Why won't God heal amputees?

This has become a big hype all over the internet. As a result from that, it's been used by Atheists against Christians as a "proof" that God does not exist. But, I think the Atheists makes many mistake in trying to use this argument against the Christian.

First, why should God heal amputees? Where in the Bible does it promise God ever will heal amputees? Is He obligated into doing anything for anyone? I don't think so. By asking the question "why won't God heal amputees", you are already assuming that God must or should when in fact, He doesn't.

Second, the Atheist puts God in a box. This kind of ties in with what I said above. It's all assumptions. You assume God should do such a thing, but if He doesn't, that means He doesn't exist. If He doesn't do what you think He should, if it is outside of your box, then He doesn't exist. This is a terrible mistake. God exists outside of that box, and if you can't think outside of the box, then don't bother even asking a question about it!

But why? Why doesn't God heal amputees? I do think this is a pretty tough question, regardless of the things I have said above. Have you ever thought about how that person got that amputee? Did He deserve it? At first, you may think that is cruel of God. But all of these are possibilities. It's actually are fault we become amputees. Should God honestly do anything about it? What about that classic saying "everything happens for a reason"? Should a perfect and holy God help imperfect sinners such as ourselves? And don't you think it would be too easy for God to just simply heal an amputee? People around him would catch on. It would be all over the news and everything. Does God want to reveal Himself to people like that? That easy? I think not.

Although it is a tough question, I don't think it is all that much of a problem for the Christian. There is quite a few reasons on why God doesn't heal amputees.
