ArchivedAnswering Aineo.In Christianity, God offers salvation not by the person who first comimitted the sin, but by the same being. Meaning, since a human has caused sin, a human shall pay for it (Refer to Romans 5). The fact that Adam was not crucified and a blameless Jesus was, just shows God's grace towards the world. It also shows God's holiness, meaning He will not allow a sinner to offer redemption. Also, God's ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). You are trying to put some kind of a human twist in a salvation method, but God thinks otherwise. Nice question. Maybe Christ did condemn the implication of the question by giving the answer: "Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents" then concluded with an answer specifically pertaining to the blind man: "but that the works of God should be made manifest in him." If you are then saying what is the reason for others that are suffering, then Jesus gets rid of the option (as a general idea) His desciples suggested when asking the question: There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish...." (Luke 13:1-3). A second example is given in the passages after. Not all the time is the suffering of a specific person a result of the sin sowed from that specific person. Hence, if another blind man was born blind, his personal sin (even if you some how imply it to be before his birth), does not necessarily result in him becoming blind. Rather, the punishment was initialized in Eden on sin in general. (I am not God, so I cannot give you the reason why God did it this way, however I can speculate on a number of reasons why God would do it this way just like any other Christian can). I agree that degration can be a party pointing out its popularity over another. However, this is valid only in trivial matters. The state of the eternal soul is not trivial. Therefore, to attain something as important as this will render its oppurtunity even when it comes to popularity contests. |
