Why won't God heal amputees?

[RandomGuy]

Yeah, I went there.

Any takers?

[Wild Cobra]

Yeah, I went there.

Any takers?

Which God?

[RandomGuy]

Which God?

Any of them. Take your pick.

If prayers to any given diety are supposed to be answered occasionally, why have no amputees been healed?

[scott]

He works in mysterious ways.

Read your mythology. If a God grants a favor to a mortal, they require some very difficult payment in return.

[Wild Cobra]

He works in mysterious ways.

God is a le. Not a name.

Do you mean Jehovah?

[Warlord23]

Who can know the mind of God?

[DarrinS]

Do liberal Christians and Jews hate themselves?

Any takers?

[scott]

God is a le. Not a name.

Do you mean Jehovah?

You're a ing idiot.

[Winehole23]

Is he required to?

[Wild Cobra]

You're a ing idiot.

I see.

Do you mean Zeus? Are Christians the only ones to have a God?

[boutons_deux]

The universe follows rules. Spontaneous generation of mammals' lost limbs ain't in the program.

[scott]

I see.

Do you mean Zeus? Are Christians the only ones to have a God?

No, I mean you are a ing idiot and it's unrelated to an deity.

[LnGrrrR]

You'll never win this argument RG, and here's why.

God does something good -> God loves us! See how he gives us good things!
God does something bad -> God loves us! We just can't understand his mysterious ways!

[Wild Cobra]

No, I mean you are a ing idiot and it's unrelated to an deity.

Why won't God heal amputees?

Really...

Please elaborate.

[Blake]

You're a ing idiot.

[Stringer_Bell]

If God healed one amputee, then he'd have to heal them all. Let's do away with the en lement system in the Bible, it's simply too taxing on God's magic power supply.

[baseline bum]

Why is no one bringing up God's sociopathic fits? It's right there in the bible, plain as day. His parents did a lousy job.

[RandomGuy]

God is a le. Not a name.

Do you mean Jehovah?

Sure, I guess.

If you like, because Bible searches are easy:

Mark 11:24:
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.


Matthew 18:19:
Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.




Seems to be a pretty explicit promise to answer prayers. No sacrifice needed.

[RandomGuy]

If My servants ask you about Me, I am near. I answer the call of the caller when he calls on Me.
They should therefore respond to Me and believe in Me so that hopefully they will be rightly guided.
(Surat al-Baqara: 186)
Koran

until you can prove there's no God, i'll stick to my personal belief that he exists. good luck.

[RandomGuy]

Query: Does god answer Prayer? Does any one know how to pray right? I heard that god does not answer my Prayers because I do not pray the right way... what is the right way?


Vijay Kumar:
Before praying we need to understand the meaning of the word Prayer. What does praying mean in every Religion... are Prayers different for different Religions. Is that for one a Prayer has one meaning and different for the other?

Praying to God Almighty carries equal meaning for all. God never differentiates! In praying we ask of God for something. Even if we do not seek material benefits for self we may ask for the welfare of others. We may not ask God something for us but for the benefit of others. Still, it is necessary that our Prayers get answered in order to help one.

Again, seems fairly straightforward if a bit like an ATM or something that the Bible/Koran seems to promise.

Yet none of them have healed any amputee.

Seems like whoever the creator is or is not, amputees are given the short shrift.

Cancer patients sometimes get their prayers answered, same with other diseases.

Why not with amputees?

[mingus]

why do you care about something so much that doesn't exist?

[RandomGuy]

until you can prove there's no God, i'll stick to my personal belief that he exists. good luck.

I'm not trying exactly to prove one way or the other.

I would just like to know why God is insane/evil/cruel.

(edit)

I have come to believe God doesn't really exist, I just want someone to try explaining the ed up going on in the world.

[Wild Cobra]

Sure, I guess.

I see...

The power of delusional faith, or is it misinterpretation to English, in the King James version, commissioned by a King to be used by a king to control the masses?
