jesus promoted science

That time Jesus, who could do anything with a word or a wave of his hand, gave that up to cure someone using chemicals.

According to St, John the Evangelist who was Jesus’s favored disciple, as Jesus was walking along toward Jericho, where Joshua fit the battle of, He saw a man blind from birth, and rather than deal with the old superstitious belief that the man was blind because one of his parents sinned, the whole Original Sin concept, He explained to his disciples who asked Him about this that,

“Neither this man nor his parents sinned.” 

So much for holding that belief in His name, and he went further to explain,

This happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.”

They had already seen him cure the blind, get lame people up and walking, and even bring a dead guy back to life using merely words and hand gestures, so, one has to ask what was this going to show them that they had not already seen?

He began by spitting on the ground to make some mud, and then put it on the guy’s eyes telling him to go wash it off, and when he did, he could see.

That spit-mud thing was new.

When his neighbors saw that he could see and asked what happened, the formerly blind guy told them,

 “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So, I went and washed, and then I could see.”

Why these added steps, making a chemical compound, physically applying it to the guy’s eyes, and then telling him to walk away and wash up?

Some lame people were just told to stand up.

The lepers just got a wave of the hand. He simply told dead Lazarus to come out of his tomb. One old lady just had to touch his clothes. There was even that time He cured that Roman’s servant from miles away.

Why in this one case the spit and mud then, especially when, in spite of what they had already seen, after clearly stating that this whole thing was so that “the works of God might be displayed in him”?

Could it possibly be that he wanted people to see that sometimes there was a need for chemicals to get the job done?

The Bible’s biggest group, of right-wing conservatives, the Pharisees, seemed to have a bigger concern about the blind guy’s sight being restored on the sabbath than the actual healing.

It wasn’t what was done, or even curiosity as to how spittle and dirt cured his blindness, they were concerned when it was done and who did it, not that it was done, and effectively at that.

They called in the guy’s parents who admitted to not know anything, and when the Pharisees pointed out that the person who cured him was a sinner for doing this on the Sabbath, the guy himself honestly answered,

 “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”

When they then tried the tactic that the healer might be from somewhere else especially since the formerly blind guy and the Pharisees did not know where Jesus had come from, and as if the healer’s nationality was something that made the curing a bad thing, his response was a pragmatic,

“Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will. Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

They didn’t like this, so, they yelled at him for what he just said because to them he was merely some poor Schlep who had been poor and blind, his opinions or factual accounts assumed to be dismissible, so they pushed him out the door.

The question then comes back to why this time, after claiming the whole thing was so His disciples could see something really fantastic, He used spit and mud that He never used before, and considering He cured a couple of blind people with just the wave of his hand as he left Jericho, did not use again.

Perhaps He was showing us that, yes, sometimes things happen in magical, miraculous ways, yet, sometimes more physical things were needed.

While religious conservatives pray for healing miracles instead of using what science and medicine have devised, it appears that they just want Jesus to wave his hand and make it so, while ignoring that He used a combination of chemical-based materials, the contents of which no one questioned, and may have made sure through Operation Warp Speed we had something as useful as spit and dirt.

Perhaps, what these religious conservatives need to accept is that the Covid vaccine is the modern-day spit and dirt.

Even Jesus exercised options.
