Can someone possess tremendous biblical knowledge and still remain spiritually blind?

In John 9, Jesus encounters a man who had been blind from birth. While the man gradually comes to recognize Jesus as the Son of God, the Pharisees become increasingly hardened despite the overwhelming evidence standing before them.

In Episode #85 of the Jesus Said That series, Pastor Kenny Burge Jr. and Dr. Ken Burge Sr. examine the entire chapter of John 9. They discuss suffering, spiritual blindness, religious tradition, the courage to stand for Christ, and the importance of allowing Scripture—not pride, popularity, or inherited beliefs—to shape our understanding of Jesus.
