Why Does God Create People with Special Needs? The Surprising Purpose Revealed
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 ноя 2024
- In this thought-provoking video, we dive into a deep question: Why does a loving God create people with special needs, such as Down syndrome or autism? If everyone is meant to glorify God and live with purpose, how do these individuals fit into that plan when they may not be able to serve, worship, or interact in the ways others do? Frank Turek addresses this challenging topic by exploring the role of suffering, the unique contributions of individuals with special needs, and the profound lessons they teach us about love, compassion, and growth. Join us for an insightful discussion that challenges perceptions and reveals a greater purpose.

I'm autistic. I was bullied in school because I have autism, making me feel that my mental disorder was something that I had to correct, but after being found by God, I embraced being one because I realized that I am fearfully and wonderfully made by God and that I have a greater purpose than I thought I had. 🥺Thank you so much for this. God Bless. 😊
Same. And now my severe ASD ADHD child is often mistreated when we are in the community. He's better off in homeschool because he gets social opportunities that are based on him practicing healthy boundaries. Not forced to endure bullies like I was...or fake friends. He's learning to be more socially adept than I ever was.
We also can take a mental health or physical health day when we need to. We can work in bed or make up for it the next week/day.
If you have children just consider that. 💕 It was too expensive for me to go to work during Obama's wreck of economy and workforce etc. I was in nursing and it would have been too expensive to get TRUSTWORTHY childcare so I stayed home. Public preschool was abusive....SA and more I will always regret ignoring my instincts...they gaslight and use peer pressure like crazy to get parents to think it's ok to part and leave little ones with strangers but it's developmentally harmful.
I thought I didn't want kids....I ended up pregnant even though doctors had told me I'd need medical aide to have any.
So don't fear having kids due to your disability...I feared it mostly for that and for the world being cruel (as the Bible tells us it is...but I didn't accept salvation until my child was five, another regret waiting but it was probably meant this way).
My child's father and I actually hated one another and were using each other at the time of pregnancy ....we forced ourselves to make it work for our child even though like everyone was telling us to not marry. LOL Modern peeps... family and friends made fun of me "it's not the 40s" etc 🙈 told us to abort etc.
Well even my grandma who told me to get an abortion because in poverty....said she regretted saying that and she cried and apologized to me when my child was three and diagnosed with ASD. She could see the blessing as could I. 💕
It's not easy but he's our miracle and he's actually one of the happiest children we've known. Unlike how I was. LOL 😆 Blessings to you and yours. Try to make sure whomever you sleep with is someone you'd be willing to have children with. It's no harm to wait.
If you do have children it's worth knowing that a diet high in choline and folate can help prevent autism. The brain structure is created from conception to age two. It builds the neurons during that time. You can eat liver while pregnant after the first 60 days of pregnancy. A lot of people's diets these days dont have the necessary vitamins that's needed to build a solid brain structure. Please dont be mad with what I just told you. It's something that needs to be taken seriously..

My son is on the spectrum. He is the most loving, caring, intelligent, young man. He is 20 years old. I don’t deserve him. He is amazing. Yes, there are challenges but blessed be The Name of The Lord. 🩸✝️🕊🔥🙏🏻🙌🏻👸🏻🇺🇸
I have a 10 month old granddaughter with Down syndrome (T21). She is the most amazing loving happy tolerant person I’ve ever known. These children are on another level, a higher level than the rest of society. The only time she voices complaint is when she is either hungry or tired. These people are a true gift from God. The amount of love and care that she has brought to our entire family, friends and the community are second to none. We are so thankful and so incredibly blessed.
We all have limitations why should it make us any less valuable
❤❤❤
Your entire comment is about you.
Watching my little nephew with Leukemia and Autism, I learned the most important message I ever learned (aside from the Holy Bible and knowing Christ Jesus). He was attached to a six foot tube feeding poison and some adult had to keep him within a crib so that he would not wander too far from what was connected to his heart.
I was reading a book, in my own world as young adult and soon to be engineer. My mother (his grandmother in the crib) was in her 60s, playing with him. The nurse came in with a pouch of poison and attached it to his hose and put the pouch into a pocket on the back of his onsie and suddenly he was free. No longer was he attached to the big machine in the room. Still the poison going straight into his heart. He was finally free.
