Dear God,

Yesterday, I found out about an online book entitled Why Won’t God Heal Amputees?

In that book, the author writes:

“The Bible clearly promises that God answers prayers. For example, in Mark 11:24 Jesus says, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” And billions of Christians believe these promises. You can find thousands of books, magazine articles and Web sites talking about the power of prayer. According to believers, God is answering millions of their prayers every day.

So what should happen if we pray to God to restore amputated limbs? Clearly, if God is real, limbs should regenerate through prayer. In reality, they do not.

Why not? Because God is imaginary. Notice that there is zero ambiguity in this situation. There is only one way for a limb to regenerate through prayer: God must exist and God must answer prayers. What we find is that whenever we create a unambiguous situation like this and look at the results of prayer, prayer never works.”

God, this writer is saying that you’re imaginary, and using the proof that you don’t answer prayers to heal amputees, even thought the Christian Bible clearly promises that you’ll answer any prayer so long as the person really believes that you will.

So, God, if you exist, as this blog clearly indicates, then how come you won’t listen to the prayers of amputees and heal them to wholeness?

Rosalind,

The reason is that the Devil is engaging me in a battle of prayer and anti-prayer. I do answer the prayers of amputees, and heal their wounds to restore their lost arms and legs. The problem is that Satan immediately counteracts my answered prayer with an instant re-amputation. So, in the very instant that I heal amputees, Satan undoes my healing.

The main thing for you to keep in mind is that none of this is my fault - not the original amputation, and not the re-amputation by the Devil. The essence of cosmic truth is that I, God, am responsible for everything good, but cannot be blamed when anything goes wrong. Surely, if you’re experienced with Christianity, you’ve noticed that basic theological principle.

-God
