It has nothing to do with the planets. You've been deceived. Astrology is linked to these "gods". These gods are actually fallen angels in disguise. This is a way they get you to praise/look to other gods. There is only one god.

When you go to astrology for answers, you're putting your trust and faith into that instead of god. If you want answers, go to god.

We're so into astrology because it gives us answers... knowledge. Satan (the serpent) told Eve that she'll be like god when she ate from that tree. Knowing all things. Knowledge. Satan clearly loves tempting us with knowledge and POWER. Don't let him deceive you. It is not worth it. You know what happened when Eve did so.

If god wants us to know something, he'll show us. This is how Satan gets us. He gives us these things to trap us. Not to mention, by indulging in astrology; you are inviting demons into your life. Leave astrology alone and repent. God is against divination and astrology falls in that catergory. This information we're receiving are from demons not planets. Which one sounds more realistic to you?

It won't be easy to let it go. I know. But it's for the best and it's not worth it. God bless and good luck.

But then why do people end being exactly like their sign, though? I'm not into astrology either but the signs do actually be on point sometimes. It's weird but it's the truth.

The Bible has much to say about the stars. Most basic to our understanding of the stars is that God created them. They show His power and majesty. The heavens are God’s “handiwork” (Psalm 8:3; 19:1). He has all the stars numbered and named (Psalm 147:4).

The Bible also teaches that God arranged the stars into recognizable groups that we call constellations. The Bible mentions three of these: Orion, the Bear (Ursa Major), and “the crooked serpent” (most likely Draco) in Job 9:9; 26:13; 38:31-32; and Amos 5:8. The same passages also reference the star group Pleiades (the Seven Stars). God is the One Who “fastens the bands” of these constellations; He is the One who brings them forth, “each in its season.” In Job 38:32, God also points to the “Mazzaroth,” usually translated “constellations.” This is thought by many to be a reference to the twelve constellations of the zodiac.

The constellations have been tracked and studied for millennia. The Egyptians and Greeks knew of the zodiac and used it to measure the beginning of spring centuries before Christ. Much has been written of the meaning of the zodiacal constellations, including theories that they comprise an ancient display of God’s redemptive plan. For example, the constellation Leo can be seen as a celestial depiction of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5), and Virgo could be a reminder of the virgin who bore Christ. However, the Bible does not indicate any “hidden meaning” for these or other constellations.

The Bible says that stars, along with the sun and moon, were given for “signs” and “seasons” (Genesis 1:14); that is, they were meant to mark time for us. They are also “signs” in the sense of navigational “indicators,” and all through history men have used the stars to chart their courses around the globe.

God used the stars as an illustration of His promise to give Abraham an innumerable seed (Genesis 15:5). Thus, every time Abraham looked up at the night sky, he had a reminder of God’s faithfulness and goodness. The final judgment of the earth will be accompanied by astronomical events relating to the stars (Isaiah 13:9-10; Joel 3:15; Matthew 24:29).

Astrology is black magic that's the way the ancient civilizations saw it when they first started to study it you had to be very secretive about it so the churches wouldn't find out and punish you as long as its used for the greater good I don't see harm in studying it we need to understand each other better as humans so we can get along better the way "god" intended just beware of physics readers they can put bad juju on you it's happend to a friend of mine he's never been the same since

If I'm not mistaken, satan borrows from god a lot. Taking bits of the truth. I think what youre reffering to is astronomy, not astrology. If im not mistaken, the three wise men used the stars and constellations to get to a destination and thats it.

Knowledge is power. And knowledge makes us question God. Honestly, how can you love a god who only accepts people when they accept him? If god created us... he would know the human condition, and wouldn't he know we dont know any better? Wouldnt he know we have no idea if hes real or not? Wouldnt he know that humans make mistakes? I just think God is such a load of crock. I believe there is something. There has been so much that has happened to me in life that i believe more than the physical plain. But God is definitely got to be last on the list.

I'm pretty sure that if I was a Scorpio, I wouldn't be the way that I am today. Our maybe, I dunno. We're both fixed.

I respect your opinion and happy you respect mine ☺

I just feel like he is a bit judgemental though. He only lets those into heaven that have accepted him. Its silly because he knows humans dont know any better.

By knowing better, i mean how are we to know hes there? What if youre brought up in an atheist home and arent taught otherwise? Does this person still go to heaven, even if they did everything right? And why are child molesting priests speaking the word of God.. and why does society hide these facts from the public and let them continue on to new venues to speak words of God? Blech. Watch spotlight. And read the number of cities it happens on the list afterwards.

