Christianity and Astrology
August 14th 2011 20:41
I have heard a lot of Christians say that since the bible talks about prophecy and the stars above that engaging in astrology must be okay. These people would be wrong.
The Difference
Christianity: This faith depends on God through and through. Each true Christian will ask God to lead and guide them, to send them signs and help them.
Astrology: depends on the stars alignments and what “fate” they will endure.
Definitions
Astrology: is the ancient art or science of divining the fate and future of human beings from indications given by the positions of the stars
Horoscope: is a chart of the position of the stars, used to predict their influence on people's lives.
Occult: magic, astrology, and other alleged sciences claiming use or knowledge of secret, mysterious, or supernatural agencies- occult practices include witchcraft and sorcery, Satanism, spiritualism, fortune-telling, and psychics.
Scriptures to Read
Deuteronomy 4:15-30
2 Kings 23
Isaiah 47
2 Timothy 3
Romans 1
If you are looking to the stars to tell you your fate (horoscopes) or if you make your plans based on your zodiac sign, these are ways you are committing idolatry.
