Forgive me if I come across as rude. I'd love to hear your answer to, "Why won't God heal amputees?"
I'm not trying to score points or anything. I'm genuinely curious about your answer. Despite our different beliefs, I'm glad we share so much common ground on the issue of vaccination.
- joshuahedlund 13y agoThat's a legitimate question, and I don't pretend to have an answer. I believe God has healed in numerous cases that defy explanation by placebo, misdiagnosis, or other means, but that tells me little about why he has not done so in others. I could come up with theological theories, but none, at least presently, that I would expect others to find satisfactory. It is also, I admit, not a question I have specifically spent much time considering or investigating, - - though I acknowledge its difficult implication.
- ggreer 13y agoFair enough. I used amputees in my example because they were the most obvious, but there are plenty of afflictions that prayer never cures: Down syndrome, spina bifida, cleft palate, Tay-Sachs, dwarfism, etc. I hope some day that you have a satisfying answer to this question.
