In case you don't know what a tarot card is, it's a pack of playing cards used in fortunetelling. Tarot cards are clearly associated to the occult and satanism.
So a church called Bethel church in Redding partnered with some people who call themselves Christalignment, an Australian organization which takes teams of undercover Christians to New Age festivals.
These teams set up booths, that look like psychic booths, and seek to evangelize New Agers by offering Christianized versions of psychic services. Their services include “Destiny Card” readings, modeled after Tarot cards.
But the church has defended their use of the destiny cards saying that Destiny Cards are not Tarot Cards because they are original decks of cards, created by “prophetic artists” working with Christalignment. And, unlike Tarot cards, Destiny Cards do not predict the future. Rather Destiny Cards provide “destiny revelations,” which she says simply reveal "giftings you are born with in your life."
The use of the destiny card have been condemned by other Christians who ask, “I don’t understand how they can say they are not like Tarot, yet compare them to Tarot, and say they are ‘more predictive,’ but they say they don’t predict the future?”
According to Christalignment website, not only is their card predictive but it has certain things in common with tarot cards.
Someone wrote concerning this destiny card:
For those who might object by suggesting that there’s nothing wrong with Destiny Cards because their users are seeking information from God–and not from other spiritual entities–consider this question.
Where does Scripture support seeking information from God in this manner? And if there’s nothing wrong with so-called Christian divination, what’s to stop Christians from making their own version of the Ouiji Board?
