Why doesn't God heal amputees, or cure AIDS, or cure cancer?

If he did that would make this heaven wouldn't it? That comes later, maybe. Some will get around to the suffering later.

Coz hes a git and takes all the good people young, leaves all the tossers here on earth

Because there is no god.

because He doesnt like fags...and we all gotta go sometime...right..? duh

Because god doesn't exist

Because god, like any other pixie, fairy or leprechaun, is imaginary.
Nothing more.

Cause thats life!

Are you Still worried about getting AIDS Jim Darwin? Or do you already HAVE AIDS?

Better still, why doesn't the Hand of God come down and smite thine enemies.

That would be a huge sign, as this massive hand squashes someone in full view of witnesses.

Wouldn't you believe then?

For the same reason he doesn't wipe Atheists of the face of the earth...

We aren't in heaven yet.
As long as we are in the corruptible flesh we can get sick.

A pastor once put it like this:

Maybe God did create someone who had the potential to come up with the cure for AIDS or the cure for cancer, and the mom aborted that child.

Note: I'm not saying I'm against people who have had an abortion, it was just an interesting thought he put out there.

Trials in life make us stronger. What looks terrible to humans can have positives. Views are important.

Perhaps because people are investing their time in something that may not be there instead of putting the nose to the grindstone, using the intelligence they were born with and finding cures for their fellow human beings themselves.

God did not create any of those...what God did not create, does not exist.

Illness and disease is in the world because death is in the world. Death is in the world because of original sin. Not all illness is due to sin. In reality, disease will never be cured until this heaven and earth pass away and we are given the new heaven and earth. Finding a so-called cure for a disease will not prevent its outbreak because sin is ever-present. For those that are resurrected to eternal life there will be no sin in them because they will be like Christ who is sinless; therefore, they will not be subject to disease or death. Jesus is the great healer and if a person is sincere about his/her health and wants the healing of God, then they wil request it and receive it providing that it is within God's plan that the healing be manifested. Life on earth is limited to a maximum of 120 years. We can do nothing to change this. Those who dream of an eternity on earth in their present human forms are foolish dreamers.

Where have you been? People have been healed of all those things and even raised from the dead, but don't expect to see it on the evening news. The liberal media doesn't want God to exist and they purposely keep things like this off the news. In some cases they will report it and add doubt and find fault with the person or ministry involved. You should do some research on this and be amazed. Pat Robertson has a book documenting miracles today. A lot of the miracles, like blind eyes opened and the deaf to heat happen in other countries. I personally have known of many miracles just by going to church and seeing the before and after.

We are the hands and feet of God. It is up to us to do these things.

God could do it Himself, but then that would leave us out of His plan. By helping others, we come to know Him better.

I believe there's a plan for everyone and God helps in His own way.

Because The God (Allah) is so kinid to us that He doesnt take us right at the spot when people disobey Him , neglecting His powers (He is the greatest ever from the beggining till the end), If he wanted then He might have taken all the lives of disobedient people within a second of their disobedience whereas He gives them time to overcome their evilness and when its clear that they know whats right and whats wrong then He makes them a symbol for others so that othere may try to avoid the thing that person did. And still He is there to give you miracles there is just a need of heart that belives in Him truly then see what and how He gives you would not be in your imagination even not in your uncounscious. On the other hand He gave us the way of finding solutions to our problems through knowledge as we can see many deseases getting cured those were thought to be deadly for centuries long. So believe in God and get closer to Him through knowledge and save all that is available to us in this world and in the world hereafter.

God Bless You!!

I think it is because these are judgments on people for their sins. Don't get me wrong there are innocent people who suffer the many diseases and problems. But the bible states that the sins of the parents are visited upon the children. Just remember everything happens for a reason.

The Bible says that God created everything good, but even the first humans went contrary to living the positive life that God intended and brought upon themselves the negative consequences of death, illnesses, and the general fall of creation. Because He is just, he lets the world remain out of balance and we suffer the consequences of our poor behaviior. However, He did do somthing. He sent Jesus to us to live, suffer, and die with us. Upon His death there was atonement which satisfied Justice, and he opened up heaven,, so that justice is satisfied, but mercy has the last say. Those who are patient here, and not selfish here, trusting in the merciful Love of God and being mercifully loving also, still suffer and die, but then go to heaven forever. In heaven there is no AIDS, cancer, and our bodies are glorified and restored to perfect health and wholeness. :)

mornin' jim.

that depends on who you ask. some might say those are punishments for sins. (what b.s. huh?) i'd like to ask those same people if that's why i have epilepsy, but i'm sure they would come up with a different answer for me.

i would have to think it is because he created these things, according to the book..

Why should He cure, while He could prevent?
Why should He prevent, while He could uncreate?
Why should He uncreate, while He could be Creator?
Why should He be Creator, while He could be Big Bang?
Why should He be Big Bang, while He could be Nothingness?
Why should He be Nothingness, while He could be Absoluteness?

He says:
Why should I be AnythingElse, while 'I AM THAT I AM'?
Know that you are not ape; you are man because you have the power to ask questions. So, keep on using your brain more intelligently.

Everything in life has a place. Without conditions like these, those with money would believe they can buy everything. Also, the worth of a person is not measured in physical health, and living with an illness can be a challenge, and an opportunity to prove the strength of a person's character.
