Lucky Charms are unbiblical


Now we will discuss the superstitions which our countrymen do when the New Years Day comes. many of these superstitions came from the belief of the Chinese. There are superstitions about LUCK and to DRIVE AWAY misfortunes on New Year.

Many of these superstitions have no Biblical basis. these are only crafted and traditions. if we will study, There is a funny belief that the majority follow. One of them is FUNG SHUI. where this is the so called solution for the year is luck and prosperity and there is a so called way for the luck to come near on New Year. Fung Shui teaches all kinds of methods. it is centered in the position of the house, the lucky charms and other things that are believed that will give luck. Others observe the superstitions and divination (2 Kings 21:6 read it) where others based their destiny to the position of stars and of the planets. also on the signs in heaven. (read Jeremiah 10:2, Jeremiah 8:2, Isaiah 47:13)

On these belief, we based our own destiny to the things that are not real and by following it is we will be lucky.


The question is Is it in the Fung Shui we should based our future? Is it true that it brings luck/fortune and not misfortune?

"Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. " (Proverbs 27:1)

Many of the Chinese traditions are based on fables with no strong bases. The future is not based on the lucky charm figurines and other lucky charm items. We also see that on the celebration of the Chinese of New Year is having Dragon dances. it is believed to give luck w/o knowing what is symbolizes in the Holy Scriptures what the dragon really meant all about?

The answer is very clear: "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." (Revelation 12:3)

The dragon is the old serpent called the Devil or Satan (read Revelation 12:9) So what it symbolizes the red dragon is the Devil or Satan. we can see it on the Chinese figurines or lucky charms.

One of the lucky charms we see is a  frog figurine

It symbolizes the 3 abominable spirits in the form of frogs (read Revelation 16:13)

There is also a COIN LUCKY CHARM. It gives so called luck so that the enter of money in you will be good. This is the lucky charm of lovers of money (read Matthew 6:24, 1 Timothy 6:9-10, Psalms 52:7)

To the ones who believe in the Holy Scriptures, we should not base our destiny or luck on the so called lucky charms.

Proverbs 10:6 Blessings are upon the head of the just:

TO THE ONES who follow God are all blessings (read Deuteronomy 28:1-14)

One example of this is Job the righteous servant of God and the man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. (read Job 1:1)

This is the person whom God blesses. A righteous person who is an upright and fears God that departs from evil.

Next, you should put diligence to your work (read Proverbs 12:11 and Proverbs 10:4-5) The luck is sure because The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: (read Proverbs 10:3) All of his works will be blessed (read Job 11:13-19) because FORTUNE will follow to him (read Psalms 23:6) and no plagues will come to those who trust God (read Psalms 91:9-10)

God is the one who makes good fortune and not the lucky charms?

"the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, " (Romans 4:6)

"And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. " (Genesis 24:12)
