Your generalizations and little 'Perhaps' sayings mean nothing whatsoever...

What we are discussing is whether or not modern medicines, and modern medical technologies are really 'witchcraft', as has been stated, and are they prohibited by the Bible?...

This is not an attack on one person, its a questioning of what part modern medicine plays in peoples lives, and is it witchcraft, or is it not witchcraft?...

"what part modern medicine plays in peoples lives, and is it witchcraft, or is it not witchcraft?..."

Most modern medicines are obviously not evil and are in fact "subduing and taking dominion over the world" which is directly commanded in the Bible. (in the supposedly evil book of Genesis). Luke, an eyewitness of Jesus Christ, was in fact a practitioner of the modern medicine of his day and includes details a doctor would point out in the Gospel of Luke. Many Christian scientists and doctors have made notable contributions to the advancement of modern medicine.


There are some modern medicines/practices which are obviously evil i.e. abortion for example. Most abortions are most likely not motivated by anything related to witchcraft and are likely motivated by self-centeredness or motivated by ideologies and religions which believe abortion is good and should be advocated. Just because most abortions are not motivated by witchcraft doesn't mean that some abortions performed may be motivated by witchcraft or that witchcraft never participates in infanticide.


Evolution is a one such religion which has a difficult time finding a ethical basis for calling for abortion evil. In fact, the humanist manifesto II, which is built on the doctrine of evolution, openly advocates it. The philosophical basis of "man is nothing more the an intellectual animal" and "man is so intelligent that he should direct his future evolution" indeed provide the philosophical basis for advocating for abortion in humanist manifesto II.

Thanks for the ping, andysandmikesmom!
