Dear Adam, A belated welcome to the forum. Could you please cite scriptures that bear the Greek "pharmakia" in order that we may understand the biblical context when the word is in used? Meanwhile, I am afraid it would not be appropriate to presume the poster a marijuana smoker in search of biblical support just base on the short question which still lacks its clarity for proper answer. Shalom Azure |

Shalom to you too, Azure. Strong's Number G5331 matches the Greek word, 'pharmakeia', which occurs in the following 3 verses in the Greek concordance of the KJV Gal 5:20 Translated as, 'witchcraft' Rev 9:21 Translated as, 'sorceries' Rev 18:23 Translated as, 'sorceries' The root word, 'pharmakeus' is used only once, in Rev 21:8, Translated into the word, 'sorcerers' Blessings, and thank you for yuor kind welcome. Adam Jr |

Shalom Adam, I'm glad I waited to respond to you, had wanted to pray and consider what you had written. The word was used for things other than medicinal drugs - yea!! Perhaps that is why I have never felt conviction against using medicine, so I guess I'll continue to do so. Thank you for the work and effort you put into your explanation for me. I do appreciate that. Cheri |

Thank you, Cheri. Your heartfelt response is what makes the time spent well worth the effort, and more, even though I was supposed to be getting ready for work (o: Adam Jr. |

Shalom Adam, So you must be a 3rd shifter? I was too on the weekends for years, just have given them up for awhile. Why don't you fill in your user profile so we can all get to know you a bit better? :-) Cheri |

No, actually I work outside, trying to at least from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. -weather permitting. This is getting hard to do for a 52 yr old, but I enjoy it, and it gives me winter months off for much more satisfying pursuits, such as the study of Old Testament Greek. We all need to have something to be thankful for! I live in Wisconsin. I work mostly in an area about 12" below the ground level. -Lots of walking and digging, but the upside is, when I am on my knees, with my hands in the wet, muddy clay, I am furnished with a wonderful opportunity to praise God for not only giving me the capacity and skills to be a servant, but giving me the desire to do so. For what better position could there be for me, a servant to be in, but upon ones knees, with my hands in the soil from which I was made? ! No, I have never been a third shifter, but have worked for years on 24 hour call, in Wyoming and Louisiana, and Missouri. May God bless you, as you diligently seek Him Adam Jr. |

Shalom Adam, Thank you for letting us know a little bit about you, but is there a particular reason why you're using 2 different user-names? That gets very confusing.... It would be best if you choose just one to use. (Also, I think using 2 user names is against Lockman's policies.) :-) Cheri |
