What's wrong with miracles occurring today in modern time? It be nice to see a miracle occur especially if you live in the 3rd world countries. Since science can only do so much miracles are needed. The Atheistic mindset, morality is subjective and evolution (survival of the fittest mentality) is fundamental, has abandoned the impoverished 3rd world nations. Miracles is what is needed whether it be inside a lab or inside an abandoned impoverished tent.
@@jootai So anything that allegedly happened hundreds or thousands of years ago is implausible? Guess that rules the atheists’ theory of evolution and origin of mankind.
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.
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.
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.
Yes I'm not gonna lie I want to argue with God because if my teeth were to be healed then I wouldn't have to worry much about pain and take care of my body as I should have at first. Sigh it's annoying not being capable of using all of it. But we'll all I need is a job I guess! And a wife of course to reproduce.

Christianity is much like the FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER. All factions of the Christian Industry that ( identify as..) A Christian ✝ such Watchtower Inc., DBA Mormons, Bapticult Central, Catholic enterprises, Pentecostal LLC, and many more represent the arteries and veins of the biggest 👹 monster the planet has ever known "Christianity".
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.
Catholics are christians too... so wtf. I mean as of "the joint declaration of justification" they believe in salvation through grace alone and apart from works so why wouldn't be saved? There are minor dogmatic differences but God can't possibly care for those so much he would damn someone.
Adam Adamowicz Catholic doctrine goes against the word of God. If a catholic calls a man of their church father then they disobey Christ’s commands to call no man your father for there is one Father. If a Catholic preaches to pray to statues such as Mary and holds her to be worthy and so clean as to claim she has remained a virgin after Christ, then this goes against the word of God. I’ve heard a Catholic preach about a place where people can go to after death where they get to work and pay off their debt and make it into heaven. It was referred to as purgatory. This is false doctrine and this all adds to the word of God. It is recorded in the last chapter of the Bible, in Revelation, that anyone who adds to this book, the Lord will add all the plagues to them that are in the book! Woe to them who follow the commands of Catholic doctrine! A Christian follows Christ! None of those things commanded in Catholicism is commanded in the Bible. I’ve heard many stories from friends about Catholic school and they are no longer believers because of their strict ridiculous rituals. Forcing kids to pray for long periods and putting a lot of strain on the children! Woe to he who offends the little ones who believe in me for it would be better if a millstone was tied about their neck and they were casted into the sea! There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
@@goodvibezinChrist preaching this hard against the Catholic Church is like cutting off the branch you're sitting on. Who do you think you received the word from?
@@chickenbonelives always see Catholics making out that they wrote the word of God or somehow it's because of them that everyone else had God's word. It's not true, God is the Lord of all and his word was for every single human being. Catholics did not invent the New Testament, they were a product of it. Still, much love.
That's honestly a better answer than the Christian TH-camrs that try to answer it. None of them actually understand the question. They answer it like it's the "problem of evil argument".
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?
@Bubble Buster Don't you know how the monarchical system works? God's kingdom is wherever His will is being done; wherever He is is accepted as King. The Garden of Eden was united with Heaven since the will of God was being followed in the Garden. Every household today where the will of God is followed is part of the kingdom of God. Soon, the fulfillment of God's kingdom will be the New Jerusalem established on earth.
If that is your answer then its a silly answer! God knows everything, right? Then why does he need to test you? He already knows the outcome of the test. God has a plan for everyone, right? He is all-powerful, right? So no one can destroy his plan. God's test for you was set up by god and the outcome of that test was decided by god as part of his plan that you cannot change, because you are not as powerful as a god. So again: Why does he need to test you? God is all-merciful, right? Then why would he test you in such a merciless way to find the outcome of a test that he already knows and he already planned before you were even born?? Yeah your answer is a bloody silly one!!!!
@@GariSullivan Is it not through tests people grow to be who they are? Aren’t tests necessary for growth? I believe that God’s tests are for the sake of the people. If the world had no tests, then wouldn’t the world basically be without trouble? Without stress and pain? Without struggle? Asking for such is basically asking for a whole new world. That’s like asking the world to be like heaven. Tests are necessary. Perhaps it’s the way God tests people that’s bothering you. People are all different. The tests are all different.
@@leahcimmmm What is the point of a test when God has already mapped out your response and success or otherwise in your test? Even if you, personally, don't know your test outcome, god does. Remember, your life is mapped out for your by God. Remember, he has a plan for you. Part of that plan will be the pass or failure of that test - A decision made even before you were born. How you respond to a god's test has already been decided. It's not your choice how you respond. Your response is all part of god's plan and you are not powerful enough to alter god's plan. You religious people NEVER think through your beliefs to their logical conclusion.
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?
He said that some people believe this, not that he believes this. The verse you mentioned only applies if it is Gods will, so only if God decides to do it. I think this is mentioned in a different place in the bible. We could also consider that maybe there is a translation issue here and he didn't actually mean ANYTHING we ask for. Jesus may have also been referring to asking for certain types or things that have certain criteria and he might have meant if you ask while he is on the earth walking around and performing miracles. I think it is most likely that he meant that it will be done if it is in Gods will though.
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
@Elija btw i later stumbled upon a video where a magician shows the secret behind the “shorter leg miracle” trick. That video is on TH-cam but I cant remember the name right now. But basically the trick works by slowly pulling out the shoe on the shorter leg until it’s even with the shoe other leg, thus creating the illusion that the leg grew
I understand, this wasn’t done in a concert room or anything. Someone that truly had their leg grow out with no shoe on. Sometimes there is no explanation for an event, that’s called a miracle. God is truly alive and still doing Miracles. If we seek God He will also reveal Himself to us!
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 !
Paradise Lord Ryū the time has not yet come for the imparting of the masses. For what Paul was told to write has yet to pass; for young men and old will have dreams and visions. Or what John was given to write in the most prophetic book of Revelation.
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.
You’re half way there, go all the way. Wake up, All religions are the projection of fear of the mind from death , illness, loneliness, etc. Smarter ones use it to control the masses for greed of money fame and power
Don’t listen to this guy^ he’s trying to weaken your faith. Using a weak and pitiful arguing against God by using actions human beings have done. How does that work? Anyways, Maybe it’s not of God’s will to do so. Living your life here on earth with one arm and going to heaven for eternity is better than living life here on earth with both arms then burning in hell for eternity. Frank just explained that God doesn’t need to perform such big miracles anymore. Plus, we need to pray to God for HIS will to be done and have faith in that. Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs. Yet he’s a Christian man who believes in God and he believes in God’s plan before his own. God and impossible aren’t compatible, understand that fact. Plus the Bible shows us that people get their wishes granted (if it’s of His will) when they have faith and obey the commandments. Don’t put all your faith on someone growing another arm before your eyes. Think about what God has planned for that person. The only thing we’ll be missing from our bodies in heaven is a sinful nature.
@@Darqstorms You're not understanding the argument. The "God wont heal amputees" argument has nothing to do with lack of faith or Him being cruel to amputees. It's about what the world would look like if God performed miracles after listening to prayers. The argument points out that if God is real and performs supernatural miracles, then you should expect a world where you see amputees healing along with other mundane healings. Since God isn't bound by the laws of physics, He can heal what he wants. But if God isn't real, we should expect to see a world where only physically possible recoveries occur and the impossible ones dont, since there is no god to intervene. And that's the world we live in. Therefore, it's more logical to believe that God doesnt heal anyone. Unless you believe in a god that purposely heals people in a pattern to make us think he doesn't exist. But I dont like that.
@@adrianbed6984 okay part of the issue I see here is that you expect God to do what you want Him to as if He isn’t a perfect being not capable of making mistakes. This is His world and the moment you think your plans for this world are better than His, you’ve got to repent for that conceit. Again, if it is of His will to do so. This is earth, our first life. It’s a fallen world and it’s not always going to be easy. Our second life is where it’s at. Don’t place your faith in such a trivial matter. (This is about faith because since amputees don’t get healed you think no one does. Which is you losing faith in Gods works.) Just because you don’t see Him healing amputees doesn’t automatically mean miracles don’t exist. I’ve seen people get demons cast out of them and they start vomiting their sickness away. I’ve heard testimonies of God healing them after they’re prayed for. The fact that our universe is still kept together is a miracle
@@Darqstorms Sadly, you still dont understand the "Why doesn't God heal amputees" argument. No Christian youtuber gets it right either. Maybe you should stick to preaching. Apologetics and logical fallacies aren't your strong suit here.
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
He does. Still does today. The ministry of William Branham has many healings like those. Eyeballs being formed, feet being grown, dead raised. Two of my family members, from Pentecost, have seen limbs grow out right in front of their eyes.
