At lourdes in France where miracles are suposed to have taken place why are there no prosthetic limbs such as hands arms legs etc. Why is there no record of anyone receiving a new limb after amputation ?

Are you really going to believe any answer that anyone gives on this one?
Or are you just trying to say that miracles don't happen?

That sort of miracle doesn't happen because it is impossible. In ancient times, it was possible to perform impossible miracles because most people were a little unclear on what was and was not possible. However, the only miracles that God performs nowadays are the kind that you only think are miracles if you have a lot of faith. It's another example of him testing us, just like the fake dinosaur bones.
Or sometimes he does miracles if they are really, really important, like putting the face of Jesus on a grilled cheese sandwich.

I am learning that miracles come about because of need. It's arguable that somone who is missing a limb truly "needs" it back. They can still survive without it. True, it would be nice to have, but there are a lot of things that are nice to have.
In western society, we seldom see miracles because we have everything we need. We don't see miracles because we don't leave room for them.

Miracles do happen, but there has to be faith involved. Think about the blind people who have been made to see again, or the deaf or lame who have been healed. Just because there are things that haven't happened doesn't mean that the others are negated.

It has happened. See the link below.. Sadly, religious freaks deemed this to be an abomination, so they quickly quelled it. Religious people are so funny sometimes...

You think that if it hasn't happened in France it hasn't happened at all. Pretty narrow scope.

Maybe it wasn't necessary... God truly is the only one who knows. Everything that is done is for his glory... Only God has the mind of God, we are not supposed to understand everything.

It not our job to question God, as to why something does or don't happen.

Apparently this only happens on INVASION.
