Should Christians Wear Crosses? | What does a cross actually mean?

FREE BOOK download: "10 Words that Will Change the Way You Read Scripture!" www.brandonrobbinsministry.com/
_________________________________________________
For most of high school and college, I wore a cross around my neck. It was part of my identity. It marked me as a Christian.
But should I have been wearing it? Should any Christian wear a cross?
Do we realize what it really is that we are wearing? What a cross actually signifies?
Does it just mark us as a Christian? Or are we promising something much more than that?
This week, learn not only the history of the cross, but what promise you're making when you display one on your body.

    I know Jesus is with me always, because of the life He has taught me to live. Even Jesus condemned idol worshipers when He preached His ministry. He didn't say, "WEAR MY CROSS AROUND YOUR NECK, TO REMEMBER ME"! HE SAID, "And whosoever doth not bear His cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple." Do not change 'bear' to 'wear'!

    Irwin Tilley and Sandie Frankenstein - There have been many documentaries over the years, speaking to the heinous Roman crucifixion. As Brandon explained, a true crucifixion was intended to be humiliating, as painful as it could be and long-suffering. Remember, Jesus was the Son of Man, but God in his own right. The Thursday before the crucifixion, after the Last Supper, Jesus took the disciples, Peter, John and James, to the Garden of Gethsemane, as he wanted to pray. He asked them to stay back and pray and went forward. As he was praying, as God, he was able to see and feel what was ahead - the scouraging, the carrying of the cross and the actual crucifixion. He was perspiring and the tears he shed were mixed with blood. He asked His Father if it was possible for " this cup to pass me by. Not as I will but as yours". Three times he prayed this request, returning to his sleeping disciples in between. And, each time, his Father didn't answer him. So, not only did he experience agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, he realized God was not going to intervene. Long story (a major flaw). I have worn a cross as an infant. When I started school, we all wore crosses. But, as an adult, I wear a crucifix (Jesus on the cross) 24/7 as a reminder that Christ endured what he did because of my sins; everybody's sins. He did this so that I would be spared hell and would be with him eternally in Heaven. I never want to forget how much I am loved, even though I still have "debts" because of sin. There has never been a time when anyone said anything negative to me about my crucifix. And, only before I am cremated may it be removed. My God bless you and your family always.

    It seems people have long forgotten what the cross actually means. If you really look at the text, and the origins of the cross, you'll see that Jesus didn't actually die on a cross, but a simple stake. Also the image of the cross is actually rooted in pagan Babylonian origins. The cross existed long before Jesus even came to earth. Moreover, the Bible strongly warns Christians to “flee from idolatry,” which would mean not using the cross in worship.​-1 Corinthians 10:14; 1 John 5:​21. Significantly, Jesus said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:34, 35) Jesus thereby indicated that self-sacrificing love​-not the cross or any other image-would identify his true followers.

Its a reminder that I don't need to walk through life alone, Jesus walked and walks with me, I just have to trust Him and remember that His love for me was so deep that He chose to be humiliated for me. He chose a public display to show His love for me, I choose a public display to show that I am His.

    Yea, It is a murder weapon if you believe (Jesus) died on one. He did not. The great lies of the Cat a holic church - they created the Protestant churches. Look up Tammuz cross and Yoni fish. We have been greatly deceived. We should not be surprised as Satan is the father of lies. The Son speaking to the church leaders: John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you wish to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it. Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who leads all the world astray. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him.

    Thank you for sending this message because I have been searching for the past week for an answer to a decision I had to make regarding a Muslim friend who asked me to hide my crucifix I am wearing around my neck because her old mother was staring at it. I looked over at her mother and saw that her mom was speaking to someone else and was not even looking at me. Her mother is aware of the fact that I am a Christian and saw it around my neck before. When she said that to me, it felt someone had punched me in the stomach or slapped me in my face. I was deeply shocked and it must have showed on my face. I didn't say anything at that time and just put it out of sight. I just wanted to leave and go home. She tried to apologize for her mom's behaviour but it felt very halfhearted. I got home and cried so much. I thought her to be a good friend of mine. I spoke with a close friend and a sister of mine, both sisters in Christ. Both told me not to break my friendship with the Muslim friend. Both told me to forgive her. I cannot because she made me feel that I did not stand up for Jesus Christ or defend Him, like Peter, who denied Christ when he was told he was one of Jesus' followers, when Jesus was arrested. She's been texting me and calling me and I don't know what to say to her. I've been avoiding her the past week. She took me as her confidante and we grew very close. I thought she understood me that I am a true Christian. But little things, like when I speak openly about my faith or say things like 'Lord have mercy', start to make sense. She would immediately bring her Allah and Muhammed this quote and that quote into the conversation, like interrupting me, like she didn't want to hear what I wanted to say. I wasn't going to convert her to Christianity or anything like that. Not directly but to find in me a true friend and seeing that I don't make demands on her, that I'm always there for her when she needed a friend. Maybe i am making too much of it. But it is very important to me, that she knows that I am first and foremost a true Christian and to respect that, as I have respect for her in her faith. That I love Jesus Christ with my whole life, my whole heart and soul. Writing this down, is exactly what I am going to tell her. I don't know if I would still be friends with her. This has just opened my eyes that she doesn't believe that Jesus Christ has died for me. Muslims do not believe in the crucifixion.

    The Bible indicates that Jesus did not die on a cross but rather on a simple stake. Moreover, the Bible strongly warns Christians to “flee from idolatry,” which would mean not using the cross in worship.​-1 Corinthians 10:14; 1 John 5:​21. Significantly, Jesus said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:34, 35) Jesus thereby indicated that self-sacrificing love​-not the cross or any other image-would identify his true followers

    "For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:18 "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." Luke 9:23 For any Christians who have never studied the actual process of a Roman crucifixion, you really ought to. It's one thing to die a quick and painless death for someone you love, but what Jesus VOLUNTARILY chose to endure for sinners such as us is absolutely breathtaking in both the most horrifying and most beautiful ways possible. No one else has ever or will ever love me like He does, and my plain, wooden cross necklace is a daily reminder of that love. ❤️✝️

Jesus was alive when he spoke it 2. His disciples were ALREADY following him when he said it. Dear friend, the holy spirit shall bring all things to your remembrance, not a necklace. John 14:26 Your reasons for wearing a cross are your reasons alone and I wont fault you for it but I will make you aware of Gods word says about the things you wrote.
