[Faith-talk] being healed from blindness

[Ashley Bramlett]

RJ,
While blindness isn't mentioned  as evil, Jesus did heal blind people and 
other sick people.
So, I can see why people in church may think its evil.

Your statement, "the church tends to pity us" seems blanket. While many 
blind people may not feel fully included,
I don't think that's the case all around. I know many active Christians who 
are blind.
They don't feel pittied. They may do things differently and it may take 
extra effort to include them, like giving someone a ride to church or an 
event, but  they are treated respectfully.

I'm wondering why you'd  make such a statement. I had issues being included, 
but those were no different than the social issues I faced in school.

Ashley

Dear list, First, as someone wi!th a doctorate in theology, I must say I've 
not seen anywhere in scripture Christ refur to blindness as something to be 
looked upon as evil, and yet, the church tens to pity us. I've not seen this 
in my own church thank the Lord, but I know some of you have. God allowed to 
be blind, and I don't need some faulse teacher to tell me to claim my 
healing, just so they can bum money off me
