How does god feel about any surgery? Im not talking about plastic surgery. Im talking about when youre shoulder has a torn rotator cuff and needs surgery to fix it and if you don't it can pop out of place and cause you pain sometimes. Or if you break your leg and if you dont get it reset it could heal wrong. What if your jaw gets cracked and if your mouth isnt wired shut for 2 months it could heal wrong and lead to problems. What about those surgeries? How does god feel about those?

Mark 2:17
When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

I believe God inspired scientist and doctors with the means to provide us with better medical treatments. I believe that we should treat our bodies as temples and do our best to stay healthy. When medical attention is needed, I think it's okay.
However, elective plastic surgery would be tampering with the master piece already created by God. Reconstruction due to accidents or even birth defects is acceptable. But wanting a new nose or breasts because you're not happy with what God gave you - I don't think the Lord would be pleased.

Well, since God did not create surgery, he must think that it is evil. It is the same thing about abortion, for example. You can bring up the point to Christians that God created everything which would include abortion, but they will state he created everything at the beginning, but abortion was the creation of the devil. So, that must mean that God only created for the 6 days and then everything else was created by the Devil, so that means surgery must be bad. Or if God did create past the 6 days, then God would have created all medical procedures, including surgery and abortion. Christians just like to in their minds pick and choose what God did or didn't, somehow talking for an all powerful, all creating, all knowing being. That must suck for God to have imperfect creatures pretending to assume that they know what he created or didn't, especially since he created it all.
Kind of like the baker, who creates all the ingredients, puts them together, bakes the whole cake, ices it. Christians would state that the baker being all creating, all knowing, all powerful, would have made the whole cake, just not the bad parts that make you fat. That fat was made by the candle stick maker down the street, somehow.

I don't think God is pleased with plastic surgery for pure vanity (as opposed to reconstructive surgery, as you mentioned.) God created us and our bodies are his temple. I don't think that piercings or tattoos are very acceptable in his eyes, either, but I'd be inclined to think that he'd prefer an ear piercing (which is easily removed and leaves little scarring) to something as permanent as a tattoo or as irreversible as a face lift, as examples. I know that many forms of body alteration (from piercings, to tattoos, to surgery) are okay according to our society, but I don't think that a Christian should indulge in those things because they are an insult to God and they do deface the body that God gave us.

If god created the doctors too, why didn't he create them right at the beginning? Why wait thousands of years for a halfway efficient health care to develop? Why not teach Adam how to cure cancer? Why wait until Pasteur or Koch were born to tell them the secret about bacterial pathogens?

if its broken fix it, or have some one else fix it. Jesus healed, he didn't ue surgery but he healed. Luke was a doctor, he probably did surguries. I don't think God would like bleedings b/c blood is ur life so draining it out would be wrong.

God gave us doctors for a reason.
As I see it; God allows man to learn how to fix and repair the human body for a reason and He expects us to use what He has given us. He gave the knowledge to all because He really does care for all mankind.
However for those things that are not yet under man's control, He than offers to us His healing grace, a.k.a. miracles.

God gave men the abilities to do surgery, & we should avail ourselves of them, when we need them.
Yes, God CAN supernaturally heal us, but more often than not, He shows His glory through those He has given these abilities!

I know of some Christian surgeons who pray, before performing any surgery, asking God to guide their hand.

God works many miricles some that include doctors. how else can you explain how the first doctors knew what they did? God has blessed many doctors with great knowledge on the human body and how to fix it.
