I see so many Christians saying I need to just have faith. Ir that I’m not a true Christian at all because I’m disabled. I’ve suffered almost multiple whole entire Christian life.

I have so many Christians who say that the Lord is going to cast me away because I suffer so many illness.

Even on these forums I have ppl say that there is something wrong with me and that I have no hope.

It just makes me so angry when so called Christians boast about how they do everything right and make us who suffer from disabilities casts out.

One time I was talking to a man and when I got home from my meeting with him I almost doubted u was even saved. The Bible clearly says don’t look down on people’s faith

I suffer almost all the time. I can’t go to church because it triggers my anxiety that cripples me. It’s just sad that my Christian life is tide around suffering.

Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted.

Look it's suffering for righteousness sake that counts. Suffering alone means nothing. It's just suffering. So I would get out of it as soon as I could if I were you, unless you are not like Jeremiah and you do indeed desire the day of sickness so that you can somehow justify your complacency.

I have not run away from being your shepherd, nor have I desired the day of sickness. You know what came out of my lips; it was before your face. ~Jeremiah 17:16

Sorry that your suffering. Hopefully being on the forum will help you connect with people. Is there maybe a small group like Sunday School or something you could be a part of that could help you connect with someone. We aren't meant to go it alone

.....and here's an example of what is being referred to in the OP. Would you say that to someone with cancer or MS?

Dabro... I'm sorry for what you've gone through. I pray you can find some people to support you and not blame and discourage you.

Many prayers being said. People don’t seem to want to understand things that don’t effect them. Would be wonderful if you could find a small group for learning, worship and prayer. I do pray you find those in your community who are supportive and caring, the way all Christians should be. Please do not give up.

Being sick or disabled is not a sign of a lack of faith. A former pastor of mine suffers with tinnitus, I have diabetes, my current pastor has bad bouts with bronchitis, and so on. Illnesses have nothing to do with faith or the lack of faith. John 3:16 reads "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Not "whosever believe and are in perfect health".
Unfortunately people are sinful and one of the sins is of judgment. The next time someone downs you because of your disability say, "I will pray that God open your heart and mind" then walk away knowing you are saved.

I was going to quote him but I was like what’s the point.