There's a God or God and Goddess, or Gods. Hell a Divine Power. Whatever you wish to call that energy.

There's a spiritual world that we are apart of and the problem is man made churches dividing everyone to believe one thing and not the other.

There is no hell you will burn in.

God is all forgiving and you don't have to be stuck in a church paying some crooked man all your money just to get on God's good side.

Live your life as best as you can even if you screw up now and then just like a loving parent to a child God will never turn his back, even if you lose your way, you can always find it back. God doesn't punish you neither does Satan.

He knows were not perfect. And we don't have to be.

I don't believe in organised religion but everyone should take time to meditate and get in touch with their inner soul and you can be in touch with your spirit guides and the divine that way.

We are souls first and are extremely powerful spiritual beings made in God/The divine image. Look at things like telepathy, quantum physics, cell memory.

I could go on and on.

But nonetheless i respect your opinion. I dont blame you for thinking that way. All these churches and cults are to blame for spreading fear and lies instead of the truth. But we can find it on our own.

Yes thats what I'm thinking. Organized religion bothers me. I just hate what society has turned spirituality into. When i speak of higher plane i am talking of the divine universe and all of its energy. I believe in something, but not that Christianity stuff

First thanks for being respectful and ...I'm not super holy by any means but I will try to answer your questions the best I can.....

By knowing better, i mean how are we to know hes there?

by faith 🙂 for most...but for me god has shown me many times in my life that "he" is present

What if youre brought up in an atheist home and arent taught otherwise? Does this person still go to heaven, even if they did everything right?

when these people are adults they will be allowed to chose and explore their faith and make what ever choice they want



And why are child molesting priests speaking the word of God..

this people ARE NOT IN A POSITION to be teaching anybody ANYTHING to be honest...they are sick individuals that need help...but on a side note anyone trying to further their OWN personal agenda shouldn't speaking the word of god ...at all

and why does society hide these facts from the public and let them continue on to new venues to speak words of God? Blech. Watch spotlight. And read the number of cities it happens on the list afterwards.

the fact that this a CHILD MOLESTER is in power over children is WRONG and shouldn't be excused EVER..this isn't god though ...this is corruption in the church ....

the problem is...I noticed a lot of people push their OWN personal preferences and then state that its in the name of GOD and it isn't true ...

I respect that. I do believe in a power. It could be God, could be energy. Maybe they are one in the same. But I'm just more angry at the organization of the church. Not in "God" itself.

The Bible has much to say about the stars. Most basic to our understanding of the stars is that God created them. They show His power and majesty. The heavens are God’s “handiwork” (Psalm 8:3; 19:1). He has all the stars numbered and named (Psalm 147:4).

The Bible also teaches that God arranged the stars into recognizable groups that we call constellations. The Bible mentions three of these: Orion, the Bear (Ursa Major), and “the crooked serpent” (most likely Draco) in Job 9:9; 26:13; 38:31-32; and Amos 5:8. The same passages also reference the star group Pleiades (the Seven Stars). God is the One Who “fastens the bands” of these constellations; He is the One who brings them forth, “each in its season.” In Job 38:32, God also points to the “Mazzaroth,” usually translated “constellations.” This is thought by many to be a reference to the twelve constellations of the zodiac.

The constellations have been tracked and studied for millennia. The Egyptians and Greeks knew of the zodiac and used it to measure the beginning of spring centuries before Christ. Much has been written of the meaning of the zodiacal constellations, including theories that they comprise an ancient display of God’s redemptive plan. For example, the constellation Leo can be seen as a celestial depiction of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5), and Virgo could be a reminder of the virgin who bore Christ. However, the Bible does not indicate any “hidden meaning” for these or other constellations.

The Bible says that stars, along with the sun and moon, were given for “signs” and “seasons” (Genesis 1:14); that is, they were meant to mark time for us. They are also “signs” in the sense of navigational “indicators,” and all through history men have used the stars to chart their courses around the globe.

God used the stars as an illustration of His promise to give Abraham an innumerable seed (Genesis 15:5). Thus, every time Abraham looked up at the night sky, he had a reminder of God’s faithfulness and goodness. The final judgment of the earth will be accompanied by astronomical events relating to the stars (Isaiah 13:9-10; Joel 3:15; Matthew 24:29).
THANK YOU

Some people can't think for themselves and are told what to think... instead of reading and learning for themselves.

