Does Astrology Work?

Good morning,
Door County Egg Nog Coffee is in the cup.
Winter is on my mind.
Today we will discuss a topic that many people think is harmless. Skunks might be cute, but do you invite them into your home? Astrology is false, dangerous and should not be considered "entertainment or harmless".
Follow me as we study.
Does Astrology Work?
The book of Genesis says: “God made two great lights: the larger one to govern the day and the smaller one to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set these lights in the sky to light the earth.” (Genesis 1:16-17 ) Clearly, God created the heavenly bodies to light the earth, but not to function as a therapist, oracle, or god. The idea that the sun moon and stars have a mind of their own has been disproved by modern science, so there is no need to perpetuate it with a belief in astrology.

Is Astrology “Bad”?
Horoscopes, sun signs, and psychics all operate on the premise that heavenly bodies and celestial events determine what will happen in people's lives. However, the Bible says that only God determines our lives: “You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your Book.” (Psalm 139:16)

Therefore, people who consult the stars are relying on the creation instead of the creator who made them. Looking to anything other than God for guidance and assistance is not just an insult to the almighty, but is also idolatry,which is forbidden by God: “Do not worship any god except me. Do not make idols that look like anything in the sky…” (Exodus 20:3-4)

God bless.
Marty
