ARE AILMENTS THE RESULT OF SIN

We accept Christ and our sins are forgive and yet we go on sinning; we now feel bad about it but we still do it. The question arrises, THOUGH YOU ACCEPTED CHRIST DO YOU STILL PAY SOME PRICE FOR CONTINUING TO SIN, perhaps an ailment or misfortune. While Christ cured a man at the Pool of Bethesda and later said to him (John 5:14): "...Sin no more lest, a worse thing come upon you," he also cured a man blind from birth but when asked who's sin caused his blindness, he said (John 9:3): "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him." Most of our group felt that our continuing to sin did not cause afflictions but some of the group had trouble accepting that there were no penalties for continuing to sin.
