Featured The doorway of Drugs to the spirit world

So a game that encourages slaying evil monsters is occultic?

 

Yeah, Don, we've been around that mountain already here: http://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=95581

Our friend evangelist basically withdrew fellowship from his fellow BB members who have ever played D&D because we were playing with the occult. It got ugly, even after repeated attempts to prove to him the manner in which we played was not 'satanic.'




By the by, I know you were there... :smilewinkgrin:

 

the bible also says look not upon the wine when it is red and giveth a color (not word for word exact quote), it says is biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder.

Look not even upon it is a lot stronger than "moderation"

 

I addressed this and you avoided it.

There is a huge difference from seeking relief through medication, and seeking pleasure through drug highs.

The two prescribed manners also produce very different effects.

There is obviously a grey area in between the two.

 

Wine does not always have to mean fermeneted.

back in the day grape juice was called Welches unfermented wine.

 

You gave an example of cough medicine earlier. Obviously you aren't making a fair comparison. A fair comparison would be someone prescribed Dilaudid. Those using Dilaudid, legally, often experience hallucinations and a detachment from reality. Would you say that this prescribed and legal use of drugs provides the same access to demons as illegal drug use does?

 

So are you saying that the attitude and motivation of the person taking the drugs determines whether or not taking it will be a gateway to the spirit world?

 

Ah, but drugs taken because of medical issues and prevention are abused just like pleasure-type drugs.

 

Nice. :thumbs:

 

I thought we were driving towards the idea that just using a drug that produces some sort of hallucinogenic effect was a potential opening of this metaphorical door. I doubt very seriously the side effects of medicine are different if you're taking the drug legally or illegally.

 

Funny; that's what we're trying to get YOU to do.

 

I've been trying to drive to that point this whole thread and have been systematically ignored. Obviously it's evangelist6589's opinion that demons have some type of gentlemen's agreement to not mess with people utilizing drugs legally.

I wonder, does this apply to pot in Colorado? So a guy in Florida smoking pot can be influenced by demons, but the guy in Colorado is off limits?

 

That is one of the funniest things I've read today. Thanks, brother. :thumbs:

 

Another mystery is if you hold to Total Depravity or Total Inability or whatever it's being called nowadays, you can't be any more spiritually dead than you already are, you don't seek God, and therefore why would demons need a person to be a hallucinating drug user to make it "easier" for them to possess a person?
