Why Won't God Heal Amputees?

A common objection against God's power and love.

[gueyuda]

He did, when Peter cut the ear of Malchus to prevent the arrest of Jesus. Jesus healed that servant Malchus and his ear was cured.

*gives impossible question that nobody heard about*

- Thats an exellent question. In fact there is a book called *insert name here*.

I trust in my heart and I believe with all my strength that only grace is sufficient for me.
If God didn’t heal me even if I was an amputee i wouldn’t care as long as my spirit is right with him.
For the tribulations of this life are not even worthy to compare with the glories which are to come.

I had a disability for 10 years and was always rejected for disability and became homeless because if I even tried to work it was far too dangerous with my disability that I always had to be let go and no one would help and I would fall out of beds at a homeless shelter which they were worried they could get sued if I get injured, so no one could help and my disability was keeping me stuck homeless because I can't make money, but God answered my prayer and healed me so that I could work, have a spouse and provide for my family. God still does heal! I've prayed for many other healings for myself and others, but He's only chosen to do a miracle to heal only one part of me so far.

I'm still very grateful to Him for that and especially for what Jesus has done for us. Our injuries and disabilities and illnesses are all temporary, but our life with Jesus is forever if we know Him and He's saved us.

Miracles happen all the time! Waking up a new day is a miracle because life isn't promised it's a gift from God himself! Me being clean from Heroin for over a year is absolutely miracle! Because i didn't do it on my own, it's The Holy Spirit giving me the strength to stay clean.

Recently my gran had a stroke which effected her ability to speak, I started praying, saying Lord work a miracle in this situation, my gran two weeks later had another stroke and a heart attack, still I prayed that she be completely healed, before my gran passed she had a long conversation with my mom, there were many words between the two and there was much laughter.

My gran shouldn't of been able to speak, her last words to my mom were love you love you love you.

My gran was raised a Roman Catholic but she gave her life to the Lord some years back after a car accident, since then slowly she had a change of heart and mind, despite their being some traditions lingering she seemed to have renounced the catholic doctrine.

My gran and I used to have the worst relationship you could think of, but when I gave my life to Jesus that started to change, I'm glad to say that before she passed we were on the best of terms.

God never promises to give us the things that we want, just all that we need and all the desires that are in line with his own.

I believe that miracle was for my mom.

God is not a genie.

The answer should be...”I don’t know why. I cannot speak for God.”

Frank is an apologetic MONSTER!!! ( and I mean that in the good way)

Your life is one big test. And every now and then the test can get real tough to see if you have what it takes to live in peace in God's Kingdom. My dad lost his arm...he didn't piss & moan about it. He fixed cars put a new roof on our camp went water skiing. Life has it's struggles that is a fact for everyone. Question is can you survive those struggles without bitterness?

[TadTheTinker]

We don't see these kinds of miracles because we don't have the mustard seed of faith sufficient for them to happen.

[laurent]

I attest he saved from a 26 years long slavery of cigarettes. On my first long and desperate prayer. No secondary effects as usual. And overnight. So believe me when i say it's a miracle and He did not stop there !

[iliaelija]

God can heal amputees today as well!
In Church there was a person with a shorter leg and God healed him. (It grew longer)
Also a missionary went to India and prayed over a baby that had no eyes and after prayer the eyes grew on, many people came from that Village and believed the gospel

[adrianbed]

As a Christian, I have to be honest with my self. I can't figure out why God distinguishes between possible healings and impossible ones. Therefore, I think the best answer to this question is that God isn't healing anyone. Every miraculous healing claim is just another example of someone recovering naturally. Therefore, some people think they're being healed, while amputees get no result.

[Booboobear-eoes]

So his answer is basically that God doesn't heal anymore because we don't need any confirmation or new revelation. But wouldn't this contradict John 14:13-14 that says if we ask anything in Jesus' name, he will do it?

[lawrenceeason]

The answer is because you can't fake amputee healings

[hambam]

i have heard of all kinds of miricles through out my life as a follower of Jesus and i will share one here while doing ministry work at a local university i was sharing Christ with a polite student who was and atheist after sharing with him he told me a story that his roommate who was a christian had a dream that he shared with him in which he told him that in the dream God was going to send someone to him to tell him about Christ wearing a jacket with makinaw island written on it, i was stunned because i was you guessed it wearing a sweet jacket with makinaw island written on it, you dont think God was trying to get this young mans attention and this is just one story God bless all

[JuanPerez-hulb]

I have seen in my life miracles: hand growing that had no hand. A whole arm growing. Legs growing. People in wheelchair leaving walking. Blind able see. Mute able to speak. The deaf healed and able to hear again. God is still in miracle business.

[yitzharos]

Yeshua said
Those that come after Him will perform and do even greater miracles.

[pyro]

The simple fact we live and breathe and have strength is a gift from GOD. Some people will use that very same breath and deny GOD till the day they die.