He ran away from grandma and fell. He threw up all over the floor. He smiled a happy smile and stood up and ran off to the far end of the room.
What did I learn? We are an ignorant people unaware that we are taking in poison from an evil world, but we are free and life is a gift. Get up no matter what went on before and press on with a smile on your face and a dream for the future. The best is always yet to come for the child of God.
He is still alive and is in his 30s.
I feel sorry for the people who will find this was their heaven for they forsook the one who gave them everything.
Having an unhealthy child is a blessing? If given the choice, what would the child say?
I work with special needs (DS)every day and let me tell what I realized no matter what they may have going on .. these people are the most loving affectionate people I have met !!! They bring me joy !!
I thought for years my son with special needs was for me to help. I know now he was given to me so I would become a better, stronger Christian woman . He gave me unconditional love and taught me how beautiful a laugh or smile is from a "special" child.
Thank you God. ❤
Do you think there could have been another way God could have done that without creating a special needs child? How can we all be creating in the image of God and be given free will when he's using humans to each other humans some kind of lesson through the suffering of humans
@@memecity9849lol christians dont answer anything...they just say follow the bible or burn and then they blab about how that god is good...when he isnt
Amen
We are a special needs family. Autism, ADHD, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and dyslexia are all represented. I could spend my days in bitterness and asking God why? Some days are not easy, no lie. Lots of days, in fact. However, there are countless beautiful days as well, full of joy and delight in the Lord, treasured perhaps all the more for the harder times. I look at my kids, my husband, myself and with all our diagnoses, I see rich purpose, even if it is not always in the typical ways the world expects or values. I cannot say I have never struggled nor that I do not still have down times, but I savor what God has taught me through it all. Thanks for this.
I’m going through some hard times right now with my sweetie. She is bed bound and incontinent and can’t stop messing herself. It’s literally my worst nightmare. I suffered as a teenager from constant water and sewage problems and have fecal hangups. I have physical issues such as Multiple Sclerosis and tons of heart ailments. Please pray for me. I just want and need physical strength to help keep her safe and clean and fed. Been married 44 years in 2024.
Just prayed for you and your sweetie, love to all and God bless.
So sorry to hear this, Tony. Please remember that (as unbelievable as it may seem) this scripture is true:
14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:14-16).
I hope that you are able to get the spiritual, emotional and practical support you need at this time. Praise God for the hope of eternal
life (and new bodies!) for all who repent of sin and trust in Christ Jesus.
44 years. You got this. Stay strong! You da man
Prayed for you
Tony, for MS, look into a Ketogenic/ Carnivore diet.
May the Lord give you strength, Brother.
I have an un-diagnosed disabling condition, from birth. Our first son had multiple disabilities, and my sister is a long-term mental-health patient, in care. So, I guess I'm saying I can answer this question!! So, people like us are 'casualties of war'. This is war, and I'm on the front line. Just as in warfare, it's my belief that God allows all manner of suffering THAT OTHERS MIGHT GO FREE! And after all, this is only a few short years, then I get a perfect body "like unto His glorious body"! Hope that helps someone. 🙂
I remember some years ago a man hated God because his wife miscarriaged a child. I so wanted to talk with him because my own wife went through two. What this man didn't understand was that because he and his wife conceived that child that youngster even now is giving God glory and honor. As my two children are. If my wife and I had not conceived them then they wouldn't be there now with God and waiting for us to one day join them there.
💕🙏🕊️🫂 Absolutely. This is what I tell people who say abortion is a reason for kids to avoid suffering or how could babies suffer and die if God loved them....but they are now with Him in eternity the closest with Him we can even get.
Unfortunately their parents are the ones suffering and will suffer if they are choosing to continually reject the Truth, the Way, the Life. The children are not suffering anymore. I'm greatful to have mine here even though we have unique challenges. I feel deeply for parents that have to be separate from them by the veil but you're blessed and blessing God in how that works and your faith! Your patience that you must have.
You and your wife should be able to be with them as well when you're called to go home. Much love to you and yours. Thank you for sharing the beauty of God's plan with others.
StraightUp, this was needed. it's crazy, we all have this Special Need for our Savior, Jesus Christ. God bless you all.
I have NF1 It doesn't bother me.
HE Saved me at 20
I'm going to heaven
One day I'll have a new body.
