If Satan does it, it is.

I suppose that would do it.

 

[Belk]

No.

Astrology links cause-and-effect to the configuration of the stars.

I thought it used read the stars for "signs and portents" of coming events? Is that not what the scripture was saying?

Astrology does it for everyday life using obscure reasoning, and it doesn't really, some honest magazine astrologists have admitted they just made it up.

There are people who study it seriously. In high school, my best friend's mom was an astrologist.

One of my favorite articles was "Astrology for Other People". I remember the lead-in as "We all know that we are smart, warm, fun, etc, but what about Aunt Sadie and that nasty boy down the hall? These profiles are for them".

Gemini had something about being so shallow that their first thought when the cat died would be where to get the new cat.

Astrology is one of those things that I would have liked to believe, but just couldn't.

If Sondra Locke married Elliott Ness, then divorced him to marry Herman Munster?

If Liv Ullman married Judge Lance Ito, then divorced him and married Jerry Mathers?

Christianity has more to validate it than Mithraism.
Didn't Christianity Borrow From Other Religions?

"The resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth is the central doctrine of the Christian faith. Without it, Christianity would not be the unique claim to ‘Truth’ that it is."

Exactly as I thought:

I always thought that Christianity existed from since the beginning of creation as “the Lamb (Christ) that was slain from the creation of the world” “For he chose us (Christians) in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight”...Rev 13:8, Eph 1:4.

They would live happily ever after with their new spouses? I think I'm missing something here...

That's quite an embellishment.

You don't put retroactive falsification on paper and get away with it.

Three different [human] authors wrote the same thing.

That's more than coincidental.

How come we don't see Mayan/Chinese/Indian/European cultures talking about the sun suddenly going out for no apparent reason?

 

[Jazmyn]

It was "over the whole/all the land", not worldwide.
"From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land." (Matthew 27:45)

"At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour." (Mark 15:33)

"It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour," (Luke 23:44)

How do you know they didn't?

All related through culture and history. Where are the Mayan, Chinese, Aztec, Native American records corroborating the same?

Gone to dust?

Gone to dust?

So, non-existent evidence for those cultures but the cultures connected to the Christianity mythos do have those records? Maybe it's mere coincidence. However, that doesn't negate the fact that such evidence doesn't exist, regardless.

You bet we do.

You see --- the records that were written outside of God's inspiration are/were subject to nature; and nature doesn't take kindly to things existing eternally.

This is why Mother Nature is going to soon get a reality check.

Even if they were outside God's inspiration, wouldn't they have observed at least a partial eclipse and recorded it? I mean after all, the Mayans are known to have kept detailed records of solar and lunar eclipses, the movement of the planets and stars, etc. Why wouldn't they have at least a "secular" record of this happening?

For the second time --- who says they didn't?

What makes you think they didn't write it down in real-time or ex post facto?

God promised He would preserve His Word, not the words of the Mayans.

So the Mayan records did not fall under God's umbrella of protection --- hence they got dusted.
