    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    Reason #3: Understanding why people create religions What I am proposing to you in this book is both quite profound and quite baffling. It is this: Everything that we associate with religion is imaginary. God, the Bible, Jesus, the resurrection, prayer, the Ten Commandments, the creation...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    Understanding your delusion In this book there is a tremendous amount of evidence showing us that God is imaginary. You have just seen 25 chapters of good, solid, easily-digested evidence. It would be easy to present a hundred more chapters just like them. The evidence is all around us...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    What does it all mean? Let us pause for a moment and review the evidence that we have seen in the prior 25 chapters. If God exists, how do we explain all of the different things that we have seen? How do we explain the death of Neva Rogers? (see Chapter 1) How do we explain the 39...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    If Jesus lived by the words of Jesus there would be no child poverty. Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    Really? Maybe you could tell us exactly what your version of christianity says happens to a man who simply says that the evidence convinces him that Jesus was just a man and refuses to worship him, or worse yet what happens to a man who says ALLAH is the true god when he dies. "One thing...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    Jesus, the eternal torturer Simply take a moment to think about the following statement: "Hello, my name is Jesus. I love you deeply. I have loved you since you were conceived in the womb and I will love you for all eternity. I died for you on the cross because I love you so much. I long...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    Why does Jesus need your money? Imagine hearing this advertisement on the radio one day: "Hello. My name is Jesus, and I am God. I am the all-powerful creator of the universe. I created everything that you see before you -- the galaxies and stars in the heavens; the oceans, the...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    You have the context of the entire chapter -- do you see anything that indicates we are talking about Jesus besides the random pair of words "my son"? Even verse 2 is nonsensical. There are all the other "prophesies" in this same chapter -- the Ba'als, the incense, E'phraim, the bands of love...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    Was Jesus' coming Prophesized? In the eyes of Christians, one of the things that irrefutably proves that Jesus is God is the fact that Jesus fulfilled many prophesies from the Old Testament. For example, if you look at the Web site for the Campus Crusade for Christ, you find this paragraph...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    But he chooses to heal every other kind of disease according to believers. Does God have something against amputees? That sounds like a threat. Are you saying your God will condemn me if i simply look at the evidence, think it through, and ask simple questions? Your God sounds like a very...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    Why do we eat Jesus? If you are looking for an easy way to prove to yourself that Jesus is not God, try this simple experiment. Take a small child, perhaps age 4 or 5, to church on Sunday and let the child watch communion. You may experience something like this: Child: Daddy, what are...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    In other words, there is nothing stopping Jesus from appearing to you, and several good reasons for him to appear. Praying to Jesus What if we pray to Jesus like this: "Dear Jesus, please appear to us, as you did to Paul and the 500 brethren, so that we can see the evidence of your...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    Why doesn't Jesus appear to each of us? In the last chapter, we discussed Jesus' miracles. There is one miracle, however, that deserves special discussion. Jesus' resurrection after his death is the ultimate and defining proof of Jesus' divinity. Just about everyone knows the story of...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    Drawing a conclusion Here is an important question for you to ask yourself: If Jesus needed miracles to prove to people that he is God, and if it did not hurt their "free wills" to see these miracles, and if all these miracles were written down and attested to by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John...
