Man has been deceived since the Garden of Eden!
We seem to THINK we are smarter than Adam & Eve but we are NOT!
We are STILL guilty of practicing those "Sorceries" that God told us to avoid! We ALL need to re-examine modern medicine!
I'm trying to get off of ALL MEDICINE!
100 years ago an
#Evil Billionaire, with an Evil father, stamped out natural remedies which had existed for thousands of years, calling it "Quackery" (Like his father practiced)
NOT ALL DOCTORS WERE QUACKS at the time!
There were quacks in existence, Like Rockefeller Senior selling snake-oil! But there were actually doctors who healed people!
Living life day to day it is easy to forget that ideas can change the world sometimes much faster and more profoundly than we expect. Before the Civil War, for example, John D. Rockefeller was just a boy and his father “Big Bill” Rockefeller was a quack physician selling bottles of creosote to cancer patients for 25 dollars apiece. The family, as might be expected, moved frequently.
What Rockefeller did was to SELL YOU MORE SNAKE-OIL!
Only he used ACTUAL OIL to make his!
The Bible told us to AVOID THESE "Sorceries" and that's what we SHOULD HAVE DONE!
Is it possible that God was speaking of these "Healers" in Pergamos? Many say he was speaking of the Catholic Church from
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
The following is from "Gnostic Warrior" which I don't put a lot of faith in, but it demonstrates that these "Healers" were from Pergamos!
Many Gnostics and priests of healing were born and trained at Pergamon such as Galen who was the main disciple of the Kohanim Levite and Father of Medicine, Hippocrates. Even many Roman emperors whose ancestors came from these lands would travel all the way from Rome to be treated here.
Today, this church would represent the Catholic from the time of Constantine, and onward. For the church it represents the principal seat at Rome, where Satan dwelt, Revelation 2:13; which signifies exalted likewise; and it introduces the man of sin, antichrist, the popes of Rome, who exalted themselves above all that is called God, princes, kings, and emperors.
