3"When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation."
I cant make sense of this thread. Is it religion (the opiate of the people) or Drugs (the substances that release the mind alterants already in us), or the responsibility to be good and loving people no matter what you do, say, use, wear, practice, create, or believe?
My contention is there has been a conspiracy to with hold the true meaning of the Bibles teaching on Sorcery.

Hey that's Stevie Nicks in your Avatar - no fair, I'm distracted now...
Thank you for the compliment. It's funny you mention the name thing. Now you wrote Yahshua, but I have seen it as Yeshua with an 'e'. The truth is, no human knows for certain, it may have been something like Yeshua (or perhaps Yehoshua). It certainly was not Jesus that his family and friends addressed him in day-to-day conversation while he was growing up in Nazareth. I guess I use Jesus most of the time because everyone knows who I am talking about.

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

This is puzzling because prior to the birth of Jesus they were instructed to call his name Immanuel and for it there are two spellings.
Every time they rewrite the Bible there are changes and omissions which is why God said he would write the law on their hearts. Perhaps this is the underlying reason for sorcery.

There might have been "good drugs" in the Bible but you haven't shown that. To make any sort of point you should provide verses and the translations as I have done.
I have many illnesses and take lots of prescribed drugs for them.
Pharmacy is the evolution of Alchemy and Alchemy is using chemicals, nothing else.

Until we learn how to do differently, or remedy differently this will remain a part of our society. The fact is, the prescribed drugs you take are not a cure. If they were, you would take them and get well.
What Jesus, Immanuel, Yeshua did was get to the root of the problem. This is what we should know how to do, but, we don't.

through painful toil you will eat of it
all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
What about the seed bearing plant the Rosary Pea (also called castor bean)?
Is it ok to eat ? Keep in mind that one seed is fatal
Your logic sounds good on the surface. It doesn't really hold up.
Medicine does wonderful things for mankind, but it also does horrible things. This thread is about the Bibles teaching. So far I haven't seen a shred of evidence for good drug use.
