Knowing the righteousness of Christ, I can't fathom how He could heal someone's servant so he could continue to have sex with him, a kind of sex which is clearly condemned by Paul in the book of Romans. This would be like the devil having "mercy" on one of the apostles instead of persecuting them everywhere they went. When the devil begins to have mercy on any Christian, then I'll believe that Jesus would do the same for one of the devil's followers to continue to do what is so vile in His eyes that He cannot gaze upon it with pleasure. And let us recall what Jesus said to the man who lay next to the pool of Bethesda for 38 years in some sort of paralytic condition. After Jesus healed him, He said to him, "go and sin no more lest a worse thing come upon you." Also, to the woman caught in the very act of adultery, Jesus said, "neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more." I'm sure their lives were quite different after their supernatural encounters with Jesus. But Jesus made it clear that He did not condone their sin by healing them or forgiving them. To try to make the case that Jesus condones any sexual sin, whether fornication, adultery, incest, rape, homosexuality, or even lustful thoughts is to blaspheme His holy name/character. It is to pervert His image to that of "fallen" man.
