I really want an answer to this. You guys think that God can do anything. You pray for him to heal your sick, and if they get better, you claim that it was a miracle....or at a minimum thank him for healing. (Of course ignoring the fact that you went to the Doctor for actual help)
Well, wny has God never made an amputees leg or arm grow back? Remember, God can do anything!!!! You cliam god cures cancer, heals the sick. Well, why does he not grow an amputees arm or leg back?
Either God can't do it or he is unwilling to. My question stands.....Why does God hate amputees.?? Oh...that's right...he works in mysterious ways.
I have to admit, God has the best press agent in the history of mankind. Something good happens......"Look at God's grace...isn't he wonderful." Something bad happens...."Well, God works in mysterious ways." What a crock. (But please...continue to tithe....God needs your money.)

I really would like a response to this question. Again, theists claim God is preforming medical miracles every day. Why is god unable or unwilling to grow an amputees limb back? If you claim that he is unwilling to do this, I would also like by god singels out amputees and refuses to grow a limb back.
This may sound absurd...however, i do not think this is any more absurd than your sky daddy curing little Billy's cold or grandma's cancer.

I am talking about this because there are people on this site that seem to believe that thier god (and ONLY their god) is capable of doing many many things. We have heard how he created the earth, how he has "shown" himself through his wonderful miracles. I am asking because if this is the case, I would like to know why their God holds amputees with such disdain.
This is a truly legitimate question that needs to be answered by the theists who believe that god has miraculous healing powers.

Okay. Still waiting for an answer here. Actually, I will even accept a really bad answer. Just would like the creationist response to this question.
Again, allow me to state one more time...I AM NOT LETTING THIS GO.

God does not hate amputees. Suffering such as this is part of the curse that God put on mankind after they sinned.  
 
http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2009/01/30/feedback-god-heal-amputees
 
"You pray for him to heal your sick, and if they get better, you claim that it was a miracle....or at a minimum thank him for healing. (Of course ignoring the fact that you went to the Doctor for actual help)"
 
God can, and does, heal people, but that does not mean that He physically heals every single unhealthy person or that doctors cannot heal people also. We thank God when we get well, in case God did have a part in it.

So, basically, you're saying that God should be given credit when people recover from an illness - but God shouldn't be blamed when people don't recover.
 
And that doesn't strike you as any sort of contradiction?

Rolf/Wintergreen.,
This does NOT answer the question posed before you. You claim that god heals many people every day. All sorts of miracles every day. Why do these poor amputees not diserve his grace?? Why has god singled them out for special punishment?

Does he find them repulsive and not worthy of grace?
Does he find them useless and not worthy of one of his many miracles?

Again I will ask, why has God singled out this particular class of person for such treatment when he can clearly heal anyone he wants to.

Simply stated..NO ANSWER HAS BEEN PROVIDED. I WILL KEEP BUMPING THIS TO THE TOP UNTIL I GET A REASON.

"This does NOT answer the question posed before you."
 
I answered the direct question "why does God hate amputees" with a link. I was just clearing up some misunderstandings in the rest of what I said.
 
Did you even follow the link?
 
Suffering such as an amputated limb is part of the curse. If God does not want to relieve this part of the curse, He does not have to.
 
From the site:
 
"it may be that there was no biblical Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic word for “amputee”2; it is possible that some passages referring to individuals as “lame” or “crippled” (Matthew 15:3021:14John 5:2–9a) are actually referring to those who had lost limbs. Besides, how is healing a totally useless limb any less miraculous than restoring an amputated limb? Second, because of the nature of leprosy, the healings of lepers in the Bible actually does imply the restoration of some body parts, such as fingers."

""Besides, how is healing a totally useless limb any less miraculous than restoring an amputated limb? ""

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

what moron wrote this?

how about, THE REGROWTH OF LOTS AND LOTS OF LOST TISSUE in a SPCIFIC arrangement, as appose to the regrowth of muscle or bone tissue to restore a section of function to a limb?

"Suffering such as an amputated limb is part of the curse. If God does not want to relieve this part of the curse, He does not have to.""

so he''l cure cancer, but he won't grow back an arm or leg?

Rolf, i want to thank you for pointing out your rediculous arguments.
I did follow your link. The link did not answer the question of why amputees do not recieve god's miracles like everyone else. All it did was say that lame or crippled may be referring to an amputee. (although i assume god, in his eternal wisdom would know that lame and crippled does not mean a person who is MISSING a limb. Who knows, maybe god isn't that good with languages. Oh yeah..is this the part where you bring up that the bible may have been misinterpreted? or will that come later in your argument)

So you are saying that in the bible, god MAY have cured an amputee in biblical times? Why did he change his mind?
Did amputees displease him in some way since biblical times?
Can these poor people get back into god's good graces.?
I know one particular christian who has lost a leg. He is a wonderful follower of jusus. Does god want him to do something more to have god grow his leg back?