if two of your family members told you they've seen limbs grow out in front of their eyes, i'm sorry to say, that they either were fooled by a conman or are just blatantly lying to you.
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.
@@ryanfrancis9134 yes I am serious because I received my miracle. I had one leg shorter than the other by a 12 inches. Believe me when I say there is a God in Heaven who sent His son Jesus to die for you and me so we can be saved that on the third day was risen from dead and live forever more. Amen
I had an illness call h-pylori, and I was prayed for and was healed. I have documents when i was diagnosis of before and after. Imagine that your esophagus was black fill with ulcer that was cancer and then when they pray for you the doctor checked again with the camera and said it look like it's brand new esophagus
These kinda arguments and questions sound like your are changeling God to do something so people can believe. God has nothing to prove to any of us either you believe in him or you don't period.
its not challenging. the question is why god does heal the blind, people with cancer, pretty much every sick person from time to time but never heals an amputee. why are amputees discriminated by god?
Much like the many people I have heard try and answer this question in the past Frank does the exact same thing he dodges and deflects and doesn't actually give an answer. Here in the real world where we live there has never been an example of an amputee being healed but if it's a illness that can have a scientific or medical explanation for recovery it's a miracle why is that?
even if it was a miracle it would have a scientific method for example, the arm would have cell regeneration and so on, but that doesn’t explain the why it happened. That would be the miracle.
Why don’t you believe all of the recorded miracles by eye witnesses that Jesus performed? But the only one that truly matters, is His resurrection. Over 500 eye witnesses alive during the documentation of these events. I’ve personally had my back healed. I prayed for a still born baby and it came back to life, but later passed away. The answer is simple to why God does or does not do certain things. I don’t know is the answer. All we can do is step in faith with what we know to be true. Jesus has risen. And Jesus will return. And I hope that you will join us when He does. :) much love from Az 🖤
Actually that's not true. There is a firmly recorded case in the mid 1800s of a man who's leg was amputated having it healed some years later. And he says it was healed by god. Granted it's not contemporary modern times. But It's not 2000 years ago, and it haspretty much all the extraconfirmation you could ask for,from doctors and witnesses who knew him both before, and after the amputation. He even had a license to beg given by the state due to his amputation which required some of the afor mentioned doctors to sign off on. The account of his amputated leg being miraculously restored is pretty much as water tight as any historical account can get but those critical of God, and the supernatural reject it on premis stating the faith based assertion that some other explanation must be mercenary even though all evidence we have says the explanation was miraculous restoration of his severed limb.
I’ve been having some sort of pain in my right shoulder blade, may I please ask everyone if you have the time to just please pray for my recovery and healing 🙏🏽 Thank God 🙏🏽
“The apostles were able to do it to show that they really spoke for God” By that logic the only pastors we should listen to now are the ones that preform miracles so that we know they really speak for God which means there are currently 0 credible pastors on the earth.
No. By that logic, all Revelation (the Bible) was already given, so men don't REQUIRE miracles to prove their ministry anymore. Also, remember that Satan can work miracles, too (Pharaoh's priests responded well to Moses' miracles). And lastly, there are a lot of charlatans in business. Just because they claim a miracle on TV, it doesn't make it a real miracle.
@@yomomma4270 There's other books such as the Quran that also claim to contains revelations from God. Bare with me for a second here, but what if God performed miracles through Christians such as healing amputees, surely that would make it easier to discern which religion is the true one out of all the thousand religions we have.
Taylor J. - he directly answers the question by agreeing that amputees don’t get healed and then gives an illegitimate reason why. He answered it, just extremely poorly
@@taylormillion7244 He says I'm not totally convinced you couldn't heal somebody who's an amputee so you're lying there pal. He then goes on to explain the reasons as to why God would do miracles, either for proving the prophets, the same goes for Christ, the story of the blind man Jesus accredits him being blind for the manifestation of Gods healing. My gran had a stroke, despite her not being able to speak before she passed she had a long conversation with my mom, something impossible yet it happened, this is now more than a week ago, my mom who's an unbeliever witnessed a miracle. Many people wonder why we believe what we believe, because God has shown himself in our lifes. Reach out to Jesus acknowledging that you're a sinner in need of a savior and he will answer you, repent (metanoia, to have a change of mind) and trust in him.
I think the problem these days is that alot of we Christian's are so much of little faith that's why we can't do much miracles, I believe God is still ready to use people to accomplish a big , wonderful, amazing miracle, this has nothing to do with confirmation of new revelation it's just a problem of faith period! The church lacks so much faith these days
I’ve also learned that sometimes the Lord won’t perform a miracle now.. when that very miracle will be performed later. For days Goliath wasn’t stopped. Why? Weren’t the men praying 🙏🏻 Because he already had a plan in David. You don’t think the captive Israelites in Egypt were praying 🙏🏻 for salvation from their captors… Many went to their grave wondering why the Lord had not answered their prayers. The miracle was to be performed in Moses. You don’t think the man born blind didn’t often pray for his sight to be made whole? Jesus was still just a babe in Bethlehem. That mans miracle was coming. Just not on his timetable. We will all be Resurrected. The miracle of having our bodies restored and perfected WILL COME TO PASS. So… sometimes the Lord won’t deliver a miraculous blessing now… if He knows you’re going to receive it later. Keep The Faith!
My family prayed for a family member not to get amputated but that person did get amputated and lost 2 legs the whole family have been sad over it I prayed that the sickness will be gone but it wasn’t it changed everything in our family and it hurts so much I can’t understand why it had to happen our family was going to have a reunioun but that one family member couldn’t attend it just hurts so much and I was close to that person anyway *There are good and bad with what happened the good is that family member had a near death experienced and almost died but din’t die but had another chance to live* I understand God blessed that family member to live again but what happened still hurts
UnKnOwN pErSoN you might feel like Job. Job in his low point said "the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away". At the end of the day it's his decision and his will will be done. We don't know the mind of God we don't know what purpose it serves yet but I pray in the future His glory will be revealed through your family member. It just might take some time. Trust him.
Frank's answer has nothing to do with the question, which is why God only miraculously heals afflictions which are known to heal naturally or through treatment, and never anything actually miraculous like amputees?
Another thing to consider as it relates to this question is the fact that miracles seem to require spiritual power be flowing through the one who is performing them. This is evidenced by Jesus noting that power had left Him when the woman with the issue of blood touched His clothes in Luke 8:43-48. It may simply be that a person who possesses the kind of spiritual power required to pull off the healing of an amputee is either non-existent or very rare in our current world, thus, we do not see it. Jesus displayed this kind of power when He healed Malchus' ear, but it should be quite obvious that the spiritual power flowing through Him was infinite and incomparable to what any normal human can achieve. As it is written, the Spirit was given to Him without measure (John 3:34). His sinless perfection was undoubtedly one of the reasons this was possible. That and literally being God. Faith is another factor that cannot be overlooked. What was one of Jesus' main criticisms of His disciples and the people in His time? Their little faith or complete lack thereof. If the apostles, who were literally walking with Jesus, struggled with their faith, it isn't a stretch to think that many Christians today will face the same issue. So the question becomes how many people in the Christian community actually believe that God could heal an amputee? And even if they believe He can, do they believe He will? Maybe a miracle on this scale never happens because it is largely thought of as an impossible miracle, but the Bible says that with God, all things are possible (Matt. 19:26). Another interesting theory is that healing an amputee would need to be a miracle of creation and those might be limited to God Himself. Other miracles may require the healing or repairing of what is already there, but an amputee must have the missing appendage completely recreated if the original has been disposed of. If we look at Jesus and the blind men He healed, there are some interesting things to observe that may support this theory. Think of the fact that Jesus healed many blind men throughout the gospels, and take note of the fact that He didn't heal all of them in the same way. Most notably, He healed one of them by making mud with His spit and placing it on his eyes, then telling him to go wash it off in the Pool of Siloam (John 9:1-7). Undoubtedly, Jesus didn't need to do this to perform this miracle, but maybe the use of dirt in that instance was a callback to Genesis or the Creation since God formed man from the dirt of the ground. Maybe it was a sign He was recreating things that weren't there. We must also remember that God is a person, which means His will is involved. Maybe there's a very particular reason why He doesn't heal amputees. Maybe certain types of healings can only be performed by the Messiah Himself. In the Bible, no one else ever healed a blind person because one of the signs that the Messiah had arrived would be Him restoring sight to the blind (Isaiah 42:6-7). It's also possible that there's some other explanation we simply don't know of. The truth is we can only guess in this regard because, as a person, God's mind is unknowable unless He reveals it, and it doens't appear He's explicitly given an answer to this question. It is, however, safe to say that healing an amputee would most definitely not fall out of the scope of His power.
No, it's just that your "god" doesn't heal amputees, and you know it. Your poor understanding of evolution has nothing to do with it. Swallow the truth and stop trying to deflect.

