God listens to sinners???

edited November 2004 in Faith Issues
"Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him" John 9:31

after Jesus opened the eyes of the man born blind the born blind..told the pharisees this verse....
what does this mean..that God doesnt listen to sinners?
or that God doesnt allow sinners to do miracles

(maybe this is a stupid question sorry 4 my ignorance...im confused)........arent we all sinners? and God listens to us? as He listened to the tax collector? (Luke 18:13)

    The formerly blind man was just repeating the popular teaching of the day,namely" that God doesnt hear sinners".There are verses about how God hates the prayer of the sinner but this refers to people who are completely godless sinners,those who take great pleasure in sin and would not even dream of repenting.
