According to the Bible is having a good luck charm wrong?

Question

Like a rabbits foot or lucky dice or a voodoo doll. Not spells just a lucky charm.

Answer 1

It would just be pretend. If you believed it, yes, it would be wrong like a false idol.

Answer 2

catholicism?...I don't know But against the bible YES...of course In Conflict With Bible Teachings The Hebrew prophets, however, did not reject astrology merely because of its manifest failure to predict the future accurately. The Law that God gave to Moses specifically warned the Israelites against looking for omens. “There should not be found in you . . . anyone who employs divination . . . or anyone who looks for omens,” the Law stated. “Everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah.”—Deuteronomy 18:10, 12. Although astrology is not mentioned by name in that scripture, the prohibition evidently included the practice. The Encyclopædia Britannica notes that astrology is a “type of divination that consists in forecasting earthly and human events by means of observing and interpreting the fixed stars, the Sun, the Moon, and the planets.” All forms of divination—whether based on the stars or other objects—violate God’s guidelines. Why? There is good reason. Rather than attribute our successes or failures to the stars, the Bible clearly states that “whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap.” (Galatians 6:7) God holds each of us responsible for our actions, since we are free moral agents. (Deuteronomy 30:19, 20; Romans 14:12) True, we may suffer an accident or an illness because of events beyond our control. But such calamities, the Scriptures explain, are due to “time and unforeseen occurrence,” not our horoscope.—Ecclesiastes 9:11. With regard to human relationships, the Bible urges us

Answer 3

I really don't know....but if that's the case, Christians ought to look more closely into the history of how "In God We Trust" came to be on our currency.

"Dear Sir: You are about to submit your annual report to the Congress respecting the affairs of the national finances.

One fact touching our currency has hitherto been seriously overlooked. I mean the recognition of the Almighty God in some form on our coins.

You are probably a Christian. What if our Republic were not shattered beyond reconstruction? Would not the antiquaries of succeeding centuries rightly reason from our past that we were a heathen nation? What I propose is that instead of the goddess of liberty we shall have next inside the 13 stars a ring inscribed with the words PERPETUAL UNION; within the ring the allseeing eye, crowned with a halo; beneath this eye the American flag, bearing in its field stars equal to the number of the States united; in the folds of the bars the words GOD, LIBERTY, LAW.

This would make a beautiful coin, to which no possible citizen could object. This would relieve us from the ignominy of heathenism. This would place us openly under the Divine protection we have personally claimed. From my hearth I have felt our national shame in disowning God as not the least of our present national disasters."

The above is the letter that started U.S currency on the path to having "In God We Trust".

Note this bit here:

"This would place us openly under the Divine protection we have personally claimed."

Soooooo, putting the word "God" on something acts as some sort of preventative charm (magic), eh? Putting the WORD "God" on our MONEY will result in "God" protecting a country?

Lucky charms....they're magically efficacious!
(But only if it's "God" magic...)

*rolls eyes*

Answer 4

I don't know but the church I grew up in used to have lucky rabbit feet for the children as prizes in their annual bazaar... I guess sometimes heart in the religious over rides the over bearing nature of the script.

Answer 5

Let Jesus be your charm. Luck is not real, but I still say good luck anyway. It's not exactly wrong, but you have to also believe and be a Christian.

Answer 6

The BIble itself is people's "good luck" charm. Therefore, I see no "harm".

Answer 7

NO, THE LUCKY CHARM IS A TOOL OF EVIL WORSHIP AND SHALL BE CAST INTO THE FIREY PITS OF HELL. JESUS LOVES YOU ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU ANY LUCK AT ALL, YOU DO NOT NEED A FALSE IDOL TO GUIDE YOUR WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

That's like believing psychics, taro cards, Ouija boards, etc. Yes it's wrong. The only luck you need is in God.

Answer 9

Superstitions, luck and charms were founded by pagan beliefs.

Answer 10

Probably. Pretty much every thing is a called a sin somewhere in the Bible.
