Bible Question: Can anyone cite Scripture forbidding consulting astrology or horoscopes? |
Bible Answer: The Bible tells us that we are to worship the Creator not that which is created. A Christian is supposed to live by what is taught in the Word of God. When one looks up one's horoscope to see how he should spend his day, he is performing an act of worship. In other words, he is worshiping the planets and stars, and constellations [which are created by God] instead of the One Who created them. The Greatest Commandment tells us that we should have NO other gods before Him and in Romans 1:24-25 it says: "Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and WORSHIPPED AND SERVED THE CREATURE MORE THAN THE CREATOR, who is blessed forever." [KJV] So, from this, it seems to me that we must consult the Word of God for planning our lives, not some position or order of the stars or planets in the sky. I hope this is helpful to you. |
