1 | Why did it take the wise men so long... | NT general Archive 1 | ashestobeauty | 27735 | ||
Do you believe God designed the stars as a form of learning for us to know Him better and "astrology" is just a counterfeit that Satan uses to distort that. Is it possible to find things out about God in the stars in a balanced way that can be beneficial to us as Christians? I guess what I'm trying to say is... where the wise men into astrology or did God reveal to them about the birth of Christ. An interesting fact: I was told that the gifts they brought where God's way of supporting Joseph and Mary financially. Ever heard that one before? |

Greetings AshestoBeauty! I think of the Magi as more like astronomers than astrologers. I think that they saw something unusual in the sky and, like any good scientist, began to ask questions about it. Their questions led them to Daniel's teachings about the coming Messiah. I have heard the idea that the gifts were used to provide support for Joseph and Mary. It makes sense! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
