Hi -
The Bible says in Luke
22:50, 51 - KJV, "And one of them smote the servant of the high priest,
and cut off his right ear. and Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus
far. And he touched his ear, and healed him."
As far what
the Bible says about Jesus healing lepers . . . Paul Johnson (elsewhere
on FB) mentioned about Jesus healing lepers. (I removed that post
because some fact checking was needed . . . ) I discovered that the
limbs of lepers DON'T fall off.
The following excerpt is from Wikipedia: "Contrary
to folklore, leprosy does not cause body parts to fall off, although
they can become numb or diseased as a result of secondary infections;
these occur as a result of the body's defenses being compromised by the
primary disease.[11][12] Secondary infections, in turn, can result in
tissue loss causing fingers and toes to become shortened and deformed,
as cartilage is absorbed into the body"
###
So besides
in Bible content, there have been NO reports that we know of -- of
limbs growing back AFTER amputations. And surely, if such REALLY
happened/happens, there would indeed be historical evidence and -- these
days -- videos . . . But such is JUST in the Bible? Hmmm
Why won't God heal amputees?
The Bible does say relative to prayer/asking/believing:
"Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."
"John 14:14
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."
"Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"
"Matthew 17:20
And
Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief:for verily I say unto
you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this
mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and
nothing shall be impossible unto you."
"Mark 11:24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

This
is a lengthy article, but WELL WORTH THE READ. If not all at once,
certainly to be bookmarked and returned to later. Here's the link:
