Witchcraft = medication

[tbpew]

I am not prepared to link God with the pharmaceutical industry or its practitioners.

At best they are different options available for a person to choose.
At worst, they may be in opposition.

The principle of ingesting something that may have therapeutic benefit with regard to managing a natural consequence with these bodies, is a scripturally outlined opportunity. Extending that confidence to pave a road of acceptance concerning the large scale medicating we see in our current societal approach to health care is NOT consistent with " a little wine for the stomach and strong drink for the dieing."

I do not believe that the merry heart does good like a medicine.
The Hebrew word gehaw(?) is REMEDY or CURE. KJV translators may have been OK to use the two words interchangeable [medicine and CURE], but who among us would believe that medicine and CURE are synonymous or interchangeable.

Our world is SUPER SATURATED with synthetic chemical compounds that we put into our blood stream. Every one of these choices will need to be subsequently filtered by our liver or kidneys. If that is all perfectly consistent with God's plan, how about we just drop ALL PHARMA and just drink a little wine when our stomach is upset.

I am confident that our body chemistry is the line of demarcation between body and spirit. It is an aspect of our lives that should be maintained with all vigilance and direction from our Lord.
