A rather broad and dare I point out all inclusive statement. If it were "Jesus changes some things" it would still beg the question. What can and does Jesus change? You seem to indicate an awareness that amputees, for some reason, are not healed. Is healing amputees not part of the everything that Jesus can or will change? Like the "problem of evil", is the seemingly permanent condition of amputees an indication of unwillingness or inability? "Jesus changes everything."

I'm not sure I'm tracking with your argument. An amputee prays that God would heal him. The amputee is not healed. Therefore God does not exist. Am I missing something here? Further, this is not a post about healing. This is a post about trails and suffering. Check the tags: fear, health, Matt Chandler, suffering, trial. Thanks for your comment, donK.

Why won't Jesus heal amputees? <a href="http://whywontgodhealamputees.com/" target="_blank">http://whywontgodhealamputees.com/</a> When it comes to answering a single unambiguous prayer, with no possible scientific explanation, why is God silent? <a href="http://www.pray4trig.com/" target="_blank">http://www.pray4trig.com/</a> Why is this a parody? Why can't this be done by the faithful? Why doesn't prayer really change things? Can you be more specific? Why won't Jesus heal amputees?

When it comes to answering a single unambiguous prayer, with no possible scientific explanation, why is God silent?
