@babagnoni; i don't know where you stand because you seem to be leaning on the fence of it's impossible while i am of the believe that not all the 'Doing' of God in human is appreciated or realized by all men, hence the proposition of this thread. the knowledge of replicating the limp [prosthesis, transplant] are from God. like freewill, God provides it and allows man to activate it. it is the good intention of good action of man that benefits.

@RoyPCain

RoyPCain, what the OP asked, from the on-set, was: "Is It Impossible For God To Grow Back Amputated Limbs?"

whatofyou, rightly pointed out, and note, it was not flesh and blood that directed him to it,

that God, at one time,
in Luke 22:47-51; picked up a freshly cut-off ear, reattaches it back healed

- God DID NOT grow the ear back
or grow back amputated limb(s) for that matter

The preceding, above, is partly why, my stand was, God is not in the business of directly or personally growing back amputated limbs

Reiterating, when it comes to achieving this miracle and others (e.g. GROWING back amputated limbs, growing back any or all of the 32 adult permanent teeth et cetera) it is going to be realised via people (i.e. man) in the medical field, sector or arena

With this arrangement, it will be well within the confines of God abiding by His word or rule(s), one of which is:
Let them, man; have dominion, take dominion over the earth; dominion as in control et cetera

It is man's call or challenge, to grow back amputated limb, not God's,

and this miracle can or will happen, inasmuch, as man's spirit is willing, and the body is not weak.

next time you want to post christian questions do your own research bf hand. But you just want to debate. In your mind your
stance is to automatically doubt.
In essence you are askg if God will prove himself to doubters and sceptics BEYOND ALL REASONABLE DOUBT.
He won't. He'll give you all the oppurtinity to doubt His existence and some to believe. The choice is up to u.
If u saw limbs grow back bf ur eyes , will you believe? Not necessarily.
You think you will,but you will most likely not.
In the bible God parted the red sea - a spectacular miracle- and his people walked on dry ground.
Did the isrealites forever never doubt God?
No.
When it was time to take the choice land God got for them, they wailed tht the giants in d land wud swallow them. What of the God who delivered them from the then world super power,egypt?
The isrealites threatened to stone
the only two ppl who dared say otherwise-tht God wud help them defeat the giants.
In the new testament, the disciples of Jesus saw him walk on water,heard him say over and over tht He wud rise from the dead. Women ran from the tomb after his resurrection sayg the tomb is empty and tht they spoke with Jesus- did they believe?
People who followed Jesus around day and night for 3 years+?
Did they?
Their condition for believg can b summed up in d words of thomas - he wanted physcal evidence. Words were not enuff for him.
To believe it had to b verifiable by one or more of his five senses.
Sounds familiar?
The definition of reality and truth to the atheist and science is subject to verifcation of the 5-senses.
When Jesus entered room much later on he especially rebuked d disciple who believed only if subject to d five senses.
And he said the words to d effect tht does who believe without seeing , just words only, are the blessed ones.
God's modus operandi hasnt changed.by faith... . See hebrews 11 for more.
God wrks by and thru faith. And faith is the opposite of physcal forehand proof.
Can God heal an amputee?
You want physcal proof. The answer is a word. He has given his word ,in the bible on questions like this, the issue is what d inquirer will do with it,d word.

I've performed a few amputations myself and dealt with dozens of amputees. I've also read literature by other doctors involving hundreds of thousands of amputations over the last hundred years or so. Let me assure you that there has never been a single recorded case of an amputated limb growing back anywhere.

Most of the patients I've dealt with personally have looked for spiritual solutions either before of after the surgery. Not a single person has found one. Those who go to the big churches like redeemed and Christ embassy looking for healing always get diverted away from the main stage (along with other people with obvious physical deformities) whenever the pastor does his healing altar call. The only people who ever get “healed" on stage are those whose problems aren't outwardly obvious like back pain, “body weakness", blindness, and deafness. You will never see any miracle in church that you can verify with you own eyes.

So to answer OP's question, no god cannot heal amputees. God cannot heal anyone. All those “healing pastors" are nothing more than stage magicians. If you are an amputee, my advice is to get a prosthetic limb, stop wasting time in church and move on with your life.

I have come to that conclusion too.

