What's the difference between using the planetary bodies as the Bible said "for signs and seasons" vs. using them for New Age gnosticism and all that crap?
The Bible's reference to planetary bodies "for signs and seasons" (Genesis 1:14) describes their God-given role as markers for timekeeping (days, months, seasons) and navigation, emphasizing their practical and divinely ordained function in creation. It points to a structured, observable order under God's sovereignty, not mystical influence over human affairs.
New Age Gnosticism, by contrast, often ascribes spiritual or esoteric significance to celestial bodies, viewing them as forces that shape personal destinies, energies, or hidden knowledge (e.g., astrology, cosmic vibrations). This elevates them beyond their created purpose, leaning into speculative, human-centered mysticism rather than biblical submission to God’s design.
The key difference is purpose and authority: biblical use sees them as tools serving God’s order; New Age Gnosticism treats them as sources of spiritual power or insight, often bypassing divine revelation for subjective interpretation.
Nobody can be sure of anything re religion.
Jesus spoke Arabic, God is Allah. Jesus read and taught from the septuagint not the KJV. Men with power handed to them by kings manipulated what was included and left out of the Bible.
My point is that the stars were created by God and only God knows the message in them and to have faith means we should look at all references with open minds
That's a false equivalence because Jesus did not speak Arabic.
While it's true that God in Arabic translates to Allah, Islam and the Koran are dung when compared to faith in Jesus Christ, who is the actual Lord of all creation. There may be some distorted or partial truths in the Muslim religion but why would I go look there when I have the holy Scriptures and faith in the One who God sent?

While I do look at all references, I constrain them within the framework of the Old and New Testaments. If they fall outside that, I don't immediately discard them, as I may have misunderstood; but if I clearly see them running contrary to it, I discard them.
You have alot to learn grasshopper. Allah is God's name in Aramaic and Arabic which are only different in subtle nuance. The KJV is small deliberat portion of all the books available to draw from . Jesus used the septuagint to teach from and read . The Roman empire created the KJV to shape the narrative for their own purposes. Jesus also spoke Greek as it was necessary for dealing with merchants. Men created the Bible long after Christ

The day of Christ's Resurrection (Easter) also exactly aligns with the Paschal full moon this year.
I still don't know why people think ripple crypto is a good thing. It's like the anti Bitcoin. It's just digital fiat...