My amputated leg will be re-grown
Being born with a handicap has never been a problem
I have mild autism and my son has severe autism with ADHD and other co-diagnosis. He's been such a blessing to my husband and I, as any child is. Personally my child worships in his own ways. He has hard times, especially against judgemental and eugenicist society.....but those are the same people that hate Christians as well.
My child also suffers less at times because he's so in his own world he's able to get those "breaks" he needs. It's been less since we prayed over him. Since we accepted salvation years ago. But we all have challenges.
I think it's interesting when people bring up suffering....we all have it at some point. Most people rather live through that than to die. That's a testament to God's plan for us to also know GOOD is ultimately greater than evil. Even in the worst of cases, many survivors of EVIL choose God. They see the truth in the spiritual realm...in this experience of this world/dimension/time.
..we must have good and bad. They don't exist without the other.
It's beyond our comprehension why there isn't some magical way we should have it differently...other than God's promises to us for after this fleshly life. The people that didn't live through abuse and other forms of evil or just "accidents" are likely with the Savior in eternity living amazing lives.
There are different levels of heaven BTW. We are told in the Bible about God's judgement for us based on accountability. How children and people that are mentally like children are not expected to be as accountable as others. They are saved innately.... IF they have not been able to consciously and intentionally choose to walk from him/refuse Him.
Who would be more innocent and deserving of that kind of salvation than those born with such disabilities? People that didn't deserve to suffer here....but did perhaps to teach us all a lesson and for other reasons beyond our understanding...perhaps to help us understand EVIL (vs GOOD).
No faith or lack of faith can prove or disprove reasons for this. Without a reasonable doubt. If you've accepted salvation remember to maintain your armor. Ephesians 6. Know your Lord in study of His Word. 💕 FAITH in the Almighty creator.
Who’s the man that answered the question I forgot his name
This really blessed me so much. I've gone through so much suffering in my life especially with my health. It gets confusing and frustrating at times. This helps me see things from a different perspective. Thank you for sharing 🙏
I thank God for you brother Frank! And all your audience. In Jesus name ❤💪
Cuz God knew we needed Angels here on Earth as much as Heaven💙💙💙
When the young man said 'I loved your answer, thank you so much" I almost got emotional 🥹
This is extremely easy to answer. Anyone with a mental disability that can not comprehend the law can not agree to it, or commit to it. They are perfect in the eyes of God. They cannot sin, the same as small children. The main purpose to life on earth is simply to receive a body, which is necessary to be resurrected. This requirement is fulfilled for the mentally impaired. Many people believe and I agree with, where we are born, when, which parents, life circumstances were directly effected by our actions in the war in heaven when Lucifer was cast. Those who are born without comprehension are some of the most valiant spirits who fought and have a guaranteed place in Gods kingdom
Because my people in my life that cannot do for themselves, whether it is because they are just babies, or developmentally disabled, or dementia, or bed bound have ABSOLUTELY helped me grow into being more like Jesus.
Unconditional love man.
What a beautiful and profound answer! Thank you, Frank! God bless you, sir!
As someone who has atusim
And have very dependent grandmother i 100% agree
Dr Frank Turek has a special way of explaining things that makes it very clear.
He never answered the question! It wasn't about the nature or supposed benefit of suffering but the fact that special needs people (especially autistics) tend not to follow religion, and since Jesus said that _NO ONE_ comes to the father but through acceptance of _him_ then by implication special needs people are damned!
@@cardcounter21
He was cut off before getting to it. My understanding with salvation is everyone is judged based upon what they know. For instance, everyone knows that if a very young child dies, he or she will be with our Lord. Someone with deficient intelligence would be judged similarly.
Every child that dies goes to heaven? So abortion would be a better choice for everyone. Why take the risk. Theologically it makes good sense.
@@hhh-et2vi Exactly.
@@32Brandonp Are we right?
This was such a blessing!!! My Son has low functioning Down Syndrome. 25 years.
The Bool of Job teaches us that it is not important for us to know why God does what he does but it is important for us to trust in him in whatever that he does
I would have been more impressed with Mr. Turek if he had just stuck to THAT answer.
Turek+ your break down was truly beautiful. Thank you for posting this man truly
I think it’s really important to help children with special needs lead normal lives. They deserve the same opportunities as everyone else, and that means creating inclusive environments where they can thrive alongside their peers.We should focus on fostering independence by teaching life and social skills. This empowers them to navigate the world confidently. Plus, advocating for equal access to education and resources is crucial for their growth.
