Often? Maybe. But it seems random, to me. And when a random affliction hits someone with a "sin", bingo: must be God's judgment. Any idea how many porn addicts live long lives, with normal eyesight? Any idea how many people lost their sight who have never used porn?

Gotta love that story. Here's a large crowd of sick people. Waiting for the mad dash into the water when the angel stirs it up. First one in wins! The rest of you, better luck next time. (An angel with a sick sense of humor?) In walks Jesus. Singles out one from the crowd. Heals him. Only him. Tells him "No more sinning, or else!"

Anyway, so are you implying that this story has a message for us today? Is it that if we sin, God may zap us? And if we stop sinning, He won't let anything worse happen to us? I hope the lady in live4him's post took this to heart, so nothing worse than blindness will ever happen to her.

So, if my cynical, but perfectly literal, interpretation isn't what you had in mind, what are we to learn from that scripture and from the woman's testimony? Seriously!
