So the prayers of people that have lost their teeth are worthless?
However, knowing the medical (and scientific) community’s attitude towards the supernatural, they would just chalk it up to inexplicable spontaneous remission than admit that God had anything to do with it.
I'm certain that nearly everyone that has lost their teeth, vision, or an appendage have prayed their butts off for a miracle. Yet, their prayers seem to go unanswered. Hm.
If it’s not reasonable that God would do it, why is it reasonable that the human body would just decide to fix itself? Which is more probable?
You mean like a body fighting an infection? Like a hand that drops a cup that's too hot? That's the body defending - 'fixing' - itself.
I wonder what your opinion of a heart transplant or kidney transplant is? An organ is removed, separated from the body, a replacement is put in. You would say that is purley man at work, but I would say the inspiration, intellect, and technical talent to do such things is God-given. Not all miracles are instantaneous or without retrogression. And that’s biblical, really.
Science hasn't provided miracles yet, either. Treatments, yes, but not the kind of replacement that you are demanding of God so should we reject science as well?
You mean like a body fighting an infection? Like a hand that drops a cup that's too hot? That's the body defending - 'fixing' - itself.
No, that's not what I mean. Like instantaneous healing. Like something that is wrong physiologically being corrected intrinsically, not superficially. Cured and healed, not treated.
From your post earlier....
If you can show me how to miracle myself a new set of teeth or perfect vision, I'll fall to my knees, accept Jesus and do missionary work in Iraq.
Since you're so bent on disproving miracles, I'd guess that is a pretty safe statement to make. How sure are you that you wouldn't just find some way to explain all that away?
People who want to believe will, and others won't, even if someone rises from the dead.

You know htis how? God DOES answer prayer- and in quite a few cases- however, not every whim and wish of man is naswered- but many are- Have you done research on this yet? Or are you comfortable just htrowing out some nonsense claim? Have you been to church and WITNESSED specific prayers beign answertedc by God>? Have you been at hte bedside of every sick person to verify that their prayers went unanswered or not?
You have a FReepmail response to your response.
BTW, any clues as to the meaning of your username? I tried converting it from hex then looking at results to see if there was anything of significance, but after considering everything from phone numbers to ip addresses, I gave up, as there was nothing I could tie to you. Maybe it’s some sort of professional license number or something. Anyway, had a blast trying to figure it out, and I’ll try some more later. Hopefully it’s not something entirely random or I’ll feel really dumb.