However, we need to be careful about over idealising these kids. Putting them on a pedestal can create unrealistic expectations and might isolate them from their peers. It’s essential to celebrate their strengths without making them feel like they always have to be "special."
They are Studies that many disabled children desire to be seen as "normal" and want to participate fully in everyday activities without being labeled as special or different.
I crashed a hang glider in 2000 and I should have died according to my hematocrit dropping to six three days after surgery. I prayed for another chance to be present for my then ten year old. I became a care provider (level -3) for three non-ambulatory, non-verbal girls who changed me completly. Britnee was blind yet always happy and she helped every cps child with anger issues - including mine.
My heart was broken when I was unable to maintain the level of care that they needed after my hysterectomy. I closed my home in 2014 and they were placed in a level 5 facility.
They were the most amazing and loving humans that I have met.
I think my sister was born with special needs so that my mom would have purpose and remain selfless in taking care of her for her whole life and to also help my dad change his life for the better. We don’t understand everything, but once we know God is good, we trust him. Plus I know in heaven, my sister will be perfect again and will be able to do all the rest of what God created her to do.
Every life may be intentional with love but the feelings and acceptance truly differs vastly personally by the one being born deformed. And the values placed by society which affects how we are treated or looked at also differs in life here on earth. How it is, the reality of it all is unavoidable, no matter how loved or precious every life is in God's eyes sermons are preached or explained
This answer I a cliche stock answer I was taught in childhood many many years ago across the world. Doing things for eachother and for God isn't empty, but this guy's rehearsed answers are.
So instead of criticizing his answer and calling it empty than why don't you give it a go yourself? I can’t stand when people criticize the way someone responds or does something but they won’t offer any substance or better answer to the question. Either you don’t have one or you don’t want to say because you will be criticized the same level you criticize others.
Thank you Jesus
I just had a friend die of cancer, and I had cancer and lived. God is Good ❤

How?
@@davidplummer2473he’s trolling, ignore it
@davidplummer2473 because there no reason the other person should had die and u live.
I am small all my life. I got picked on all my life. I know in Gods kingdom important
that’s not special needs
@cclmpr Did I say it was ? No I didn't.
Exactly! We dont see that. We think we are perfect.
Okay, I wish we would explain this issue also from the perspective of someone with a condition. I know that’s really difficult because essentially most of you guys haven’t actually experienced that. But, I will explain it since I have.
I was born with a permanent disability. And all my life I have heard people use the phrase, “God made you this way” “Why did God create people with conditions?” Etc. And I wish every Christian who hears these phrases would immediately correct whoever says that-because that is actually false.
God did NOT create people to have conditions. God did NOT want people to have a condition.
In fact what God created for us was a literal paradise and perfect bodies. And God didn’t want us to go through suffering.
Essentially God didn’t want Adam and Eve to go through pain. But, what happened is Adam and Eve chose to turn away from good and chose to experience what it’s like to go down the path of ruin.
Those of us who are affected more quickly in our lives than others with the inevitable fate we all face-which is a path of destruction-it’s not because God wants us to experience this and it’s also not God who did this to us. Humankind chose to go down the path that is one of destruction.
Those of us with conditions-in a weird way we are somewhat blessed as Jesus says in one verse, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” And it’s because we know sooner than most how dire our situation is. We understand that this path all humanity is on is one of ruin. And we look into spiritual matters more seriously than others I think earlier in many cases because of our conditions.
We find the meaning of life faster than others.
But, do not let the phrase “you were created this way” to be said. That is 100% incorrect.
I was NOT created to have a permanent disability. That was NOT what God wanted. Nor how God created me.
God actually intended for me to have a perfectly functioning body. And someday God has promised that our bodies will be restored.
Of course I am loved by God even with a disability. Just as equally as any other. But again, God didn’t WANT me to have suffering.
Jesus showed us the Father and His will by healing every kind of sickness and disease including people born with disabilities and wasn't contradicting the Father but in agreement with Him. So sad what will happen to these special needs children when their parents pass away. I hope they don't end up as wards of the state. I pray the church does the Father's will and obeys His great commission to heal the sick, every kind as Jesus taught His disciples, that's us too. 🙏🙏🙏
Their purpose may be something else, but one thing is that they are put here to be loved in a selfless way by parents, siblings, and others.
