Though I guess that if you want to argue that it would be pills or scientifically altered things that only come from what we consider a "pharmacy" today, marijuana should be an alternative herbal remedy-all natural and not sold in pharmacies, you know.  |
That's where a lot of folks like coadie stumble. They see "
pharmakos" in Revelation 22:15, and the next thing you know they're in the local Wal-Mart railing against the confused and frightened people behind the pharmacy counter.
coadie calls this "sharing the Good News."
