Hi Stjohn, Yes, I am a Christian. When I filled out the registration, I typed-in my birth date. They put Taurus in there. Also, when I began the site and first filled out the registration, I did not intend it to be focused on the Bible only. However, the Bible is a collection of books. I'd have to say Ephesians is one of my most favorite books within it. However, if a person were on a desert island, and only one of the books of the Bible washed ashore, I think ACTS would be the best suited. You seem to be very observant, and good at noticing things. Had you read the first article, you would have also read this: "Please bear with me. I walk through the Bible in the same way I often walk through the woods ... very slowly, stopping often, being sure to take everything in. I love the woods. And, I love the Bible." Hope that answers everything ok. Thanks for asking. Ken |

kvrock: Extract from your post 196791: "When I filled out my registration, I typed in my birth date. They put Taurus in there." ..... To whom, pray tell us, does "they" refer: who "put Taurus in there"? Sir, we are not prepared to believe, not for an instant, that the Lockman Foundation has suddenly begun to supplement Bible study with astrology. Will you please explain, if you can, this enigma to us at Study Bible Forum? --Hank | ||||||

Good morning Hank, Ok, I see what happened here. I have a website called OBSERVATIONS on Google's Blogspot. When I filled out their registration form, it asked for my birth date. That template rendered the zodiacal Taurus and Boar without me ever typing it in. Then a month later, when I registered for this forum I came to the place where the StudyBibleForum asked for a profile. Instead of typing a profile all over again, I went to Google's profile, copied and pasted it in without ever noticing what they did until you pointed it out. I removed those words from my profile last night so there wouldn't be any misunderstanding. The "they" I mentioned pertains to Google. By the same token, I noticed you signed your note of inquiry simply as Hank, yet you referred to yourself at least twice in the plural, as "us" and "we". Can you please explain? I never have had anything to do with astrology. But, since you brought the subject up, astrology is the mis-use of information placed in the heavens by God himself. Joseph had a dream where he says the 12 tribes of Israel are symbolized by the Zodiac. The tribes of Israel were later instructed by God to make their camp in the form of a Zodiac. David said night after night the heavens "declare" and show forth knowledge (they teach the story of the coming of Christ). Being pictorial, it transcends all language barriers. But, like a lot of the information God has offered mankind, it has been corrupted to the point where the created "thing" is worshiped instead of the One that created it. In fact, taken to an extreme, a person can worship their Bible instead of using it as the tool God intended. A well used Bible should be full of handwritten notes in it's margin, referring scripture to scripture. It should be dog-eared, worn out, and replaced as often as needed. It is to be used and not worshiped. Take it easy Hank, we're all in this thing (life) together. If I can be of any further assistance, shoot me a note. Ken |
