Astrology/Occult and the Bible!

(written by Paul Smithson)


God did not want His people to have anything to do with occult practices in ancient times and He does not want His people to have anything to do with such things today (cf. Ac. 19:19).

To seek after such things and the so called knowledge that they provide is to be lead away from God and what He has revealed. The stars of heaven declare the glory and power of God (Ps. 19:1-4), but they do not tell the future nor give guidance.

The apostle declared, "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority" (Col. 2:8-10).

Everything we need to know for this life and beyond is found in Christ and His word.
It is sinful to look to or trust in anything else than Him "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge' (Col. 2:3).
