I never said they did.
I have already explained this to you like 50 times you still don't get it so I will explain it one more time and no more. If you don't get it then you never will.
As Christians we are called to be Christ like. In fact that is the definition of a Christian. One who is like Christ.
As Christ was sinless we are called to be the same. Of course this is not possible. That is where the blood of Christ comes into effect. It wipes away the sin of the world.
It makes you righteous in the site of God.
You also have to under the culture contexts as well. in most cases He was healing the lame or someone else. that society considered that they or their parents had sinned
in order for them to have that affliction.
Does that mean that no effort is required on our part? The grace is freely offered to us to make us perfect. Only the perfect can enter Heaven. We must cooperate with that grace or else we can never be perfected. God does not force it upon us.
