Dave in Tenn:
You asked about Ray's views on astrology. This is a pretty good exchange here:

Dave in Tenn:
That may not go directly to your question, but ought to help you understand what Ray was talking about the planets affecting human life.

Taken from wikipedia:
Astrology is a system of divination founded on the notion that the relative positions of celestial bodies are signs of or—more controversially among astrologers—causes of destiny, personality, human affairs, and natural events.
Divination, according to dictionary.com, is the practice of attempting to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge by occult or supernatural means.

A primitive root; properly to whisper a spell, that is, to inchant or practise magic: - sorcerer, (use) witch (-craft).
Leviticus 19:26 You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying.
Deuteronomy 18:14 For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not appointed such for you.
2 Chronicles 33:6 Also he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; he practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.
I'm not saying any of this from a position of condemnation or judgment. I was guilty of the sin of witchcraft for many years until God lead me to repent and then delivered me, so it is my sole desire to warn you and help. Astrology is a form of witchcraft. It is a slippery slope - speaking from personal experience.
Blessings,
John
Duane:
I once asked my father about his view re: life on other planets and he gave a unique answer. He said that if there is intelligent life on other planets or in different worlds there would, no doubt , be sin. So did Jesus go to all these other planets and live a perfect life and then die for THEIR sins , too?
Craig:
Duane are you asking this to provoke thought or do you really expect anyone here or the whole world for that matter to be able to answer this? :)
