"It's only harmless fun," I hear various people say when talking about the occult. Some folks, including those naming Christ's name, read the horoscopes to find out what they predict for them that day.
Little do such fools realize that these things are Satan's bate. Instead of trusting God, people tend to trust in what these sources of divination advise.
Scripture has much to say about the dangers of the occult. For example, Leviticus 20:6 (Bible in Basic English) warns, "And whoever goes after those who make use of spirits and wonder-workers, doing evil with them, against him will my face be turned, and he will be cut off from among his people."
We also learn how repulsive such deliberate sins are to God in Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (BBE.) "Let there not be seen among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter go through the fire, or anyone using secret arts, or a maker of strange sounds, or a reader of signs, or any wonder-worker, Or anyone using secret force on people, or putting questions to a spirit, or having secret knowledge, or going to the dead for directions. For all who do such things are disgusting to the Lord; and because of these disgusting things the Lord your God is driving them out before you."
We also read that the gods and goddesses worshiped by pagan people were in fact demons. Leviticus 17:7 (BBE) clearly states, "And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations."
Deuteronomy 32:17 (BBE) also proves that false gods are in fact demons. Speaking of wicked Israelites, "They made offerings to evil spirits which were not God, to gods who were strange to them, which had newly come up, not feared by your fathers."
Just by these scriptures, it's clear that the occult isn't our playground but a spiritual mine field.
If Christ doesn't return by Saturday, I'll probably post about an Alice Cooper song and the fait of deceased infants.
