and manifest the power of God in the face of the curse that has plagued mankind for so long." <br /><br />He then spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva and disgust, disgusted with sin and the curse that had alienated mankind from true fellowship with God and had caused so much suffering and spiritual blindness in the world. <br /><br />God is love, the highest and purest form of love. When Jesus spat on the ground, He spat with intensity and disgust, with knowing His purpose: He had come into the world to free mankind from the bonds of sin. 1 John 3:8 "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." Jesus was saying, "Curse, you have no hold over me, for I am Love, Light and Life, and I have come to expel the works of darkness." <br /><br />Then He took the clay made from the cursed earth (Genesis 3:17) symbolizing the curse, anointed or placed it on the blind man's eyes and said to him: "Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam." The man obeyed the Word of Jesus by faith, and came back seeing - completely healed and free from the curse of blindness. <br /><br />By anointing the blind man with the clay, Jesus was in effect ing, "you may have been bound by the effects of the curse with no hope, being fully convinced of its hold, but I say that you are anointed to be free and to live in liberty, free from the curse and its effects, for this is the gift of God, eternal and abundant life!" - John 10:10<br /><br />Enjoy!<br />Rebirth of a Nation<br />www.RebirthofaNation.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207686043573917484.post-69835576537413585822009-12-09T11:49:28.939-05:002009-12-09T11:49:28.939-05:00You should never add or subtact from what is writt...You should never add or subtact from what is written in the Bible. Nowhere does it say Jesus formed new eyeballs, or that the man didn't have eyesballs. Many are born blind that have eyeballs.<br /><br />Jesus spat on the man's eyes because spitting back then was a common form of insult. Jesus was insulting the works of the devil, canceling the devil's works, thus why he formed his spit with the earth, the devil's domain, and turning it into a miracle of God, thus trumping any works of the devil and showing he had power over this earth and God would get glory out of it. <br /><br />It also shows that God can heal us any way He wants. Sometimes Jesus heals instantly, other times we have to do something, we have to do our part in manifesting the healing. This example shows how the blind man had to go find the water and clean his eyes...not so easy for a blind man to do. That is the same as telling the crippled man to rise and take up his bed, same thing. Faith is always an action word. Jesus said we are healed by our faith.<br /><br />Also, I feel that if we are willing to have God spit on us, to humble us, He has promised to exalt us. Those who exalt themselves He will humble, but those willing to be humbled, He exalts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
