Best Answer

Most, if not all, Christians believe that:

  • Everyone is equal in the eyes of God, including the disabled and elderly. No race is better than another.
  • Disabled people have the right to the same quality of life which everyone else has.
  • All people have a purpose, and God always has a reason for suffering or illness, even if it is not always easy to see.

Another point:

From a spiritual standpoint, the mentally disabled would NOT be "equal in the eyes of God" in this regard: they are in no danger of being judged for "sinfulness." God will not hold anyone to a standard that they cannot comprehend (Romans 5:13 and others).

Do Christians believe in disabled people?

Of course... disabled people are equal with 'normal' people in status. All are made in the image of God. Furthermore, many Christians believe disabled babies should not be killed before birth since they are equally special in the eyes of God and represent another human soul that will live in eternity. Disability is the result of the fall, and the disabled will be whole again in Heaven.

What do Christian believe about mentally disabled people and slow people?

I am a Christain, and we don't believe anything, except that God made them that way for a reason, and he loves them no matter what, and that is how we are expected to believe to. Besides, there is nothing wrong with them; it was all in God's intention. We don't feel one way or the other. We justtrust that god did so for a reason.
