Some kind of media documentation of people regrowing lost body parts, stories you heard don't count, would be nice. I would think that people who have had arms and leg regrow would be anxious to demonstrate their power of the deity who did it.
Only things I could find is from T.B. Joshua and Thorben Sondergaard.
I do not understand why most don't put it on youtube and go to the doctor and share it and let people come over to see it. It annoys me to hear they raised 23 dead in Africa. Where's the evidence?

In the case of lost limbs, or things that don't go into remission, he never heals.
He regenerated an arm on LeRoy Jenkins back about 1960.

And I am sure that is not the only case.

There's never been anything to suggest that God works miracles like that on any sort of regular basis. This happened a lot during Christ's time on Earth, because he was, himself, performing them to reveal that he was the Messiah.
But before and after, there isn't much in the way of miracles unless there was a holy purpose behind it. Like the Plagues or some other such thing.
Some Christians simply get too carried away, especially being that Christianity is a religion of martyrdom.

However, it's not unreasonable for a Christian to believe that God regularly works smaller miracles in other ways. When the ancient Jews needed food, for example, they received 'manna' as they traveled. In the same way, indigenous people in the 3rd world experience the multiplying of resources, and even outright declare them as miracles all the time.

With the part of the world we live in, however, such miracles are taken for granted and God desists. The 1st World is blinded by it's own abundance and technology, which is not an arbitrary notion because the Bible outright speaks on such societies and their vanities.

Okay, so from this we can determine that sometimes God heals, and sometimes he doesn't.

Why does he never heal amputees?

to my knowledge He hasn't.

Does that mean however that He cannot?

So why do you think he won't heal amputees? Or other diseases that don't go into remission?

i can't say He won't, regarding amputees, or diseases that don't go into remission because i'm not familiar with every person's experience.

i can only speak for myself.