The religious folks on this thread have stated that God could perform several unverifiable miracles and hold back the only verifiable one.

i've heard about pastor chris and benny hinn and so on.
Tht doesnt change anythg.
The same medcal science that cant produce documented incident of people healed from amputation can produce other evidence of healg from other conditions after it gave up on the patient. So what does tht say for divine healing?
When ppl are sick/ill all most know is to go to a man of God to pray for them. For most ppl who have faith for this it may work if the man of God is empowered by God for such. But the man of God is never the healer. God is.
The man of God is simply d channel. Try tellg tht to most folks who elevate the man of God over the God of d man, therefore
when the man of God prays and it doesnt work they are devastated!
Truth is, God doesnt give the man of God more faith.
Amputation isnt a healing,per se,but a creative miracle.
Somethg tht wasnt there has to b recreated - in this case a limb -
this will require more faith than a healing.
But God will do it.
I hang around christians and live with some. Truth is many christians are not interested in God beyond d minimal.
Most pastors wives dont read the bible. There's a lot of emptiness and shallowness in typical christianity. Yet, they want God to do KING-SIZE THINGS like healing amputees.
Dream on, thts like sayng some one can win an olympic medal in boxing without puttg in d kind of input those who win do.
There's a price tag for this things.
If God says He can do all things and u sincerely believe Him to do what He said He will do yet He failed to do it then He God would be a LIAR and his word wudnt b worth it. You can throw the bible away. But people have proved him true time and time again.
Question is how many wud b willing to pay d price?

The goal of being a christian is to be saved. Miracles and others are just secondary. Salvation will give you a chance to be in God's new world, where no resident will say I am sick. All the troubles of the present world will disappear. Why do we keep on wanting to have a GREAT sign to cement our reverence for God?
Now there is a big difference between miracles and magic. God has blessed mankind with the gift of using his brain to 'keep' the world spinning. These (your question) are the kinds of 'miracle' that will follow the days of the reign of the anti-christ, for satan will come out blazing with miracles and wonders. Then the sign-wanters will have enough to choose whom they want to serve, but it will be too late. Either they already have the mark of the beast or they are living a painful christian life during the period.
You want new limbs growing out for those who had theirs amputated. Satan also has power, but there is nothing impossible for our Creator, sign-wanting generation. These kind of miracles will surely come to pass.

When? What is holding it?

Why then do the 'god of men' always go on an on and on about miracles they can do to deceive people? Why can't they just preach salvation only and remove all those 'wash, wash' from their TV broadcast?

Do you know how many have been deceived into untimely death because of their belief in miracles just because their pastor gave them false hope?

Did you read my post and still ask me questions? Okay, we know that satan presently acts passively, or behind the curtain. When the time comes, satan will come out to be seen with great signs and wonder; he will come out active.
You should focus more on serving the LORD with all your heart rather than running after miracles. Life in Christ in our present world is not all happiness and joy.

There is nothing wrong with doubting. Thomas was not condemned to hell for doubting instead Jesus showed him proof beyond reasonable doubt and he consequently believed.

the salvation of the soul is a greater complexity and marvel
and of more significance
than the grwg back a limb.
But the Q is can God do it?
Yes he can.
Is it hard for God ? Na.
Is God willing to do it? Sure (Jesus never turned any1 away who sought healing)
y doesnt God do it? Moot question. Discussion cud go on ad neaseaum.
Q shud b reversed
because it is accusatory. Does the problem lie with God or the amputee?

Thomases was rebuked by Jesus for doubtg. Peter was lashed also for doubtg when walking on water.
The children of Isreal,which are a type of the children of God today,
never entered the promise land because of unbelief.
On the other hand, the faith of the centurion impressed Jesus so much,he marvelled.

Did Thomas cease to be a disciple because he doubted? Did Peter cease to be a disciple because he doubted? NO!

Infact the Church was even build upon Peter. Even Gideon asked for sign not once, not twice and God proved himself on all occassion.

Peter was the spokesman on pentecost but it was a different man from d man who wanted to go back to fishg. It was a reformed man. Thomas also repented of his unbelief after Jesus rebuke.

Doubtg man is anoda ball game .

"let every1 preach salvation not miracles"

the command from the head of the church is to "go and preach the gospel (good news) ". The goodnews includes salvation but ur definition of salvation is narrow.
Biblical salvation is encompassing (salvation from hell for the unbeliever, and other types of salvation for the believer).
Miracles follow the true preachg of d gospel. It shudnt b d emphasis of d preacher .
In d bible, peter's shadow healed many. It was so powerful tht many brought the sick out so tht his shadow would fall on them. Was Peter's emphasis miracles? No.
But miracles followed him.
Some pastors overwrk themselves trying to get God to do a miracle . Some church members press for d sensational frcg pastors to try to fake/produce it. Some exaggerate it. Church is like entertainment industry but without d big budget to match.

