Christians: with all the prayers being answered every day ...?

Question

surely there is at least one documented case of an amputee spontaneously re-growing a limb after fervent prayer.

Properly documented, this would be enough to convince most of us Doubting Thomases. Can someone provide the documentation please?

I am waiting to believe!!!

Answer 1

I understand that there was quite a bit of such documentation concerning John G. Lake's ministry as well as Oral Roberts. It would be interesting to ask for such from ORU or the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.

Answer 2

Please ignore what Greg T said... I am sure he/she is just a troll. And as for whomever gave him thumbs up is most definitely a hypocritical Christian. No one should applaud him for such vulgar language.

To answer your question, I have not heard of any documented case where an amputee spontaneously re-grew a limb. But I am almost positive that if there were some kind of proof of this, many of you would still choose not to believe, and would find other means of explaining such a thing.

I am sure you are an educated person, so I don't understand why you waste your time trying to mock and ridicule those who believe. If a so-called Christian has bashed you, then take it up with them, but please stop making fun of all of us. It's very immature.

Answer 3

Hang on! There are countless documented miracles that the Catholic Church has recorded. If you haven't believed them, why would you believe a new one?

By the way, there is a miracle that was recorded by atheists and published in the secular atheist press in Portugal in 1917, viz., the "miracle of the sun" at Fatima. It was reported, by atheists, that that the sun danced around in the sky and then plumetted towards the earth etc. etc.

"Google" it, and you can actually find the accounts in the newspapers of the day --- or better still, go to Portugal and look in the archives for yourself. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to post information of how atheists reported a miracle that day in 1917. By the way, many atheists were converted that day. ;)

Answer 4

If a person re-growing a limb would convince you, then you are not looking to become a true believer.

Just because you don't see something, doesn't mean it isn't real and exists. Sometimes believing is not seeing, just knowing.

I know a lady that had malignant breast cancer. I saw the films myself and viewed the huge masses that were growing in her. Two days before she went in for another procedure, several ladies from church prayed fervently over her. The second films taken showed absolutely no masses of cancer at all. This was several years ago. She is now a faithful attender in church and a fervent believer in Christ. When she first came to church, she was told she had this cancer, and wasn't given much hope for survival. She basically wanted to die and go to heaven, that's why she came to church. Now she serves faithfully, and is grateful that God touched and healed her body.

Answer 5

There are plenty of miracles that have happened documented and undocumented. God doesn't do tricks like a dog would jumping through hoops.

I was sick for 3 and a half years, a Christian minister prayed for me. The next day I was healed. I would shout my love for God over the mountaintops!

You need to do your homework about God-go to the list of saints in wikipedia. There are a ton of miraculous stories if you have the time. He does things in his own time.

Answer 6

Any born again believer in Christ will,after he or she dies, have a new resurrected body for eternity (after the Rapture ,that is. They'll be in spirit form until then) These new bodies will forever be free of disease or pain and will have every lost limb they might have had on earth,restored. Even believers who have been cremated will have new bodies in heaven one day. If God can make man out of dust,He can surely restore our bodies for eternity.
I realize I'm not directly answering your question. This is because life as we know it on earth,even if one lives to be 100,is only temporary. It is but a blink of an eye compared to eternity.
Jesus is coming soon. The question remains, is He coming for you?

Answer 7

"Do you know of anyone who has prayed for such?"

ROFLOL. I can't believe that was an actual answer. I guess we lost then. No one, and I mean no one, has EVER prayed for a limb to grow back, or for an eye that was ripped out of its socket to heal. No one has EVER prayed for these things, because these things were never cured. It all makes perfect sense!

Yes, that was sarcastic. The only time a prayer is said to work, is when something can happen on its own (cancers go into remission and the like). Growing a new arm, having Terry Schiavo's brain grow back ... these things never happen. The theist has to come up with some ridiculous (and stupid) reason for why amputee prayers and brain dead patient prayers never work, but cancer prayers sometimes do.

Answer 8

Some people claim that they would believe in God or His work if they were able to receive a sign. But faith does not come by signs; it comes through the Holy Ghost as individuals study the scriptures and prayerfully seek to learn the plan of God. The Lord revealed, "Faith cometh not by signs, but signs follow those that believe." Such signs are given to those who are faithful and obedient to strengthen them in their faith and to help them carry out the will of God.

Because signs are associated with faithfulness, nonbelievers often mock believers with requests for a sign. In tempting Jesus Christ, Satan made this mocking request, as did those who crucified the Christ. Jesus taught, "An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign." Signs are not given to produce faith but to confirm faith and to bless the faithful.

Answer 9

But what the devil has physically taken away, the spirit of Christ replaces with love and forgiveness.

but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love

Answer 10

Keep waiting. There is none.
There are more ways to be healed other than physically.

You jest. You know very well that no amputee has ever grown back a limb. No one would ever pray for such a thing to happen. One can pray that the amputee be healed in spirit.
One can pray that an amputee be provided with a prosthetic limb.

You would not believe because you do not want to. Your heart is hard. You will forever be a doubting Thomas. You have no faith in anything or in anyone other than yourself.
