Jesus said, "I have come so that the blind may see". I am legally blind in both eyes, yet I see perfectly. Its actually a complex thing, the eye doctors absolutely love me because my eyesight is so unique.

Yes, I doubt you.
Please explain how you can be called legally blind, but still be able to see..unless of course that's with the help of contacts or glasses.

The key term here is "legally". I've known several people that can see, yet are legally blind. It's not a good thing; they aren't allowed to drive by law.
I'd consider this a loophole. Regardless, it doesn't prove anything other than you can see and are legally blind. I fail to see how this proves Jesus' teachings to be true.

Yes Jesus made the lame to see that they couldn't walk. So he made the blind to walk. Of course they kept bumping into things. He did have a problem there. You are having a greater problem than you know dear wait until you trip on those stumbling blocks of fantasy. All Christians have the same problem. Christ didn't heel the blind. He just blinded people to reality.

If you are legally blind, then what kind of sense/s do you use to see things perfectly? Jesus words are meant for people who see things but don't understand. Like I may see you as a human being but I am not sure of what kind of human being unless I experienced to be with you for enough time to understnad what kind man are you. Do not dwell so much on the miracle of a cured handicap in Jesus teachings, more of his teachings are for the spirits that seemed so lost in their realtionship with God and reality within.

Wait this proves in Christ teaching to be true. I just think you have really good eye doctors. With all the problems of the world you think Christ gives 2 shits about your eyes.
And isn't it an oxymoron to be legally blind and to see perfectly. If you can see then you are not blind...DUH!

I doubt you & i doubt the validity of your fairty tale book where you get your "lord's" quotes from. (and the quote wasn't "i have come so that the legally blind may see a bit better than the eye doctor expects they should see.")
putting a quote from the bible next to a physical condition that isn't as bad as it should be does not prove that christ's teachings are true.
That's like me eating a moldy piece of ham & saying that Dr. Seuss's teachings tell us all that eating green ham is the way to heaven.

If you are legally blind yet see perfectly there is simply something wrong with the legal standards for 'blind'. It proves nothing of the bible at all.

Given the right tools I believe the human body can do great things. Such as heal itself... I think we get to caught up in doctors and prescription drugs that we become weak and our body relies on them. However, if we take care of ourselves and give our bodies the necessary care and nutrients it can in many cases heal itself. I don't believe that a god is in control of that. Our brains and bodies have the ability to do a lot of things but we don't allow it to. Saying god singled you out and allowing you to see, while there are millions of blind or partially blind people out there that still can't see. If god gave you sight then why you? Why are you so much better than every other person out there that suffers from a disability? Don't you think there are people that believe and go to church and devote their life to god that have a disease or disability? I think that's really selfish of you to think that you were singled out!

What's your point? There's a difference between "legally blind" and "blind". How does that prove that your specific religion is right?

That has nothing to do with Christ. Legally blind doesn't mean completely blind, dude. So, yes, I doubt you.
