Yes, the Bible condemns astrology. No, the Bible approves of astrology. Lev.19:26 Neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times. Dt.18:10-12 There shall not be found among you any ... that useth divination, or an observer of times.... For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD. Is.47:13-14 Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. Jer.10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. Gen.1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: Jg.5:20 The stars in their courses fought against Sisera. Mt.2:1-2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Dear All, All the prophets, saints and incarnations of God ( relevant to Hinduism) have cautioned against too much reliance on astrology, as it leads to procastination amongst the weak, and those going thru troubled times. For some "rationalists" used to logical way of thinking, the existence of astrology creates a chicken and egg/ catch 22 situation. All these things happened thru the ages and will continue. The above 2 are seemingly anti-astrological but the motive behind their "anti" stance is different. Of course the reaction's severity depends on later day opinion shapers like priests, and politicians. What the religious books said was to take astrology with a pinch - nay a fistfull of wisdom and keep on doing your work for which you have taken birth. --- On Thu, 27/3/08, Sreenadh <sreesog wrote: Sreenadh <sreesog Bible contraditions and astrology Date: Thursday, 27 March, 2008, 1:41 PM Dear All, Check this link: http://skepticsanno tatedbible. com/contra/ astrology. html Does the Bible condemn astrology?
