Yes, the Bible speaks strongly against the pagan practice of Astrology, which was recognized as divination and associated with magic and sorcery. Divination is defined as "the practice of attempting to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge by occult or supernatural means", which would certainly include Astrology. A number of scriptures ...

Hah! She sounds like a wily one. I'm no expert in Feng-Shui (or your Aunt), but here are some relevant Biblical principles: Wisdom In Silence If a person is not truly interested in seeking/knowing the truth (e.g. a person who just wants to push their views on you), there is Biblical precedence for keeping silent. (Proverbs 23:9, Matthew 27:12-14) ...

If by psychic you mean somehow able to foretell the future or discern secret things in someone's life, we could examine what the Bible said about prophets. JEREMIAH 28:9 The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him. Deuteronomy 18:20-22 ...

It depends what you mean by "psychic." Do you mean a prophet - someone who sees the future just kinda unprovoked, as in "I had a dream that the plane would crash and it did?" Or do you mean a fortuneteller, as in crystal balls/Tarot cards? Or do you mean having other psychic kinds of powers like telekinesis or others? Those are three fundamentally different ...

The first of those (the only one linked as a synopsis) appears to be discussing physiology of creatures that live in areas strongly affected by tidal forces. The tide is a well understood physical phenomenon, and has absolutely no relation to astrology (and is known to be influenced by lunar gravity). Some of the other titles sound (although I have not read ...

Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. This was a quote from Pope John Paul II. I think this question gets to another point which is based on definitions and applying those so literally to make decisions. Astrology was based on superstition and the idea that these ...

Yes, the Bible speaks strongly against the pagan practice of divination, of which so-called psychic ability is part. Divination is defined as "the practice of attempting to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge by occult or supernatural means", which would certainly include Psychic fortune-telling. A number of scriptures associate astrology ...

That would depend on the source of the power and how it is being used. In the scripture, those who are what we'd traditionally call 'psychics' are depicted as having congress with some kind of spirit. Secondly, the more important question is how it is being used; it is not uncommon for a person to claim to be a Christian psychic but fall into the trap of ...

This is admittedly not based in the Bible (there are other answers here which already address most of the relevant passages), but according to An Exorcist Tells His Tale (good book, I recommend it), the majority of the times that specific knowledge of the future (or clairvoyance, etc.) it is not from God, but rather demons. His test is simple: Do these ...

While Software Monkey has lots of references to the old testament, the new testament tells the story of Jesus Christ, who was foreseen by "Three Kings", or "(Three) Wise Men from the East" who read the sky and observed the comet. Matthew 2:1–12 So this is a prove that astrology works, and that it is in the spirit of the Christian God. Since the old ...
