Again, using any natural resource for healing and medicinal purposes is NOT the same as witchcraft. Witchcraft has to do with the spirit world. Crushing up berries or bark to make a medicinal (healing) drink does not. (Unless the concocter deliberately involves the spirit world as a component)

Where are physicans that gave medications in Old Testament times and what were the medications did they give?
Witchcraft has to do with more than the spirit world according to the Bible.

Does the Bible say that Luke prescribed medications? If it does, chapter and verse?

According to the Bible, they are poisoners.
from pharmakon (a drug, i.e. spell-giving potion); a druggist (“pharmacist”) or poisoner, i.e. (by extension) a magician :- sorcerer—Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary

None of which changes the fact that our modern day pharmacology has its roots in medicine men and witch doctors. If there was something wrong with you, you'd go see the medicine man, he'd figure what was wrong with you, put together some potion made from leaves, bark, roots, herbs, berries, or whatever they had found works, and then you'd take it. I am not making this up, it's a fact. The only difference today is that the pharmaceutical companies synthesize the ingredients found in the plants. Good grief! Y'all are something else!

Bro,
It is just a waste of time telling them the truth about it. Let them believe what they want, because it is in the Bible and there is no denying it.

The Bible doesn't say one way or the other, Sister.

Not true.
Witchcraft in the bible is not in any way related to what we recognize today as pharmacology.
That's bad doctrine, plain and simple.

Stop it, please. Stop!!
To even imply that prescribing medications is somehow related to the practice of witchcraft/sorcery is a horrible mangling of the meaning of the scripture texts, and is preposterous beyond words.
I really think you need to study this issue more, OM.

Luke was a physician but it doesn't say he made medications though. Luke went to heaven because he prayed for the sick and they were healed.

This is quite a little debate on this thread, isn't it?  You opened up a can of worms.
