== Medicine ==
An important aspect of Jesus' mission was to heal the sick, and although he tended to do so by supernatural means, the Bible reflects a positive attitude to towards doctors and medical treatment. For example,
* Physicians and embalming, concepts that Joseph learnt from his time in Egypt ([[Genesis 50:2]], [[Genesis 50:26]])
* A poultice of figs is used to heal a boil ([[2 Kings 20:7]], [[Isaiah 38:21]])
* The use of a splint for a broken arm ([[Ezekiel 30:21]])
What doctors cannot heal, Jesus can! -- the women who had bleed for 12 years is a good example ([[Mark 5:26]]).
