Why do people think that disabilities have anything to do with a person’s place in God’s Kingdom? Disabilities only apply to how people are viewed by Society but God views our faith. That’s all.
So the question becomes can handicapped people have faith? And the answer to that is YES.
Nowhere in the Bible is there any reference to disabilities. Now why do you suppose that is because God’s omni so He knew that disabilities would exist so what is the problem?
I think that for God there isn’t one but for society there is a huge problem. Society also governs fashions and hairstyles so is God’s kingdom like fashions or a hairstyle? NO! Those are of this world and God is not of this world.
Churches however seem to have a huge problem with disabilities so why is that?
Churches are supposed to be like God but they’re more like Societal organizations and people with disabilities are both different than and not accepted by society.
I have dealt with this type of problem before at a Church and I was kicked out!
But there is a big fear regarding peoples societal view that it may have a negative effect on things like attendance and contributions if people with disabilities are included so to avoid that happening people with disabilities are not welcomed and are excluded.
This IS a societal issue and nothing more so that is why this is such a huge problem.
In the Bible there was a similar societal problem with race. If you were a Jew then fine but if not then no way!
And thanks to Jesus we no longer have that problem but others have developed which have nothing to do with God but have everything to do with Society and unfortunately God’s people are following that.
So if I’ve said nothing else then let me say: STOP IT NOW OR YOU WILL STOP IT LATER!
