Boomark:The cross was for a long time in use among the pagans of Rome in their idol worship and was one of their many symbols. What we need to know is that the symbols of the occult do not have any special spiritual powers. They are simple coded depravities meant to be vain engagements, hence devoid of the presence of God. The cross was one of those signs (still important in the occult) and by hanging Christ on it, His tormentors my all means spiritually disrobed him of the presence of God. That is why He cried to God....why have you forsaken me? He actually became accursed. |

That's reaping what was sown. 2 different things! |

ichuka: I was thinking you are going to explain the meaning of cross, I asked the question for you to explain it. It might interest you to know that cross is a Latin word (Cruz). The Bible was not written in Latin. Where you have cross in most bibles today in the Greek language which is one of the original language the Bible was written you'll rather see (stauros) which means an upright stake or straight pole. The Jews used to hang a cursed person or criminal on a tree or stake. Galatians 3:13, Acts 5:30 and 10:39 says Jesus Christ was hunged on a tree as a cursed person. Deuteronomy 21:22,23 shows the Jews are used to hanging people on a stake long before Christ came. So starous Greek meaning of doesn't mean cross it rather means a torture stake or a pole where people are hanged to make them die agonizing death. While Cruz is a Latin word that when translated into English means cross and it's pegan nations who knew nothing about the true God that were using it in worship long before Christ came. Google and see how and when it became part of items used as worship in the church. However God actually warns us against using any image in our worship to him, we should rather worship him in spirit and truth. Using images in worship is idolatary!! God condemned it. 1 Like |

Syncan: 1. So are our saying that Jesus was urging his disciples to carve wooden cross for themselves and follow him? 2. Are you also saying that Paul was boasting over a piece of wood? Do not make the image of anything whether in heaven or on earth. This is Gods commandment for those who enjoy creating and embracing idol. 1 Like |

Boomark: Hahahaha, now he diverts attention to the work of sculptors, no longer the symbolical meaning of a cross. Please when you find something else to discuss let me know, I'll see if it interests me. For now, this post of yours is dead on arrival, for the doctrine we preach is the cross, Christ Crucified. The cross is a source of pride to God, His only begotten son died on it for love of man. Whatever you think Christ meant here...Pls pick up your cross and follow Christ. |

Goshen360: Thanks bro. Its all about the wooden cross. |
Re: The Cross: Symbol Of The Accursed Not Christianity by Boomark(m): 11:51pm On Apr 24, 2016 |
Syncan: The Cross is a symbol of curse. Deuteronomy 21:22-23 22 “If someone has committed a crime worthy of death and is executed and hung on a tree,23 the body must not remain hanging from the tree overnight. You must bury the body that same day, for anyone who is hung is cursed in the sight of God. Your reply made to go back and check all I have written as the OP has been deleted. So you did not understand that I was talking about the wooden cross (tree) you guy bow to in your church, which I said is pure idol worship? Syncan, you cannot run o. You must answer my question. brace yourself like a man. 1. So are our saying that Jesus was urging his disciples to carve wooden cross for themselves and follow him? 2. Are you also saying that Paul was boasting over a piece of wood cross? Do not make the image of anything whether in heaven or on earth.

Boomark: All your rigmarole cannot help you. The questions you ask have no connection with the topic of discuss oga. If cross is such a bad thing, why did Jesus tell us to carry ours and follow him, why did St. Paul pray that we boast of nothing but the cross, why did he continue preaching Christ crucified even though Christ is in heaven? Yet you say it is an affront to depict that act because Christ is now in heaven, lol. Oga you fail this one, just admit it. 2 Likes |
Re: The Cross: Symbol Of The Accursed Not Christianity by goodnews201668: 8:27am On Apr 25, 2016 |
Syncan: My brother that we preach about Christ is a different thing. That we preach about how Christ suffered and was finally put to death on a torture stake is different from carving cross or using it in worship. We are not the first followers of Christ, he had early disciples. Have you ever heard that the Bible said they used cross in worship or while praying. Let me tell you one secret, maybe you never knew it. That cross has long been in use by those who never knew the true God long before Christ came to the earth. It's a worship instrument for pegans at first. Now Google and see how it was adopted by Christians with time. The Bible has no record of followers of Christ ever using cross in worship, it was adopted as time goes by. |

No matter how we try to justify it the cross is integrated into the scriptures, the original language rather means pale or upright pole. It's organs that made use if cross long before Christ came. The CROSS was introduced to the Christian Congregation by Pope Constantine in order to unite paganism and Christianity. Crosses are the world's oldest good luck charms, talismans, or amulets and are found in every continent of the world. This demonic object (CRUX in Latin) entered the vocabulary of most European languages through the corrupt Latin Vulgate version of Jerome. A HOLY Bible and HOLY Scriptures once again with the CROSS removed!! Jesus came to fulfill the Old Testament. There are NO SUCH words as CROSS, CRUCIFY, or CRUCIFIED in the Old Testament—except in the new perversions!! "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a TREE (Gk. xulon)" (Acts 5:29-30). The cross is a symbol for the great mother goddess!! Crosses are the world's oldest good luck charms, talismans, or amulets and are found in every continent of the world. They represent the worship of the great mother goddess of paganism. They originated at Babylon and spread to all the world via Egypt. Syncan: |

goodnews201668: I have had a fair share of religious discuss and arguments on this forum, so I am not so in need of a discuss to jump into argument with just any one, especially one who tells brazen lies. Why should I be arguing with someone who claims there was a Pope Constantine that introduced cross to Christianity. Stop spreading falsehood. |
