# Jason King Mormons claim that God can raise the dead and heal the...

*July 27, 2023 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to his own comment.*

Jason King Mormons claim that God can raise the dead and heal the sick. If that's true, it should be a simple matter for him to raise the dead.  Has anyone been raised from the dead in the past 2000 years?  No. Has a Mormon prophet ever healed an amputee? No.  The only people "healed" by Mormon priests are people who suffered from illnesses that the body might have fought off anyway without any supernatural assistance. Mormons claim that God can communicate independently with all people on Earth.  If that were true, it should be a simple matter for him to communicate Mormon history independently to anyone, anywhere on earth. We should see Mormonism spring up independently in Africa, China, and India.   Does that happen?  No.  Instead, we see Mormonism spread the same way every other meme spreads, via viral transmission from one person to another. If a being appeared who could reproducibly raise the dead and heal amputees, would that mean that they were the biblical God?   No.  They could simply be an advanced alien, for example. But such abilities would certainly warrant that we take their claims seriously, instead of dismissing them as the ravings of another madman/charlatan.
