The sun and the moon, for what reason are they there up in the sky? For no reason at all? By no means. Since the creation of the world, they have been there to testify to the truth. The sun is the light that gives life to the earth; in the same way, God is the eternal life that gives life to everyone. If you look at the sun, you'll become blind. For this reason, He told Moses, "No one can see Me and live." How, then, can you receive His light?The moon has no light of its own; its light belongs to the sun, and by looking at the moon, you are seeing the sun's light. In the same way, God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that through Him, you could receive His light. If, then, you want to know God, you must know His Son, as He said, "Only the Father knows the Son, and only the Son knows the Father, and those whom the Son chooses to reveal Him."The Son and the Father are like the image in the mirror and the one who stands in front of it. God stands in front of the mirror; the image in the mirror is Him, but He is not the image in the mirror. The image in the mirror is His Son, whom He sent into the world to reveal Him. This is why "the Father is greater than I" and "I and the Father are one" are both true."I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."The day has come near. It is time to turn from your ways and be formed into His likeness, and in that day, you will share in His eternal life.

>>18631365>The sun and the moon, for what reason are they there up in the sky? For no reason at all?yeah so the Sun formed roughly 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a cloud of hydrogen gas. Hydrogen is the lightest and thus the most abundant element in the universe. Other such clouds can be seen with a backyard telescope, such as the Orion Nebula. The Sun is overhwelmingly made of Hydrogen and Helium, and the light it gives off is caused by the sun being in constant equilibrium between its gravitational pull and outward pressure caused by energy being generated in its core via a sustained nuclear fusion reaction I know this probably bothers you because you think it trivializes reality, which is weird, because it shouldn't, it's just facts that we can observe for ourselves. I don't really understand what this even has to do with Moses or Jesus or whatever. You know you can still be religious and acknowledge reality right?
>>18631415Jesus is creator of everything in Christianity so there is relevance. Yet Jesus was focused on people receiving salvation and following him. Only word from him about astrology are simple words about creation and ends times decorations. From a Christian perspective creation is to be marveled over.>Psalm 19:1 "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."

Malachi 3:13-18“You have spoken arrogantly against me,” says the Lord.“Yet you ask, ‘What have we said against you?’“You have said, ‘It is futile to serve God. What do we gain by carrying out his requirements and going about like mourners before the Lord Almighty? But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly evildoers prosper, and even when they put God to the test, they get away with it.’”Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name.“On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.
>>18631415You believe all those just because a man said it was true. Not because you yourself have discovered it. You have no way of knowing if any of this is true but you believe it wholeheartedly.
