Why does the Christian God/Jesus/Holy Spirit discriminate...?

And the proof of these miracles are to be found?

Lots of stories no evidence and you certainly will not find any living examples.

Suckers born every day!!

Jesus did miracles to show He was God. He could have cured every human on the planet with a word, but didn't. That is not why He came.

You cannot honestly say He never did, simply because you do not know every miracle of act of healing He did, just the ones recorded.

Joh 21:25 And there are also many things, whatever Jesus did, which if they were written singly, I suppose the world itself could not contain the books having been written. Amen.

"Why then are Amputees ALWAYS excluded from these miracles!? We know for a fact the limb/whatever will never grow back, it has never happened"

How do you know it never happened? Do you know every amputee from the 1st century forward? You may postulate this, assume it, but you cannot, if you are intellectually honest, say you are sure it never happened.

"well, humans created prosthetics, and they did through the gifts/power that Jesus gave them" WILL NOT PASS, it is Science that created prosthetics;

And who gave doctors the intelligence and ability to make these things? God.

I don't think so. And BTW....there was an amputee that Jesus healed. When He was in the garden of Gethsemane and the soldiers came to arrest Him, Peter sliced someone's ear off with his sword. Jesus touched the man's head and fixed his ear, just like that! There aren't any more cases that we are told about, but there is a verse at the end of...lemme think...John? Luke? one of the gospels that says that, if they had written down all the miracles Jesus did, the whole world would not have been able to contain all the information. I am guessing that, somewhere in there, an amputee was healed. Maybe the reason we don't hear many stories about it was because lots of people who lost limbs ended up losing their lives from infection or blood loss - because we all know how poor their medicine was back then!

If it was easy for Jesus to straighten deformed hands and legs, raise the dead, and open blind eyes, then replacing a limb would have been easy too!

Miracles "were" the theme. We now have God's completed revelation and no need for miracles to confirm His spokesmen. How do you know that Christ didn't heal amputees? John 21:25 says that Jesus did many other things that were not recorded. I personally think that raising the dead trumps replacing limbs.

"Someone who cares" gave a good example - but not a really pertinent one. More to the point: there is no evidence that amputees are "ALWAYS excluded from these miracles". There is no evidence that Jesus did not cure amputees.

However, it should be noted that the examples (hardly inclusive) that we see in the bible (with respect to miraculous healing) is the recovery of the proper operation of *existing* tissue, not the creation or regeneration of lost organs. In other words, there is a difference between *healing* (existing tissue) and *regrowth* of missing tissue. It is true that there is no example of miraculous organ regrowth in the bible.

There is also no example of Alzheimer's being cured. Maybe God discriminates against Alzheimer's patients? Pick your favorite malady - does God discriminate against it because that particular malady is not miraculously cured in the bible? This is hardly a reasonable conclusion at which to arrive.

There are many types of diseases and physical handicaps that God has not cured by way of a miracle. This is not a sign that God loves those people any less however. He shows us His miraculous power to serve as an example to help us understand something deeper and more important. For instance, even when Jesus healed people of a certain condition, He did not heal ALL people with that condition. It was not that He was discriminating, but simply demonstrating His authority and power - hoping that ultimately all men might put their faith in Him to heal the most important thing of all ...their souls!

In fact, consider the following example in which Jesus seeks to impart wisdom first, but when men refuse to receive it He then somewhat reluctantly turns to a physical miracle to open their eyes and hearts....

1Another time he went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 3Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Stand up in front of everyone."

4Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent.

5He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus. (Mk 3)

It is no discrimination.

God will not go against the natural forces that He created. MAybe there IS a scientific way to "make limes grow back," and we have not yet discovered it.

Science is a wonderful thing.

I have an incurable disease. I would love for a cure to be found.

I do not blame God for this, though.

Miracles do not happen "all the time," though.

Where there amputees in Jesus' time? did they even see him?

You do have a good point, but there is probably a scientific explanation.

Not that I am trying to nitpick or avoid answering the initial question, but why are you so obsessed with the issue of amputee's?

Amputees are frequently cured. Their wounds are healed. They receive comfort. They adjust. They don't grow back pieces and parts. They can still become 'whole'.

He has even brought the dead back from death to restore a limb is easy for the omnipotent. But most important is faith hope and charity, not miracles.
