1 | Can brain damage lead to damnation? | 1 John 1:9 | JohnK | 17442 | ||
I have a qustion that I have researched a lot, but I haven't found an answer that puts the mystery to rest. This question came to me while in psychology class in college: There was a story of a man who was a foreman in the railroad construction business. He was well liked. His personality was described as warm, very friendly, and he would never utter a curse word. One day there was an accident on the worksite where an iron rod was driven through his skull. He survived, but he had some brain damage. His personality went sour. Every other word out of his mouth was a curse. His personality changed so drastically that everybody hated him after the accident. He not only cursed a lot but he also became a crook. Not a day would go by that he wouldn't try to steal or pick a fight. This made me really think. What if he was a very devout christian, or even a priest, then he suffered this accident. Would he be accountable to God for his sins even if his personality change was due to physical damage to his brain? I am a bit confused on the subject and would really appreciate any light you can shed on this. And what about those that are born with severe mental retardation? Thank you very much!!! John K. |

2 | Can brain damage lead to damnation? | 1 John 1:9 | jlpangilinan | 17536 | ||
In the court of law, we know that if any person commit crime but after a several investagation found this person has a mental illness this person is going to be aquited or to be turnover to agencies that will take care the person. I'll quoted some verses here: Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. I quoted this verse, because sometimes we acquited persons that has a mental illness because we consider them like a child, a child that doesent know righteousness. In my point of view is this. If we (human) can do this kind of exemption, do you think God of all mercy will do? My answer for those kind of case it is in the hand of our God, that can justify everything. Johnny |
