“I’ve seen blind people made to see again.”
How do you know they were blind before the miracle?
“I’ve seen arthritic people, once hunched over, straighten up and heard the loud snaps of their joints as they straighten up.”
My roommate could snap every single joint in his hands. He used to grab my head and do that, making junior sailors think he’s snapped my neck. I’d fall to the ground. Not dead.
“I’ve actually watched the curved spines of those with scoliosis straighten in seconds.”
Suuuuuuuuuure. And then the revivalist went to the hospital and cured everyone in their beds.
“I’ve seen a girl with Down’s syndrome delivered. In mere seconds the trademark facial attributes were gone, her speech instantly cleared.”
Uh huh. Oh, I believe you.
How many of these miracles were on established sufferers, with medical records of their condition?
“I’ve seen an arm restored. Once severed below the elbow, I watched as a forearm, then a wrist, hand, and fingers generated in moments.”
A video would be really nice, here.
Did the new hand have the same fingerprints as the old one?
“I’ve seen plenty of proof that God does exist and is quite active.”
The plural of ‘suspicious anecdote’ is NOT ‘proof.’
“So much more than even what I’ve mentioned.”
One miracle would be useful. Dozens just makes me wonder why the press isn’t all over this.
“ I understand that you may not have witnessed any of these things but that’s your fault and not mine.”
It’s not a fault, it’s just anecdotal testimony and very obvious exaggerations. Why would there even BE a website about ‘Why Doesn’t God heal amputees’ if god healed amputees?
“God shows Himself to whoever’s watching and doesn’t operate in a vacuum.”
Then why do you offer these ‘proofs’ to people God doesn’t want to see them?
“Can you show me your proof that He doesn’t exist?”
Nope, sorry, the burden is still on you. Prove god or prove any of these healing miracles.
