It is wrong to consult fortune tellers, or horoscopes? | ||||||
2 | Is it wrong to consult fortune tellers? | Deut 18:10 | BradK | 178602 | ||
Hello soldier2007, These are pagan practices and have no place for the believer. Israel was forbidden against it in Deut. 18:10, 14: "There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer,...For those nations, which you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice witchcraft and to diviners, but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you to do so." In the NT, we see the example of this being practiced for financial gain in Acts 16:16: "It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave-girl having a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling." Notice Paul's response in 16:18: "She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment." I hope this helps to answer your question. BradK |

Greetings Sister! Please, please, please think about this. You almost never point to scripture in your post. Some may be familiar enough with scripture to know what you refer to. Many who read along may not. It will also help cut down on confusion. As is, it comes across as your opinion with no scripture reference to back it up. If your intent is to teach the word of God, present it as such so the unlearned can be edified through God’s word. I pray you see my point and take this as it is intended! Your Brother in Christ, Steve |

If you read my post you will see that I have included scripture. Thanks for the input. I am a bit ovewhelmed when it comes to the word and I do need to take time and realize that there are other who don't know the word with out scripture. But when you read my responses most of them are in response to the scripture that was quoted already. God bless my prayers | ||||||

Greetings Sister! I did read your post. That's what prompted the request! Keep in mind, they are still there for all to see and they will remain for a long time. If you watch this forum long enough you will see someone respond to a post that was actually posted years ago. Just goes to show you never know who or when someone may actually read a post and if His word is taught accurately then the opportunity to teach and share with others goes far beyond the person you are talking with at that time. I do understand the zeal to share the word of our Lord God with others. I thank Him I too have this hunger for His word and to share it with others. My prayer is that we all handle it properly so that it may bring glory to the Lord God and that we all may grow in knowledge of His truth! Amen? God Bless, Steve |

Actually I humbled myself and agreed with you so there will be no more response to this matter from me. But I would appreciate if you read my other responses and you will get a better understanding. In all your getting get an understanding. In James 1:5 it says those that lack wisdom let them ask of God he will give it freely. I haven't had anyone else misunderstand me and if there is something that I wrote that wasn't understandable I am available to give a more inept discussion until there is an understanding. I may not always put the scripture in my post because I am responding to a question but I do quote from the scriptures and it's not hard to understand. God bless and please no more corrections. I'm not the only one not quoting scritpures when answering a question about a scripture. Have you ever heard of (paraphrasing). Some questions call for your opinion and common sense of which I sure everyone here has. But if scripture is needed i will supply it as I have in my other post. You and I two different people and you may answer a question diferently than I. Does that sound fair. As long as I'm not quoting the scriptures wrongly. | ||||||

Greetings once again Sister! Okay, we are moving on. I just hope you did not or do not misunderstand me. I would like to address something found in your post if I may. You say in your post "But I would appreciate if you read my other responses and you will get a better understanding. In all your getting get an understanding. In James 1:5 it says those that lack wisdom let them ask of God he will give it freely. I haven't had anyone else misunderstand me and if there is something that I wrote that wasn't understandable I am available to give a more inept discussion until there is an understanding." I noticed in some of your other post you use this same teaching regarding this scripture. Let me ask you this, is James 1:5 teaching one to ask God for wisdom that we may understand others or does this teach us to ask God for wisdom that we may understand Him and His ways? Is it not that we are to ask for wisdom that we may understand and know what it is He is teaching us through the trials we face? Consider the context of the verse. James 1:1-5 (KJV) 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. As you have taught it, is it accurate? If you believe so, will you explain please? Thank you and God Bless, Steve |