First time I need to disagree. We come to the Lord, because we want salvation but also, we have the need of a miracle. If we cant expect miracles, why do I need to pray?
It happened during the izuza street revivals. It's still happening. I've seen people come back from the dead, healed from cancer, demons cast out all in the name of Jesus Christ. In Jesus Christ name. Just being honest and not trying to start a fight but it gets done
@@familyman7sf I was just gonna say... Amputees have been fully restored in today's modern era. Given the many videos of Frank I've watched I think the charismatic, faith driven, heavy lifting Holy Spirit isn't a real Frank delves into. Which is OK.

Some Christians say there is no need for miracles anymore, but as soon as someone survives a car accident he can be the first one to say it is a miracle... the question is still unanswered.
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.
What about all the gods you deny? Tell me why you deny Apollo, Ares, Poseidon, Santa, Artemis, Zeus...and the tens of thousands of other imagined deities. And of course you will say that your particular god is the one and only true god...sigh...
hey man, i encourage you to deeply study healing in the bible then go out and pray and dont give up and you will see plenty of people healed by GOd through you. it is not for lucky people but for bold believers in his word. Mark 16:15-20 tells us plainly what signs should follow us so if they dont, there is nothing wrong with GOd but with us. We need to change and renew our minds. God Bless
U thank God for giving u life & for giving animals life for u to take their lives away & eat them. U thanking God for your life or your recovery from illness implies that God chose u & ignored many miscarriages or many dead patients. Don’t u see how religion scam, with its made-up imaginary God, exploits your hypocrisy selfishness narcissism gullibility ignorance & arrogance to fool u into feeling special in your delusional mind?
What does 'heal' mean? To be healed is not to be confined merely to the regeneration of a missing limb. Is it not also peace of mind? Do we not grow through suffering? Is losing a limb only suffering or can it be more, even to propel us to strength, to be 'healed' of our former listless existence? Ask Nick Vujicic about that.
You're missing the point. Look, theists often claim that their god heals people. They then point to people they know who used to have cancer, but the cancer went away after they pray. And they use this stuff as evidence, that god has healing powers. They are NOT talking about "mental healing", they are talking about physical healing. And even more, they are using it as evidence that their god exists, because if he didn't exist, he couldn't heal anybody. And the question about amputees is here to show how silly this line of "evidence" is. Because if god actually did use his healing power, to give us evidence for his existence, why would he exclusively heal stuff, which can go into remission naturally? Why wouldn't he heal stuff that CAN'T heal naturally, like amputations?
I don't believe God only exclusively heal stuff that can be healed naturally. I heard that the book Frank Turek is talking about accounted a miracle where a person with removed spleen suddenly had a spleen. Do spleens grow up naturally? I also heard a miracle claim that a person with amputated finger grew up a new finger. If the two miracle claims above are true, then your question is invalid. There may be miracles of growing limbs, but obviously many will not believe because even with evidence, they won't believe miracles exist because they assume that miracles are impossible.
Healing an amputated limb would be a miracle. People do not cause miracles, God does. Therefore, it wouldn't make sense to expect a person to be able to coerce God into performing a miracle. Rather, God performs miracles at times like when Moses was telling his revelation and needed credibility
"All miracles are done by God." So talking to someone who is an ATHEIST...that talking point goes right past him. Better argument = Regardless of the miracles that may or may not happen around us, whether it was done by magic, God, or physical causes...the cause of a miracle, doesn't disprove God. We live in a cause and effect universe and those who are misunderstood by the cause and effects of things, doesn't mean certain cause and effects happen.
Trade! When are you all going to understand that atheists don’t need to disprove God? The burden of proof is on believers to prove God exists. While you’re at it, why not also prove that miracles actually occur.
Great answer if what he is saying is true. There are millions claims and beliefs that people make up every day that we can't find solid proof to back it up
@@GCEXTREMEMN yes yes yes attribute all miracles to god. What about all the other stuff god never does? You Christians find a speck of sand and go omg were at a beach
@@Riolande creation is the greatest miracle of all. An Atheist was talking with God.. "We don't need you anymore, we can make life from dirt just like you." God replies. "That's awesome...let me see this miracle you've accomplished" The Atheist says "it's no miracle..its science" and he reaches down and grabs a handful of dirt "first we grab some dirt.." And then he is interrupted by God who says "No, No create your own dirt." You laugh at miracles you think are small..but you dont have a clue how miraculous they truly are.. You laugh at the speck of sand..but last time I checked..sand/dirt cant be made in a lab by man. Something so simple cant be replicated and created by man. The fact that it exists and God created it...is the miracle.
There's no new revelation that needs confirmation. So every time a person is born and grows up to be an adult, that person doesn't need confirmation? He doesn't need to have God come down and personally confirm with him he's real because God already did it 2000 years ago and we should trust the -scribes- -false prophets- -catholics- -protestants- wise men like the OP?
arthurjeremypearson Basically yea. Philosophy and history are strong enough to support the truth of the old stories. With the apologetics about the general revelation of the universe we don’t even need a personal revelation of god imo.
As I understand his comment, he means that the personal confirmation will be from the revelation of the resurrection/salvation, which may be new to the newborn but not new to the world. So, yes, we do need personal knowledge of God and Jesus/Yeshua Christ because we “must be born again.” “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3 NKJV. I pray, “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.” Ephesians 1:17-23 NKJV Grace and peace be unto you ❤️
What about it just being the right thing to heal, to do good? Isn’t that what Jesus said? “Is it better to do good on the Sabbath, or evil? To save a life or to destroy it?” When did God give up on doing good?

So the answer is: since he's already confirmed all revelations 2.000 years ago thrpugh miracles, he's got nothing more to prove. So much for all sick people today.
Contrary to the Joel Osteen crowd God healed the sick to do demonstrate what he can do when HE so chooses. The main focus of God based upon his Word i.e. the bible is to be concerned about your eternal security or the blessed hope not to hope in this present time. See Job for instance.

1: I think it's fair to say that God does do miracles, not to impress the saints, but to impact sinners! 2: Also, if God fixed everyones physical and let's say financial woes the moment they get saved, where would their level of faith be? The scriptures say "without faith it is impossible to please God..." He would end up with a bunch of spoilt brats without the spiritual grit to grow in faith and obedience to Him.
If a doctor cured someone's blindness they would be eternally grateful to them and have faith in what they can do forever, how exactly would the spoilt brat situation come up? Seriously explain that, what in that particular scenario would turn them into a spoilt brat? What utter made up nonsense
What a purpose behind! I have seen amazing miracles, but curiously, sometimes the visible ones, or the ones that can make everyone to believe, do not happen (Sometimes again). Anyway Bible says that our prove of Jesus being the son of God is his resurrection.
" Joan Murray is a skydiver who survived falling from a height of 14,500 feet. ... On September 25, 1999, she went on a skydive from 14,500 feet. Her main parachute could not open.. " --- If this is not a Miracle, you can recreate the fall and report back what will happen to you.
There are miracles that occur today and I'm one of them. My back was out, as in my L4 disk out of my lower back, preventing me from walking properly and on Father's day 2017, I was healed after getting prayer at my church. My faith increased big time and most importantly my relationship with Christ has improved; not to mention that living in sin, which was probably part of my injury was abandoned by me, with God's help ofcourse.
The wages of sin is death. Unless we are here and survive to the end then we will all collect our wages in this life. Jesus saved us to make us perfect for the life after this one. How can we learn to embrace a life without sin if we do not endure the trials of this life? We all enter this world, we all leave this world. Is it so hard to believe that the body is nothing more than a vessel, a biological machine, that connects the eternal spirit to this realm? If God created our universe to begin with and designed all that physically exists and did exist in it, then surely we can all be made whole and perfect in eternity. It does not mean it will happen in this life just because we would prefer it. People have a struggle to let go of "control" in this life. That has been the common denominator throughout human history. We try to manipulate the things that we don't like about reality, never successful. The truth is that whether or not you believe in a divine supernatural creator, you definitely are not being honest with yourself if you won't at least admit that we mortals have control over nothing in this world.
The problem here is non believers think that all miracles are big like parting of the seas or a fiery bush. God puts his influence on everyone everyday , most are to blinded to see .
My mom lost her leg due to a very rare infection. Her losing her leg got her out of a toxic marriage, she fell in love with her personal trainer and now they’re married and our family is way better off. Trust God’s will he has a plan for all of us.
I don’t see how. We don’t know if any amputees have been healed through prayer or not, we don’t have all knowledge of everything, clearly. Frank specifically says “I’m not sure you can’t heal amputees through prayer.”
@@titans90k speaking in today's terms, does this mean that anybody that was ill and got better after prayer were the result of them recievibg advance medical treatments and not god? I'd hate for ill people in third world nations praying to god and not getting better feel like they're being ignored while first world sick people with advance medical treatments praying thinking that god listens to them.
I think you need something to replace the lost hand or leg whatever the amputee part is. If you think about it... Jesus needed water in order to turn it into wine. Devil told Jesus to turn rock into bread if he was hungry. Maybe the reason modern day miracles can't heal the amputees is because nobody is using anything to replace the hand.
He didn't answer the question. Do you believe miracles still happen or not? And if you do why aren't amputees healed by prayer or miracles? It's a simple freaking question
Pinhead Atheist false. I would readily admit the existance of a god if I saw someone pray for an amputee and his arm grew back. I'd believe in an instant. But that never happens. When "god heals someone" it's really modern medicine succeeding at it's job and god getting the credit. It's never something that modern medicine can't do.
science isn't making stuff up science is testing and observing reality descriptions that have to deal with the fact that reality disagrees with their Bible. I know that's what you were taught as a little kid and you want to clean to it like you cleaned your teddy bear but it's not true
No new revelation...? But there are new _people._ So, yes, there is a need for new _confirmation,_ to help those people who've been born _after_ this revelation see its validity...assuming it has any.
Le Rational SkepticTM It would be hard for even the most inveterate atheist to deny something very extreme, such as instant limb regeneration, humans flying like Superman, ect. Miracles were great during the time Moses, Noah and Jesus walked on our planet. Materializing food, reanimating dead corpses, parting a large body of water, flooding that exceeded 28 thousand feet in height and people living for centuries. What do we get today? "God cured my cancer, helped me find my car keys, reduced my sadness, and 'just look at a tree and tell me miracles aren't occurring'". I would absolutely admit something very odd, even supernatural was occurring if your deity went back to using old school miracles.
Le Rational SkepticTM I would absolutely think something paranormal was occurring. Skeptics aren't exactly known for having paranormal beliefs. And why shouldn't we try and test that which has been observed? I think the real issue is that neither you or your deity can produce anything closely resembling a miracle.
Le Rational SkepticTM I can admit there are things science will probably never be able to explain. It's not arrogant to try and see if something claimed as miraculous can be understood by the scientific method. Theists on the other hand exude arrogance. They know who made the universe, all matter, consciousness and time. On top of that they claim to be best friends with the entity responsible. Pot, meet kettle. Skeptics don't take the position that everything is or can be known and understood. Goddidit. Let's see somebody materialize food. I'll gladly admit that such an occurrence would be supernatural. Or spontaneous limb regeneration. There aren't any evolutionary biologists who could explain that away. I'm from Missouri, the Show Me state. So by all means, show me some miracles.
Le Rational SkepticTM I was simply pointing out that the scientific method is responsible for luxuries which allow us to communicate. I can understand why the church wouldn't want pesky skeptics hovering over their shoulders. Having a miracle debunked is terrible pr for those who operate on faith; and we all know the comfort blankets that theists drag around are very important for their sanity. Meanwhile, theists are free to join any STEM field they desire. Francis Collins has freedom of religion and scientific inquiry. I would never wish to exclude him from scientific investigation. "Religious bigotry!", shouted the theists. You may not claim all the answers, but you and many other religions claim to know much more than any skeptic I've met. How nice it must be to have a direct line of communication with the entity who started everything. Perhaps you can arrange a meeting on Hangouts where we may all have the chance to greet your elusive, invisible deity. Now show me limb regeneration on a human being. You're a master at dodging. If you can't, then enjoy having the final word. I'm out. Praise Allah, Poseidon, Thor, Ra, Horus, Shiva, and the thousands of other deities you willfully reject, sinner. Just one more to whittle away and we can become atheist buddies. It'll be fun. We'll go around killing, raping, torturing, enslaving, etc. I've got an extra brown shirt if you know what I mean. ;)
Frank dodged the question. First the question is wrongly worded to put the blame on God. God isn't to blame or unwilling or unable to heal. I think the reasons are lack of faith. Also it's not a healing but a regeneration. Most people don't have the kind of faith that can make this possible so they'll only see miracles at their level of faith. Two, the amputee may not hav the faith to believe for his miracle. Can you believe God for him to heal you of persistent migraine? If not how would you be able to believe him for a limb to grow out. Faith grows. Before David had the faith to conquer Goliath, he had conquered a lion and a bear. His faith grew.
So you have a christian and a hindu, both suffer stage 4 cancer. The Hindu prays to his gods. The Christian prays to his God. Both overcame the cancer and both claim their God healed them. However, they both reject the existence of the others God(s)...... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
he did. his answer was, healing an amputee is a miracle, miracles are done by God, miracles are done in order to confirm new revelation, there is no new revelation that needed confirmation, therefore God doesn't heal amputees. to add to his answer from a reformed point of view, God doesn't heal amputees because (1) God decreed to be so, and we have no right nor the ability to judge God's decree (2) when you ask this question, you have a presupposition that being an amputee means sickness that needs healing, from your humanistic perspective; but God may not see that a sickness, or a sickness that needs healing. (3) God decrees people to become amputees in order that his glory may be displayed through these people. Same theology applies to all sickness and disasters; God allows evil/bad things to happen in order that through the falleness of man and the world, His glory might be on display.
In Evan Almighty, it’s depicted that if God said Yes to all prayers, the world would fall apart and burn. People ask for things to be healed or fixed with no answer. God always has a reason for not doing things right away. Whether you like it or not, he’s our father and a good father doesn’t say yes to everything his children wants.

