Pharmakeia: Drugs, Sorcery, and Christian Faith

from Jamin AI · host Jamin Bradley

In this episode of Jamin AI, we explore the ancient Greek word pharmakeia—a term that shows up in Scripture with surprisingly dark implications. While it’s the root of our modern words for “pharmacy” and “pharmaceuticals,” the Bible uses it to describe sorcery and spiritual deception. What does that mean for how we view drug use today—both medically and recreationally? And how do we discern the spiritual risks of substances meant to heal, numb, or enlighten? Join us as we unpack the biblical warnings, historical context, and modern implications of mixing drugs with the supernatural.Read the original post: https://jaminbradley.com/2018/05/02/pharmakeia-drugs-and-sorcery/