Thats the ticket to heaven for those parents that do it the right way and the child is born with a pure pure heart ❤ don't ever question our creator dummies
God created us with a Free Will. All of us choose Sin and are Guilty before God we were pushed into that by the Devil That is Why there is Suffering in general.
Awesome answer.
A deeply touching and personal topic today. Thank you for sharing and thanks to God for helping us with strength through such challenges and making us better sons and daughters of God through it all.

Brilliant question
One of the main problems I hear with this theory is sacrificing your child for your own higher praising of god. That God created my child to never be able to say he loves anyone, show anyone affection, or be able to take care of his self at any point in his life. But that somehow his suffering will make me more willing to praise and love Christ. I’m a Christian, went to church, have asked Jesus to come into my heart and life and I whole heartily believe god lives through and in me everyday. But I don’t feel this answered the question. I’m conflicted with how such suffering my son endures everyday makes me and my family a better Christian. Truth be told, it challenges your love for the religion. Extremely complex question that I can say he didn’t answer for the “us” the Special needs community.

Great reply. Mr. Turek's response is just pure speculation at best, and smacks of fantasy. Why b.s. when a hearty "I trust in God" would have served so much better? I'm not a Christian, to be sure, and only watch these Turek videos out of curiosity because they pop up on my RUclips screen. He really strikes me as a pretentious know-it-all... an emperor with no clothes.
Even though I'm an atheist-agnostic (former Christian), I admire your ability to still believe and I would never try to take that away. However, I do get angry when Christian apologists always act like these bad things serve some higher purpose like making their non-disabled family members better people/Christians, instead of acknowledging the much more obvious - just terrible bad luck. Not to mention the child who's actually disabled has to suffer for no reason at all. You are not alone with having a special needs child. EDIT: What really infuriates me though is other Christians who say none of this is God's fault, it's all on us because we're sinners. If a severely disabled child is a 'sinner,' than God is pure evil.
@@BScott7220 I agree, I think if someone with the outlook of this guy had some more challenging experience that have no positive or reason then people would understand how we feel alone. All my life Iv tried to do good, and acknowledge my wrongs and asking for forgiveness, but when my child was born without the ability to eat, talk, walk, play, and do the basics of life, I’m still left wondering the purpose of it. I can comfortably say Iv tried both leaning into the word of God in my journey with my child, and time and time again I’m left feeling alone, unheard and unseen. I still believe there is a reason, as a human man never understand. I just wish people wouldn’t act as if the loving God Iv praised and givin my life to, would purposely allow my innocent child to be in this situation.
@@2themoon24 This is a very difficult conversation to have. Usually at this point I become contrarian or argumentative, and try to 'prove' my agnosticism (on a good day) / atheism (if feeling really despondent), but that wouldn't be helpful to you. As I said, I admire that you still believe. As a former Christian myself, who now also has a child similar to yours, I only feel bitter anger towards God, or nothing at all. I wish more Christians would take ownership of the implications of their beliefs. I wish more had the guts to just admit they're afraid of the void, or Hell, or whatever. That their worshipping this god for security... I wish someone would just come out and say, "From where I stand, God seems to be a huge jerk but I'm gonna worship Him anyway 'cause I don't want to be damned, and maybe, just maybe this miserable life will make sense once I'm in His presence. But I reserve the right to think He's an asshole and still be called a Christian." Instead we have to suffer through legions of crackpot apologists like Turek who do all sorts of mental contortions to make God seem OK. Who knows if any of it is real. What is real is that, as parents with special needs children - we are not alone (even if it feels we are).
@@BScott7220 Wonderful way to put it. I will say personally my entire life changed for the worst after I curse Gods name, after I blamed him for the pain I was in. I lost my Job to COVID, herniated a disc in my back, and my son developed diabetes after an immune response from a cold. In my opinion I feel as if the moment I question my agony I’m shown more of what life without this god would be. I continue to believe because half of it is fear for sure, I’m terrified to denounce a God that possibly is out there. But from where I stand, no one including this speaker can convince me that My God is doing this for my better good. Thank you for this opportunity to chat with someone with different outlooks with similar perspectives!
