Bible Note: 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 |
