Can Christians practice Feng Shui? Why or Why not?

Answer 1

"Feng shui operates entirely on the belief in balancing yin and yang and in the belief of chi/qi. To seek harmony through a balance of yin and yang energies is at odds with trusting Christ, and with the peace we have through Christ. To accept chi, one must discard the Christian God who is a personal God, not an impersonal force. There is no Biblical evidence for a force permeating the universe. It is entirely inconsistent with Christianity to believe that harmony and balance result through the manipulation and channeling of a force based on the placement of objects, or through any other method. In fact, techniques to manipulate or channel such a force belong to the world of sorcery. "

Answer 2

I am a Christian and I like Feng Shui. As Christian we believe in the Holy Spirit. whats wrong with wanting peace and good energy in our homes. I like to make my home more inviting to God. LoL

Answer 3

Feng Shui is not a religion, it is a way of arranging furniture to create flow in your home. Why not? I see no problem here.

Answer 4

balancing Chi/Qi is really just balancing energy- there is energy in everything, color- black & white, soft & hard, you just want balance.
Chi/Qi isn't evil or demonic, it's a state of nature, like sunrise & sunset.... God made that, like summer & winter, hot & cold.

So if you practice Feng Shui, you are just putting balance of color, texture, etc in your home or office to give a better flow or feel of energy to the place you live or work in.
Nothing too scary about that.

Answer 5

understanding of feng shui to be more of a meditative practice and art that can be practiced by christians. similare to native americans practicing sweats, dances and giving glory to god.

Answer 6

Feng Shui's not a religion so I don't see why not.

Answer 7

it depends on how much do you practice christianity or how much you are open-minded regarding other ideas.

fengshui is a compilation of theories, each with its own system and calculations. these are formulated about 4,000 years ago to optimize one's health or wealth. it is also used to enhance one's fortune and to predict the future/ destiny.

i think it all boils down to if for example you know fengshui, and based on it you discovered that you'd live your ideal life by just doing certain changes in the house... question is would you do the changes and save yourself the trial and error of going through life?

Answer 8

Deuteronomy 18:9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
18:10 There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
18:12 For all that do these things [are] an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
18:13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
18:14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so [to do].
18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

feng shui represents a country and it is a abomination to God.
