Witchcraft = medication

Someone started a thread on his and his son's behalf, Bro. He was in the hospital at the time. Of course he was praying, just like the rest of us were.

I'm just saying you can't disconnect modern day pharmaceuticals from the pursuit of medicinal cures back when the medicine men and witch doctors were the ones coming up with cures. You would only be fooling yourself to say otherwise, Bro. Like I said, I don't know why the translators chose witchcraft as how they translated that word or how it got lumped in with all them other evils, but there's no sense in trying to deny it means what it means.

Amen Brother!!!! Preach it!!!!

From H7080; a lot; also divination (including its fee), oracle: - (reward of) divination, divine sentence, witchcraft.

A primitive root; properly to whisper a spell, that is, to inchant or practise magic: - sorcerer, (use) witch (-craft).

Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
Deuteronomy 18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
Deuteronomy 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

Not one of these words refers to medicine, or to the use of plants as a curative.

By the way, Rico, the Bible does say that laughter does good, "like a medicine [cure]". Does that verse call medicine good, along with laughter?

Uh...I didn't say they did refer to medicine

You made a pointless post with no substance but an interesting topic expecting everyone to listen to you because you think you are all big and bad.

I can care less if you have tuned me out, the fact is that you made the post acting like you are the final authority and when I ask you to expound you get bent out of shape because you know a student of the field is going to be responding.

If people had more a backbone then maybe your beliefs wouldn't be criticized so much.

No wonder there are so many Apostolic people that are unable to back up their beliefs, they have no backbone when questioned.

Being rude to a Brother is ungodly just in case you didn't know that.

I know you didn't, Prax. I was just providing the definitions, and then the rest of my post was just general commenting.

He's catching up, Prax. He missed all the posting as it was happening. It's his thread, so he is answering everyone's posts.

Carp,

Rico has been posting the truth and in that, it makes him smart because he believes what the bibles says about it.
