How would a blind and deaf person achieve salvation?

@jshm2 Great thought. I like this point of yours [quote]Salvation is a path, not a destination. [/quote] . Absolutely agree.

@Iwillwait Thank you. I would be happy if such considerations exist in every God's dictionary whom people believe.

@Amish
We are talking about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob right.
I do understand that our God is omnipotent.

@Pfuzylogic There are many people in this world. Not only Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Not necessarily everyone has to believe in the God of Abraham.

@Amish
that isn’t an Amish belef.

@Adstar Such perception is purely your lack of compression. I just would like to repeat what I said before.
People never hate the truth. Infact the search for truth is the core of human existence.

@Amish You can make statements as much as you like but the proof is in the eating not the recipee.. Statements by themselves are worthless..

@Adstar Yes agree. The salvation recipee has no proof!

@Amish
What is your question?
“Isn’t it” Doesn’t make sense.

@PfuzylogicI guess either your vision is blinded or you lack comprehension skills. No worries!

@Amish Are you saved by the blood?

@GuyWithOpinions Absolutely, well said. I agree with your answer.

@4meAndyou Along with the scriptures in Braille? Or that is not mandatory for salvation?

@Amish I am sure you are aware that reading scripture is a choice. I refer you to an interesting movie called "The Book of Eli".

@4meAndyou Choice is always good. But problem is with the advertisement of that choice and the consequences of the choice at the same time.
Thank you for the movie reference.

@val70 So can I take it that reading Bible is not mandatory. If we keep doing good deeds in life as per our capacity and circumstances, grace follows us?

@Amish Are you saying that grace comes from reading the Bible then? Live a christian life each day. Where do you find that sort of information? Oh yes, the internet

@Amish I can understand that for any faith (Christianity is not the only fruit) you do need read its texts to understand its definition of its deity, or have them read to you. For someone blind and deaf that would obviously as physically difficult as it would be for him or her to understand anything else; but it would depend on what communication the individual does have with others.

I used to know a lady who was a professional carer for very severely disabled adults, and she told it can be possible to communicate with someone profoundly both blind and deaf, as one of her clients was. To what extent though, is another matter; but they are helped by aids like Braille provided it is possible for them to learn it.

It may be that the sacred texts, written anyway by people not gods, do become less important than the concept of a creative and caring god, over and above any liturgy. Books like those define the deity and guide worshipping it, but it is the deity who matters.

What worries me more, and I think this is what you worries you, is the idea that being unable to read or listen to a religious text bars the person from that religion's deity, hence basically just writes them off.

@ArishMell [quote]What worries me more, and I think this is what you worries you, is the idea that being unable to read or listen to a religious text bars the person from that religion's deity, hence basically just writes them off.[/quote] Not all the religions. There are religions that respects people's freedom of belief and choice of God. They focus on good deeds of the person within their circumstances and never attach consequences for not believing in any particular God.

@Amish A fair point. That seems an ideal way to be spiritual.

@SW-User Yes heard about her. Thanks for making me refresh my memory.

@canusernamebemyusername How ?

@GerOttman pinball wizard ?

@Dlrannie Question is not about Braille. Question is in combination with the requirements for salvation. Anyways thanks for your suggestion. Do missionaries spread word of God in sign language?

@th3r0n Do missionaries spread word of God in Braille too?

@Amish I would assume so

@REMsleep True. They learn good things from their family and culture irrespective of being differently abled. The question was in the context of the scenario where some people make exclusive claim about one and only one true God or scriptures...not believing in something landing them in hell etc. In that context the question will challenge that notion.

@Emosaur I am not sure about the first bit but I have never heard of any Christians saying being blind or deaf is a "choice"; though there may be some who try use the "God's will" excuse as a sort of comforter.

I am not a believer but I know that statement of yours as it stands is merely a rather cruel and illogical generalisation; by saying effectively that Christians have no common humanity or empathy.

@Emosaur I see what you mean, but I still doubt they'd agree with blaming the victim. They might take a fatalist "God's will" approach, especially with such misfortunes as illness and disability.

I have had my knees replaced but whether God was involved or not, I certainly did not choose to develop arthritis as you say a Christian would accuse me of doing.
