A "Miracle" During a Church Service? "Amputated Fingers Grew Back"

Do miracles exist? Some such events can easily be explained by science, which is based on empirical observations and the laws of nature. Miracles, according to theological definitions, are supernatural events that transcend natural laws. They have a place in various religions, including Christianity. They are signs of divine power, but the Creator rarely chooses to do so.

A supposed "miracle" occurred in one of the churches, and the local community is reeling from it. Skeptics have set up a website to ridicule the whole thing. They're demanding "proof."

“My fingers grew back in 30 minutes”

The divine intervention allegedly occurred during evening prayers at James River Church (a church in Ozark, Missouri). Bill Johnson, the pastor leading the March service, reportedly asked at one point if anyone needed divine assistance. This was said to be a matter of exceptional importance, requiring a "miracle."

A woman in the church pews raised her hand. Johnson invited her to join him in prayer. A decade ago, the faithful had lost her toes when her ex-husband shot her. She asked the Creator to cause them to grow back. Everyone began to pray fervently over her limb.

"God made three amputated toes grow back in 30 minutes," reports skeptic Hemant Mehta, affiliated with friendlyatheist.com. " Don't look for proof. Apparently, no one recorded it. We should just believe her words, " he mocked on the X platform.

The internet creator notes that in this case, "skepticism is justified." " Why didn't God prevent her from having her fingers amputated? Why didn't he stop her husband from shooting her, which led to her two-month coma?! (...) If you want to get better, you should go to church... I guess none (...) of these people (...) have ever considered visiting a hospital to experience the " power" of doctors," he quipped.

Skeptics have a good laugh. Wasn't there a miracle?

Those who don't believe in the miracle have even launched a website called Show Me The Toes. They're demanding proof: they want the woman to show her foot and a photo of it from before her supposed "experience of divine intervention."
