AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 3:15 and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings (Hebrew Scriptures) which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus [surrendering your entire self to Him and having absolute confidence in His wisdom, power and goodness]. |
Bible Question: How can someone learn the scriptures unto salvation if he is mentally or psychologically incapacitated? Will he go to hell? |
Bible Answer: I notice that two very competent users have responded to your question already. In that light, I will not repeat what they said, but I think a couple of questions are in order. Your question makes two assumptions: 1) You seem to assume that salvation is determined by a cognitive accent to a Biblical belief. In other words, if I understand and say "Yes, I believe that…" then you are covered for your sins and "saved." Is this what the Scriptures teach concerning salvation? Also, the text quoted hear is to Timothy and refers to the Old Testament, not the New (although it also applies to the New Testament now, but when Timothy read it, there was no “New Testament.”) 2) Your question seems to assume that salvation is merely being rescued from hell in the life after. Is that your view of salvation and what Jesus gave His life for, or is it much more than that? MJH |
