I guess you failed your test.
So Neo never really choose to take the red pill or the blue pill... it was all scripted?![]()
Tbh god is a pretty big asshole if he does stuff like cause people to lose arm(s)/leg(s) to test their faith.
He's also pretty stupid tbh. Healing an amputee and making his existence indisputable would be a much easier way to get people to believe.
You are seriously bored...
But you know I'll bite every now and then...
Two reasons I can think of (despite the fact that your question is flawed in the sense that GOD is more than capable of supernaturally restoring our bodies. There are a couple of accounts in the Bible where HE has restored 'amputees' (i.e. the ear of the guard that came to arrest Him) as well as cripples and leppers, to full corporal health etc... that you don't believe it, is another matter entirely - but we already knew that)...
Anyways, 1) GOD is more concerned about the destiny of our eternal spirit. That is what separates us from the animals. Our spirit was given to us in the image of GOD Himself... that part of us is immortal.
Once our imperfect physical bodies die... they decay and forever return to the earth...
Our glorified 'bodies' however, will live on forever... Any amount of physical suffering endured here on earth hence, is vastly dwarfed in the context of eternity (and infintessimally insignificant)...
Frankly and biblically speaking, our physical well-being is not GOD's top priority - despite our selfish wishes to the contrary.
2) GOD doesn't work to appease the mocking faithless. Even while HE may actually heal many among us, many still don't believe. So now you require even more proof? That's not how it works...
Call me delusional, hack away as usual, proceed with your regular sarcasm... whatever...
Peace out..!

Why did God stop doing all those cool parlor tricks?
He could do just one amputee healing, get it on YouTube and wham! Millions of new believers.
God needs a new media consultant. I can't even friend him on Facebook.

If creating everything that IS, the known universe, LIFE, isn't enough to impress you what makes you think a restored amputee would change your mind...? You'd just shrug it off as some unexplained science, call it a lie, question it to death... it wouldn't change a thing...
Fact is many here simply look for continual affirmation that their world view is the correct one...
You've already made up your mind on the GOD-question... nothing anyone says or does will change that... not even a restored amputee...
meh...
You keep being an asshole... don't come crying here when you lose a leg...
A restored amputee would pretty much do it for me.
God...is a word...a concept....something that humans made up for varying reasons....
Humans....or stupid humans to be precise...argue and kill each other over the word "GOD"...
and since no human being on the planet has ever truly seen this "GOD" with their own eyes and can prove it...they depend on other humans who "say" they know "GOD" as a means to describe ..."god"...
In humans minds an amputee needs "healing" because in YOUR mind...an amputee is "less than" other humans...
I would surmise that this "amputee" needs less "healing" than you do because you sound like an "asshole" to me....
I would suggest a better question would be ....
Is there any way that any amount of healing could ever "heal" the OP from being such a huge asshole?
When you put "asshole" in quotes, do you mean something else?
I do agree that our spirit is made in god's image. To be more technical, there is precisely one map from the empty set into the empty set: namely, the one with empty graph. Since god fails to exist, we can take god = empty set. Human spirit is then the image of god under this map; namely, the empty set.
technically speaking, an amputee does indeed have "less than" a non-amputee...
at least "asshole" can have a non-literal meaning. I'm more confused about amputee being in quotes.
You were born confused....shut the up....
Honestly, if god had the ability to heal amputees then why is he always asking for money? Doesn't he know how valuable this service would be to the general public and how much he could raise from it? Especially now that it couldn't be called a pre-existing condition.
Why haven't we evolved to regenerate limbs? Seems like that would be an evolutionary advantage.
We're only humans... what's his excuse?
Why didn't God make you an alpha male?
Well he did invent a scrotum so that ChumpDumper's chin won't get cold.
It would seem that there would have to be a recognized deficiency related to the environment. So I have to ask DarrinS, What percentage of "amputees" 10,000 years ago survived long enough to reproduce. Of that percentage, what percentage of their offspring also became amputees, then reproduced. Of that group what percentage of THEIR offspring became amputees, then reproduced, and so on until today.
Is that in your scriptures? Did God give you that insult to use when you are feeling low?
I'm not a religious person, but it appears that you cast the first stone. I can always count on you to make a random, snarky reply to ANYTHING I post.
Feel free to raise your game.
