Miracles - Why does God not heal people with malformed limbs?

Question

Does anyone have any evidence (demonstrable evidence) of someone whose incomplete limbs were made whole by faith healing? I have heard arguments against God healing amputees because their limbs were taken because of human choices.

But for people who have a genetic (intelligent?) design faults and have been born without fully formed limbs... isn't that valid for healing, just as Jesus healed the blind who were born that way?

Remember, with God, all things are possible. St. Peter walked on water, simply by his faith.

Added fact. I am not an atheist.

For those who have answered who have started their replies with "God can't..." You have just limited God. God is omnipotent, right? Without limits on abilities.

Answer 1

Yes, my nephew had bowed legs when he was born. At about 3 the Dr's were comtemplating breaking both legs to correct.

We had him prayed for and anointed as it specifies in the Word. His legs straightened under his mother's hands.

All on x-ray... before and after. He is a sturdy 6'3" man. Never a problem again with his legs...

Answer 2

He could...but what if He does not?

Why does He not heal the children from cancer?
Why does He not stop the adulterer from ruining his marriage?

The questions can go on and on.

The fact is, life is not fair...God never said it should be or was. What is fair about sending your own Son to die for everyone else's sins?

The point is, no matter what our lot in life, God is worthy to be praised. We ought to give Him thanksgivings in both blessed and difficult times. Our faith should not depend upon our circumstances.

Think, too, of it this way...why would a God who loves us so much allow us to stay seperated from Him in a cursed world full of sin? Some He calls home sooner than others. The faithful are to be aliens in a stange land, eagerly seeking the Lord's return.

Regardless of our lot in life, the peace from Jesus that passes understanding, and the hope of Christ, can be with each one of us. THat is a real testimony of faith.

Sometimes I think our modern day pastors paint God like a big fuzzy teddy bear just waiting to serve your every need as you see fit. I think the love-only message twists our full understanding of God. Duet. 32:39 is an excellent passage, where God tells us that He is in control of all. He owns all. He gives life and takes it. He heals and He wounds. When we can get our mind around a living God that wounds and kills, I think we will learn alot more about our God. All that He does is perfect and right...we need to try and understand. Maybe what we think is bad is really not bad at all. Maybe the potter makes pots of all shapes and sizes to do His will in very unique ways.

For example, is sacrificing to take care of your aging parents a negative thing; or, are your parents still serving God by giving you a moment to care for them, storing up riches for you in heaven?

Answer 3

Jesus healed malformed limbs in the Bible, replaced fully an ear that was cut off, and raised people from the dead. Jesus is God.

Answer 4

People want to see magic only for material benefit. That is called miracles. "A doctor is very expensive. Let us go to to some one who can play miracles, and my disease will be cured."
When you go to college or school, you want to see miracles or you want learn from books of knowledge?
God never said that you go to a healer who can perform miracles and cure you or "I will perform miracles that you believe in Me."
God says go to someone who has known the truth, not to a jugglers, magician.
In every scripture we find an injunction comparable to the Biblical commandment "Thou shall not kill." And yet we see that the so-called followers of Jesus are themselves the most expert killers. They fight doggedly in political wars and kill millions of helpless animals in slaughterhouses. They may try to justify their atrocities through theological word jugglery, but if God Himself has outlawed killing, then how can they be constantly engaged in it? Today's so-called religionists may pay lip service to adages like "God is great," "God is love," and so on, but they have little or no knowledge of God. Otherwise, they wouldn't act the way they do.

Answer 5

Yes, there are examples in the Bible of Jesus healing those with malformed or crippled limbs.

Answer 6

look for a website, dont know the exact link...

why does god hate amputees . com

or something like that. What about the children that are born deformed? Does god just hate them? Does he want them to grow up being taunted my other school children?? Being stared at for the rest of their lives???

Mean god!

even lizards can regenerate a tail!!

Answer 7

God can't heal what genetics gave you. If God's making healing housecalls, can he come to my house and give me naturally blonde hair, bigger boobs and a smaller waist?

Answer 8

Many healed, even brought back from dead,
later on died, and received not the promise.

Let us focus on "Christ is the end of the law",
since all dis-ease & dis-comfort is law based;
Not to mention law is the ministration of death.

There is no dis-ease (law) in Christ is our "peace".
There is no dis-comfort in "the God of all comfort".
There is no law vs law at all in "the God of all grace".
There is no partiality at all in "no respect of persons".

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 9

God hates the malformed.

Answer 10

This question is usually asked by the atheist crowd.
Instead of these atheists blaming a faulty evolutionary process.. why do they blame a God they don't believe in?

Humans do not have the answers to every question about the human body. If you want these sort of answers... you should become closer to God and accept Jesus as your savior.

God will reveal all of his answers in the end.

If you disobey God. You will never know these answers to lifes most demanding questions.
