Just like Luke isn't an Apostle, Scripture isn't making a connection between 1st century medicine men and 21st century pharmacists; men are.

May The LORD give us knowledge regarding the proper use of Biblical study resources.

Strong's isn't the only source for defining the word "pharmakeia", is it? Not that I know of. It's almost as if you guys are afraid of admitting the connection is there because it will make you look bad or something. No one is saying you and Gus are sorcerers.

Words change in meaning and usage....especially over 2000 plus years. Remember when being happy was gay?

It still is. It's just a different kind of happy.





Ok, enough with the jokes. I know what you are saying, and I agree that all the spirituality and all that nonsense isn't part of pharmacology these days. At least not in terms of the companies producing all these medicines. Still doesn't change where it came from, though. Did you know that these companies are still going into the Amazon, trying to learn from these native medicine men and witch doctors? The industry is still going to the source for new discoveries, along with the work they are doing in labs that have nothing to do with medicines discovered in the Amazon.

No, Brother. It's simply a matter of stating the truth about the origins of something. It's kind of like when people try so hard to deny the roots of Christmas. They go on and on about how "Christian" it is and absolutely refuse to acknowledge where it came from.