Okay, they got their leg amputated because of man's sin? Gocha. (many have had more to do with the drunk driver than hit them but...whatever)
Now, you have a god that is curing everthing from aids to cancer to the common cold. He is moving hurricanes like dixie cups and creating earthquakes. The dude can do anything.
Now, the question stands, if god can do this why will he not grow an amputees leg back. There are simply 2 options as i see it
1) he can't do it
2) he refuses to.

Come on...say it PLEASE.....
Give you a hint some hints
1) Best excuse when theists don't know something
2) Only excuse when it comes right down to it
Need another hint......."GWIMW" Come on..at least have the common curtousy to type it out for me. PLEASE

it doesn't make sense at all tbh. This is the same with lightning, when no one knew how it worked they contributed it to god and gods anger or something. When it was found out it wasn't god no one contributed it to him. Spontaneus healing due to viral infections removing cancer is something we've observed and not something god did.

You might say "i know he heals", well then you're an ignorant dumb fuck who believe in things purely by emotion and requires no evidence to support the claim what so ever.

This is just an example:

Come on Creationists...the answer here is SOOOOOO easy. Again, I would like to know why god will not or cannot grow an amputees leg back. Why are they different from every other human that supposedly receives god's wonderful grace?

Come on....just say it...I promise i will not make too much fun.

I agree; however, just because lightning and healing are natural phenomenon does not mean that the supernatural God can not heal or create lightning when conditions make it naturally impossible while the need arises.

"You might say "i know he heals", well then you're an ignorant dumb fuck who believe in things purely by emotion and requires no evidence to support the claim what so ever."
 
Just because other things besides God can physically heal people does not mean that God can't heal also.
 
Ask yourself this: What IF an amputee was healed? what would that lead to?

¨Ask yourself this: What IF an amputee was healed? what would that lead to?¨
 
well, something.
 
that is if it wasn´t naturally explainable
(btw, we are gettign close to regrowing limbs ourselves, we just need to get a crack at how we can reprogram cells to stemcells, and then make make sure to propperly guide the growth. no god needed there)
 
but that was irrelivent to the question you didn´t answer.
 
why doesn´t god heal amputees?
why hasn´t there been a single confirmed case of a limb growing back on it´s own when no natural neams existed.

"I agree; however, just because lightning and healing are natural phenomenon does not mean that the supernatural God can not heal or create lightning when conditions make it naturally impossible while the need arises."

You are correct. A supernatural god could be healing and creating lightning too. A giant pixie named Helen, could be healing and creating lightning too. We could all be caught in the matrix and none of these things is actually happening. However, there is no evidence that any of those things are happening.

"Ask yourself this: What IF an amputee was healed? what would that lead to?"

I see where you are going. Amputee healed, proof of god, everyone believes. There are millions of things god could to to prove himself. Show up in the sky and talk to us directly. Make it rain diamonds. A tornado that builds a bridge. Any of those things. He doesn't do them. But it is claimed he heals the sick and infirmed. My question remains the same. God is supposed to do all sorts of miraculous things to show us his grace and mercy. It is claimed that he can make mountains move with earthquakes that he causes, hurricanes that he moves, curing sickness. Why has god chosen amputees to NOT heal.
Just say it. PLEASE

Well, apparently none of the creationists want to consider that their God just does not like amputees.

Why does god hate them. I know one very nice guy who is very christian and would really like his leg back. Maybe if you guys prayed harder god would grow his leg back. That has to be the answer. Group prayer. Ronnie, Anthony, Rolf...can you guys pray for this to happen. Thanks.
I feel better now knowing he is gonna get his leg back. Now, is god gonna grow it back slowly...or will it just be...POOF...leg back?

I really want an answer to this.
 
I wouldn't hold my breath - the creationists here appear to be utterly incapable of actually defending their claims.
 
Well, wny has God never made an amputees leg or arm grow back? Remember, God can do anything!!!!
 
Apparently God has the odd limitation that he can only perform miracles that can't be verified.
 
Either God can't do it or he is unwilling to.
 
Which, to my mind, completely nullifies the question of his existence. To borrow a quote, "A God who would allow the Holocaust isn't an active moral agent, and the question of His existence becomes moot."

Uh, an answer to *what*? There wasn't a single question mark in my previous post - meaning (and try to follow along) there were no questions.
 
U just wanna waste peoples time to keep them from doing God's will.
 
Sorry, ronnie, but a quick glance at the "Good Reason To Not Debate Evolutionists Online" thread shows that you're more than capable of wasting your own time.
 
And if you think that I'm only here to waste your time, yet you keep coming back, that does you make you very smart now does it?

God allows people to do evil things (because He gave us free will), and then allows them time to repent of those things. After the person has died and has not repented, then He punishes them in hell.

So, for all practical intents and purposes, the existence of God is meaningless. Regardless of whether he allowed the holocaust, or whether he simply doesn't exist, the end result is exactly the same.

Judging by his ineptitude with the forum software, it will probably be another week or two before he manages to find some non-sequitur to copy-paste from some eminently credible source... you know, like conservapedia, creationwiki, the Discovery Institute site, or Fox News blog posts.
