Title: HOROSCOPES???
Post by: NateyCakes on February 19, 2004, 09:04:47 AM
I know of a few Christian ppl who absolutely love these things. I have always thought of them as evil & nothing more then stupidity at its best. Some of these ppl (Some friends) say there is nothing wrong, they are just harmless.
Am I being too stuffy about it that I am 100% against them or does anyone else see a problem with them?
Thanks all.

I know a lot of people who read  them as well. Yet what most people don't know is it is witchcraft. You are right. They are evil. I see a ploblem with them too. First the more a person gets into horoscopes the less they obey God. Horoscopres is the devils tool, just one of the tools the devil uses. Horoscopes can also lead a person into all kinds of evil stuff such as...trying to reach a dead person, its also lost hope, among others.

Doesn't astrology date back to ancient pagan cultures and came out of their primitive scientific knowledge of believing the movement of the stars, planets, sun, and moon influenced the things that happened on earth.

Does not God overrule such thought? He is in control.

Acts 13:8-11

8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,

10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
KJV

2 Chron 33:6

6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger
KJV

2 Kings 21:6

6 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
KJV

Isa 8:19

19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
KJV

Isa 47:13-14

13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.

14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
KJV
