Why Won't God Heal Amputees?

To 'kick ass'

I hope this solution is 'on topic'

The trouble is that it may take about one hundred years before it can happen. I thouight about this problem and figured that one way to stimulate the bodies 'genes' is by eventually learning the electrical pulsations that control the 'growth' factor to stimulate the body to grow another 'foot, hand or whatever.

I think with the advancement of science in the future, this could be an achievable goal.

It is infact on topic, but I will point out that the argument being made is for miraculous healing like the spontaneous recovery from blindness, parapalegia, cancer, etc by way of "faith" healing. Scientific or medical recovery are different matters because they are developed through research and development; that is, medical treatments and cures are developed by essentially emperical methods rather than faith in a deity.

Would you disagree with my assessment based on the web page?

Thank you for the contribution; cheers

, I look forward to future discussion,

That type of religious healing (miracle) is not well publicised.

Naturopathic physicians perform miracles every day just by 'dietary' corrections and vitamin/mineral supplementation.

However, the creation/replacement of missing limbs is not now possible.

The best option now is the advancement of the artificial limbs to appear as natural as possible.

You know, if'n there wuz a god, and s/he healed the blind, the lame, the possessed, the lepers--those with cancer, TB, leukemia, diarhea, worms, and tumors in the brain-- the very fact that this god never, never, ever caused a missing leg to grow back, says something.

I think it says that god is totally powerless to grow back missing limbs. This god just can't cut that particular mustard. In the face of amputeeship, this god is hopelessly helpless. Not a clue. Impotent.

Of course, it wouldn't be the FIRST time.

In the first chapter of Judges, we see that god was also powerless against iron weapons.

Now, if we could only raise an army of quadruple amputees with iron weapons...

Pyrotex, that is so ridiculous.

The real reason he doesn't heal amputees is clearly set out in Matthew 5:30. It's not that he doesn't have the power. He just advocates amputation.

Quote:

And if thy right hand offend the, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

By healing amputation he would clearly be damning people to hell
