Why God Won't Heal Amputees?

 

Here's a more important question for the atheist community:

If it can be proven that he does, will you believe in Him?

Or will you attribute it to an evolutionary process? Because if one looks, there is some available data of supernatural healing, including organ regeneration. And since MindNuke.com was published in 2007, we found two separate (unverified) reports of creation-type healings. These were two eyewitness accounts. One of prayer "growing back eyeballs" and the other "a hand out of a dead stump." Both were on gospel missions to remote locations. Locations where people had little to no access to medical care.

In the vast majority of cases, it is up to humanity to rescue ourselves - with what God provided in advance. God reserves the right to overrule. Evidently, he does so more often in distant rural places where:

  • There is strong conviction that he can do anything according with his purpose.

  • Where society is unable to help in any other significant ways.

Losing a limb can lead to instant death, and amputees can experience emotional suffering and other complications. If one prays for an amputees limb to grow back, and instead, the will to carry on comes upon him, does it count? Do not disqualify God from healing in ways - other than - body part creation.

The power to regenerate limbs without divine intervention is available to some creatures, like: Salamanders. We could ask, "Why won't God (or natural selection), make people breathe underwater?" It would certainly spare a lot of suffering. Another interesting piece of information came forward. A breakthrough in human limb regeneration, based on the study of Salamander DNA. Apparently, human beings do have most of the code necessary for limb regeneration.

A more relevant question for evolutionists is this:

Why doesn't evolution grow back more species limbs?

If a few archetypes "evolved it", why not most? It's quite the evolutionary style power, and to an extent, our body does regenerate continuously. Here is a statement on which we can mostly agree: God will not create at the whim of humanity, and, neither will evolution. God rested from creating on Earth. Miraculous interventions are "acts of grace", God can not be obligated into performing them. It's essential they conform to his objectives. Adding to that, all forms of healing are only temporary in this age. Some anti-theist point out, that faith is promised to provide "the ability to move mountains", but our response is only as needed:

"...You have not, because ye ask not. You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss..."

Dilemma provoked by the "why won't God heal amputees" question is a symptom of the paradise mindset. You are perhaps a citizen of whatever nation you were born, but you are not automatically entitled to the priceless heirlooms of the president. Undeceive yourself, God is not your cosmic Santa Clause. Neither will he provide you with three wishes. Human beings are not "entitled" to any miracles. Let alone miracles of historic proportion.

The God of the Bible makes "everlasting promises" of permanent  physical changes. But, only after the present corruption runs its full course. Promises of a "New Creation" without evil, untouched by corruption. The fact that we anticipate God to heal/create, is itself a proof. From the Almighty alone do we expect earth shattering displays of power, on demand, or else utterly reject.

Basically, the "Why won't God heal amputees" question fails to observe the core truths and promises made by God in the first place. It tragically ignores the moral, spiritual, and physical accumulation of consequences.

And, Jesus Christ responded to the "Why won't God heal amputees" question 2000-years ago...

 

"If thy hand offend thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell." -Jesus Christ
