Reading Horoscopes

If you read the horoscopes, participating in fortune telling and palm reading ...... you are basically practicing witchcraft.

All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!
Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you. Isa 47:13

Reading horoscopes, believing in horoscopes are totally two different things.

Isaiah 8:19 When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?

Micah 3:7 The seers will be ashamed and the diviners disgraced. They will all cover their faces because there is no answer from God."

Leviticus 20:27 " 'A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads.' "

I think god is OK with this stuff, seeing that Daniel, a very holy man who was one of god's good friends was the Chief Witchdoctor of Babylon. According to Daniel 5:11 Daniel was "master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers". Since his soothsaying was assisted by god, doesn't that mean that it was OK with god?

joeNM, do you actually condone stoning a man to death just because he is a "spiritist"

That means you disagree with god on very many issues since god was pro-stoning in very many different circumstances in the Old Testament.

@Zelda,
looks like you found the verse interesting.....But did you bother to find out the context. Who is the 'her' in the passage?

Try again.

Proverbs 3:13-18
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gains understanding,
for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.
She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
those who lay hold of her will be blessed.

And the answer is? WISDOM is the her in the passage. Context my friend.
