Are Drugs Mentioned In The Bible?

Hello Guys and Gals!

Are drugs mentioned in the bible? I'll let you decide that. Here is what I know.

'Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.' Galatians 5:19-21.

Do you see the word 'sorcery'? You actually have to go back to the Greek to get an accurate translation of this word. I believe sorcery is mistranslated in today's language, yet it was accurately translated that way back in time. The original word in Greek is the word 'pharmakia'. Do you draw any conclusions yet? It is the same word from which we get the word pharmaceuticals, or drugs.

See, back then it wasn't known as 'drugs'. It was known as Sorcery or Alchemy or any other of a number of labels. It is just that the translators of the bible didn't know that it would no longer be called sorcery but drugs instead. This is a perfect example of how language changes over the ages. So now that we know the truth about it, does it change your mind about how you feel about drugs? Or not?

God bless you all this day!
