Dealing with Doctrinal Error
John 9

1. The disciples were corrected.  John 9:1-5
• John 9:1 - The man was blind from his birth .
• John 9:2 - It is easy to assume someone did wrong when they are in bad circumstances.
• John 9:3 Sometimes God puts His people into bad circumstances so that He can work an obvious miracle in their life.
2. The Blind man was cared for.
• John 9:6-7 The blind man was given sight.  Even today medicine can not cure blindness from birth.
• John 9:30-33 The man courageously stood for truth and rejected religious error.
• John 9:34 The world and religion punished him.
• John 9:35-38 - Jesus found him and saved him.
• He was saved because he was courageous and willing to stand for truth in spite of worldly punishment.  People want to be blessed by God but refuse to fulfill God's requirements.
3. The parents were cowards.
• John 9:18 - The parents were called by the Jews and questioned.
• John 9:20-23 The parents proved that they were cowards.
• They received no blessing from God.  We must walk by faith.
4. The Jews were condemned.
• John 9:39-41 therefore your sin remaineth .  The word remaineth  means 'keeps on keeping on remaining'.  Since their sin did not go away, they went to Hell and ther lake of fire.
• John 9:41 If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see .  People who refuse to admit their sinful condition are condemned while those who admit the truth are given a chance to have their sin removed.  This is true for saved as well as for lost.
5. The true doctrine that we must complied with.
• John 9:3 Sometimes God puts His people into bad circumstances so that He can work an obvious miracle in their life.
• John 9:4 We must do whatever we will do for God, and for our eternal reward, while we are alive (I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day).  We can do nothing to change our eternal reward and position in God's kingdom after we die (the night cometh, when no man can work).
• John 9:4 Jesus gives us our knowledge and understanding.  There is no other true source (As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.).
• John 9:39 Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.  Every time that we acknowledge, to Jesus, our lack of understanding spiritual truth, He reveals more truth to us.  However, when we just accept what religion tells us and refuse to verify what we were taught, we become spiritually blinder.
