“Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar”

As to the physical date of stars and the physical incarnation of Christ as Jesus, from a logical point of view, there does not need to be a linear progression of this one versus that one “first” for the two to be theoretically linked.

I have no idea what Comet Holmes is all about, but I too find it compelling.

It’s great that you are really enjoying this comet but I honestly can’t say that I see the comet as having anything to do with religion except perhaps as a source or wonder and awe at the universe. The constellations we know came into existence long before the birth of Christ and giving them Christian meanings is just revisionism as far as I’m concerned. I also don’t hold with the idea that our future is written in the stars. I like the idea that we make our own futures and that we have free will to do what ever we want.

It’s also very strange to hear a Christian talking about Astrology like that. I was under the impression most churches were against that kind of thing, the Vatican certainly is.

Anyhow, thanks for sharing your experiences and make the most of this great event and get out and observe it as much as you can!

Who can explain the stars? In Psalms 147:4 & 5 it says, “He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. Great is our LORD, and of great power: His understanding is infinite.”

Other Scripture speaking of the night sky says, “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years” (Genesis 1:14).

A sign is something that proclaims a message. Interestingly, the late Dr. James Kennedy, has written a book entitled, The Real Meaning Of The Zodiac, in which he described the meaning of all twelve of the constellations of the Zodiac with their decans. In his explanation on pages eighty-six through page eighty-nine, he describes the constellation, Perseus, The Breaker, as another picture of Jesus Christ, who cuts off the head of Medusa (Satan) and sets the chained Andromeda (picture of the Church) free, taking her home with Him to His heavenly throne, where He makes her His bride.

This really adds to the excitement for me!