@@Navneetsingh-on3bd I have read the bible. That's the problem. It doesn't make sense literally,historically and scientifically. If you truly saw a regrowth did you record it?

God instilled in homosapien capabilities that prior species (Neanderthals for example) did’t possess such creativity and communications for a reason. The huge task of realizing that God is the only entity worthy of worship has falling upon our shoulders. And it ain’t easy or simple. We aught to read learn and advance science to find a cure and in the process marvel on God’s impeccable creation. Between the absolute knowledge of everything and the need to work hard to learn, laugh and cry get sick and healthy love and hate only a fool choses the former. Only with the opposites and the continuous test to be our own best version that Life and creation has a meaning.
So the good news of the gospel is now somehow that who ever believes in Jesus, will then have an extraordinary life without sickness or pain, and if so, any prayers will heal a person from any sickness or trouble by just commanding God in prayer to heal and he is never allowed to say no at all..? Isnt the fact that miricles happens rarely why we call them miricles in the first place? And when it happens it cant be explained? Even of all people would be healed, we all would still had sinned. There is not a single person who is good, not even one, only God is good, we all fall short at the glory of god.
The point of the question is that there’s been a lot of ‘faith healing’ in the past 2 centuries and whether or not you think it’s a true Christian thing or false, the point is, the few times that “God” actually decides to do a miracle, he only seems to heal or cure things that can also be cured naturally. How do we know those things aren’t going away naturally? Why doesn’t an “all powerful” god ever do unambiguous miracles so they won’t be mistaken for anything else? It’s not to say that he’s never done it in the Bible (sure: Peter; ear) and it has nothing to do with “why isn’t “God” doing more healing/miracles?” OR “why doesn’t he make everything in our lives perfect?”
Which is one BIG reason I reject a lot of religions that claim they are Apostles. They are liars. They can only "do miracles" that are easily faked. They slander the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.
So what if God chooses not to heal amputees.. would it make any difference?.. you'll still have haters, still have people waging war against God. Read the bible and you'll hear plenty of miracles performed by Jesus, and they still crucified him. God is more concerned about our hearts.. a clean loving heart Will get you into heaven, not a complete perfect healthy body.
I had a conversation with an atheist once who said that the only way he could be convinced of God's existence was if he personally saw God descend from heaven in all His glory. At that point, he would believe that God exists, but would hate Him for all the bad things in the Bible and that have been done in God's name. No amount of miraculous healings are going to convince people like that.
*So what if God chooses not to heal amputees.. would it make any difference?* YES!!! Of course!!! Think about it! It would make ALL the difference! After all, according to believers, god heals all kind of stuff all the time. Cancer. Fever. Head ackes. All the time, apparently! And yet, it's always stuff that can disappear spontanously, naturally! It's always stuff, where his "healing" is indistinguishable from naturally occring recovery! But amputated limbs growing back... that doesn't happen spontanously and naturally! So, yes, if god could heal stuff that can't happen naturally, then we would have actual EVIDENCE for something that god has done, rather than just believers attributing naturally occuring things to their god! So, OF COURSE it would make a difference! A huge one! So, why doesn't he?
Kayle Kroeker exactly my friend, plenty of people witnessed God's power in the old testament right through to the new and they still refused to repent, some did but not all.
*plenty of people witnessed God's power in the old testament right through to the new and they still refused to repent, some did but not all.* Hey, then why not make miracles FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WOULDN'T?!? Also, if you honestly believe that a miracle, like a re-growing of a limb, would not cause HUGE numbers of people to get convinced of the existence of a god, then you are delusional! OF COURSE such miracles would make a difference! So, why would go only "heal" people in a way that is indistinguisable from natural cures? Why "heal" cancer in a rate that is impossible to tell apart from natural remissions, while not ONCE heal a lost limb? I do NOT believe you, that you believe your own excuse here! I give you more credit than that, to be honest. Because your explanation makes no sense, and even you know it on some level, I'm sure.
Lala Nada Actually God has physically healed people here in my country. My son died and after we prayed over him God gave him back to us. Now concerning this miracle, in which I am an eye witness of, do you believe it? Highly likely you will not, but regardless of your faith my dear friend many of us have our complete confidence in knowing that God has the perfect right to give life and to take it away.

Frank, thanks for your commitment to the truth and to arming Christians with good answers. On this point, I have to disagree. Miracles are needed now as much as ever, and God is just as willing to do them. So many people, even in America, have not yet heard the simple gospel. Jesus promised to confirm the word with accompanying signs, and He does. The church doesn't see more miracles because most preachers don't have faith for them (few preachers have ever seen them on a large scale). But I've found that God can make quick work of a school, a business, or even a whole city with one bold witness who is willing to pray for the sick and take the heat for boldly proclaiming the gospel. I have over 160 healing testimonies from a six-week period, and I would be glad to answer any questions you have about it.
Testimony is worthless unless conducted in a controlled environment and observed by medical practitioners who expertise in illness and injury. Also empirical data to collaborate the testimonies would be useful
@@collinsa8909 bare in mind this was 5 years ago so I’ve refined my view on this somewhat I’m referring to “justified true beliefs”. Meaning that I have sufficient reasons to think something is true. I totally agree there could be things that are true that don’t have sufficient evidentiary warrant to be justified. Healing testimony isn’t useful in this context unless it’s done in a particular way which I’m happy to describe.
I was thinking; shouldn't it be more about the guy or girl getting their limb back rather than revelation of confirmation but I feel like God would say something like It's more about their soul and eternity than it is about them receiving their limb back. In reference to Jesus saying to cut off anything which causes you to sin.
@@nonybrighto yeah it was a terrible impersonation as well as being unnecessary and bordering on offensive. I hope they gave him some grief for it when he went back to football😂
Miracles do happen but they're not the main objective Jesus demonstrated that by ignoring the disciples when they came back rejoicing after performing miracles He reminded them to rejoice because their names where written in the Lamb's book of life. God is more concerned about a human soul than our physical appearance.
Yeah Frank is mostly wrong on this one. Miracles occur because people believe in them. God hasn't changed, He's still the God that can and does heal; and Jesus said that His disciples will do even greater works than He did. When Jesus went around healing people it wasn't just because of some sort of confirmation it was because He believed that He had the power to heal and those that came to Him believed that He had the power to heal, a prime example is the woman with the issue of blood; she is the only one among the people thronging Jesus who got healed, and confirmation had nothing to do with it, her faith healed her. Miraculous healings don't take place because people don't believe in them.
Yes that's exactly right....Jesus didn't come to end suffering he said it himself that he was not sent to end suffering but too offer a path to god he even says in turn that because of me you will have father agaisnt sons brothers agaisnt sister...he knew that his existence and beliefs would cause a stir among the people and so to prove he was god he had to prove as with self serving belief to others that he is who he says he is. If he wanted to save the world he could heal everyone but that's just a temporary fix where he offers a permanent solution. And btw Jesus did heal an amputee the Roman shoulder came to arrest him there was an altercation and a Roman got his ear cut off then Jesus proceeds to revive his ear
Only Luke specifies that Jesus healed that ear, and under NT scholarship, that's grounds for thinking he is embellishing, since this is a great miracle the other canonical authors wouldn't likely have "chosen to exclude", thus their exclusion of it more likely means they didn't know Jesus healed that ear. And it wouldn't matter anyway: an eyewitness to Benny Hinn's healings from the front row could tell you next week that they saw him healing others by the power of God, yet you'd strongly suspect that their eyewitness status doesn't do shit to increase the likelihood that they understood correctly what they were viewing. And you are surely aware that the only time we hear about modern reports of restored human limbs by the power of God, is in circumstances where comprehensive investigation is nearly impossible. I really wish Christian apologists would shut the fuck up about all this trifling bullshit and PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS AND NAME SOME MIRACLE-CLAIM FROM THE LAST 100 YEARS AS TRUE. My feeling is that the reason apologists feel more comfortable carping from the sidelines about gospel reliability and methodological flaws in naturalism, than they do about naming the modern-day miracle they think is actually true, is because they fear once they DO put their money where their mouth is and pick one modern-day miracle-claim they say can only be best explained by God, they will have their ass handed to them shortly after the ensuing investigation. Put up or shut up. If you so fucking big on examining evidence, tell us which modern day miracle you think the Christian god is truly responsible for, and let's get started.
Barry Jones I never said that I believe the modern day amputees healings of benny hinn and his ilk. Rob asked for chapter and verse of Jesus healing an amputee. However, because of your belligerence, total lack of manners and foul language directed at me in your comment, I refuse to get into a discussion on this. Suffice to say, Luke is as valid a gospel as any of the others and is just as inspired by God.
All miracles if not most were done through faith. If one doesn’t have faith they can’t be healed, what is the use of trying to heal. The sick, the blind, the lame were healed for their “faith”.
Yeah! They are called sceptics. Why doesn't your God just show himself to all humanity? That would end the argument once and for all. Why does he let his devout followers embarrass themselves with horrible arguments like those on display here? There's an obvious answer. Hint: the invisible, the undetectable and the non-existent appear and act the same.

