The besetting sin of Pentecost

[Steve Epley]

The unmentionable sin of the abuse of prescription medicine from what I hear it is an epidemic among every stripe and flavor of Pentecost. Are you hearing very much said about it across the pulpits where you attend or visit?

[ManOfWord]

Yes!!! Any use of prescription medicine is a demonstration of the lack of faith in God and prayer and a positive confession!!!! I am suprised that more Pentecostals are not dying as a result of the judgement of God and their "little" faith.

Down with ALL medicine!!! It is the greatest threat to the Church since the devil himself!



Just being facetious.

I know of people who did not believe in medicine and I know of those that had
babies at home, because they did not believe in doctors, but I don't know of anything about pulling teeth without pain relief.

This is sad. To require this is also a form of abuse IMO.

But to answer your question, YES. I am seeing a renewed push to get the entire population on drugs. I guess what bothers me the most is the psychotropic prescriptions they are putting kids on. First they introduce a new "disorder" then the mircle cure in the presciption form. Bothersome to me.
