Jerry Newcombe calls Bible much better source of answers than Zodiac
Jerry Newcombe "Many Americans, declares an article in the New York Times (Nov. 24, 2017), are “Leaning on the Stars to Make Sense of the World.” Personally, I’d rather “lean” on the One Who made the stars to make sense of the world. He has revealed Himself not only in the stars, but much more clearly in His Word.
"The NYT.com article states: “‘One appeal is that [the stars] offer some order in an otherwise chaotic city and volatile world,’ said Galit Atlas, a clinical assistant professor in New York University’s postdoctoral program in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. … ‘Especially in a time when the world doesn’t feel safe, we tend to search for an order that makes sense.'”
"In short, people are turning to horoscopes and astrology to help cope in these troublesome times.
"My long-time pastor, Dr. D. James Kennedy, once preached a series on “the Gospel in the Stars.” The idea was that God had revealed the Gospel in the heavens – before the corruption of the Zodiac. The 12 signs are found in ancient cultures and countries.
"As D. James Kennedy Ministries puts it, “All nations had the same 12 signs, representing the same 12 things, placed in the same order. Archaeologists, historians and antiquarians have searched the dustiest libraries, uncovered the oldest tablets, ciphered the most difficult hieroglyphics, and have failed to discover how it is that in nations all over the world the same signs exist. Dr. Kennedy explains that the real meaning of the Zodiac was to reveal God’s plan of salvation in Christ. Meanwhile, he also denounces using horoscopes. The stars point to the Creator.' ” . . .
Jerry Newcombe, D.Min., is a TV producer and the co-host of "Kennedy Classics." He has also written or co-written 24 books, including "The Book That Made America" (on the Bible) and (with D. James Kennedy) "What If Jesus Had Never Been Born?" and (with Peter Lillback) "George Washington’s Sacred Fire." Jerry hosts gracenetradio.com Thursdays at noon Eastern.
