Subject: Why did this man need a second touch ? |
Bible Note: Obviously the man was not born blind or he would not know what a tree or a man should look like. I don't have any problem with the idea that Jesus healed his brain (visual cortex) besides his eyes for a second healing. The idea was that he didn't "have" to, he chose to do two healings (at least): which, rather than illustrating a limitation of Jesus shows he is able to heal all manner of diseases, including your deteriorative eye disease. Thanks for the visual cortex idea, I will use it but not exclusively. |