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.
You have the right mind set. There is only time for compassion, forgiveness, and love. You witnessed the true miracle.
Catholics are christians too... so wtf. I mean as of "the joint declaration of justification" they believe in salvation through grace alone and apart from works so why wouldn't be saved? There are minor dogmatic differences but God can't possibly care for those so much he would damn someone.
Adam Adamowicz Catholic doctrine goes against the word of God. If a catholic calls a man of their church father then they disobey Christ’s commands to call no man your father for there is one Father. If a Catholic preaches to pray to statues such as Mary and holds her to be worthy and so clean as to claim she has remained a virgin after Christ, then this goes against the word of God. I’ve heard a Catholic preach about a place where people can go to after death where they get to work and pay off their debt and make it into heaven. It was referred to as purgatory. This is false doctrine and this all adds to the word of God. It is recorded in the last chapter of the Bible, in Revelation, that anyone who adds to this book, the Lord will add all the plagues to them that are in the book! Woe to them who follow the commands of Catholic doctrine!
A Christian follows Christ! None of those things commanded in Catholicism is commanded in the Bible. I’ve heard many stories from friends about Catholic school and they are no longer believers because of their strict ridiculous rituals. Forcing kids to pray for long periods and putting a lot of strain on the children! Woe to he who offends the little ones who believe in me for it would be better if a millstone was tied about their neck and they were casted into the sea! There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
@@goodvibezinChrist preaching this hard against the Catholic Church is like cutting off the branch you're sitting on. Who do you think you received the word from?

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?
@James Brice And the other 5 billion don't believe the Bible. So they are rational, yes? 1.5 billion Muslims must be rational as well, yes?
@Bubble Buster Don't you know how the monarchical system works? God's kingdom is wherever His will is being done; wherever He is is accepted as King. The Garden of Eden was united with Heaven since the will of God was being followed in the Garden. Every household today where the will of God is followed is part of the kingdom of God. Soon, the fulfillment of God's kingdom will be the New Jerusalem established on earth.
If that is your answer then its a silly answer!
God knows everything, right? Then why does he need to test you? He already knows the outcome of the test.
God has a plan for everyone, right? He is all-powerful, right? So no one can destroy his plan. God's test for you was set up by god and the outcome of that test was decided by god as part of his plan that you cannot change, because you are not as powerful as a god. So again: Why does he need to test you?
God is all-merciful, right? Then why would he test you in such a merciless way to find the outcome of a test that he already knows and he already planned before you were even born??
Yeah your answer is a bloody silly one!!!!
@@GariSullivan Is it not through tests people grow to be who they are? Aren’t tests necessary for growth? I believe that God’s tests are for the sake of the people.
If the world had no tests, then wouldn’t the world basically be without trouble? Without stress and pain? Without struggle? Asking for such is basically asking for a whole new world. That’s like asking the world to be like heaven.
Tests are necessary. Perhaps it’s the way God tests people that’s bothering you. People are all different. The tests are all different.
@@leahcimmmm What is the point of a test when God has already mapped out your response and success or otherwise in your test? Even if you, personally, don't know your test outcome, god does.
Remember, your life is mapped out for your by God. Remember, he has a plan for you. Part of that plan will be the pass or failure of that test - A decision made even before you were born. How you respond to a god's test has already been decided. It's not your choice how you respond. Your response is all part of god's plan and you are not powerful enough to alter god's plan.
You religious people NEVER think through your beliefs to their logical conclusion.
We don't see these kinds of miracles because we don't have the mustard seed of faith sufficient for them to happen.
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?
He said that some people believe this, not that he believes this. The verse you mentioned only applies if it is Gods will, so only if God decides to do it. I think this is mentioned in a different place in the bible. We could also consider that maybe there is a translation issue here and he didn't actually mean ANYTHING we ask for. Jesus may have also been referring to asking for certain types or things that have certain criteria and he might have meant if you ask while he is on the earth walking around and performing miracles. I think it is most likely that he meant that it will be done if it is in Gods will though.
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
It'd be nice to see evidence. Otherwise a muslim or a bhuddist could make the exact same claim and there'd also be no way to verify either claims
@@wizolufa1452 excellent response, substantial claims requires substantial evidence.
@Elija btw i later stumbled upon a video where a magician shows the secret behind the “shorter leg miracle” trick. That video is on TH-cam but I cant remember the name right now. But basically the trick works by slowly pulling out the shoe on the shorter leg until it’s even with the shoe other leg, thus creating the illusion that the leg grew
I understand, this wasn’t done in a concert room or anything. Someone that truly had their leg grow out with no shoe on. Sometimes there is no explanation for an event, that’s called a miracle. God is truly alive and still doing Miracles. If we seek God He will also reveal Himself to us!
@ wiz olufa
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 !
So very happy you found freedom.

Paradise Lord Ryū the time has not yet come for the imparting of the masses. For what Paul was told to write has yet to pass; for young men and old will have dreams and visions.
Or what John was given to write in the most prophetic book of Revelation.
Droid Wolff just sounds like an excuse to wait forever for a false promise.
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.
You’re half way there, go all the way. Wake up, All religions are the projection of fear of the mind from death , illness, loneliness, etc. Smarter ones use it to control the masses for greed of money fame and power
Don’t listen to this guy^ he’s trying to weaken your faith. Using a weak and pitiful arguing against God by using actions human beings have done. How does that work?
Anyways, Maybe it’s not of God’s will to do so. Living your life here on earth with one arm and going to heaven for eternity is better than living life here on earth with both arms then burning in hell for eternity. Frank just explained that God doesn’t need to perform such big miracles anymore. Plus, we need to pray to God for HIS will to be done and have faith in that. Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs. Yet he’s a Christian man who believes in God and he believes in God’s plan before his own. God and impossible aren’t compatible, understand that fact. Plus the Bible shows us that people get their wishes granted (if it’s of His will) when they have faith and obey the commandments. Don’t put all your faith on someone growing another arm before your eyes. Think about what God has planned for that person.
The only thing we’ll be missing from our bodies in heaven is a sinful nature.
@@Darqstorms You're not understanding the argument. The "God wont heal amputees" argument has nothing to do with lack of faith or Him being cruel to amputees. It's about what the world would look like if God performed miracles after listening to prayers. The argument points out that if God is real and performs supernatural miracles, then you should expect a world where you see amputees healing along with other mundane healings. Since God isn't bound by the laws of physics, He can heal what he wants. But if God isn't real, we should expect to see a world where only physically possible recoveries occur and the impossible ones dont, since there is no god to intervene. And that's the world we live in. Therefore, it's more logical to believe that God doesnt heal anyone. Unless you believe in a god that purposely heals people in a pattern to make us think he doesn't exist. But I dont like that.
@@adrianbed6984 okay part of the issue I see here is that you expect God to do what you want Him to as if He isn’t a perfect being not capable of making mistakes. This is His world and the moment you think your plans for this world are better than His, you’ve got to repent for that conceit. Again, if it is of His will to do so. This is earth, our first life. It’s a fallen world and it’s not always going to be easy. Our second life is where it’s at. Don’t place your faith in such a trivial matter. (This is about faith because since amputees don’t get healed you think no one does. Which is you losing faith in Gods works.) Just because you don’t see Him healing amputees doesn’t automatically mean miracles don’t exist. I’ve seen people get demons cast out of them and they start vomiting their sickness away. I’ve heard testimonies of God healing them after they’re prayed for. The fact that our universe is still kept together is a miracle
@@Darqstorms Sadly, you still dont understand the "Why doesn't God heal amputees" argument. No Christian youtuber gets it right either. Maybe you should stick to preaching. Apologetics and logical fallacies aren't your strong suit here.
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
Thanks for sharing this
He does. Still does today. The ministry of William Branham has many healings like those. Eyeballs being formed, feet being grown, dead raised. Two of my family members, from Pentecost, have seen limbs grow out right in front of their eyes.
if two of your family members told you they've seen limbs grow out in front of their eyes, i'm sorry to say, that they either were fooled by a conman or are just blatantly lying to you.
Why don't these faith healers ever go to Children's hospitals??!! It's all a scam.
My muslim friend said his Imam has raised people from the dead. Do you believe it? If not, then why not?
No they have not.
Convenient that they will never be footage huh
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.
You can't be serious!!!!!
@@ryanfrancis9134 yes I am serious because I received my miracle. I had one leg shorter than the other by a 12 inches. Believe me when I say there is a God in Heaven who sent His son Jesus to die for you and me so we can be saved that on the third day was risen from dead and live forever more. Amen
Wonder if these are documented
I had an illness call h-pylori, and I was prayed for and was healed. I have documents when i was diagnosis of before and after. Imagine that your esophagus was black fill with ulcer that was cancer and then when they pray for you the doctor checked again with the camera and said it look like it's brand new esophagus
gotta spread the word of this Church, somebody in there has a gift of the holy spirit
These kinda arguments and questions sound like your are changeling God to do something so people can believe. God has nothing to prove to any of us either you believe in him or you don't period.
its not challenging. the question is why god does heal the blind, people with cancer, pretty much every sick person from time to time but never heals an amputee. why are amputees discriminated by god?
Much like the many people I have heard try and answer this question in the past Frank does the exact same thing he dodges and deflects and doesn't actually give an answer. Here in the real world where we live there has never been an example of an amputee being healed but if it's a illness that can have a scientific or medical explanation for recovery it's a miracle why is that?
even if it was a miracle it would have a scientific method for example, the arm would have cell regeneration and so on, but that doesn’t explain the why it happened. That would be the miracle.
Why don’t you believe all of the recorded miracles by eye witnesses that Jesus performed? But the only one that truly matters, is His resurrection. Over 500 eye witnesses alive during the documentation of these events. I’ve personally had my back healed. I prayed for a still born baby and it came back to life, but later passed away. The answer is simple to why God does or does not do certain things. I don’t know is the answer. All we can do is step in faith with what we know to be true. Jesus has risen. And Jesus will return. And I hope that you will join us when He does. :) much love from Az 🖤
Actually that's not true. There is a firmly recorded case in the mid 1800s of a man who's leg was amputated having it healed some years later. And he says it was healed by god. Granted it's not contemporary modern times.
But It's not 2000 years ago, and it haspretty much all the extraconfirmation you could ask for,from doctors and witnesses who knew him both before, and after the amputation. He even had a license to beg given by the state due to his amputation which required some of the afor mentioned doctors to sign off on.
The account of his amputated leg being miraculously restored is pretty much as water tight as any historical account can get but those critical of God, and the supernatural reject it on premis stating the faith based assertion that some other explanation must be mercenary even though all evidence we have says the explanation was miraculous restoration of his severed limb.

