(It's a MIRACLE!)
It's been forever ago, but I had a bunch of plantars warts on both my feet just disappear the day I got up to fly to Colombia S.A. to do missionary work there. I didn't see them disappear, they just did. I'd been praying about it, of course... could hardly walk on account of them.
A most wonderful miracle of course, for each of us, is that moment when our sins are washed away and we're made into new creatures. The greatest healings are those that change our hearts and make us more Christ-like.

@ Grigori Yefimovich:
For that, I'm not sure whether I should award you an internet, or have you poisoned, shot, and thrown in the river.
"and did not have enough money for medicine or for seeing a Dr. .."
from this thread: another thread is cursing Obama and spitting out "socialism" because he wants a system where people get the treatment they need, not dependant upon what they can afford
A few warts disappear - miracle by god
A few million kids dies the most horrible and preventive deaths - God works in mysterious ways.
No thanks, your stupid fantasy is just too damn brain dead for any intelligent being to fall for that nonsense.
The lower air pressure on board the airliner cured my wart outbreak! It's a miracle!
EDIT: But seriously, folks -- from the wikipedia page on plantar warts:
"* the average cure rate using a placebo was 27% after an average period of 15 weeks."
However, God seems to be so impotent that you have to work there as a missionary. Wait, in your cult, sorry, denomination, the problem is not that they´re poor. It´s that they´re not part of your cult.
your honestly telling me that in all your faithful life in this wonderful and "miraculous" religion of your holy all powerful god the single best example of his great and mighty power is a few fucking warts.
Congratulations, my dentist is more miraculous then your entire faith.
The greatest healings are those that change our hearts and make us more Christ-like.
Oh, your heart my ass. You were only saved de agony of defeet.

There are just some things you shouldn't share with others. Foot warts, GROSS.
Gross? LOL
How about penis warts? Anal warts? Not gross or?
"Horsefeathers
Meanwhile in Africa where disease, starvation and violence runs rampant..."
Well, it's not like God made them brown people,,,,oh wait
and my plantar warts went away all by themselves. No prayer involved, they do that you know.
Let me know how praying over your cancer goes for you. No medical involvement though, because that will soon be socialism.
What! No doctors in Timbers' part of the world?
BTW, what is a plantar wart?
@ Amanda
My mother did the same, and I woke up one morning and the wart was gone from my finger!. So my mom is GOD too! Maybe we're related? What are you? A demoness or an angel? Me, I'm a demon.
@ Xotan: plantar warts are warts on the bottom of the feet. They're caused by the HPV virus.
As an aside I wonder if the Gardisil vaccine would prevent plantar warts as well as cervical cancer.... if it did I'm sure fundies would well be in support of it.
I've had a Plantar wart, too. It went away. Twenty years later, a wart grew on my knee. My doctor froze it off. Haven't had one since. My question is, who is responsible for the one that I got on my knee? If God were so amazing to ease my Plantar wart suffering, why did he send me a wart on my knee, of all places? I suppose it's like that analogy "Why does a dog lick its balls? Because it can."
You do realize that most plantar warts disappear on their own without any intervention, right? Actually, that goes for most warts in general (sadly, mine have bucked the trend, and I'm getting a touch tired of it).
So, your omnipotent god removes warts off your feet, but consistently refuses to save innocents from being bombed, children to be used as sex slaves or entire nations to be ravaged by hunger, poverty and draught?
Not a very strong case, is it?
So, do you have "before" and "after" photos of these plantar warts, plus a medical examination of them, and medical evidence that they are now gone?
No? What a surprise!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
