MichaelFilo Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Jeff, I'll get to your post in due time. As for the others, it cannot be read in the light of fun, because people who use oujii boards for pure fun are tampering with evil. Why would you even read your horoscope for fun? you are allowing yourself to possibly fall into temptation, which is thinking about your horoscope later on, or even viewing your day in light of your horoscope. Please remember, we don't shoot for the bear minimum, but instead look to completly fulfill our obligation to avoid sin and the devil. God bless, Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrdero Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Though horoscopes in value are supposed to be for entertainmnent purposes, I really don't think that any human should put to much belief in any type of predictions. The future is mutable. We always have the decision to change our minds one way or another. Remember that the study of astrology is more involving than just a few short sentences in a newspaper or magazine. The study of astrology is much more complicated. I believe there is some relationship to the time when we are born and the universe. Every life that is born compared to the constantly moving universe probably provides a way for GOD to recognize us. Sort of like a snapshot or a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 If I'm not mistaken, most horoscopes are made up by the newspaper writers. I cannot believe people make decisions based on big rocks that float around in space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC to judge or consider is exactly right: I consider them silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkan_hanil Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Well I think it is a near occasion of sin. That's why I hate it when all these kids make such a fashion out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qfnol31 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 (edited) [quote name='thicke' date='Aug 4 2004, 06:15 PM'] Is that the only reason it's sinful to look at pornography though? [/quote] Nope, but it is enough to throw that out as an option for argument in this case. Edited August 5, 2004 by qfnol31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorphRC Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 look at porn shows a lack of self-respect and self-control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 (edited) Pornography: Looking at it if you're not a detective needing to see it in order to further an investigation (this is called a [i]necesssary occasion of sin[/i]), would be seriously sinful. Looked at another way: a person looks closely at nude bodies, all day long. If that person wasn't a doctor who needed to do this in order to preserve/protect the health of patients, there would definitely be grave sin involved. Looking at pornography sins against purity, chastity, modesty. The Commandment against adultery covers all actions, thoughts, desires [i]wilfully maintained[/i], looks, done alone or with others.

Donna Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 (edited) Ah, Morph, it's OK, man. God takes us right where we're at. But, if one has not the saints - esp. the Blessed Mother to invoke - well, it is hard enough to remain unspotted. As soon as we're aware of being tempted, God demands we try not to be (so to speak). Or rather, to resist the tempting (and by doing so, the Tenptor!) How? By asking for help. Over and over, if need be. Any time, day or night. A thousand million times a day. [color=purple[i]]"Delay not, Blessed Lady, to aid me whenever I call upon thee.[/i]"[/color] Does this help to explain why Catholics pray for [i]perseverance in grace[/i]? Not that you asked. But see, how the points all come to the same end: we do penance not just 'cause we need to, but because we strengthen ourselves, we train by giving up something good, to help us when we must give up something not good. We pray for perseverance and like other things, against the time of temptation which shall come. And knowing it shall, and preparing for it, is an act of humility.

Christina Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 It's a Mortal Sin if you read them fully knowing and understand that: [quote]CCC 2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or [b]other practices falsely supposed to "unveil" the future. [48] Consulting horoscopes,[/b] astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone. [/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrdero Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Christina quotes: CCC 2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected conjuring up the dead interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone Just curious-but wasn’t Jesus very profound in these abilities?

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 But he didn't use spells and magic to conjure up miracles. He is God. He is all-knowing and all-powerful. Magic is unecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
