9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Looks like God's will to me

Of course it does. But once again, you take one verse and twist it to support a bogus theology, ignoring the hundreds of verses where Jesus healed people, ignoring that Jesus said part of His mission was to heal the sick. So why on earth would God's perfect will be for some of those to be sick? Jesus said it best:

And knowing their thoughts he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: Mat 12:25

It is kooky to think that God made this man sick so Jesus could heal Him, like some cheap stage show magician, setting up a phony in the crowd.

Jesus "made people whole", implying that he spiritually healed them. God made and makes many people with disabilities, it doesn't make them spiritually unequal.

AU: It is kooky to think that God made this man sick so Jesus could heal Him, like some cheap stage show magician, setting up a phony in the crowd.

It may seem "kooky" to you, but you've been given the clear words of Scripture and you ridicule them.

Your argument isn't with us. It's with God.
