The cross is just a symbol representing salvation through Jesus.

In the end I doubt any of this will really matter... God may be wondering why we argue over such stupid sensless things! I'll just plead ignorance on my part, How was I to know that when you translate the Torah the actual words or meanings get lost...

Opiwan take this :shooting:

and don't expect to find me praying for your blast wounds under a cross neither... point dually noted my friend!

Forgive me for my breif moment of reverting back to my old church fundamental ways of pushing beliefs on others by means of violence :shooting:

and any possible future threats of dammnation :hell:

That was a brief look into my past of the brainwashing :headscratch:

of the churches I had attended...

WTF?

Now this is just ridiculous..........

I can't pretend to be surprised though when my own daughter was suspended for three days from elementary school because of bringing a pair of fingernail clippers to school that had a fingernail file in it!

I know the issues are not the same............Yet they are..................

the cross symbolises the monumental sacrafice that our lord and savior made for us...he gave his own earthly life as a price for all that we do wrong...the cross is the most powerfull symbol on earth ..it is like the signature on a contract...signed,sealed and delivered...Jesus stuck to his side of the deal its entirely up to you...and try and look at it from Gods side---if your son was tortured and crucified by a gang of mindless idiots who would you invite in to your home? those that didnt care or those who loved him.... i have always loved JESUS and he has truly blessed me....and he will bless you to if you ask him...he is the son of God and he is amazing...
