Where does this say they were using astrology to find Jesus? Again you are slyishly putting words into something I did not say. Why do you continue to do this?

Originally posted by galveston75What I saw Galveston was you erroneously attempting to use a scripture to back up the JW claim you are making. I called you on it.
You obviously are missing the point of why I quoted that scripture. I know clearly when that scripture is applied but I was hoping you'd get the point that satan has the power and ability to use "signs" to use against humans to do his wicked deeds as he did with the star or light with the magi. Sorry you missed that.

Originally posted by galveston75My opinion is formed through the evidences in scripture which I have quoted to you several times. You make an opposing opinion based only on conjecture, assumption and the erroneous use of the Thessalonians scripture.
Because they wanted too.....
So the obvious question then would be do you seriously think God directed them to do all of these things because it was foretold to happen?
If this is your thought then you'd have to agree that "all" the bad things the bible foretold and has happened, God caused them in order that his prophecies would come true. Really? Is this your opinion?

Excuse me for the typo........ So now for the second time yes I did SEE the video. I would think you would have caught that in my previous answer.
I wanted to know if you had viewed the video in its entirety and you have, so we are talking about the same things, thank you this helps me see you.

Astrology, in its broadest sense, is the search for meaning in the sky

btw:
Halley's Comet appeared in 66AD ... just before Matthew was written ....

comet would have been talked about for years so anyone writing after 66AD would have been tempted to put in a reference to a "star".
The vast majority of scholars date Matthews gospel no earlier than 70AD.
