If God cannot regenerate amputated limbs or extracted eyes, why should anyone believe God can raise the dead?

Answer 1

Apparently, some christians believe that god can do anything, but haven't researched the failure of the power of prayer on regenerating limbs.

From my research, that alleged power has failed to regenerate any limbs. If any christian has a case to refute my research, I challenge them to produce it. Show me a case where a limb was amputated and it was regenerated because someone prayed to their god for it.

Without any such case, there is no evidence that god can do this.

Answer 2

He, God, gives us the freewill to decide to believe in Him whether He decides to regenerate amputated limbs and raise the dead or not. He would not be God of Love if He took away our right to choose Him freely, to choose Him whether He performed great things for us or not. The greater question is can we believe He loves us if He does not regenerate an amputated limb, restores sight to extracted eyes or raise a dead loved one.

Answer 3

Who says God can't regenerate amputated limbs or extracted eyes? He parted the Red Sea, protected Israel from its enemies, as Jesus he healed countless numbers and performed amazing miracles. Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean He can't. The second part of your quesiton is easily answered in the Bible; Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead and a couple of children as well. After the four gospels you encounter the disciples raising people from the dead. It's all there in the Bible, I recommend doing some research on your own though.

Answer 4

I have heard testimonies of Him doing all of these things.
One particular testimony came from a medical doctor who examined a young girl before the proclamation of the Gospel at a T.L. Osborn campaign in Africa. He testifies he examined the girl before the meeting because she was a medical curiosity to him. She not only was missing an eye, but the eye socket was filled in by a mass of bone. He testifies that during the preaching of the Gospel message, God hollowed out that eye socket and gave that young girl a new eye.
It is said of one preacher of the Gospel who lived from around 1860 to 1948, that during the course of his ministry an estimated 19 people were raised from the dead through his ministry, including his own wife. His name was Smith Wigglesworth. Recently an African man was raised from the dead during the preaching of the word through the ministry of Reinhard Bonnke. I have read of many other instances attested by reputable ministers of the Gospel.

Answer 5

He was able to pull off creating this entire universe, including you, so I doubt very seriously that He would have much trouble regenerating amputated limbs. Have you ever got down on your knees and sincerely asked him do anything? You would be amazed at what He can do.

Answer 6

And what makes you think that God can not regenerate limbs? Just because you haven't seen him do it.....

Answer 8

God can do anything. That includes regenerating limbs. We are simply much to small and unable to see the larger picture to know why he chooses not to.

Answer 9

Why are you assuming He can't?

I have heard many stories of those types of miracles.
I have also seen and experienced physical healing in my life and the lives of those around me.
Things like:

3rd degree burns healed in a matter of hours
Celiac disease disappearing
Legs that were too short lengthening to match the other one
Tumours diasappearing
Cysts disappearing
Advanced cancer disappearing
Deaf people hearing

I think though, that we all know it doesn't matter what any of us Christians say...you will either assume we are lying or too stupid to possibly be rational so what is the point of discussing it further? Why bother asking at all?

Answer 10

What makes you think He can't? In third world countries where the Gospel is being preached--and received --they are seeing these kinds of miracles take place. (Don't know of anyone being raised from the dead though.)
