THIS 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!