Yes
“The apostles were able to do it to show that they really spoke for God”
By that logic the only pastors we should listen to now are the ones that preform miracles so that we know they really speak for God which means there are currently 0 credible pastors on the earth.
No. By that logic, all Revelation (the Bible) was already given, so men don't REQUIRE miracles to prove their ministry anymore.
Also, remember that Satan can work miracles, too (Pharaoh's priests responded well to Moses' miracles). And lastly, there are a lot of charlatans in business. Just because they claim a miracle on TV, it doesn't make it a real miracle.
@@yomomma4270 There's other books such as the Quran that also claim to contains revelations from God. Bare with me for a second here, but what if God performed miracles through Christians such as healing amputees, surely that would make it easier to discern which religion is the true one out of all the thousand religions we have.

He directly answers the question.
Yes he did..u just didnt comprehend it.
He actually did.
Taylor J. - he directly answers the question by agreeing that amputees don’t get healed and then gives an illegitimate reason why. He answered it, just extremely poorly
@@taylormillion7244 He says I'm not totally convinced you couldn't heal somebody who's an amputee so you're lying there pal.
He then goes on to explain the reasons as to why God would do miracles, either for proving the prophets, the same goes for Christ, the story of the blind man Jesus accredits him being blind for the manifestation of Gods healing.
My gran had a stroke, despite her not being able to speak before she passed she had a long conversation with my mom, something impossible yet it happened, this is now more than a week ago, my mom who's an unbeliever witnessed a miracle.
Many people wonder why we believe what we believe, because God has shown himself in our lifes.
Reach out to Jesus acknowledging that you're a sinner in need of a savior and he will answer you, repent (metanoia, to have a change of mind) and trust in him.
I think the problem these days is that alot of we Christian's are so much of little faith that's why we can't do much miracles, I believe God is still ready to use people to accomplish a big , wonderful, amazing miracle, this has nothing to do with confirmation of new revelation it's just a problem of faith period! The church lacks so much faith these days
I’ve also learned that sometimes the Lord won’t perform a miracle now.. when that very miracle will be performed later.
For days Goliath wasn’t stopped. Why? Weren’t the men praying 🙏🏻
Because he already had a plan in David.
You don’t think the captive Israelites in Egypt were praying 🙏🏻 for salvation from their captors… Many went to their grave wondering why the Lord had not answered their prayers. The miracle was to be performed in Moses.
You don’t think the man born blind didn’t often pray for his sight to be made whole? Jesus was still just a babe in Bethlehem. That mans miracle was coming. Just not on his timetable.
We will all be Resurrected. The miracle of having our bodies restored and perfected WILL COME TO PASS. So… sometimes the Lord won’t deliver a miraculous blessing now… if He knows you’re going to receive it later.
Keep The Faith!
My family prayed for a family member not to get amputated but that person did get amputated and lost 2 legs the whole family have been sad over it I prayed that the sickness will be gone but it wasn’t it changed everything in our family and it hurts so much I can’t understand why it had to happen our family was going to have a reunioun but that one family member couldn’t attend it just hurts so much and I was close to that person anyway
*There are good and bad with what happened the good is that family member had a near death experienced and almost died but din’t die but had another chance to live*
I understand God blessed that family member to live again but what happened still hurts
UnKnOwN pErSoN you might feel like Job. Job in his low point said "the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away". At the end of the day it's his decision and his will will be done. We don't know the mind of God we don't know what purpose it serves yet but I pray in the future His glory will be revealed through your family member. It just might take some time. Trust him.
Remember when Jesus said they only followed Him for the miracles and food, it was the intent of there hearts that God seen...
Frank's answer has nothing to do with the question, which is why God only miraculously heals afflictions which are known to heal naturally or through treatment, and never anything actually miraculous like amputees?
Another thing to consider as it relates to this question is the fact that miracles seem to require spiritual power be flowing through the one who is performing them. This is evidenced by Jesus noting that power had left Him when the woman with the issue of blood touched His clothes in Luke 8:43-48. It may simply be that a person who possesses the kind of spiritual power required to pull off the healing of an amputee is either non-existent or very rare in our current world, thus, we do not see it. Jesus displayed this kind of power when He healed Malchus' ear, but it should be quite obvious that the spiritual power flowing through Him was infinite and incomparable to what any normal human can achieve. As it is written, the Spirit was given to Him without measure (John 3:34). His sinless perfection was undoubtedly one of the reasons this was possible. That and literally being God.
Faith is another factor that cannot be overlooked. What was one of Jesus' main criticisms of His disciples and the people in His time? Their little faith or complete lack thereof. If the apostles, who were literally walking with Jesus, struggled with their faith, it isn't a stretch to think that many Christians today will face the same issue. So the question becomes how many people in the Christian community actually believe that God could heal an amputee? And even if they believe He can, do they believe He will? Maybe a miracle on this scale never happens because it is largely thought of as an impossible miracle, but the Bible says that with God, all things are possible (Matt. 19:26).
Another interesting theory is that healing an amputee would need to be a miracle of creation and those might be limited to God Himself. Other miracles may require the healing or repairing of what is already there, but an amputee must have the missing appendage completely recreated if the original has been disposed of. If we look at Jesus and the blind men He healed, there are some interesting things to observe that may support this theory. Think of the fact that Jesus healed many blind men throughout the gospels, and take note of the fact that He didn't heal all of them in the same way. Most notably, He healed one of them by making mud with His spit and placing it on his eyes, then telling him to go wash it off in the Pool of Siloam (John 9:1-7). Undoubtedly, Jesus didn't need to do this to perform this miracle, but maybe the use of dirt in that instance was a callback to Genesis or the Creation since God formed man from the dirt of the ground. Maybe it was a sign He was recreating things that weren't there.
We must also remember that God is a person, which means His will is involved. Maybe there's a very particular reason why He doesn't heal amputees. Maybe certain types of healings can only be performed by the Messiah Himself. In the Bible, no one else ever healed a blind person because one of the signs that the Messiah had arrived would be Him restoring sight to the blind (Isaiah 42:6-7). It's also possible that there's some other explanation we simply don't know of. The truth is we can only guess in this regard because, as a person, God's mind is unknowable unless He reveals it, and it doens't appear He's explicitly given an answer to this question. It is, however, safe to say that healing an amputee would most definitely not fall out of the scope of His power.
Your explanation is good

@@relic4948 God does heal amputees actually
What does 'heal' mean? To be healed is not to be confined merely to the regeneration of a missing limb. Is it not also peace of mind? Do we not grow through suffering? Is losing a limb only suffering or can it be more, even to propel us to strength, to be 'healed' of our former listless existence? Ask Nick Vujicic about that.
You're missing the point.
Look, theists often claim that their god heals people. They then point to people they know who used to have cancer, but the cancer went away after they pray. And they use this stuff as evidence, that god has healing powers.
They are NOT talking about "mental healing", they are talking about physical healing. And even more, they are using it as evidence that their god exists, because if he didn't exist, he couldn't heal anybody.
And the question about amputees is here to show how silly this line of "evidence" is.
Because if god actually did use his healing power, to give us evidence for his existence, why would he exclusively heal stuff, which can go into remission naturally? Why wouldn't he heal stuff that CAN'T heal naturally, like amputations?
I don't believe God only exclusively heal stuff that can be healed naturally. I heard that the book Frank Turek is talking about accounted a miracle where a person with removed spleen suddenly had a spleen. Do spleens grow up naturally? I also heard a miracle claim that a person with amputated finger grew up a new finger.
If the two miracle claims above are true, then your question is invalid.
There may be miracles of growing limbs, but obviously many will not believe because even with evidence, they won't believe miracles exist because they assume that miracles are impossible.
This is an answer? Just some evasive drivel about miracles.
Healing an amputated limb would be a miracle. People do not cause miracles, God does. Therefore, it wouldn't make sense to expect a person to be able to coerce God into performing a miracle. Rather, God performs miracles at times like when Moses was telling his revelation and needed credibility
"All miracles are done by God."
So talking to someone who is an ATHEIST...that talking point goes right past him.
Better argument = Regardless of the miracles that may or may not happen around us, whether it was done by magic, God, or physical causes...the cause of a miracle, doesn't disprove God.
We live in a cause and effect universe and those who are misunderstood by the cause and effects of things, doesn't mean certain cause and effects happen.

