"Why wont God heal amputees ?"
God Who can speak a universe into existence, Who can raise the dead, can heal a limb. Jesus caused people born lame to walk, instantly healed the ear of the servant Peter cut off with a sword. The Apostles, conveying further inspired teachings from the Lord, had the ability to heal in such ways. But these gifts went away, as no further Apostles existed, nor any new Scripture being given. This is how we know that those insisting healing gifts exist today - as where is the proof? If anyone had such a GIFT, today, they would be world famous, with desperately sick people following them wherever they might go. But as for God Himself, He still heals, and obviously still has the ability to - even though such immediate miracles appear to be be far more rare, or done over a period of time, or are not so immediately obvious, as in the regrowing of a limb, etc. The miracles of Christ and His Apostles had such abilities, during a very specific time, to draw attention to the spiritual points inherent in their teachings.

I didn't approve the post because it looks like something I wrote - I just couldn't find it. So, I emailed and asked him why he copied my post. No answer. Is he a bot?I agree with your post. But I have one question.

He copied your post? I didn’t even notice that. We seem to be getting more of this lately. The intelligent lady from New Zealand thinks this that a bot does this.Philip wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 5:25 pmI didn't approve the post because it looks like something I wrote - I just couldn't find it.
