Man Born Blind (Part 1)

The Life and Teachings of Christ
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg

In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the story of the man born blind in John chapter 8. He addresses some troublesome points in the text, such as the age of Jesus during the conversation and the assertion that the disciples believed in reincarnation. He also delves into the significance of the statement "I am" and how it relates to God's divine name. Gregg emphasizes that Christians today should not try to explain why some people are born with handicaps, but instead focus on having enough faith to overcome them.