When are you all going to understand that atheists don’t need to disprove God? The burden of proof is on believers to prove God exists.

An Atheist was talking with God..
"We don't need you anymore, we can make life from dirt just like you."
God replies. "That's awesome...let me see this miracle you've accomplished"

And then he is interrupted by God who says "No, No create your own dirt."
You laugh at miracles you think are small..but you dont have a clue how miraculous they truly are..
You laugh at the speck of sand..but last time I checked..sand/dirt cant be made in a lab by man.
Something so simple cant be replicated and created by man.

There's no new revelation that needs confirmation.
So every time a person is born and grows up to be an adult, that person doesn't need confirmation? He doesn't need to have God come down and personally confirm with him he's real because God already did it 2000 years ago and we should trust the -scribes- -false prophets- -catholics- -protestants- wise men like the OP?
arthurjeremypearson
Basically yea.
Philosophy and history are strong enough to support the truth of the old stories.
With the apologetics about the general revelation of the universe we don’t even need a personal revelation of god imo.
As I understand his comment, he means that the personal confirmation will be from the revelation of the resurrection/salvation, which may be new to the newborn but not new to the world. So, yes, we do need personal knowledge of God and Jesus/Yeshua Christ because we “must be born again.” “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3 NKJV.
I pray, “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.” Ephesians 1:17-23 NKJV
Grace and peace be unto you ❤️
Good answer Frank.
What about it just being the right thing to heal, to do good? Isn’t that what Jesus said? “Is it better to do good on the Sabbath, or evil? To save a life or to destroy it?” When did God give up on doing good?
The answer is because you can't fake amputee healings
you can't fake a tumor disappearing either

So much for all sick people today.
Contrary to the Joel Osteen crowd God healed the sick to do demonstrate what he can do when HE so chooses. The main focus of God based upon his Word i.e. the bible is to be concerned about your eternal security or the blessed hope not to hope in this present time. See Job for instance.

@@genebaker6964 I do. First of all you seem be knowing everything about a God that never appears or talks; I fear people like you. Then, I could never love a God that standing along the border while his people die. In the best case he is useless; worst, he is a monster.

Good day and good luck with your search.
1: I think it's fair to say that God does do miracles, not to impress the saints, but to impact sinners! 2: Also, if God fixed everyones physical and let's say financial woes the moment they get saved, where would their level of faith be? The scriptures say "without faith it is impossible to please God..." He would end up with a bunch of spoilt brats without the spiritual grit to grow in faith and obedience to Him.
TeknixTrix no that ain’t fair to say
If a doctor cured someone's blindness they would be eternally grateful to them and have faith in what they can do forever, how exactly would the spoilt brat situation come up?

Miraculously, miracles stopped occurring about the time people gained the ability to document, record, verify and challenge them. What a coincidence!
What a purpose behind! I have seen amazing miracles, but curiously, sometimes the visible ones, or the ones that can make everyone to believe, do not happen (Sometimes again). Anyway Bible says that our prove of Jesus being the son of God is his resurrection.
" Joan Murray is a skydiver who survived falling from a height of 14,500 feet. ... On September 25, 1999, she went on a skydive from 14,500 feet. Her main parachute could not open.. " --- If this is not a Miracle, you can recreate the fall and report back what will happen to you.
There are miracles that occur today and I'm one of them. My back was out, as in my L4 disk out of my lower back, preventing me from walking properly and on Father's day 2017, I was healed after getting prayer at my church. My faith increased big time and most importantly my relationship with Christ has improved; not to mention that living in sin, which was probably part of my injury was abandoned by me, with God's help ofcourse.

It's almost as if the human conscious is greatly opposed to God and He hides himself
The wages of sin is death. Unless we are here and survive to the end then we will all collect our wages in this life.
Jesus saved us to make us perfect for the life after this one. How can we learn to embrace a life without sin if we do not endure the trials of this life?
We all enter this world, we all leave this world. Is it so hard to believe that the body is nothing more than a vessel, a biological machine, that connects the eternal spirit to this realm?
If God created our universe to begin with and designed all that physically exists and did exist in it, then surely we can all be made whole and perfect in eternity. It does not mean it will happen in this life just because we would prefer it.
People have a struggle to let go of "control" in this life. That has been the common denominator throughout human history. We try to manipulate the things that we don't like about reality, never successful.
The truth is that whether or not you believe in a divine supernatural creator, you definitely are not being honest with yourself if you won't at least admit that we mortals have control over nothing in this world.
God has no duties and no responsibilities.
That's part of what it means to be God.

The problem here is non believers think that all miracles are big like parting of the seas or a fiery bush. God puts his influence on everyone everyday , most are to blinded to see .

I think you need something to replace the lost hand or leg whatever the amputee part is. If you think about it... Jesus needed water in order to turn it into wine. Devil told Jesus to turn rock into bread if he was hungry. Maybe the reason modern day miracles can't heal the amputees is because nobody is using anything to replace the hand.
He didn't answer the question. Do you believe miracles still happen or not? And if you do why aren't amputees healed by prayer or miracles? It's a simple freaking question
It would serve no purpose because non-believers would simply try to make up some scientific explanation for why it happened.
Pinhead Atheist false. I would readily admit the existance of a god if I saw someone pray for an amputee and his arm grew back. I'd believe in an instant. But that never happens. When "god heals someone" it's really modern medicine succeeding at it's job and god getting the credit. It's never something that modern medicine can't do.

Le Rational SkepticTM It would be hard for even the most inveterate atheist to deny something very extreme, such as instant limb regeneration, humans flying like Superman, ect.
Miracles were great during the time Moses, Noah and Jesus walked on our planet. Materializing food, reanimating dead corpses, parting a large body of water, flooding that exceeded 28 thousand feet in height and people living for centuries.
What do we get today? "God cured my cancer, helped me find my car keys, reduced my sadness, and 'just look at a tree and tell me miracles aren't occurring'".
I would absolutely admit something very odd, even supernatural was occurring if your deity went back to using old school miracles.
Le Rational SkepticTM I would absolutely think something paranormal was occurring. Skeptics aren't exactly known for having paranormal beliefs. And why shouldn't we try and test that which has been observed?
I think the real issue is that neither you or your deity can produce anything closely resembling a miracle.
Le Rational SkepticTM I can admit there are things science will probably never be able to explain. It's not arrogant to try and see if something claimed as miraculous can be understood by the scientific method. Theists on the other hand exude arrogance. They know who made the universe, all matter, consciousness and time. On top of that they claim to be best friends with the entity responsible. Pot, meet kettle. Skeptics don't take the position that everything is or can be known and understood. Goddidit.
Let's see somebody materialize food. I'll gladly admit that such an occurrence would be supernatural. Or spontaneous limb regeneration. There aren't any evolutionary biologists who could explain that away. I'm from Missouri, the Show Me state. So by all means, show me some miracles.
Le Rational SkepticTM Also, without my "deity" you and I wouldn't be chatting right now.
Le Rational SkepticTM I was simply pointing out that the scientific method is responsible for luxuries which allow us to communicate.
I can understand why the church wouldn't want pesky skeptics hovering over their shoulders. Having a miracle debunked is terrible pr for those who operate on faith; and we all know the comfort blankets that theists drag around are very important for their sanity. Meanwhile, theists are free to join any STEM field they desire. Francis Collins has freedom of religion and scientific inquiry. I would never wish to exclude him from scientific investigation. "Religious bigotry!", shouted the theists.
You may not claim all the answers, but you and many other religions claim to know much more than any skeptic I've met. How nice it must be to have a direct line of communication with the entity who started everything. Perhaps you can arrange a meeting on Hangouts where we may all have the chance to greet your elusive, invisible deity.
Now show me limb regeneration on a human being. You're a master at dodging. If you can't, then enjoy having the final word. I'm out. Praise Allah, Poseidon, Thor, Ra, Horus, Shiva, and the thousands of other deities you willfully reject, sinner. Just one more to whittle away and we can become atheist buddies. It'll be fun. We'll go around killing, raping, torturing, enslaving, etc. I've got an extra brown shirt if you know what I mean. ;)
Frank dodged the question. First the question is wrongly worded to put the blame on God. God isn't to blame or unwilling or unable to heal. I think the reasons are lack of faith. Also it's not a healing but a regeneration. Most people don't have the kind of faith that can make this possible so they'll only see miracles at their level of faith. Two, the amputee may not hav the faith to believe for his miracle. Can you believe God for him to heal you of persistent migraine? If not how would you be able to believe him for a limb to grow out. Faith grows. Before David had the faith to conquer Goliath, he had conquered a lion and a bear. His faith grew.
Peoples need to stop thinking that God is a fairy that gives a gifts to anyone who wants that.
So you have a christian and a hindu, both suffer stage 4 cancer.
The Hindu prays to his gods.

