you're probably going to the wrong church.
case in point: if your church shut down for any length of time in 2020, you probably need to find a new one.
I'm not judging, it's just an observation.
Doesn't the bible say that when Christ returns that he will say to those that file him to depart because he knows them not? I think it is also likely a sign. If anything it should be a giant red flag of where not to go. I was at a church service and a thought sprang to my mind that the number crosses seemed very idol like and made me wonder that t send like it might be a bit problematic because the cross may have been used more in my memory than Christ himself.
They're idols by definition. Additionally, the Greek word for what Jesus was crucified upon is stalos (stake), which makes the traditional cross imagery pretty unlikely. What the traditional cross imagery matches are symbols of the pagan deity Tammuz, which was heavily syncretized into dubiously "Christian" churches.
Even setting that aside, the symbolism makes no sense. It's like commemorating JFK by putting sniper rifles everywhere or decorating a synagogue with ovens. It's downright creepy.
A more faithful transliteration would be . Not sure how you simply jump to the second, less-popular definition.
But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
John 2:24?
Wish you would have posted more because I was confused by what you meant.
Jesus did the same thing his first time around when people wondered at his miracles but still didn't believe.
The media tells them to.
obviously corrupted
Because jews hostily took over all denominations of Christianity over the last century.
