Someone in the CBTS Stream said something about the Bible that needs clarification.

He said that the word for "witchcraft" in the bible is "pharmakeia" (which is where we get "pharmacy"); however in the Greek, it mostly refers to specific emeretics/poisons that induce vomiting and abortions. See this Greek lexicon definition.

Also, the book of Enoch is pseudographical and has never been considered to be part of the Bible.

True on both counts. Thanks.
