John 9:1-3 The past life sins of the blind man

                  Re-embodiment

¹And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. ²And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind. ³Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. -John 9:1-3 Bible, King James Version

                                                    

Here Jesus' disciples appear to be asking Him whether or not the blind man's past life sins had led to his being born blind in this life. Jesus indicates to them that it was not his past life sins which in this case had led to his blindness. The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ gives a different version of Jesus' response to this question about the past life sins of the blind man:

CHAPTER 138.

¹The Lord with Peter, James and John were in Jerusalem; it was the Sabbath day.

²And as they walked along the way they saw a man who could not see; he had been blind from birth.

³And Peter said, Lord, if dis­ease and imperfections all are caused by sin, who was the sinner in this case? the parents or the man him­self?

⁴And Jesus said, Afflictions all are partial payments on a debt, or debts, that have been made.

⁵There is a law of recompense that never fails, and it is summar­ized in that true rule of life:

⁶Whatsoever man shall do to any other man some other man will do to him.

⁷In this we find the meaning of the Jewish law, expressed con­cisely in the words, Tooth for a tooth; life for a life.

⁸He who shall injure any one in thought, or word, or deed, is judged a debtor to the law, and some one else shall, likewise, injure him in thought, or word or deed.

⁹And he who sheds the blood of any man will come upon the time when his blood shall be shed by man.

¹⁰Affliction is a prison cell in which a man must stay until he pays his debts unless a master sets him free that he may have a better chance to pay his debts.

¹¹Affliction is a certain sign that one has debts to pay.

¹²Behold this man! Once in another life he was a cruel man, and in a cruel way destroyed the eyes of one, a fellow man.

¹³The parents of this man once turned their faces on a blind and helpless man, and drove him from their door.
