once upon a time,



I hope that you will put up with a little of my foolishness, ​
but you are already doing that .. ​
(2 Corinthians 11:1) ​

but wait; suppose you scribble on your glasses

like this.









now what if you look at a person?
what do you see?








4.jpg



is that accurate?






well?







i see that many of us are like this at times.
how do i see that? because i'm like this. i got specks scribbled on my specs.
forgive me!
we sometimes look at others and we have some kind of 5.jpg in our eyes, and that's what we see, but the truth is that's not even on the person we're looking at, at all




:(




does anyone have some lens cleaner?

















. . . and they all lived happily ever after

soiled glasses = bias

the glass cleaner is something that can help clear off human biases

He spit on the ground, ​
made some mud with the saliva, ​

Have you ever wondered why he did this? I mean....he could have just spoken or touched the guy and YET he went through this process.....WHY?

the name of the pool He told him to go wash in means 'sent'

i have heard one teacher suppose this man's eyes themselves were shriveled up in their sockets as a birth defect, and that Christ made mud eyes just as He had formed the first man from dust. not sure about that but it is a beautiful picture

Actually, I have a box of lens wipes. It helps me to see things like they really are and not how I imagine.

Profound question. Whatever the reason there was a purpose for this, probably for the man's benefit and for those that contemplate 'why?' .

There are a few anomalies like this that have always perplexed me or stoked my curiosity.....another one is the pool that everyone sick lay by and how at a certain time "an angel" would stir the water and those who could get there first were healed.....It is written as a fact and really stokes my curiosity........numerous events like this in the bible....anomalous events that seem odd and out of place....
