Who sinned? The man or his parents?

    I can't tell you how many times I've heard things like someone must have sinned in order to be born like that or the parents must have done something really wrong for God to cause their baby to be still born. Where does this idea of prebirth sin come from? In John 9:1-3 Jesus and the Disciples discuss a topic like this. "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned… but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life." None of these people sinned and caused this? Kinda blows the whole "We sinned in Heaven" thing out of the water. If you read further in John you find Christ claimed to be "light of the world." I don't think that this revelation here is an accident as Jesus brought literal light to someone who had lived in darkness his entire life. It was for God's glory that this man was born blind. The truth reveals itself.
