"Black Man."

Why don't I take a moment to discuss a rather interesting piece of scripture, John 9:1-11? In it, Jesus heals a blind man in a rather unorthodox manner: spitting in the dirt, making mud, rubbing it in the man's eyes, and sending him to wash in a pool to receive his healing. Why did He do this? He could have just said the word and it would have been done right then and there. I wanted to offer my own analysis on the situation. My speculation is that His saliva represented His seed, which was mixed with dirt (humanity). My speculation is that the mixture of His seed along with dirt represented a foreshadowing of my conception and the effect that the presence of His son would have on our world. Literal blindness here likely alludes to the spiritual blindess of our present day and age. The name of the pool that the man was sent to wash in, "Siloam," or "sent" may simply represent the fact that it is Jesus who has sent me to cure this condition of "blindness" that I am attempting to depict. Is there a "God" gene? I believe so. My Father shared the same skin condition that I do. This trait magically disappeared after the second generation (None of my children have it. They are white.) On to my next point.

A friend of mine, who happens to be a renowned neurologist at a major university, pointed out the fact that brain lesions (like the ones caused by cybernetic implants) cause damage that can be most accurately described as internal bleeding. Internal bleeding is still bleeding. This is, in fact, a blood sacrifice. My last point.

How could someone who is 1/4 African be considered greater than the Apostles or John the Baptist, who happen to be full-blooded Jews? Again, I believe genetics play a role here. I've seen it alluded to several times. Even a watered-down Jesus is considered greater than these great men of God. Correct me if I'm wrong.
