    The psychedelic experience and chasing God.

    @Xavier Graham SA..... It is of interest that the Greek word translated “practice of spiritism” in the Bible at Galatians 5:20, is phar·ma·kiʹa, which literally means “druggery.” (See also Revelation 9:21; 18: 23) In Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words it says: “PHARMAKIA . ...

    Who searches mind and heart?

    All I know is what scriptures say about Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 5: 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the...

    Kanye West's "Christian" - "Sunday Service" - Jesus is King Album, Chick Fil-A & the Real Lord's Day

    You will note that Paul observed the 7th day Sabbath for one and one half years, implying that, after that, he did not. The spoken of are "Judaizers," so of course they would have wanted to celebrate Shabbat on the 7th day. It's well-known that the proto-church continued to meet in the temple...

    Kanye West's "Christian" - "Sunday Service" - Jesus is King Album, Chick Fil-A & the Real Lord's Day

    Paul, the Apostle on the Ten Commandments in the life of the biblical Christian: The TEN COMMANDMENTS... [01.] For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) [1 Corinthians 8:5] But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of...

    Kanye West's "Christian" - "Sunday Service" - Jesus is King Album, Chick Fil-A & the Real Lord's Day

    How did Paul feel about the Ten Commandments, the Law, in other places? “...Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise; ) [Ephesians 6:2] “...the law [is] good, if a man use it lawfully ...” [1 Timothy 1:8;p] “For if I build again the things which I destroyed...

    The Gospel of John Claims that Jesus is God

    Correct, but Jesus said of the church "the gates of hell will not prevail against it". So there is always a remnant and the holy Spirit is the teacher. As Jesus said He would not leave them comfortless ... but He would come to them and He said "wait in Jerusalem until you be endowed with power...

    Drug use in spiritual life?

    I always used to wonder why in Westerns (Cowboy & Indian movies), the Indians would usually be 'using something'. When I became a lot more mature, and got a better understanding, I realized why. The Greek word for “practice of spiritism” is phar·ma·kiʹa, which literally means “druggery.” This...

    Drug use in spiritual life?

    You quoted from Vines! :) Obviously you saw him as an authority. Apparently, you just grab anything without researching it, so long as it supports what you already believe. It doesn't matter what the source is. Thanks for pointing that out to everyone here. You don't even remember who it was you...

    Drug use in spiritual life?

    None of that matters to me. Who is Vine? I don't care if he colloborated with Patrick from the Spongebobsquarepants show. I consider the text. What it says is right on I have found. Can you demonstrate otherwise? It's all rubbish in the end, isn't it? Truth, fiction. You, me. The Bible and The...

    Drug use in spiritual life?

    Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (1981, Vol. 4, pp. 51, 52) says of the word spiritism: “(Eng., pharmacy etc.) primarily signified the use of medicine, drugs, spells; then, poisoning; then, sorcery, Gal. 5:20, R.V., ‘sorcery’ (A.V., ‘witchcraft’), mentioned as one of...

    How are these Great Beings explained?

    PS to my last few posts... Please note that by addressing the thorny issue of psychotic illness and delusions I mean no offense to anyone of any religious persuasion. These thoughts that I have posted are part of my ongoing investigation of what this thing we call "religion" really is and how...

    How do Christian Wiccas interpret these bible verses?

    Leviticus 19:31 - Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I [am] the LORD your God. Exodus 22:18 - Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. Revelation 21:8 - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and...

    astral projection is biblical

    Where does it talk about how occult practice led people to God in this case? Look at it in context. It's not talking about black magic occultic divination; it's worth noting that the word used for "divination" also has other meanings, such as "experience" or "perceive". 27 And Laban said to...

    astral projection is biblical

    Here is that post i was going to give you supporting the view that the occult is biblical, i will respond to your other recent posts soon. Building a case from scripture that occult practice to receive hidden knowledge is not forbidden at all times. The occult is usually a mixture of different...

    Christians...Saved By Faith Alone?

    No, Paul specifically lists people who won't inherit the Kingdom like Angry people, drunkards, the sexually immoral, etc. That goes completely against what you're saying. Have you read Galatians? Even Paul goes directly against your Theology: Galatians 5: So Paul says that those who commit...

    Spiritualism, Demonology, and the State of the Dead are being taught through movies and TV.

    False ideas and doctrines from demons are being presented and its happening every night to people who arent even aware of it. The TV shows on witches, demons, sorcerers and occult are pushing all kinds of satanism to say nothing of the Harry Potter series and other movies that are coming out...

    Is Jealousy or Cunnilingus more of a sin?

    Yeah, but that's just the MARRIAGE bed - what about all those other beds?

    Is Jealousy or Cunnilingus more of a sin?

    Galatians 5:20 James 3, 14-16 Romans 13;13. 1 Corinthians 12:20 all talk about Jealousy mostly in a bad way. however Hebrews 13;4 says the marriage bed is undefiled. Therefore Jealousy is the greater sin.

    In the interest of being "FAIR AND BALANCED" I thought I would post some of the objections certain religious types have to the holiday. I found these quickly with a Google search: and and Nice.
