Genesis 18:25 (New King James Version)


25 Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

We are all retarded by the sin of Adam. Thankfully, Jesus healed us all.

Amen, my friend.

Autism.... Mentally Challenged...

Let's say a Minister is diagnosed with Alzhiemer's..and forgets who he is and every thing he's stood for?

What will the verdict in your opinion be?


I would prefer this to be thought provoking vs. just provocation ...

any answers?

Do you really want to know or is this a set-up?

Here is what is pure speculation as far as where they will spend eternity....We are to comfort the feebleminded....Some people cannot understand the simplicity of the gospel or the plan of salvation.

We are to comfort them and not upset them with concepts they cannot grasp. Where will they be after judgment? What about "the new earth" mentioned in these verses?...Maybe they'll be there. I have heard this preached, but I am not sure if I really believe or understand it.

According to 1 Thessalonians 5:14:
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

Read these four verses...There will be a new heaven AND a new earth.

Isaiah 65:17
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

Isaiah 66:22
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

2 Peter 3:13
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 21:1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea

There are all kinds of brain disorders, illnesses, and diseases that make people, even those who were once 'normal', to act 'un-normal'.

I once took care of a UPC pastor who had Alzheimer's and the horror his wife went through as she would try and feed him and he would swing at her and cuss.

She cried to me that he'd never hit her before his illness, and the language was something he saw as disgusting and vile. She also understood that the body she was caring for was no longer her husband spiritually, and the flesh was all that could be dealt with.

I believe he was in heaven long before his body went into the ground.
