1 | What type of "magic" do magi do? | Matt 2:1 | Pastor Shaun | 164364 | ||
What is more appropriate in this sacred story than God reaching the world through His Son? That the pagan world was responding is only a testament to the real need the world has for truth, and God's willingness to reach them. Who is to say that the shepherds were faithful men? The point is God used blue colar workers to proclaim truth, and foreign aristocrates to bow down. I think the story rocks! | ||||||

3 | Christ's Birth revealed to Astrologers? | Matt 2:1 | Pastor Shaun | 164361 | ||
There are several books out that explore the concept that the Zodiac is an ancient form of the gospel beginning with Virgo the virgin and ending with Leo the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. They have some interesting points. Satan has attempted to corrupt and twist all that God has designed. It could very well be that modern astrology is his attempt to mask yet another form of the gospel. If this is the case, we know that Daniel was placed in charge of the magi and could have briefed them on this "gospel in the stars" enough to cause them to take such an industrious journey to look for a "King of the Jews". There are also several books addressing what exactly the star was. They are plausible explanations; however, ultimately a star that you can follow a distance of a few miles must be something more than a star. I have found that when I percieve an impropriety with scripture it usually means I have filtered the text with a cultural filter. Things that today are associated with evil, may have a more nobel origin. |