Once again he doesn't answer the question put to him.
Well, he usually has decent answers, and I'm an agnostic atheist
he did. his answer was, healing an amputee is a miracle, miracles are done by God, miracles are done in order to confirm new revelation, there is no new revelation that needed confirmation, therefore God doesn't heal amputees.
to add to his answer from a reformed point of view, God doesn't heal amputees because (1) God decreed to be so, and we have no right nor the ability to judge God's decree (2) when you ask this question, you have a presupposition that being an amputee means sickness that needs healing, from your humanistic perspective; but God may not see that a sickness, or a sickness that needs healing. (3) God decrees people to become amputees in order that his glory may be displayed through these people. Same theology applies to all sickness and disasters; God allows evil/bad things to happen in order that through the falleness of man and the world, His glory might be on display.
He replied. He didn't answer.

In Evan Almighty, it’s depicted that if God said Yes to all prayers, the world would fall apart and burn. People ask for things to be healed or fixed with no answer. God always has a reason for not doing things right away. Whether you like it or not, he’s our father and a good father doesn’t say yes to everything his children wants.

We aught to read learn and advance science to find a cure and in the process marvel on God’s impeccable creation. Between the absolute knowledge of everything and the need to work hard to learn, laugh and cry get sick and healthy love and hate only a fool choses the former. Only with the opposites and the continuous test to be our own best version that Life and creation has a meaning.
You are just close minded
So the good news of the gospel is now somehow that who ever believes in Jesus, will then have an extraordinary life without sickness or pain, and if so, any prayers will heal a person from any sickness or trouble by just commanding God in prayer to heal and he is never allowed to say no at all..?
Isnt the fact that miricles happens rarely why we call them miricles in the first place? And when it happens it cant be explained?
Even of all people would be healed, we all would still had sinned. There is not a single person who is good, not even one, only God is good, we all fall short at the glory of god.
The point of the question is that there’s been a lot of ‘faith healing’ in the past 2 centuries and whether or not you think it’s a true Christian thing or false, the point is, the few times that “God” actually decides to do a miracle, he only seems to heal or cure things that can also be cured naturally.
How do we know those things aren’t going away naturally?
Why doesn’t an “all powerful” god ever do unambiguous miracles so they won’t be mistaken for anything else?
It’s not to say that he’s never done it in the Bible (sure: Peter; ear) and it has nothing to do with “why isn’t “God” doing more healing/miracles?” OR “why doesn’t he make everything in our lives perfect?”

So what if God chooses not to heal amputees.. would it make any difference?.. you'll still have haters, still have people waging war against God. Read the bible and you'll hear plenty of miracles performed by Jesus, and they still crucified him. God is more concerned about our hearts.. a clean loving heart Will get you into heaven, not a complete perfect healthy body.
I had a conversation with an atheist once who said that the only way he could be convinced of God's existence was if he personally saw God descend from heaven in all His glory. At that point, he would believe that God exists, but would hate Him for all the bad things in the Bible and that have been done in God's name. No amount of miraculous healings are going to convince people like that.
*So what if God chooses not to heal amputees.. would it make any difference?*
YES!!!
Of course!!!
Think about it! It would make ALL the difference!
After all, according to believers, god heals all kind of stuff all the time. Cancer. Fever. Head ackes. All the time, apparently!
And yet, it's always stuff that can disappear spontanously, naturally! It's always stuff, where his "healing" is indistinguishable from naturally occring recovery!
But amputated limbs growing back... that doesn't happen spontanously and naturally!
So, yes, if god could heal stuff that can't happen naturally, then we would have actual EVIDENCE for something that god has done, rather than just believers attributing naturally occuring things to their god!
So, OF COURSE it would make a difference! A huge one!
So, why doesn't he?
Kayle Kroeker exactly my friend, plenty of people witnessed God's power in the old testament right through to the new and they still refused to repent, some did but not all.
*plenty of people witnessed God's power in the old testament right through to the new and they still refused to repent, some did but not all.*
Hey, then why not make miracles FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WOULDN'T?!?
Also, if you honestly believe that a miracle, like a re-growing of a limb, would not cause HUGE numbers of people to get convinced of the existence of a god, then you are delusional!
OF COURSE such miracles would make a difference!
So, why would go only "heal" people in a way that is indistinguisable from natural cures? Why "heal" cancer in a rate that is impossible to tell apart from natural remissions, while not ONCE heal a lost limb?
I do NOT believe you, that you believe your own excuse here! I give you more credit than that, to be honest. Because your explanation makes no sense, and even you know it on some level, I'm sure.

Frank, thanks for your commitment to the truth and to arming Christians with good answers. On this point, I have to disagree. Miracles are needed now as much as ever, and God is just as willing to do them. So many people, even in America, have not yet heard the simple gospel. Jesus promised to confirm the word with accompanying signs, and He does. The church doesn't see more miracles because most preachers don't have faith for them (few preachers have ever seen them on a large scale). But I've found that God can make quick work of a school, a business, or even a whole city with one bold witness who is willing to pray for the sick and take the heat for boldly proclaiming the gospel. I have over 160 healing testimonies from a six-week period, and I would be glad to answer any questions you have about it.

I was thinking; shouldn't it be more about the guy or girl getting their limb back rather than revelation of confirmation but I feel like God would say something like It's more about their soul and eternity than it is about them receiving their limb back.

Miracles do happen but they're not the main objective Jesus demonstrated that by ignoring the disciples when they came back rejoicing after performing miracles He reminded them to rejoice because their names where written in the Lamb's book of life. God is more concerned about a human soul than our physical appearance.
Yeah Frank is mostly wrong on this one.
Miracles occur because people believe in them.
God hasn't changed, He's still the God that can and does heal; and Jesus said that His disciples will do even greater works than He did.
When Jesus went around healing people it wasn't just because of some sort of confirmation it was because He believed that He had the power to heal and those that came to Him believed that He had the power to heal, a prime example is the woman with the issue of blood; she is the only one among the people thronging Jesus who got healed, and confirmation had nothing to do with it, her faith healed her.
Miraculous healings don't take place because people don't believe in them.
This preacher talks like a politician
How?
isnt life a miracle or you reading novels and remembering them good enough!!!
Do all athiests have British accents or is it fake so that they sound more intelligent?
the famous ones at least
in other words, healing the blind and sick wasn't truly an altruistic act of God, but rather a self-serving one?
Yes that's exactly right....Jesus didn't come to end suffering he said it himself that he was not sent to end suffering but too offer a path to god he even says in turn that because of me you will have father agaisnt sons brothers agaisnt sister...he knew that his existence and beliefs would cause a stir among the people and so to prove he was god he had to prove as with self serving belief to others that he is who he says he is. If he wanted to save the world he could heal everyone but that's just a temporary fix where he offers a permanent solution. And btw Jesus did heal an amputee the Roman shoulder came to arrest him there was an altercation and a Roman got his ear cut off then Jesus proceeds to revive his ear
Rock climbing anyone
Jesus healed an amputee. If He can do it then He can do it now. 'Yesterday, today and forever'.
Do you believe any of the modern-day claims of amputee-healing are valid? If so, which ones? If not, why not?
Please cite chapter and verse
Rob Jesus healed the soldier when peter cut his ear off. Can’t remember the verse. But an ear sliced off counts as amputation
Only Luke specifies that Jesus healed that ear, and under NT scholarship, that's grounds for thinking he is embellishing, since this is a great miracle the other canonical authors wouldn't likely have "chosen to exclude", thus their exclusion of it more likely means they didn't know Jesus healed that ear.
And it wouldn't matter anyway: an eyewitness to Benny Hinn's healings from the front row could tell you next week that they saw him healing others by the power of God, yet you'd strongly suspect that their eyewitness status doesn't do shit to increase the likelihood that they understood correctly what they were viewing.
And you are surely aware that the only time we hear about modern reports of restored human limbs by the power of God, is in circumstances where comprehensive investigation is nearly impossible.
I really wish Christian apologists would shut the fuck up about all this trifling bullshit and PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS AND NAME SOME MIRACLE-CLAIM FROM THE LAST 100 YEARS AS TRUE.
My feeling is that the reason apologists feel more comfortable carping from the sidelines about gospel reliability and methodological flaws in naturalism, than they do about naming the modern-day miracle they think is actually true, is because they fear once they DO put their money where their mouth is and pick one modern-day miracle-claim they say can only be best explained by God, they will have their ass handed to them shortly after the ensuing investigation. Put up or shut up.

Rob asked for chapter and verse of Jesus healing an amputee.
However, because of your belligerence, total lack of manners and foul language directed at me in your comment, I refuse to get into a discussion on this. Suffice to say, Luke is as valid a gospel as any of the others and is just as inspired by God.
All miracles if not most were done through faith. If one doesn’t have faith they can’t be healed, what is the use of trying to heal. The sick, the blind, the lame were healed for their “faith”.
I believe we do need a new revelation because we still have non-believers these days.
Yeah! They are called sceptics. Why doesn't your God just show himself to all humanity? That would end the argument once and for all. Why does he let his devout followers embarrass themselves with horrible arguments like those on display here? There's an obvious answer.
Hint: the invisible, the undetectable and the non-existent appear and act the same.
@@zaatheist he can't show himself to people they'd die no man has seen God and lived
@@marcellofunhouse1234 Who told you that? The same people who told to believe in an invIsible god, l suppose. Anyway you god does not show himself when claims are made he cured a cancer or other hidden ailment. So their is surely no reason for him to appear to reattach an amputated leg: Fact is that your god is just another trick to get people to give them money for telling fantastic stories ........ Llies
