Proof of Reincarnation as the "default belief" in the time of Jesus:
verses 9 1-2 Walking down the street, Jesus saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked, “Rabbi, who sinned: this man or his parents, causing him to be born blind?”
3-5 Jesus said, “You’re asking the wrong question. You’re looking for someone to blame. There is no such cause-effect here. Look instead for what God can do. We need to be energetically at work for the One who sent me here, working while the sun shines. When night falls, the workday is over. For as long as I am in the world, there is plenty of light. I am the world’s Light.”
The writer of the Gospel of John, gives two solutions: The parents did something or he did something. If it was he that did something, when did he do it? It would have to be in a previous incarnation.... because he was blind from birth!
Jesus is someone I would love to hang-out with, get to know, understand his pain, his sorrow, his joy, how he expresses love. bjb
