Why doesn't God heal amputees?

[brinny]

Is this going some place relevant?

yes.

i apologize for my tendency to seem like i'm going all over the place..

i have a point, though.

 

[brinny]

Fair enough.

thank you.

Then make it rather then wasting time.

i was trying to get a reference from you on what you are familiar with in the Bible and go from there.

In the Bible there are countless places where God healed and restored.

i was going to ask you if you find them credible?

No.

 

[brinny]

No.

fair enough.

 

[TheQuietRiot]

to my knowledge He hasn't.

Does that mean however that He cannot?

If he is as powerful as Christians describe not only could he heal amputees but cure every disease or ailment that humanity has ever suffered from past present or future. So it is obviously well within his power to heal an amputee.

So, why doesn't he?

 

[TheQuietRiot]

I have no idea who or what that is.

I don't find that to be convincing evidence.

You raise a good point.

Fair enough.

Does it mean that He will choose to?

Your loss then.

Even going by the story the arm was not regrown. It was reattached by a Dr who gave a very low chance on it healing.

You cannot expect me to fathom the future actions of a deity that I don't even believe in.

 

[Dave-W]

What was not in the article was that the arm/hand was a different color from the rest of his body, and had no finger prints.

Again - if you want to know more - get a hold of the guy. I am not going to spoon feed you.

To quote that famous evangelist Darth Vader: "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

 

[TheQuietRiot]

Your loss then.

I fail to see why.

No, i don't expect you to.

Regarding healing, I can only speak of my own experiences.

From the information you have given I have no reason to further pursue this particular matter as it does not constitute convincing evidence.

Some pictures and articles from the 60's do not prove that God regrew this mans arm. What would asking the man himself achieve?

 

[Dave-W]

As your profile says "atheist," I am afraid there is little that could be construed by you as being evidence.
God requires "FAITH," and solid scientific proof is not faith.

If all the evidence you have is "faith" then I would not want to waste your time any further.

It takes reason and evidence to convince me of something.

 

[MehGuy]

It happens all the time. The atheists just cover it up and often times re-chop the limbs to cover up the secret.

I understand that. But I am not above believing in supernatural revelation. I have seen it happen to another hardened atheist who (while I was praying for him) suddenly shouted out "!@#$%^&*!!! He's REAL!"

He has since served as an evangelist missionary in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Would you like me to pray for you?
