Subject: Is astrology forbidden? |
Bible Note: Here is an excerpt from "In Touch" ministries.. [Repost of ID# 15707, submitted by Makarios.] "4. "Fate" determines many things in life. Stress, for example, is blamed for causing many things when in many cases, misplaced priorities and sin—both of which are subject to human will and human choices—are at the root of the problem. To believe in fate is to deny the omnipotence and omniscience of God. It is to say that there are moments in one's life in which God is not involved, does not know what is happening, or is not in control. Many people turn to astrology and horoscopes believing that they can find a clue there as to what will lie ahead for them on any given day; the Bible calls such practices idolatry because they put one's reliance on "fate" rather than on trust in God."
