Well, let me tell ya, this whole astrology thing, it’s got folks all stirred up. Some say it’s the devil’s work, some say it ain’t. I ain’t no scholar, but I’ve seen a thing or two in my time, and I can tell ya, something ain’t right about it.
Is Astrology Satanic? What Them Folks Say
Now, I heard some preacher man on the TV talking about how believin’ in them stars and horoscopes, that’s goin’ against the Bible. He said somethin’ about chasin’ after false gods, and that’s a sin. Said there ain’t no proof in the Bible that God gave them stars any power over us. Matthew somethin’ somethin’, Corinthians somethin’ somethin’, Exodus somethin’ somethin’, he said. Sounded important.
And then them science folks, they say it ain’t real either. They tested it all out, looked at them stars and planets, and said it don’t mean nothin’. Said there ain’t no power in them stars to tell ya what’s gonna happen or who you are. They say it’s just a bunch of hooey.
- Bible says it’s wrong.
- Science says it ain’t real.
But What Is This Astrology Anyways?
So, what is this astrology stuff anyway? Well, from what I gather, it’s all about lookin’ at the stars and planets and tryin’ to figure out how they affect our lives. They got these things called horoscopes, see, and they tell ya what kind of day you’re gonna have, or what kind of person you are, based on when you were born. Like, if you’re born under the sign of the goat, you’re stubborn, or somethin’ like that. Sounds like a load of bull to me, but folks eat it up.
Is it a Religion or What?
Now, some folks say astrology is a religion. But I looked it up on that Google thing, and it said no, it ain’t a religion. It’s more like… well, I don’t rightly know what it’s like. It’s kinda like them fortune tellers at the county fair, I guess. They look at your palms or your tea leaves, and they tell ya your future. It’s all a way to make a quick buck if you ask me. But is it satanic? That’s what got me thinkin’.
The Devil’s Work or Just Plain Silly?
That preacher man, he said it’s the devil’s work. He said Satan uses things like astrology to trick people, to get them away from God. He said Satan whispers in your ear, tells you that the stars have the answers, not God. And you know, maybe he’s right. Maybe this astrology stuff is just another way for the devil to mess with us.
But then again, maybe it’s just plain silly. Maybe it’s just a bunch of people makin’ stuff up, tryin’ to make a livin’. Like them folks who sell them miracle cures, ya know? They ain’t got no real power, but they sure do know how to take your money.
Spirituality and Astrology – Are They Friends?
Now, some folks say that spirituality and astrology, they go hand in hand. They say that astrology can help you understand yourself better, connect with the universe, and all that fancy talk. Maybe it does, I don’t know. But it feels kinda off to me. It’s like puttin’ your faith in somethin’ other than God. And that, to me, just don’t seem right.
Does it Blame You or Build You Up?
I heard somethin’ else interestin’ too. Folks were talkin’ ‘bout how the devil’s religions, they always point fingers and blame ya for stuff. They make you feel bad about yourself. Now, this astrology, does it do that? I reckon sometimes it does. Sometimes them horoscopes, they tell you all the bad things about yourself, all the ways you’re gonna mess up. And that don’t seem right neither. Shouldn’t somethin’ that’s supposed to be spiritual build you up, not tear you down?
What’s a Body to Believe?
So, what’s a body to believe? Well, I reckon that’s up to each and every one of us. Me, I’m gonna stick with what I know. I’m gonna stick with God. I ain’t gonna go chasin’ after stars or horoscopes or any of that stuff. I’m gonna put my faith in somethin’ a whole lot bigger than that.
But that’s just me. You gotta make up your own mind. Just be careful, is all I’m sayin’. Don’t let nobody trick ya into believin’ somethin’ that ain’t true. And don’t go puttin’ your faith in somethin’ that can’t save ya. Because in the end, the only thing that really matters is where you stand with God.
And that’s all I gotta say about that astrology business.