I would not have known what autism is,if it were not for my son who was diagnosed with Autism
Why doesn't GOD just end this all already!? Its so incredible on what people have to suffer through everyday!
this question is often asked, and the answer never seems to satisfy the asker. God allows choice and the things that follow choice. The world has been here a long time, so the consequences have multiplied beyond understanding. At first one domino fell, and we all know what happens when one domino falls, don't we? On a good note, when God is finished with his plan, He will end it all, and suffering will no longer be a "thing."
Jesus told a father that the son body might be broken but His Spirit is Whole
As an aspie ifeel a bjt peaceful hearing this, pls feel free to ask questions too
We all have limitations why should we think people with more or less are less valuable
It isn't about value. It's about needless suffering.
I don't see where anybody stated that. And it's beside the point, actually.
The natural mind CANNOT comprehend God's ways. You must be renewed in spirit that you understand understand the epic battle between Satan and God. Jesus on the cross paid for all sin (Satan) has caused to humanity. He is the murderer of man from beginning on. Jesus is the healer. Even if it takes that long until a believer sees Jesus eye to eye. He is my judge and Saviour.
Man that story got to me
Special needs means special purpose.
Amen
Amen...
AMEN
Okay this has always intrigued my mind, so lets compare the two healings that Jesus performed, for the blind man and for the paralyzed man. See the difference?
Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
That verse basically says God can do whatever he wants, and we have no right to question him
@memecity9849
Yes. And...?
But the subtext of your complaint is:
...and therefore God's acts are necessarily arbitrary and cruel and therefore the world would be far better off if memecity9849 was running it.
If I have that right, how do you knoelw God's actions and commands are arbitrary?
And how is God cruel in the context of your belief that all reality is just matter and energy, which reduces concepts like cruelty and justice and human rights to just figments of our imagination?
You can study matter and energy for all eternity but you will never find any evidence for human rights, justice, cruelty or kindness -- but once you have reduced reality to just matter and energy, you have NOWHERE ELSE TO LOOK.
@davidplummer2473 This means that God can literally do anything, and you would have to accept it to be good and not question it. Rape, murder, slavery, genocide etc, are all good things if God commands it, and all of which God has either committed himself or allowed others to do
Just because morality is subjective doesn't mean that good and evil does not exist. Justice, cruelty, human rights, and kindness are HUMAN CONSTRUCTS, of which none would exist without human beings
@@memecity9849 no you are wrong. We do not accept that evil is good. Job is an example. But we do accept that God is in control and are not to question Him on how He does things. It is called faith.
@JohnSmith-ug5ci But you do if it's commanded by God. In fact, if God commands genocide, then it's no longer evil, and you must think it's morally good, no?
What about people who suffer and have no family or friends to help them? What is God's plan for them?
Hah... You should meet my cousin, he's a couple years older than me, 65 or so.
When he was born his heart was upside down and outside of his body. That day the doctors fixed him, but before they were finished cousin died 3 or 4 times. So he was oxygen deprived, at the age of 7 his brain never got any older. A grown man now, with the cognitive abilities of a 7 year old child. Never went to school, never had a job.
To look at him, he's visibly mentally challenged. He has the appearance, there's no hiding it. When he has time to think about what he wants to say, it makes sense.
The man knows the Lord, has since being a teenager. Memorized the Bible, quotes scripture in a minute. Occasionally he sings in church, or sermonizes from his own perspective. Always in front of a full and silent congregation.
Nobody misses church that day. People come from other states to hear him preach. Everybody want's to hear every word he says. It's awe inspiring. Not him, it's what he says. Even in his condition, he has the gift.
How do you know it’s God that allows it or is it from us and our science
To summarise: special needs people must be created by a loving caring god to allow the rest to become better people through their innocent and needless suffering. What loving god does this? It’s cruel and unnecessary punishment with no reason. Luckily it’s not true.
I like your profile picture
Amen, brother!
I have some difficulty understanding why it's so hard for people in the western world to grasp the fact of why there is suffering in the world!!! Our first parents were to live in obedience to God and the world around them would've been pain and suffering free. They thought better and disobeyed God and as a result the world degenerated into the state it now is. Pretty simple to explain. It's also why God drew up a rescue plan with Jesus as its executor. Why is this so hard to get?!?
