Nihil Obstat Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 [quote name='Resurrexi' post='1943627' date='Aug 8 2009, 03:35 PM']I've always imagined that casting lots was the biblical way of drawing a name out of a hat.[/quote] Speaking of which, I'm reading Benedict's Spirit of the Liturgy right now, and I just finished the section where he talks about the relationships between Christianity and nature religions, especially in regards to how stars and even astrology itself can in some ways be regarded as foreshadows of the New Covenant. Very fascinating perspective. You've read that one, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apotheoun Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I agree with St. Ignatios of Antioch who told the Christians of Ephesus that magic, spells, divination, etc., have all been overthrown by the incarnational dispensation established by Christ.
