Re: Witchcraft = medication
Well, I took a painkiller today...my back was killing me...
Then I went out and made visits, helped one group look for a building to rent, gave a Bible study and in a little while will go to ladies meeting...
So...I don´t think God cares that I took something for my back...

Re: Witchcraft = medication
Where do the pharmaceutical companies go in search for new medicines? It's the Amazon, and places like that, correct? Who do they go to to find out what medicines these natives use and how they make them? The medicine men and witch doctors, correct? That's because the medicine men and witch doctors are the ones who treat these natives' illnesses, correct? Do you still want to insist that pharmacology doesn't have its roots in medicine men and witch doctors? You are only fooling yourselves because that is exactly where it came from.

Did you ever answer my question? I don't rightly recall...

Actually, yes I did. With the exception of concocting medicines, physicians are medicine men. I wouldn't call them witch doctors, but ya never know. I told Jediwill that if a nurse ever lights up some incense and starts chanting before she gives him a shot he needs to run like the wind!

So you don't believe there are any differences between medicine men who practice witchcraft and medicine men who practice medicine?

Of course, there are differences, Sister, and I never said there weren't. I was merely trying to point out where the study of pharmacology came from. It was others who took it to mean that I was saying they were into witchcraft. I never once said they were.
I still don't know why the translators decided to use witchcraft in that passage. I struggled for a long time with that scripture because of it, but I don't worry about it anymore. If I have a headache I take some Excedrin and don't think twice about it. I had a lung infection two winters back that caused me to go to the emergency room. They gave me some anti-biotics for it and it cleared the infection right up in about a week. I'm not against medicine, but I am not foolish enough to think the study of medicines came from anywhere than where it did, which is medicine men and witch doctors.