The western world? This has nothing to do, with where one lives, and knowledge of Gods word. The Bible says, that the majority of people everywhere, follow the ways of Satan. I would also guess, that even as ungodly our nation is, we are more Godly, and knowledgeable of his word, than any other nation, and or country.
Jesus referred to spiritual growth as a mustard seed in the kingdom of God. Serving and loving others is the mechanism to that growth whether they have special needs or not.
Why question God we have no right
Generalized: why does God expect us to behave like shepherds and not residents at a country club?
Humble stewardship looks very different than entitled, self congratulatory elitism like Nebuchadnezzar. If we must choose between stewardship and self reliance then perhaps the greatest blessings are people and circumstances that keep our heart on God.
I read a new study saying 1 out of 4 children have autism how many Adults who have not been Diagnosed are on the Autism Spectrum ?
So back to the original question, why do some people suffer their entire life with the inability to learn how to find god due to mental disabilities???
Special needs children are extremely sensitive to the Holy Spirit! Some are powerful seers and give prophetic confirmation. They are also great partners for evangelism. You can always strike up a conversation with someone God wants to reach when that individual is drawn to start a conversation with you because of the special needs person you are with. I have even done the sinners prayer with someone who spoke to me only because He was drawn to my special needs client. A few special needs individuals that did not know Jesus because of the teachings in their community now know Him. Make no mistake We look for Eliab. God looks for David and uses him mightily. David can come in a package we don’t see or regard.
THE BRED HAS BEEN BROKEN
It’s not Gods will, The same thing Job asked but he never got an answer but God gave him himself in the form of Jesus Christ when man disobeyed God chaos ensued he respected our wish to free will and took his hands off earth.
God allows physical and mental problems so WE can learn compassion.
By making other people suffer?
But….people can suffer like this and remain all alone….there is no one there to put out a hand and prevent them from wandering off at night…..therefore no one is learning anything from their suffering. Also….shouldn’t god inflict you if you need to learn, not your dad or your grandmother?
*"Knock knock."*
*"Who's there?"*
*"It's me, Jesus... Let me in."*
*"Let you in why?"*
*"So I can save you."*
*"Save me from what?"*
*"From what I'm going to do to you if you don't let me in."*
We fell, the ruler of earth is Lucifer, that's why.
What about a person born blind, deaf, and dumb, who can't see the word of God, hear the word of God, or even be told there is a God! Do they automatically go to hell because they didn't accept Jesus as their savior?
No, on the contrary probably going automatically to heaven. They are going to be judge by their conciousness and capacity and we know most of the special needs people have a pure heart. God is a fair judge with compassion and love!❤ Read Romans in the bible..
@@kiquelgavilan03 _"most of the special needs people have a pure heart"_
What does a pure heart have to do with anything? (are all special needs people sinless?) Jesus said NO ONE comes to the father but through _HIM!_ So if you didn't accept Jesus as your savior (which most special needs people haven't), you aint getting into heaven!
The Bible says God put the 10 commandments in our hearts. So when you get ready to steal or do something wrong and something deep down tells you to STOP, and you do it anyway. Then you have rejected God because you rejected the lawgiver. It doesn't matter if you know Jesus or even if you don't believe God is real to reject the laws in your heart is to reject the lawgiver. So for all the people that never knew about God shall be judged on their hearts. The Bible does talk about this. Take care

Oh no! According to the above bible passage we are ALL doomed!
@@cardcounter21 Romans 2 12 13 (God does not say people are good because they have heard the law. But people who obey the law will be called good people.
14 Some people do not have the law. But they do what the law says because their own hearts tell them to. They have a law of their own, even though they do not know the law. Take care
The combining genes is random. That is why.
I wish I had a downsyndrome brother
Consider that most kids are perfect when born but humans give them several shots at a time. I had a niece, born perfect, at 3 months was given her dose of shots and died that night! Never tell me it is good to give an infant these shots at a once!!!!! Quality of shots has changed…..on purpose!
The scripture here shows that blind ppl, per se, or special needs, are born with issues bcuz of SIN. SIN of the parents. Sometimes, it is for ppl to glorify GOD, but NOT ALL.
SIN CAUSES THESE SICK ISSUES. SOME ARE NOT.
I just heard this same ai voice in a video describing how the Ukrainian army is blowing up Russian tanks. "Weird" seems kind of lazy to me. Especially when quoting scripture.
