According to ossur.com, an amputee is “a person who has had all or part of a limb removed/amputated or is born without a limb”.  According to Princeston University, it is “someone who has had a limb removed by amputation”. So… as easy as it is, an amputee is someone with one or more limbs missing, it could be an arm, both arms, a leg or both legs (well that I guess will be the most basic understanding of what an amputee is).

A miracle on an amputee would therefore physically produce the regeneration of the missing limbs or body parts, as well as reconstructing all physiological elements that are involved in having a leg grow for instance. Ligaments, muscles, all those individual parts would therefore grow back and be put in place.

According to the US national statistic society,  “It is estimated that one out of every 200 people in the U.S. has had an amputation”. That of course doesn’t include those who were born with no limbs or body parts. If one out of 200 people have had amputation, that means therefore, on a national scale, you would have the sum total of the people living in the US, divided by 200 to find out roughly how many people are amputees (AGAIN this doesn’t include those who are born with infirmities). On the 2008 census, it was estimated that 304,154,000 people lived in the US… 304,154,000 / 200 = 1520770 amputees. Now a million of amputees??? that’s quite a lot… and with all the millions and millions of “healing crusades” that have been happening in the US, not a single amputee did ever show up nor was healed.

Now… one would wonder… “blind get sight… people with hearing loss, can hear… people with headache sundenly feel alright… people with cancer get healed” YET, I cannot find at all any single testimony of an amputee who grew flesh.

The question I then would obviously wonder, won’t God heal amputees? or can’t God heal amputees? of course this statement is framing on the belief that God does heal people.

If all the healing crusades are TRULY healing crusaded (meaning empowered by God), why won’t any amputee therefore show up? or let’s put it differently, why won’t the miracle workers invite amputees out of faith?

A friend of mine sent me a video link of a revival healing crusade going on in Florida, where it is said that the thousand got healed and each one with different deseaces, yet, after researching on the different crusades, they had… not a single amputee did show up…

So can anyone tell me why God doesn’t heal amputees, or let me rephrase it, Why God through those “SO EMPOWERED MEN OF GOD” doesn’t heal amputees?

Now, let me ask you a personal question, if you had to choose to pray for someone who has an headache, you would surely be praying for the headache to go away… for peace of mind to be restored, yet, if you were asked to pray for an amputee, what would you prayer be… “God, give peace to this man/woman and help him/her to do the best out of his/her life”? or would you dare praying “God I pray that you will make this limb grow back”?  What would you honnestly faithfully pray?

Now did God ever healed amputees? According to the narrative story in the gospels, Jesus did restore the missing piece of ear-flesh lost by one of the captive soldier while fighting with the disciples. So did God make flesh growth? looks like… but why won’t He be healing amputees during those crusades meetings?

Using a bit of logic and sticking to the biblical narratives, one would just come to the understanding that there are three pausible answers:

1- God doesn’t truly care about amputees

2- God can only heal everything else but just can’t heal amputees

3- Those healing crusades are just bubbling jokes that once again reflect the missleading concepts that have been shaping christians, doctrines, dogmas and christianity’s core for centuries

Which would you stand on?
