AIN'T GOSPEL - JUST MY THOUGHTS
Astrology
Astrology
is one of God's many truths, a truth on which we
are not to base our beliefs.

A dozen years ago I was
involved in an ongoing battle with a
"white" witch. This witch was the host
of a popular, local, talk-radio show. I knew that
our debate the next morning was going to be based
on astrology.
I knew that there was power
and a certain amount of accuracy in astrology. I
had seen it all my life and as a Christian I
could never understand how such a forbidden topic
could be so accurate! I had always been taught to
stay far away from the science of predicting
anything, based on the stars. I was a Christian
and knew the Lord Jesus very well but I could
never understand how it could be.
Knowing the next morning
would be the moment I would have to make this
confession which was going to weaken my
"witness" as a Christian... I engaged
in a very powerful prayer for wisdom and guidance
from my Father in Heaven.
WOW!!!
He answered with a great
amount of reassurance... that "astrology was
one of His many truths!" He was the Creator
of all, including this science. However, it is
only a small part of His total truth and we are
not to base our faith on a minor
part of His total and complete truth. This is but
one of His many laws of physics and was not
created to be worshipped or trusted as a power
under which to pattern our lives.... these are
only a MINOR PART of His laws of physics. We all
know how fish and wildlife respond to a full moon
as related to feeding frenzies, etc... Because
fish bite on a full moon, at night, does not mean
we are to worship a full moon... a little on the
simple side but you get the idea! He went on to
show me that we are to believe in His total truth
through His Son Jesus! The scriptures tell us
that there will be those who worship the
"creation" instead of The Creator! Many
will not make it into the Kingdom because of this
form of "Idol" worship.
Recognizing that ALL THINGS
are under God's creation we must know that to
pattern our lives after any ONE of His laws is
not approved by Him. God created the Oak Tree but
to worship the oak tree or conduct our lives
according to 'how" an oak leaf curls at the
tips is as sinful as it is to shape our lives
according to the stars... all of which are His
creation... Of course I only used the "Oak
Tree" synopsis as an example... to my
knowledge there is no such practice. There may be
some degree of accuracy in these in-part powers,
such as astrology, but not to be worshiped or
acknowledged as to how we live. These natural
laws of physics are not 100% accurate! There is
truth and substance but not to be a governing
influence.
I repeat; we are to believe
in HIS TOTAL TRUTH through His Son Jesus!
Jesus sent The Holy Spirit
(comforter) to us 50 days after His ascension
into Heaven. The Holy Spirit, aka, "The
Comforter," arrived 50 days after Jesus
ascended and is known as the day of Pentecost.
Through the wisdom we receive through the Holy
Spirit we come to understand the "keys"
which allow us to make the transition... the
transition into that "New Creature."
That "New Creature" which enters His
Kingdom.
Come with us who know His
complete and eternal truths... come with us into
the Kingdom!
