Witchcraft = medication

Both of you missed it when you said Luke was an apostle. Maybe you guys need to put the Concordances down, your degrees, and whatnot, and start reading the Bible again!

If Jesus didn't approve of medicine and doctors why did he infer that the 'sick' use the services of a physician? He even paralleled the physician with His own ministry.

hello RD...good to see you...we are 100 % agreed on this point...blessings to you.

He wasn't but someone who will remain nameless gave me some wrong information.

Well, Luke was not one of the 12 apostles but was nonetheless a disciple and an apostle of Jesus. It would be wrong to not list him as an apostle.

BTW, There is nothing wrong with doctors, but the thread is not about doctors, it is about pharmacists. So, could you please stay on topic?

The point is that Christ is recommending the use of medicine unless you believe that all the ancient doctors did were back adjustments.

Go through medical school and pharmacology, learn the history and then try to compare them. I don't think you know a doctor from a cowboy and that's where your getting your information all scrambled. When you know who's who we can talk, until then your arguments are not worth my time.

I am not the one arguing and I believe what the Bible says about it. It is clear, concise, and straight to the point. If you want to argue about it, then argue with God and rant with Him about it.

Does the Bible call him an apostle?

Apparently you don't get my point.

Doctors practice medicine in a parallel manor to the pharmacological process. You are separating the two like they have no connection.

Not only is your interpretation of the scripture inaccurately but you don't know Peter from Paul.

You are arguing that we are off topic but you apparently don't know what either does.