What i really want to comment on is that if we can see that people have mental and physical handicaps. Then why isn't homosexuality considered a mental handicap ? I now this would most likely anger the gay community, but animals have been observed displaying homosexuality. So its real.
Its my opinion that it's a mental handicap.
The main reason for me writing this is because religions have always considered homosexuality a choice and therefore a sin. And i think they are wrong.
So Dawkins doesn't want my grandchild to live?
I’d like to ask this young man… Why do humans abort (murder) babies who have their entire lives ahead of them.
@@shivadizayin Why does God do the same? Why does it even matter since they automatically go to heaven?
Would you be ok with abortion if it was commanded by God?
It's a quality of life issue. It's cruel to bring a severely disabled child into the world. They go to Heaven anyway right? Why make them suffer?
Pretty interesting question, because by a very large margin most fertilized eggs are aborted unintentionally. And your question is not relevant to the young man's question, anyway.
@rexgoodheart3471 it's very relevant because what if God commanded a woman to abort her special needs child, would it be ok because God says so?
The premise of the question is wrong to start with, as God does not create them with special needs. He knits their soul with a fallen body, as the sin in this fallen world has created deformities and disorders.
Why does God create paranoid schizophrenics?
As there is no god thing and never has been and schizophrenia shouldn't exist if the bible was actually anything to go by.
If the god doesn’t exist it doesn’t create anything. Please demonstrate that the god could possibly exist first.
God does not create people with special needs. It's because humans fall short of the glory of God. It's because of human sexual lifestyles (examples, drugs, both legal and illegal, anal, having children at old age, sex with animals, and using herbals and other supplements. Remember, God is perfect. Adam and Eve have sinned. God did not create things in imperfections.
This is a gift from me to all of you who are truthful and honestly believing in our Lord Jesus Christ. Please dont blame God or make excuses. Amen.
I'm certain you don't realize how insulting that is.
How about the corrupt human dna its the fallen man . Stop blaming God for the deception that happened in the garden.
What bullshit. There was no literal garden.
@bdave2049 so stop blaming God 🤣🤣
@fredericklong-m2z Well, if God is all-powerful and sovereign, then why doesn't God have some responsibility for what happens? And why would you believe the garden story, given what we know about the world? It doesn't line up with modern knowledge of the world.
@@bdave2049 🤣🤣every civilization changes
@@fredericklong-m2z What has that got do with anything I said? Yes, civilizations change, but what has that got to do with what whether or not the garden story is true or why God seems to be all powerful but has no responsibility for what happens in the world?
So the point of creating some people to suffer is that other people around them can grow? Riiiiight.... What utter nonsense. That's just making up baloney because he can't genuinely justify the suffering. And, really, such arrogance to pretend that he knows the answer to every difficult question. I would have been more impressed if he had just been honest: "I don't really know. I trust that we will find out in due course."
The ultimate purpose of life is NOT to glorify some imaginary god(s) !! The ultimate purpose is to Live with meaning toward not necessarily yourself but to the entire planet. 🌎
Taking care of each other and helping to preserve the natural world that “spawned” US. It’s complete nonsense to try to please a deity that can’t even be proven to exist.
What a load of bollocks!
“God” is so wise, loving, caring , forgiving, never makes mistakes!
“God” created us with “sin” already built in, yet, according to religionists, we are expected/required to “repent”, “praise god”, and BEG FOR FORGIVENESS for something we aren’t responsible for!
Better (?) yet, “god” SACRIFICED its only begotten son to atone for/absolve us of our “sins”!
And, for some obscure reason, millions of people NEVER QUESTION!
God didn't create humans with sin, only free will. When Satan led Adam and Eve into disobeying God, an important question was raised. Satan did not call into question God's power... rather, Satan questioned God's right to rule. By calling God a liar who withholds good from his subjects, Satan charged that God is a bad ruler (Genesis 3:2-5). Satan implied that mankind would be better off without God’s rulership. That is why God allowed mankind to rule for themselves for all this time... to demonstrate how many problems would arise without his guidance. However, God will soon bring an end to this system, the last days have already begun.
I agree with 👆. It's in our DNA. passed down from our ancestors. Don't believe it, look at Romans 5:12
"When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned."
this didn’t help me
You didn't find baloney helpful? :)
