Maybe that's what Jesus used on the people that he healed
- cheema33 4mo ago> Maybe that's what Jesus used on the people that he healed I think this is what all healers used. They were all way ahead of their time and clearly misunderstood.
- krapp 4mo agoJesus, if he existed, didn't actually heal anyone or perform any miracles. That's mythology, not reality.
- buddhistdude 4mo agoHow do you know?
- krapp 4mo agoBecause I'm a grownup who knows the difference between reality and make-believe.
- buddhistdude 4mo agoI take from this that you don't, otherwise you would explain it
- krapp 4mo agoYou're the one who believes magic is real, it's up to you to explain it. Extraordinary claims and such.
- halfcat 4mo agoThis is ironic. They didn’t say they believe. You offered your belief that you know something that happened long ago (extraordinary claim), and they are naturally curious how you could know that. If you’re a time traveler or whatever we’d be quite interested to hear more.

- kennyadam 4mo agoI think to claim that 2000 years ago there was one person who performed miracles and/or healed people that nobody else could, with no actual evidence it was done and nobody else has been able to do it since, you need a better response to someone questioning it than “oh were you there? prove it didn’t happen.”
- buddhistdude 4mo agoNo I don't because I'm not claiming that I know that it happened
- malfist 4mo agoWhat can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. There was no Jesus who performed miracles of healing
- LooseMarmoset 4mo agoeven the Jews of the time that did not believe or follow Jesus wrote that he performed signs. They claimed it was sorcery. in Folio 43a of Tractate Sanhedrin of the Babylonian Talmud as follows: ‘It is taught: On the eve of Passover they hung Yeshu and the crier went forth for forty days beforehand declaring that "[Yeshu] is going to be stoned for practicing witchcraft, for enticing and leading Israel astray.”’ The relevant portions of the Bible record that the Jews of the Sanhedrin acknowledged the signs and miracles but said it was by the power of Satan that he did these things.

- petesergeant 4mo agoIn the whole Christian tradition, God/Jesus generally does not go for organ or limb regeneration. Two counter examples are a healed ear in Luke (but this may well have been resumption of hearing? details are a little light), and then a single Spanish example in the 1600s. For His own mysterious reasons, He simply doesn’t go in for that stuff, however much intercessionary prayer ends up in His inbox.
- malfist 4mo agoWhy does god hate amputees?
- gaiagraphia 4mo agoDifficult to pray without 2 hands.
- IAmBroom 3mo agoBuddhist golf clap to you, with one hand.
- LooseMarmoset 4mo agonot an amputee, but he did heal a man with a withered or malformed hand in Matthew 12. he also healed plenty of cripples, so I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that some or many of them were missing limbs.
