Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

Is astrology [the study of the stars] evil? 
Astronomy is evil only when we use it as an amulet. In other words, when we believe that our well being 
depends on what the stars tell, and not on the merits earned with our obedience to God's commandments. As 
is written: "And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to 
observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee 
on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou 
shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God"- Deuteronomy 28:1-2, KJV. 
By the way, this is the reason why Samaritans refuse to embrace the Christian concept of "salvation by faith, 
and without the need of works", as any dogma that pretends to tell you that blessing can be achieved without 
obedience to God's commandments is a veiled form of paganism. Why? because Scripture specifically tells 
that if you turn away from God's commandments you'll end up mad and confused. As is written: «But if you 
do not obey the Lord your God by carefully following all his commands... these curses will come and 
overtake you: ... the Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness, and mental confusion»- Deuteronomy 28: 
15 & 28, Christian Standard Bible. 

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the Sky above proclaims his handiwork”- Psalms 19:1 
God created nature, so we could learn from it the ways of the Almighty. In addition, nature is the means by
which the infinite Being help us understand (by way of logical extrapolations) the truths currently beyond
direct observation. For example, consider the question of an after life: Do we humans experience more than
one form of existence? Or is rather our "air-based" environment the only state we will ever experience? Well,
nature hints at the idea that, when the baby is inside his mother's womb, he feels as if the watery environment
he currently dwells is the only one capable of sustaining life; but that is obviously wrong, as we all know he
will eventually experience (outside his mother's the womb) a different [air-based] existence. By the same
token, most people believe life can only exist within material bodies; but they forget that matter is just
concentrated energy, so that [in principle] “non-physical” (“energy like”, or “spiritual”) life should be as
likely to exists.
