In the Bible it states,
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.
Now it has probably been mentioned here more than once,however, the question has never been directly asked in a topic.
If "nothing shall be impossible" to those with even small faith, then why are there never examples of such events as the healing of amputees severed limbs? Or the regeneration of eyes lost to accident?
Since regeneration of a physically removed part of the human body has never been shown to occur and since Christians with even a small amount of faith are guaranteed by the messiah himself to be able to do so, my question are the following ones.
Is it a moral obligation on your part to do that which you are capable of doing ,in Christs name,or not? If your faith actually is based in reality and you believe that the words of Christ are true, then why do Christians not perform impossible feats every day?
Why is faith in the performance of works that benefit mankind and that are completely impossible to fake or mistake or be a lie not a primary statement of Christian principles?
I maintain that it is not done because it cannot be done because it is impossible. Is there no amount of Christians on Earth reading these pages that will step up to the plate and do that which the central figure that they claim to believe in emphatically states they are capable of doing?
To perform these events would change my mind in a heartbeat. So let us begin to ask of you to show that you have something real as opposed to nothing at all. Have all your most spiritual leaders participate in a one time event broadcast live for all the world to witness the healing of someone of a physical, visibly missing part of their body. Surely a collection of the leaders of your "Christian Nation" can muster up faith the size of a mustard seed between them and end this charade once and for all in their favour. I can guarantee that any of you will invoke some squirm tactic to absolve yourself of the direct assertion that JESUS CHRIST himself made.
Prove me wrong.

"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
