  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi All,

think the Babylonian Priest did this, might be wrong

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

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.
