Bible Question: Hi everyone im new hear. can a person still talk to God if he or she cant talk? because in romans 10:9 it say if thy confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart God hath raised him from the dead thy shalt be saved. So will people be saved that cant talk? thanks for hearing me everyone. |
Bible Answer: LOl! This question really made me laugh at first, but when I looked at it a little longer, I saw how serious it really is. The Holy Spirit immediately put this text into my mind, (Romans 10:15), it says "How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!" Now if I were to interpret verse 15 in the same way you interpret verse 9, I guess I could say, only those who have "FEET" are chosen by God to preach the gospel. I have one question for you (walkforchrist). If you had a child who was born dumb ie, (lacking the power of speech), what would you say to me if I was to say to you, "You will never really know if this child really loves you." I'm sure your response would be, "Well, why do you say that?" And I respond by saying, "Well, how could you or anybody know for sure, unless the child opens it's mouth and says to you, "I love you"? How would you feel? Especially if you really love that child and have an intimate relationship with him/her? When the child is hungry, he/she cries. When the child has a dirty diaper, it cries. When he/she is happy, it smiles from ear to ear. Parents, especially mothers, have a God-given instinct that lets them know how to nurture and care for their kids without them being able to talk. That smile alone lets them know, "Hey! my child is happy". Even though that parent knows that there is a possibility that their child would never be able to speak, their child would still be able to kiss them, hug them, cook for them, help out with the chores, basically, anything besides answering the phone. Without that child being able to say anything, his/her works or actions will show exactly who they really are. The same thing with a Christian, our works show who we really are on the inside. God knows each and everyone of His children in a personal and special way, even though we might be deaf, dumb, blind, lame, retarded, rich, poor, black or white! We could preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to our friends and family members without being able to utter one word! Thats the power of God! Jesus said "By this will all men know that ye are my disciples, if you have love one toward the other. (John 13:35) Not just by saying it, although being able to say it would be better, but God loves all His children the same. Many Christians today could "talk-the-talk" but hav'nt gat the slightest idea of what "walking-the-walk" truly means. I'd rather be dumb, and have a faithful and prosperous walk with God, than to be in a perfect physical condition, yet, still, a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal in the sight of God! |
