Please do not post birthday dates online.
Also, horoscopes are demonic. (Don’t want my name on the list if this becomes the practice.)

Should a Christian consult horoscopes?
https://www.gotquestions.org/horoscopes-Christian.html

The purpose of a horoscope is to gain insight into a person’s character and foretell the future. The basic belief of astrology is that planets and stars exert an influence upon our lives. Those with special knowledge—astrologers—can predict events in a person’s life. It is distressing that most major newspapers have a horoscope column, and even more distressing that many Christians read their horoscopes.

The Bible expressly forbids divination, sorcery, and hidden arts (Deuteronomy 18:10-14). God’s people are to heed God only (Deuteronomy 18:15). Any other source of guidance, information, or revelation is to be rejected outright. (See also Acts 16:16-18.) The Bible points to Jesus Christ as the only proper focus of faith (Acts 4:12; Hebrews 12:2). Our trust is in God alone, and we know that He will direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). Faith in anything besides God is misplaced.

Astrology, then, opposes biblical teaching in at least two ways: it advocates faith in something other than God, and it is a form of divination. We cannot determine God’s will for our lives through horoscopes. As Christians, we are to read the Bible and pray to God in order to gain wisdom and guidance. Consulting a horoscope is a violation of God’s means of communicating with His children. We strongly believe that horoscopes should be rejected by Christians.

I'm saying it again, just a bit louder:

The Bible expressly forbids divination, sorcery, and hidden arts (Deuteronomy 18:10-14). God’s people are to heed God only (Deuteronomy 18:15). Any other source of guidance, information, or revelation is to be rejected outright. (See also Acts 16:16-18.)

I am very passionate about this subject.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

stars & stripes, you gave your birthday date for the birthday list to someone else a LONG time ago because it was already on the list before I got it. If you didn't want it posted WHY did you give it to someone?

I AM a CHRISTIAN. I DON'T BELIEVE in the power and authority of astrology AND I don't practice it.

I consider what I posted as NOTHING MORE THEN TRIVIA.

I AM SORRY it has offended you and Jemian and probably others.

Before I posted Oct.& Nov. Birthdays I was ASKED, OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE SKY (I wonder why) by Jane to send the BD list to her and Granny and THEY would do them.

It APPEARS that I can do NOTHING RIGHT on THIS TRAIN.

Granny, don't you think I don't notice the little DIGS? Like today when you asked me:
"Please add the Boss, Jim Robinson, Nov. 3rd, to our TFT Birthday list."
Thank you."

THEN YOU ADDED

"He is on the ping list after all."

I guess that statement was because I HAD ADDED some people WHO I SAW post on the Train and asked if they wanted on the BD list NOT KNOWING AT THE TIME They WERE NOT on YOUR PING LIST.

TWO POSTINGS AFTER THAT, Jane, in response, posts to YOU, a WINKING SMILEY

So Granny I WILL be sending YOU the BD list as I AM NOW WASHING MY HANDS of it.
