Why wont God heal amputees?

If you wish to understand about amputees, seek God. I’ve answered your question in a variety of ways. It is you who lack understanding.

No, your answers reveal your lack of understanding. I humbly ask you to try again.

As I already explained (and indicated), I do understand. I’ve been asking for your understanding of the answers already provided. If you think I’m still not getting you, try explaining again. I doubt it will clarify what is already clear to me, but I am humbly willing to try.

Pretty straightforward OP. Do you believe in those miracles? Some? Any? All? Which ones and why or why not?

Miracles? no.

supernatural mumbo jumbo.

I’d believe in the cottingley fairies that was a 100 years ago before I’d believe anything in the a 2000 year old book.

The fact that you provided mundane events as part of your argument displays your lack of understanding of the import of using amputees.

I’d rather you think about why I singled out amputees as an example of what would be an example of a divine healing.why is that different than cancer?

Sigh. Asked and answered. Several times. Why I think YOU singled it out? Because you are not about understanding God, preferring to design a game of “Gotcha”. Good game. You win. Now, I’m returning to knowing God, not some straw man you are imagining Christians are imagining.

All you did was declare it a strawman.

You neither said why you did that nor did you address your incorrect statement that “nots” are not questions one asks in order to arrive at knowledge and insight.

Let’s review the question:

You subscribe to a worldview where God has healed people. Where God continues to hea people.
Why doesn’t he heal amputees?

Can you briefly summarize your answer again or provide a post # to where you provided a direct answer?

Keep in mind I am not proposing we test God. I’m just asking, knowing #1, why do we not see #2.

Such an arrogant post

Why would he need to? Didn’t he create everything? Why would God create something that is incurable? Unless of course, he’s malevolent and intended it not to be curable. More of that “pure love”, right?

Arrogance and ignorance often go hand-in-hand.

Cancer is thought to be critical for evolutionary creation and development. Is God creating an incurable disease or is He still creating living beings?

And therefore, naturally God is powerless to do anything about how it makes humans sick and die.

The naturalistic assumption of evolutionary biology does not require a creator. So a creator is now an extraneous variable. Why should this variable be considered?

When it comes to science alone, it shouldn’t.

We arent talking about science alone. Care to answer @JayJay question?

If life doesn’t need intelligence to begin…why posit an intelligent creator?
