Do you have before/after miraculous healing pics?

I'm starting this thread here because I realized I was derailing a thread Texas had started on West Mall. I apologize for getting things off track over there, but I was encouraged to start this thread when Texas reported the following:

i have actually heard stories of amputees healed....but never seen it so not sure if it was true.
 
I don't know about miracle, but my brother used to have hives as a kid. Went to every American doctor, no cure. Went to Chinatown in Houston, they give him some tree bark, roots, dried up looking cranberries to make a tea. He's cured

Does providing a surgeon who replants an amputated part count as God's healing? Or does He have to do it in a Pentecostal church? Because, allowing that God sometimes uses human agents, he DOES heal some amputees. If you spend your time interpreting the world as devoid of the divine, you will not see Him at work. If you look for miracles, you will. And sometimes He heals distal amputees without intervention. Posting my pictures would violate HIPAA.

I'm just saying.
 
I'd say that only counts if the surgeon did not go to medical school or even read a journal about reattaching limbs. Essentially, it only counts if God spoke to a normal untrained man and guided him in attaching the severed limb. Otherwise, it is 100s of years of scientific and medical advancement that helped reattach the limb.
 
I bet we all know a family member or a friend of a family member who has been miraculously healed. As one example off the top of my head... Marc Pittman's dad recounts a story about his son Chase (former UT/LSU player) being rushed to an out of the area hospital. The docs warned him that he might not make the trip. Not too long later the doctors were stupefied and had no medical proof that Chase was ever sick.

He now plays in the NFL. (*From book "Raising Cole")

I also have a friend who recounts of a story of how he was healed as an infant. The doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him... were about to do open heart surgery. The lone believer in the family (an uncle) calls the family just before the surgery and insists that he saw in a vision there is an artery issue in near the child's right shoulder. Sure enough, the docs find a blockage. The child tells the story whenever he can (he's now 30) Half of his family converted as a result of this story.

Methinks your prior bias' have alot to do with your conclusions. I personally have seen things that are too coincidental for me to brush off as mere chance. However, I've never seen anyone in my family healed and I've had many members die early from cancer. God's main interest isn't giving you more temporary life... I think its giving more eternal life. So what's the great deal in healing other than to show that you have mastery over other kinds of life? He already showed that... so why keep doing it??

What do you see??

sometimes rational thought gives the irrational too much credit by proving it irrational.

people believe in prayers for the same reason they believe in "god". there's something "comforting" in thinking/believing that a thing/person greater than everything you know has a vested interest in your happiness and well being.

and to quote myself from bull durham.

If you believe you're playing well because you're getting laid, or because you're not getting laid, or because you wear women's underwear, then you are!

people want to believe prayers work. people need to believe that prayers work. people need to believe that there is a great battle between good and evil and that good will prevail. whether or not god answers those prayers has nothing to do w/ it.
 
Some interesting discussions going on here but I'd still love to see the photographic proof of some sort. Texas boldly stated that there existed 20,000 photos of 17,000 people in India & Pakistan who'd been "miraculously healed". He even mentioned some of this footage being available in a movie but I can't find it through any search engine I've tried. I've asked him to provide some type of link but have not yet received a reply

I've tried to imagine the scenario Texas mentioned. His friends were missionaries. I'm assuming they spent a year or maybe even two in India and Pakistan. Let's round it off to an even 700 days. If 17,000 people were healed over those 700 days that works out to being just over 24 people per day or roughly one per hour. For 2 consecutive years. How would this not be reported? Even if they were in the most remote villages on earth certainly word would spread after a month or two that--once an hour--a miracle is occuring. Shoot, they'd be able to simply take before & after photos like clockwork. The scientific & medical communities would be all over this. Hell, the media shows up when someone says they've got a tortilla that looks like Jesus or a piece of toast shaped like the Virgin Mary. A miracle an hour, every hour, for 2 years straight? Even News 8 Austin would eventually get a crew over there.

To believe that some god has a vested interest in your family member, but not someone else's who just died is just strange.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

that's the magic of god. for family members, if the person is cured, why then god answered their prayers. if he died, why then it was his time to go and god wanted him in heaven.

it's all part of god's master plan. between inspiring people to kill in his name, he's also looking out for each and every one of us. he's cool like that.
