And here I thought they were the 95 Theses. Or was that the name of his praise band?
Pharmakeo Greek word that trickled down to us in English as pharmacy, drugs, occurs 3 times in NT.
In EVERY case it is translated as witchcraft.
GAL 5:19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft pharmakeia; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
REV 9:20 The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood--idols that cannot see or hear or walk. 21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts pharmakon, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
REV 18:23 The light of a lamp
will never shine in you again.
The voice of bridegroom and bride
will never be heard in you again.
Your merchants were the world's great men.
By your magic spell pharmakeia all the nations were led astray.
Today, drugs are a necessity in sorcery.
Wine, although many many say is a drug, is NOT a drug in the spiritual context.
Thanks,
In Christ,
Ed
I think we would agree it does not pertain to preparation of wine.Pharmaceuticals does not refer directly to drugs, but rather the mixing or preparation of drugs for specific purposes. A 'pharmacy' is a place where drugs are prepared for consumption. A 'pharmaceuticals' company mixes ingredients as a preparation for medicines.
The use of the word in the NT refers to sorcerers, who often used potions, etc. in their craft. Thus the use of that word for 'sorcerers' or 'sorcery'.
