Relationship & Responsibility

In Christian Theism human relationships are deem as important.  God created mankind in His image and God also saw the need to create a pair of humans.  Humans need each other and being able to relate to one another in a healthy manner helps the development of self; it is reasoned relationality helps develop/emerge[1] the first-person perspective in each individual.  If healthy relationships help the development of self then it's a fact relationships are important to the development of mankind.  People tend to think about themselves at times, and being concerned with oneself a lot of the time can cause harm to relationships; for example, being a selfish person can impede on relationships one tries to build with different individuals.  Inasmuch, focusing on oneself solely will affect a relationship with God as the focus on God will diminish and the focus on oneself will increase.

Now, it is entirely possible for a person who is disabled, brain damaged, etc. who will not be able to make a conscious choice when it comes to relating to God or others; if such is the case, I am assuming God will not hold the person accountable for not being able to make certain conscious choices.  It is also conceivable to me an innocent[2] person will be pardon by God, but a person that is guilty[3] will be condemn by God.  Exactly who is guilty and how much the person failed to do I leave to God and the individual.  By no means do I deny original sin, but I don't think certain systematic theologies take into account the predicament some individuals with certain deficiencies find themselves in.  What I do know is in Scripture we read about responsibility (i.e. Matthew 25:14-30), and it should be understood some people will have more responsibility than others.
