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.) 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 am very passionate about this subject.
RE:HOROSCOPES
Churches let up on educating people about horoscopes in our area. Now wiccan tarot card shops are popping up in our communities.
Geez Louise Jem.....I near fell off my chair lol.
Here’s the thing...I also don’t practice divination, but I understand not everyone has had the same teaching. Many churches speak very little about these things.
I posted a little while back about outright witchcraft that someone on the thread was promoting to us. Shamanism, gaia, new age paganism....pure occult. Nobody seemed remotely bothered by it except me, and norsky, who pointed it out. (I believe you were not on the thread much at that time).
While we’re at it, I also think Halloween is demonic. We never acknowledged it, and neither do the grands. I understand, though, that many Christians have no problem with it. It is the occult’s high “holy” day, so that took care of any question about it for me....plus it saved me doing the whole costume thing and buying a bunch of garbage to stuff into kids lol. Pragmatic!
