Why do you think that god won't allow anyone with a disability of any kind to be a priest and make offerings? [Spirituality & Religion]

"No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; 19 no man with a crippled foot or hand, 20 or who is a hunchback or a dwarf, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles. "

Leviticus 21:16-20

@Pikachu That's Old Testament. New Testament reset things and offerings are modelled on The Last Supper.
@Gumba1000

It's definitely the old testament, yes. But Jesus himself specified that the old laws were not to be forgotten until heaven and earth pass away.
But even IF we are ignoring these decrees because they are OT, the question remains because god did at one time specify that disabled people were unfit to be priests.

@Pikachu It could have been to illustrate that none are fit. In those days pretty much everyone would have ticked one of those boxes.
@Gumba1000
