You Have Not Lost Your Legs, and He Can Give You New Ones

"We are like men who have lost their legs; they never grow new ones."

That's what AA claims. And like many of its claims, it is a lie.

In fact, it is a lie from the pit of hell.

No, people are not "born alcoholics," no more than are people born gay, or born in the wrong body.

This is the fundamental fraud of this whole cult of fraud.

What does the Bible say about healing, health, and even our legs and the ability to run?

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31)

You can't run if you don't have legs! Yes, those who wait (literally, hope) in the Lord shall have their strength renewed, and they will run! Not only will they run, in fact, but they won't get tired, and they won't collapse from fatigue, either!

But wait! What if your legs don't work, or you cannot run?

Jesus can heal you!

"5And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 7The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. 8Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath." (John 5:5-9)
