I think the question has been answered in scripture

The Gawd:
thanks to Backspace for the passage:

Leviticus 21: 16-23

context, its talking about who may (or may not) become a priest.

16 The LORD said to Moses, 17 “Say to Aaron: ‘For the generations to come none of your descendants who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his God. 18 No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; 19 no man with a crippled foot or hand, 20 or who is a hunchback or a dwarf, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles. 21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the food offerings to the LORD. He has a defect; he must not come near to offer the food of his God. 22 He may eat the most holy food of his God, as well as the holy food; 23 yet because of his defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar, and so desecrate my sanctuary. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.’”


I think it is clear that God simply does not like amputees (or people with defects) and thus wont heal them. I think it is a reminder of him being an imperfect creator.

This is a gem.  Thanks for sharing!

Damaged testicles?  That seems like a strange thing to make sure was on the list.  God sure is hung up on this sex thing.

I thought about that. What exactly are damaged testicals? How would I spot that? Who did the checking? What were normal testes? Did they have a standard set to compare the damaged ones to?

Nam:
What about fake testicles, are they okay?
