Astrology & Christianity

[Jamie09]

Hi folks,

I was reading up on some general astrology stuff and was wondering whether it is something we should not believe in as a Christian?

I think it's bad business to put your faith in the stars.

think the Babylonian Priest did this, might be wrong

what about the 3 wise men, where were they from? They followed the Stars

Hi All,

Actually the 3 wise men followed 1 star. They physically followed it.

Astrology ( my understanding) is to follow the stars ie to base your life on what they are supposed to predict/say according to some person who is supposed to understand the planetary systems, and somehow derives meaning and direction from their motion.

I think it is not right to do so, because of this:

Deuteronomy 4
9 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

After all, if you need directions why look to the stars? Why not look to the Creator of the stars?
God Bless You All,
Isaia

I was addicted to astrology from age 13 to age 34. I couldn't stop reading the 3 monthly magazines for 15 years after I got saved.
It brings demons in your life, it is forbidden by God. It doesn't come true, either.
There are not only 12 different personalities in the world. A planet "moving into your 4th house" means nothing.
It is truly a snare of the devil. I do know whereof I speak.