First thanks for being respectful and ...I'm not super holy by any means but I will try to answer your questions the best I can.....

By knowing better, i mean how are we to know hes there?

by faith 🙂 for most...but for me god has shown me many times in my life that "he" is present

What if youre brought up in an atheist home and arent taught otherwise? Does this person still go to heaven, even if they did everything right?

when these people are adults they will be allowed to chose and explore their faith and make what ever choice they want



And why are child molesting priests speaking the word of God..

this people ARE NOT IN A POSITION to be teaching anybody ANYTHING to be honest...they are sick individuals that need help...but on a side note anyone trying to further their OWN personal agenda shouldn't speaking the word of god ...at all

and why does society hide these facts from the public and let them continue on to new venues to speak words of God? Blech. Watch spotlight. And read the number of cities it happens on the list afterwards.

the fact that this a CHILD MOLESTER is in power over children is WRONG and shouldn't be excused EVER..this isn't god though ...this is corruption in the church ....

the problem is...I noticed a lot of people push their OWN personal preferences and then state that its in the name of GOD and it isn't true ...
I respect that. I do believe in a power. It could be God, could be energy. Maybe they are one in the same. But I'm just more angry at the organization of the church. Not in "God" itself.
I understand sometimes corruption in the church can turn people away from god ... 😢
Awe. Yeah, it is hard to believe in sometimes. I wish when they would do something about the priests. ?

I believe they are right now.

I also believe he has has urged clergy and laypeople to report instances of paedophilia and abuse directly to the relevant authorities rather than to the church.

That's good to know. It's been left a little late. But better late than never 🙂

I wonder what the psychology is behind it. Why is this such a phenomenon? Crazy stuff.
I hate to make this comparison, but pretty much the same reason why some gay men used to join the priesthood in the past.

To avoid being found out.

It makes a lot of sense. Sad. It ruins it for priests who take their roles seriously.

Op, its really about putting blind faith in something without using reason or conscience.

Or to step into talk about God, the warning is found in Exodus:

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.” --this is the first commandment given to Moses on Sinai.

This was clarified by Jesus when asked which of the commandments was the greatest (another attempt to snare him by a priesthood enamored with their own status):

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself."

Where astrology falls into this is where it becomes a trap--seeking only answers in the stars and planets, where the person rejects the gift of reason and free will.

Imagine living a life where one huddles down and furtively looks at every movement of the skies, afraid to step on a crack on the sidewalk because Mars in Ophiucus says doing so will result in your mother's debilitating spinal injury.

Substituting reading the stars for the word of God becomes a rejection of his gift to man, and his love.

That said, its time for a beer.

It has nothing to do with the planets. You've been deceived. Astrology is linked to these "gods". These gods are actually fallen angels in disguise. This is a way they get you to praise/look to other gods. There is only one god.

#1 When you go to astrology for answers, you're putting your trust and faith into that instead of god. If you want answers, go to god.

We're so into astrology because it gives us answers... knowledge. Satan (the serpent) told Eve that she'll be like god when she ate from that tree. Knowing all things. Knowledge. Satan clearly loves tempting us with knowledge and POWER. Don't let him deceive you. It is not worth it. You know what happened when Eve

If god wants us to know something, he'll show us. This is how Satan gets us. He gives us these things to trap us. Not to mention, by indulging in astrology; you are inviting demons into your life. Leave astrology alone and repent. #2 God is against divination and astrology falls in that catergory. This information we're receiving are from demons not planets. Which one sounds more realistic to you?

It won't be easy to let it go. I know. But it's for the best and it's not worth it. God bless and good luck.
#1 I go to God for my answers... he's given me knowledge of astrology, psychology, and other gifts.

#2 divination? I am not spartan or roman.

Have you ever heard of Christian astrology? Look up William Lily and Horary astrology.

In the bible I see all of the ologies: geology, biology, psychology, anthropology... and, the most delight discovery was hydrology... in Genesis.

I have a child who aspires to science and I warned not to be influenced so by her education that she put science before God. To remember in all things God is the creator.

Because you know who will be alongside her when she enters into a science degree... atheist. And, they will use science to prove God is non existent. Just like people use astrology to replace God. You have atheist astronomers... people studying and loving the planets but, do not accept the creator at all.

Atheists are here in this site, studying science, in politics, and iin churches too.
