Bible Question: How can someone learn the scriptures unto salvation if he is mentally or psychologically incapacitated? Will he go to hell? |
Bible Answer: "How can someone learn the scriptures unto salvation if he is mentally or psychologically incapacitated?" He probably will not learn the scriptures. "Will he go to hell?" Not if God saves him by grace. How many many illiterate Christians over the centuries do you think were saved with ever being able to read a single word of scripture? Perhaps for them the Gospel and "faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God" being preached. Can a child have faith by hearing the Gospel? I think yes. In the end we all have to rely on God's mercy and grace for we are all spiritually if not "mentally and psychologically incapcitated" when it comes to our own salvation. It is not about our capacity, but rather about God's capacity. Even if we are "incapcitated," God is not. Think of the possessed in the Gospel whom Jesus delivered from bondage. You don't get much more mentally and psychologically incapacitated than that. God is capable, He has the capcity. Emmaus |
