Some very preliminary small tests. Seem to indicate psychedelics can also be used to treat stuttering, and alleviate some of the symptoms/traits of severe Autism in adults.
From an explicitly Christian perspective? I don’t necessarily see an issue with it. Provided you do it in controlled circumstances.
You would also need to keep in mind that many definitions we use today for defining what is and isn’t Christian outside those explicitly stated in the Bible. Were more or less set by the people who’d benefit from restricting access to certain things.
The Game of Thrones of Church politics was well underway by the time the Church began to organize into a cohesive whole. Especially when they began deciding the Canonical Books of the Bible and differentiating between Biblical Canon and Apocrypha. And undoubtedly various Kings, Politicians, Merchants, Emperors, and monied interests have seen fit to influence various councils and meetings of Church Leaders over the years. And hasn’t stopped ever since. Even as the church broke into its countless denominations
And all we really have to go is their word that they included everything. If they didn’t. Well it wouldn’t technically break any of Gods Laws regarding the Bible. As it still is the word of God. As they didn’t change it. It’s just not all of it. Which allows the twisting of what we do have. As we lack the additional texts that add context and clarity.
Disregarding any conspiracy at the moment. A good example is the fact many modern Christian Denominations disagree on the exact content of the official Bible.
Most Protestant Denominations recognize 66 books of the Bible.
Catholics recognize 73.
Ethiopian Church 88.
Orthodox Church 81. Though regional and cultural quirks means the number various regional churches recognize can vary somewhat. Sometimes even on a scale of town by town. But generally the Orthodox Churches recognize 81.
So on and so forth. With numbers and content sometimes varying by denomination.
So who’s right? There’s behaviors frowned upon or explicitly condemned in some denominations. That are accepted in others.
Hell. The whole reason the Puritans fled to the U.S was because they kept annoying and pissing off everyone who wasn’t Puritan. With dogmatic and strict views that forbid many things other Christian denominations didn’t have an issue with.
