A few things about palmistry and the bible.
I would say this.
in the proverbs in the bible it says to NOT ABUSE divination.
as divination is
NOT FORBIDDEN for everyone like the pope/priest
it is
FORBIDDEN FOR THE MASSES
Especially since most of the masses are corrupt and stupid trying to avoid god's lessons to them and in the end harming others along the way.
Priests are on the other hand suppose to be righteous so can handle good or bad news and accept the divination, as they are suppose to be devoid of all emotion to it so they WILL NOT burn their daughters at the stake or kill others to avoid their own danger.
there in lays the problem
powerful rich people/those that would be in power
that ask for divination cause harm to the world instead if they knew their fate. because sure as hell if they were going to go down they would take everyone with them eg 2008 financial crisis as you can see rich people would take the whole world down if it means them losing that is one example of how corrupt they are and what god has warned against.
Palmistry and divination is neither good nor evil it is what you do with it. Bible does not forbid palmistry but abuse of divination in general from the population.
reading ones own character to find the right path may be permitted.
using divination to get rich/abuse of others is not.
People of faith really need to read between the lines and actually understand what the intentions of god/the bible truly wants imo
IF God was good then he would let good people in regardless of if they believe in him or not.
because that is just what a good god does.
and if a believer commits evil acts then a good God would throw him into the depths of hell regardless of if he believes in Jesus or God.
Why would God be an idiot to let evil into his kingdom after all?
He is not stupid is he?
now on to the technicalities:
Palmistry 2D:4D ratio is proven
Finger prints are used to identify a person by the law.
length of index finger vs ring finger is a large indicator of how much testosterone your body was exposed to in your mother's womb or growing up/finger development.
Your hand may also have markers of lots of lines which indicate lots of stress/thoughts
in a way an extension of your nervous system is appearing in your palm.
how your palm looks, feels, hand texture, how long the fingers are, each phalanges has indicators
of what you did with your hands so it would indicate at least your personality traits.
the non-dominant hand is said to be the past
the dominant hand is to indicate the present self.
the future? it can always change as lines on the hands DO CHANGE ever so slightly.
there are actual reasons for that you know
common sense reasons:
dominant hand you use the most so what you do is indicated on it.
non dominant hand means you use it less and thus it changes less often.
therefore reading the hands are reading what the person has DONE TO IT up to now.
reading what the cells are likely doing INSIDE your body basically.
in a way having an X-ray is LIKE reading your palm to predict diseases that MAY or may not be there.
reading indicators off a photo of your bone structure.
it is just that now palmistry of the bones in one self is much more advanced.
you can even read your brain to tell the character of a person and they do actually.
see: Einstein's brain as they dissected him.
Scientists would call that research but it is the same as palmistry really.
they are examining his brain to indicate his reasons for success and failure
same as palmistry or his IQ basically.
Why was his IQ so high?
well because he had more folds in his brain.
doesn't that sound like PALMISTRY?
ahem....UMM yeah?
x-rays scans then reading them is also a form of palmistry except you can validate them fairly easily or quickly to see if you are correct.
that's all it is
How I would argue with a religious person:
I will say it again and again the truth of science/the truth of religion if you want to be closer to god - is to question and experiment and keep an open mind.
not to close your brain to even palmistry and for those that want to understand god you have to understand how his world works and stand with him.
He does not need a bunch of know nothings as slaves, for me I would want someone on par with me intellectually to talk to instead.
God may be lonely after all and he wants us to talk to him maybe that's why he wants us to pray to him everyday. SO UNDERSTAND him and yourself FIRST and not just follow what he says but observe him and his intentions first. Popes are the only ones permitted to understand god so he is permitted to divine? Horse****. We can try to understand as well. We do not need a pope telling others what to do and what his intentions are. Notice so many Priest scandals in recent years.
That's the reason dumb religious people that follow religion blindly.
GOD wants you to question your faith and then believe him once you find the truth as you are that much more firm in your belief if you swing that way.
Back to palmistry.
What do you make of a rough hand vs a soft hand?
Yes that's right one worked a lot more with their hands vs a person whom never really worked with their hands.
Do longer fingers make a better or worse sports player?
Palmistry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
look at this for indicators of type of hand emotions
Find your elemental hand shape: Earth, Fire, Air, Water & 5 mixed proportional hand shapes!
notes:
fire hands: short fingers + thinner square/rectangle palms = lots of lines
= thinks with emotion
"Fire hand" would exhibit high energy, creativity, short temper, ambition, etc. - all qualities believed to be related to the Classical element of Fire"
so these are usually the brave warriors you want to lead or innovate
could also be scientists for new breakthroughs as they will more likely venture to unknown territory to find the truth.
notes: einstein had a fire hand
Albert Einstein, Physicist, Father of Modern Physics
look at his palms as you can see and he was a innovator in his field while rejecting social norms.
air hands : long fingers + long palm = also lots of lines
= thinkers, analysts
these are the thinkers of society
should be best at academics and sciences/writing/professor
water hand: long fingers and short palm = elegant hands and usually soft
= less lines also found mostly on women
= sentimental, emotional, sensitive
perhaps finding them on teachers/nurses type/daycare
earth palm: short fingers + square palm about equal to the fingers
= less lines
usually rough hand: hard workers, practical, works with their hands, labors, eg construction workers/farmers/gardening/etc
those are general characteristics and generally you can use common sense to see already why that is true.
well go and take a look and see if it is true.
but yes palmistry has largely been abused by the modern era palmists saying they can tell the future
SORRY they cannot nothing is set in stone.
What one can say they can do maybe to READ a person's CHARACTER which may change with time depending on what they do.
this is the problem with religion and diviners.
both want un-doubtful belief in them without question.
IMO using palmistry to find ones own true character is not such a bad thing.
telling the future using religion OR palmistry though is stupid
You might be able to tell a person's LIKELY future based on their personality though but it is not absolute
as you cannot predict the future until it actually happens which may take a long long time. therefore it is deemed unscientific.
We did not prove the 2d:4d ratio until now after all.
but we just proved one part of palmistry to be correct.
not everything though including how many wives/relationships or how long you will live.
life line does not predict death BUT it does predict how much energy you have supposidly