Life is a miracle. I did not say there is no miracle. Miracle do happen to unbelievers (doubters) as well as believers. What i am against is 'god of men' that use it to deceive people. I don't as much blame the people because a lot of them are desperate for any type of cure because of the economic reality of that our country called Nigeria. Even things that science/medicine is able to sort out will be claimed to be miracle. Headache, migrane, toothache, back pain are 'miracled' to the receipients.

You know what i also hate? When our leaders claim to be Christians/Muslims even going to kneel down before one 'god of man' for some special powers to lead. They are all worshippers of Satan because true Christians/Muslims cannot be rulling a nation while the people suffer. Our political leaders and their christian counterparts are all occultic worshippers i tell you.

Jesus said 'Blessed are the ones who did not see yet that believe' but he did not say 'woe to those that doubt'. He always show them proofs. So there is nothing wrong with showing proofs. That is why we are Christians. If you say God can do this or that, you have to be able to proof it otherwise unbelievers will ask questions.

@babagnoni;

i don't know where you stand because you seem to be leaning on the fence of it's impossible

while i am of the believe that not all the 'Doing' of God in human is appreciated or realized by all men, hence the proposition of this thread.

the knowledge of replicating the limp [prosthesis, transplant] are from God.

like freewill, God provides it and allows man to activate it.

it is the good intention of good action of man that benefits.


@RoyPCain

RoyPCain, what the OP asked, from the on-set, was: "Is It Impossible For God To Grow Back Amputated Limbs?"
does anyone thinking that if a builder built a complete 'working project', it will be impossible to repair it by replacing the broken off/non working part, if the builder wishes? God Who I have no ability or right to second guess/know whats in His "MIND" [using mind because we are human and we can relate to this; God has nothing similar to man. period], can do whatever He wills. it is easy for Him to replace a broken off limb, even after it has been off for so long that the person is used to functioning well without it. after all, God created Adam from dust, from the rib of Adam [AS} his mate, Hawa and from the two human beings in different looks, tribes and shapes, tongue, etc. how difficult can anyone think repairing a whole by bringing a broken off part to it for the Maker Who is The Master of the process? anyone who reflects will say it is very easy if He wishes to let it be so.


a casual observation which one can use is when an accident occurs and not even a scratch when everyone expect life lost, that is more than growing a limb because it involves not letting the limbs survive unbroken, but preserving the whole body by letting the soul remain, not extracted from the body.

here is my final argument about the limb; the whole will die, anyways. at some point the regenerated limb will die with the whole. so why focus on the mundane when the reality of true belief and working deeds of righteousness are being neglected? why that arrogant when you are not even just to yourself when you know that you cant even prevent yourself from dying?






whatofyou, rightly pointed out, and note, it was not flesh and blood that directed him to it,

that God, at one time, in Luke 22:47-51; picked up a freshly cut-off ear, reattaches it back healed

- God DID NOT grow the ear back or grow back amputated limb(s) for that matter

The preceding, above, is partly why, my stand was, God is not in the business of directly or personally growing back amputated limbs

Reiterating, when it comes to achieving this miracle and others (e.g. GROWING back amputated limbs, growing back any or all of the 32 adult permanent teeth et cetera) it is going to be realised via people (i.e. man) in the medical field, sector or arena

With this arrangement, it will be well within the confines of God abiding by His word or rule(s), one of which is:
Let them, man; have dominion, take dominion over the earth; dominion as in control et cetera

It is man's call or challenge, to grow back amputated limb, not God's,

and this miracle can or will happen, inasmuch, as man's spirit is willing, and the body is not weak.







God says in the Quran thus to show any 'repair' made by man, Allah is the One really making the repair
“‘How can you worship things you carve with your own hands, when it is God who has created you and all your handiwork?’” [37:95-96]


the Owner of All Dominion is God, not man.

Mark12:10-13

10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.


Based on this verse, I'll say God can

shrivelled hand - wrinkled and contracted or cause to wrinkle and contract, especially due to loss of moisture.
withered hand - To lose freshness, become dry and shrivelled, to lose the freshness of youth, as from age

Thanks for the correction, I'll check the Greek word that was used for withered
