There are those that say the 'Magi' who were guided by the star were actually being guided by something rather less than holy--since the consequence of their visit alerting Herod to the 'new King' was the subsequent slaughter of male children under the age of two in the lands near the sighting.
So was the star a miracle of God or something darker? Or just legend? Talk amongst yourselves. Me, I'm gonna have some more eggnog.
LOL. And "those" people have had too much eggnog. ;-)
That's like saying if a Christian missionary brings the Gospel to a remote place and persecution of Christians follow there, then the missionary must have been sent by the Devil. Satan is always trying to interfere with God's plan. What's new about that? It was God who organized the universe, not Satan. If the heavens give signs, God is the author of the message, not the Devil.
I'd suggest reading the info at the site.
What I find most interesting, and most overlooked, is that the Bible saya that the Magi saw the star, but makes no reference whatsoever (at least that I can recall) to any other persons seeing and following the star. And, as my pastor recently pointed out, after coming to worship the Christ child, in a dream they received word to go back a different way than they'd came. Just like you and I. Once called to Christ, we can't go back the same way we came. Oddly enough, the Magi, pagans from the East, came to worship the newborn King, while the religious leaders stayed away.
