Maybe God's powers have limits. Maybe hardships in life are tests we don't understand. Spend a little time, and I'm sure you can think of other reasons.
until you can prove there's no flying spaghetti monster, I'll stick to my personal beliefs that one exists. Good luck.

Sociopaths often have abusive parents tbh.
Have you considered that maybe there is also someone praying that the amputee does not grow his limb back?
Beats me, as it is not my book in either event. I can only go by what the faithful tell me.
Dude created the universe, an event that took more energy than we can wrap our primitive little brains around.
If all the books about God(s) are to be believed, surely a finger is small potatoes.
Possibly, I guess. That would mean there would have to be one such person for each person praying for healing.
Seems unlikely to me.
I am going to say because making up never healed a physical injury like a missing limb. Cannot get something from nothing.
More likely a large group of people praying that no amputees grow their limbs back. So you have one amputee praying for a new limb more than offset by a group praying that amputees, collectively and individually, will not re grow limbs.
stupid theory. you wouldn't be starting with nothing. you'd be starting with the part of the body left after the amputation.
More likely unicorns will come flying out from between my buttocks humming Beethoven's Ode to Joy whilst pooping ice cream. I guess it is possible, but don't see it as meeting a bare common sense test.
Unless of course you know of some such active group?
In any event, it would take similar groups to pray to God for every kind of collective evil on the planet. I don't see that as possible at all.
A bit. Gotta get back to work. Time's up.
I don't know. People be crazy.
The large group of people praying that no amputees are healed will have their prayers diluted across the entire population of amputees, whereas a person and his family/friends will be praying specifically for that person.
what if it was dissolved in acid first? this discussion is asinine.
Why doesn't the dollar fairy bring me my ing billions is what i want to know.
you have no clue what you are talking about
When I was a child, I prayed that the spurs would win the championship in each respective year..... Now I am an atheist.

Why can't God borrow magic power supply from the Chinese? Does he has an actually working debt-ceiling?
Logic and religion clearly don't go hand in hand.
Not that this has anything to do with politics, but I'll bite. God's path for each of us is different, but we all go through tests of character and tests of faith at one point or another. Some give up on themselves and God, while others persevere and grow through these tests.
In other words, if you're an amputee it's your pre-ordained path and your choice is to suc b to it or embrace it and persevere. By the way, you can call me delusional, but I do believe that God has the power to heal the sick, bring the dead back to life and even give an amputee their appendage back. His choice to perform a miracle or not is based on what He has pre-determined for you.
This is honestly a weak question if you're bringing in the faith argument though. I would've gone with...why does God allow innocent young boys and girls to suffer through physical or sexual abuse and do nothing?
coming up with bull like "tests of character" to make an excuse for when god s someone over
