Scott,
You wrote.[...I am interested...if you would cite...].
The subject here is if the bible in question here prescribes that those that use, provide, ect mind-altering chemicals will be cast into the Lake of Fire. There has been a citation of Rev 21:8 where BF posts a link to an exposition of that chapter that does say that {sorcerers} are those involved some way in drug-induced conditions.
The word in that bible, {sorcerer} is translated from a Greek word, [...pharmakeia, pharmakeus...]. We get the word {pharmacy} and {pharmaceuticals} from that Greek word. The discussion here is if these passages are about or not the use of mind-altering drugs that could be a part of {sorcery} that the bible here prescribes that those that practice such are cast into the Lake of fire according to verses in the book called revelation and other books also.
That bible writes about what happens to the sorcerers in Rev 21:8 and in other passages such as Rev 22:14-15 among other verses in other books.
The concern here by me is to offer support and education to save lives. And to offer what has been revealed to me about the scriptures in question concerning the fate of those that use mind-altering chemicals, also called medicines here. And if you could ask other questions, I could have the opportunity to respondd accordingly.
