Swearing Oaths to Medical Deities

James 5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

Would you give your body to men who swear to medical Gods? (devils)
\when the Lord Jesus has given us elders who have Hands with the Power to heal

James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.}

Rod of Asclepius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search Rod of Asclepius
The Rod of Asclepius is an ancient Greek symbol associated with astrology and healing the sick with medicine. It consists of a serpent entwined around a staff. Asclepius, the son of Apollo, was practitioner of medicine in ancient Greek mythology. He was instructed in medicine by the centaur Chiron also connected to the constellation Ophiuchus.

Who was Asclepius? Asclepius was most probably a skilled physician who practised in Greece around 1200BC (and described in Homer's Iliad). Eventually through myth and legend he came to be worshipped as Asclepius, the (Greek) god of Healing. [See BBC reference]
Medical schools developed, which were usually connected to temples or shrines called Asclepions (Asclepieia) dedicated to Asclepius. The Asclepion became very important in Greek society. Patients believed they could be cured by sleeping in them. They would visit, offering gifts and sacrifices to the god, and be treated by priest healers (called the Asclepiadae). The worship of Asclepius spread to Rome and continued as late as the sixth century.
The Asclepiadae were a large order of priest physicians who controlled the sacred secrets of healing, which were passed from father to son. Harmless Aesculapian snakes were kept in the combination hospital-temples built by the ancient Greeks and, later, by the Romans in honor of the god. The snakes are found not only in their original range of southern Europe, but also in the various places in Germany and Austria where Roman temples had been established. Escaped snakes survived and flourished.
Smooth, glossy, and slender, the snake has a uniformly brown back with a streak of darker color behind the eyes. The snake's belly is yellowish or whitish and has ridged scales that catch easily on rough surfaces, making it especially adapted for climbing trees. Scientific classification: The Aesculapian snake belongs to the family Colubridae. It is classified as Elaphe longissima.
Meditrine, Hygeia and Panacea: The children of Asclepius included his daughters Meditrina, Hygeia and Panacea who were symbols of medicine, hygiene and healing (literally, "all healing") respectively. Two of the sons of Asclepius appeared in Homer's Illiad as physicians in the Greek army (Machaon and Podalirius).
Despite the unequivocal claim of the staff of Asclepius to represent medicine (and healing), the caduceus, a rod with two entwined serpents topped by a pair of wings appears to be the more popular symbol of medicine in the United States, probably due to simple confusion between the caduceus and the staff of Asclepius, the true symbol of medicine. Many people use the word caduceus to mean both of these emblems.

Yet in regards to Hobart Freeman’s position on Healing
He was correct and His understanding of the spiritual danger of
compromising with sorcery was Sound Doctrine
So what happened ? With those who are compromising?

Matthew 14:35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
Matthew 14:36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Five,

As Bob Vila always says on his home improvement show:

"It's good to have you home again!"

Duncan

Are you a Overcomer? walking in the Spirit?
have you crucified the flesh? do you trust in the Arm of the flesh?
Do you commit sin? Or overcome sin? are you of this World?
Or not of this world? Do you Have the Full Amour of God on?
Have you put on the new man which after God is Created
In righteousness and true Holiness? Have you received the power
To become the sons of God? Do you tread on scorpions and serpents?
And have power over all the power of the enemy?
Are you more than a conqueror?
Is He that is in you greater than he that is in this world?
Are you part of MY church?

Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Do you have signs following you? Have you laid hands on the sick?
Have they recovered? Have you cast out devils? Are you
Baptized in the Holy Ghost? Have you spoken in Tongues?
DO YOU HAVE A PROPHET?
Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

Receive the Truth! Be Blessed
In Jesus’s mighty name!

As for Bob - Good line.

Thanks for the clarification, and the words. I guess I'm not up to date on all of my acronyms.

"DO YOU HAVE A PROPHET?"


We don't need no stinking prophet!

Prophets are for cults.

Prophets were for the Old Testament times before Christ.

The Holy Spirit replaces the need for prophets.

Well look who is back...fivefoldfalseprophet. What false prophecies do you have for us today, Michael? I will give you this though...at least we can agree on what you said about the medical deities and what Hobart Freeman taught. I just wish that the others in this forum would realize that Brother Freeman was right about the teachings (or shall Isay say...warnings...about trusting in the arm of the flesh.

Seriously though, Michael...it is nice to see you back. I hope we can get along better than we did the last time. I just hope that you don't accuse me anymore of the falsities that you did the last time. All you need to do is simply apolgize for the harm that you did.

Franklin,

Not to argue, but there is the office of a prophet listed several places in the New Testament, so it is not just for the OT. However, I believe the New Testament office is much different from the Old Testament, because they did not have the benefit of the Bible in the OT. Today, we have the Bible, which is all-sufficient to teach us and answer our questions. I see the office of a prophet today as one who proclaims the Word of God as found in the scripture, not someone who delivers a message that has never been heard before (such as the case in the OT.)

Just my thoughts.

I'm not justifying Fivers calling, Frank, but I'm nevertheless real sorry to burst your bubble.

Ephesians 4 : 11-14.

...And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; ....

Looks like Franklin is back with his garbage.

But look...he deleted his post before I got to read it. What a shame!

To not need prophets sounds like the cessationists gibberish that it all passed away with the completion of the canon garbage.

I agree with the word which says that God gave us prophets, as well as the other offices in Eph 4. They will be here until the rapture takes place.

"Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:"

That happened at the Nicene Council. The books that were deemed to be inspired by God were compiled into the sacred Holy Bible. From there on we had enough of the unity of faith, the definition of our beliefs so that we "henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; ....".

That time has come and gone. Anyone claiming to be a prophet nowadays is a deceiver.

some are called ,some are sent ,some just packed up their bags and went.....

1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

1 Cor. 14:32 (KJV) And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
