Jeremy have been asking the holy spirit
for his help with this and in regards
to the lame man that Jesus healed I do nt believe that sin was the issue

for him.The two situations are related of the woman caught in adultery the key words being go and sin no more only two references in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see at first his dependency on everyone else
for his needs he cant do it he is in the best position
to receive Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he follow Jesus no we are told he goes
to the temple and Jesus finds him now that he has his strength
to do things on his own what his response
to follow the
way of the pharisees that is what is worse than his condition before so he is warned by go and sin no more.We get confused because we see the word sin but the giver of is speaking
to him
to go another
way means death.Getting back

for sin and on the other the desire
to work out our
salvation on our terms they are the two areas we have
to submit
to God.My experience was the self righteousness was the harder
to deal with because it is linked in

way of thinking.brentnz
