Why won't God heal amputees?

[WinterHold]

This life is very short, such healing of limbs might happen if we lived for billions of years -like our universe-.
So it's not a matter of limbs don't grow back; it's just a matter of a short life not enough for the limb to re-grow.

A mere 100 years can cripple us and make us rotten.

That's pretty fucking stupid. Starfish can regrow a missing limb in a matter of months.  While I get that people (with very few exceptions) aren't starfish, even scaling up and allowing for the greater complexity of human beings, a limb could be regrown in just a few years.

But the topic isn't 'Why don't limbs grow back?' but 'Why won't God heal amputees?' Given the superpowers often attributed to God, it seems fairly certain that he could regrow a limb instantly, not the 'billions of years' you posit.

You should combine this notion with your primitive, hate-fuel ideas of revenge. If you cut off the hand of a thief who is later found to be innocent, God can simply regrow the hand, right?

No. The hand of the thieve is not meant to grow back in this life, that's how serious the sentence is.
Just like the years taken from an inmate in prison; hands are just like years: they don't grow back.

Clearly God has to balance out what would do the most good in the world. 

On the one hand, healing amputees would give great joy to a few people.

On the other hand, it would take away one of the Internet atheists' greatest pleasures -- asking every few days why God doesn't heal amputees.

Good explanation
