My own minister has said that I would need to stop Tarot to accept Jesus fully into my life.
(((blackbird)))Honey don't listen to this crap!! I LOVE JESUS CHRIST with all MY HEART!! You go on loving your GOD, and reading the Tarot. Anyone who judges you for this will have to answer to HIM!!! HE is your God, not them!
Consider this:
"You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. It is written:
" 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord,
'every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will confess to God.' "[a] So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Romans 14:10-13
**Did you know the literal definition of satan is
adversary or obstacle; and the definition of devil is
accuser?**
Isn't funny how Jesus taught us NOT TO JUDGE, and yet Christians all too often do exactly that; most especially brutal towards one another!
How can we be serving Christ, and be
accusers of our Brethren?
Hmmmm....we can't!!!
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
Matthew 7:1-5
Here is a list of scriptures to review for your benefit. Don't worry, but cast your cares on Jesus. He loves you and knows your heart. That is what is important; not the judgments of men.

URIM and Thummim:
“In the Old Testament, the priests used what is called Urim and Thummim. In the Hebrew, Urim means "light", and Thummim means "perfection; completeness; innocence". Some translators believe the words mean "revelation and truth" or "lights and perfections." It was an oracle used by the priesthood, and was known among the prophets among all Semitic nations. The Urim and Thummim were located in the vicinity of the sacred breastplate (known as the "breast plate of decision" or "breast plate of judgment") of the priests. It is not known whether the 12 stones that represented the 12 tribes of Israel "lit up" when a question was asked, or whether it was sacred dice carried in a pouch near the breastplate that answered yes or no questions as a form of lot casting.”
“In II Samuel 5: 23-25, King David asks God about an upcoming battle with the Philistines. God answers: “‘And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then the Lord will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.' And David did so, as the Lord commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer." David is engaging in a form of divination known as Botanomancy, which is receiving answers through plant life. Some theologians speculate that David was listening for angelic marching, a sign that the angels were going before the Israelites in battle. “
