Hello everyone,
Please could you share your thoughts. My sister is coach of Special NeedsTeam in NL and , they all seem so innocent, and pure.They have different degrees of needs, Down's syndrome, Autism, learning disabilities etc. My niece is part of the group also. My question is , do they have carnal minds? The reason I ask is because I have spent considerable time with them and I have not
witnessed
Anything other than happiness, joy and love . My sister says that she wished the whole. World was as smart as her group. Although not intellectual, they sure do show humility and love. ❤️️

Hello Mustard,
The human race, young, old, handicapped, retarded, etc... is born morally weak and subject to vanity. "The whole creation...." The carnal mind is apart of all of us. 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' God by His spirit changes us daily, chastising us, teaching us, to have 'the Mind of Christ.' We are learning to be like God. These handicapped are no different. They too will be judged and taught. But we know God judges each man according to their works and that He will do right. As He said, "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" Some will receive few stripes while others many. I can imagine for these individuals the judgment will be very light and they will happily learn and acquire the mind of Christ. Certainly quicker and with less judging than say... someone like Hitler.
Remember God is no respector of persons. All the world will learn righteousness once His judgments are in it. For those of the house of God, judgment is now, and the process already began.
God bless,
Alex

Friend Alex,
Thanks for the response.
Isn't it also true that part of learning righteousness will require a new heart or mind. Or is teaching enough to effect the needed change? I think a permanent change takes more than information and practice.
Eze 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Eze 36:27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
"And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them And I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, Ezek 11:19
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Certainly Bob. God gives us a new heart and writes His law upon it. Its all part of the process of being conformed to His image. As ray was fond of saying, 'All is one.'
God bless,
Alex

In the meantime, I think we can learn a lot from those with special needs. And we will be judged by how we treat them.
