I understand. Does the bible not say that he broke his hip or put it out of joint? The point is that our hip or femur is our strongest part of the body and this resembles our free will as human.

[Aside: Amos, do you have a job? In this job of yours do any of your coworkers understand you? Just wondering.]

Kind of and not really.

You see, this is why we love our Amos.

I agree. I'm going to put that cogent answer in my next book.

That's a tough one, but my current favorite is Genesis 30:25-43, which features some curious genetic engineering.

Jacob accepted employment caring for Laban's flock of solid-colored sheep and goats, with the condition that non-solid-colored ones could be considered strays that Jacob could keep for himself.

Which gave Jacob an idea. He painted stripes on some sticks and showed them to Laban's sheep and goats as new ones were getting conceived. These new ones were spotted and streaked, and Jacob kept them for himself.

This ones (Gen 30) easy, God allowed this to happen to punish Laban for using divination to find out he was blessed of God. (God don't like that crap man). Of course Laban doesn't ever get to find out he was punished...
Just like that God to neglect such a detail...

Alright, heres a mystery for you:

Matt 1
22 All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
23 "Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel" (which means, God with us).
24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took his wife,
25 but knew her not until she had borne a son; and he called his name Jesus.

So...What the hell do we call Him anyway?

Revelation

There must have been some powerful herbs around when that was written.

Lovely, for the innovator censorship is the key to success. Our mind works the same way and that is why the forbidden fruit is the sweetest of all.
