"Why won't God heal amputees?"

Just my opinion as a healthcare provider and Christian, AG. What sensible humans regard as indifference is in fact God's mercy and grace.

Surely nothing is impossible for god. I think that's in some book of god quotes. We seem to be losing track of the point here. The reason why this question is asked is because religious people attribute their health and recovering from illness as being from god. But the only illnesses god seems to cure are the ones that we can't measure or prove otherwise, the ones that have a chance of the body curing on its own or the ones actually cured by medicine. God's miracles are always things that can't be proven as actual miracles or things that can happen easily without divine intervention. You can see how non-believers would find that suspicious. Regrowing limbs is an example of something that would truly be miraculous. I see it as not so much to challenge the idea and get an explanation, but to show you don't really believe it yourself.
You know god won't heal amputees. You know that the answer is "sometimes" no. It's always no.
An easy argument would be that god simply doesn't cure illnesses at all. Unfortunately people want to have their cake and it eat it.
Not as sad as Dumbledore or even Sirius.
Many more souls don't than do but this is normal spiritual developement. Seven repeats of the fleshy state, here in hell, is considered quick and lucky spiritual rebirth. The heal bruises the head of the animal form directly beneath it. This is climbing the ladder of life hifger and higher and higher till the gate opens and the lucky aspirant can remove the material coat of many colours. Full emersion in beer is my favouite baptismal ritual, this provides the slightly altered state of mind necessary to see through the veil. It's not always accurate seeing though, not until the acolyte is fully versed in the effects of the stimulant may he or she benefit from the spiritual occasion. Mine is a lonely ministry and so is everyone elses my advantage is that I know the group gropeing for God is futile. Futile is too harsh, certainly the fellow congregant can provide a shoulder in the early stages but eventually the aspirant must jump into the cold void by his or herself trusting completely in thier personal accumulated understanding of the logic of the one.

You're right. The quest can only be personal but gathering to swap war stories makes the quest easier and easier for those who follow IF they choose to embrace what was plopped in their laps.
The original post: why God doesn't heal the amputated
God created the World: this life in the material World a temporary one: and made the Next Life a permanent life.
The life in the World is short and very short in comparison to the Next Life. In the life of the World man may suffer evil, distress, disease, poverty, accidents ...etc.
If man has any defect in this material life, he will be intact in the Next ethereal life.
Quran 21: 35
{35. Every soul shall taste [of the pain] of death; and We try you [once] with evil and [another time with] good, so as to check you c, then to Us you shall be returned [following your death d.]
.................................................
c To see will you be patient in distress, and be grateful in the prosperity, or will you blaspheme and be ungrateful?
d And We will then reward you according to your work: the grateful for his gratitude, and the ungrateful for his non gratitude and blasphemy.
Moreover, who said God does not answer the prayer; God answers the prayer, but most people do not show gratitude.
The religion in its essence is the prayer from God and asking and supplicating Him, and He answers the prayer, I cannot deny that God answered and still answering much many of my requests and prayers, although not all of my praying and asking and supplicating: it could be delayed to another time if He pleases.
The answering of prayer is not a must that God is obliged to give; no it is as He likes and as He wills; we only supplicates Him in every situation.
So man may ask God whatever he wants, and there are conditions to make such answer more probable and more near to be answered.
This is a translation of a prayer which I do respect:
((God! You Who gives to the one who asks of You;
You give to the one who have not asked of you; You give to the one who does not ask of You and who does not know You; so give me according to my prayer from You all the blessings of the life of the World and the Next Life; it is not decreased whatever You give out of Your generosity and kindness. And praise and thanks be to God the Lord of nations.))
And all of you; you asked of Him, and He gave to you, and you deny.
He gives to you, and you are ungrateful and deny His grace and His kindness, and if you are in distress, danger and necessity, then you will know your Lord.

T-Bones, Are you a patient person? Can you wait about 60 -75 years. Then you will have all the evidence you need.
