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.


Just keep saying what you like. I just have a simple fact for you. Not long ago, some missionaries came to convert your fathers, they destroyed your father's shrines and gods, taught them Christ crucified, and the power of God was made manifest in them. These men came with the cross, the planted it on the land, they wore it on their bodies, they blessed the people with its sign, they were Christians. What are you without the cross?

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.

Some scholars says emperor Constantine was a Pope.
Anyways if you deny him being a Pope no wahala.
But he is revered as a saint!
My point however is that he introduced the use of cross in Christianity!

Right on point write up in the opening post and titled correctly for whom it may concern

Not just the wooden cross but also the Kaaba too

Kissing the cross, bowing down to the cross, bowing down to the Kaaba, touching or kissing the Kaaba
Both are symbols of worship of gods made of wood/cross and stone/Kaaba as predicted to be or as prophesied in
Deuteronomy 4:28, Deuteronomy 28:36 and Deuteronomy 28:64

Nicely titled bro. wink

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.

I see. It has always been like this. Catholics have nothing to offer as far as bible truth is concerned. I asked you which cross did he tell them carry and follow him, wooden cross? was Paul boasting over a carved wooden cross? Instead of answering, you keep repeating "carry your cross and follow me," because there is nothing to say in defense to making, bowing and kissing the cross.

Ubenedictus came and ran away when he saw it is Boomark again. grin I no boast o. wink

Meanwhile the OP has been UPDATED to reflect you guys poor defense to what you practice.

When it's clear that Christ was impaled not on cross but a pale or stake and cross was introduced by pegans. Na waoo.

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.
You are in ERROR!!!
Not Knowing the Scripture or the The Power of God.

The scriptures and the Power of God are two different things and you guys knowledge of both are futile.(Una no know Jack)

Stop reading junks, constantine was an emperor, he was not a Pope. Before the cross, Christians used the fish as their symbol, do you know that too?

This is why you should study, study about the religion you profess, stop arguing in ignorance, now a sign even the apostles used is what you say is not right. I told you before, when the missionaries came to your fathers, they came with the cross, they destroyed your father's gods and shrines, they planted the cross on forbidden lands and claimed them for Christ, they blessed the people with the sign of the cross, they wore the cross on their bodies, they were true Christians, spreading the goodnews to all nations, and the Most High wrought many miracles through them.
