Why Doesnt God Heal Amputees

[Coolhand]

I dont think he really addresses the issue, but rather uses it to segway to other talking points:

 

[Jonathan H. B. Lobl]

There is a transition.  It begins with God not healing amputation.  It progress to God lacking powers of persuasion.  The unspoken assumption, is that persuading people of God's reality, is the only reason to heal an amputation.  God could heal an amputation, but people still wouldn't believe, so it's not worth doing.

 

I despise apologists.

Yeah a lot of  my Christian friends argue the need for apologetics. 

 

My questions are usually:

 

"Do we really need to defend God and the Bible"?

 

And

 

"Are you the best He's got?"

 

.....lol.....

I mean this as a real question.  Does God need defending?  In what way is God vulnerable?

 

It seems to me that both Christians and Muslims fall into this same trap.  A God that needs protection isn't that big a deal.

That is exactly what I meant by that. If God is "omni" this and "omni" that.....He can defend himself better than I can.
