As long as you’re dealing with mythology, why not just stick to made up people to go along with the made up stories?

Unless you didn’t mean ‘myth’ as in fiction.

Are you sure about your statement?

Does a penis, finger or hand that is reattached count?

If Joan of Arc had been saved, it would not have been in the history books and she would not have been a martyr much like Joseph Smith would not be a martyr if he had lived and died of old age.

Heroes need to die so myths can be created about them.

i just read a report that said brain damage is FOREVER – like a lost limb.

Prayer fails again!

(If God saved Joan of Arc it
would have been
“too obvious”?)

I read in the newspaper today about a woman who thought she had cancer so she cured herself with prayer. She can know cure others for a fee. Are there any documented cases of someone being cured of cancer via a PH blessing?

Is there even one instance in the canon where a limb was miraculously restored?

“I personally believe that God will directly interfear with us mortals as little as possible.”

Right, like NOT turning people into pillars of salt, and NOT striking down whole cities…

Inconsistent, a bit I think.

Rick,

It also has to do with what is necessary. I personally believe that God will directly interfear with us mortals as little as possible. Otherwise it’s not a fair test.

If the limb growing back is somehow necessary in the grand scheme of things, I’m sure it would be restored. However, I doubt any limb is that necessary to God’s eternal plan.

In fact, I think that a request like this would be similar to throwing a handfull of pebbles in a lake and asking God to stop the ripples. It just isn’t going to happen.

Yes.
