Is it OK For Christians to Wear a Cross?

[@christykelly1]

I wear a cross to remember what He did for me 🤍

[@christykelly1]

@Manan Dhyani sorry I don't understand what you are trying to say?

[@christykelly1]

@Manan Dhyani He didnt save Himself, He died along with all our sins so we could live an eternal life with Him in heaven. He is God because He is a part of the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) He is God and He came to Earth as a human so He could experience all the hardships along with everyone else. So yes, He didnt save Himself but God raised Him from the dead and a month later He ascended into Heaven (without dying again) to sit by the right hand of the Father.

[@christykelly1]

@UCcmBeBSTI4dSZx9KDj9tU_g Firstly, Jesus was Jewish which evolved from the religion Yahwism. Christians believe in the same God as Jewish people but we believe that Jesus died for everyone. Secondly, Adam and Eve were the first man and woman on the Earth and they walked with God. Adam and Eve lived about 156000 yea ago and as I said before, they walked with God. That is WAAAAY Hinduism was started. Furthermore, Jesus died for EVERYONE, even you, we have to accept Him into our hearts and let Him help us live out our daily lives to be like him. Sadly, because of the devil, there is sin in the world which steers us away from God with temptations. Have you ever told a white lie? Have you ever done something bad? It is all sin, even the small things. Everyone sins, even you. The only person who has never sinned was Jesus which is why he could die for us. Jesus died along with all our sins and rose again so we could be new with him. Plus, America and Britain has nothing to do with Christians, Muslims or Jews. These three Abrahamic religions were founded in the Middle East. Yes, maybe some British colonizers were Christian but their faith is between them and God. The things that they did back then were wrong and sinful. I don’t even live near America or Britain so I don’t really understand how this is relevant. With Christianity, there are different branches of Christianity, but I believe that Jesus died for everyone and I can pray to Him and the Trinity and have a relationship with Him.

I had a near death experience, and I got one this month. A simple wooden cross being my skin was sensitive to the material on the jewelry. I prayed over it and it will be my reminder that the most high is with me and to always be about what is righteous. It definitely is a reminder that the love Jesus for us on the cross. The humble wood cross will also ultimately, for me, symbolize how humble I am onto my my high Heavenly Father. After nearing losing my life, and losing Lord Jesus and Heavenly Father in my life, I prayed and begged him never to leave me. This is a symbol of me as a man devoted to my walk of faith. So, I will wear mine and carry one as well in this walk of faith. I never want to be without my savior and Heavenly Father.

[@cindybaker7153]

I do wear a small cross. The closer I come to Christ, the darker the world becomes. My hand goes to my neck at times, the small cross reminds me what He has done for us, his children. It reminds me who I am without Him. It reminds me that I must die daily and live in Christ. It reminds me that Christ left the Holy Spirit to convict me and comfort me. It reminds me that He is preparing a place for me. When true persecution comes and they take it away from me, that’s ok. They will never take away the scripture I have hidden in my heart and the God I know who is my Master, Savior and Father.

"This cross is the tree of my eternal salvation nourishing and delighting me. I take root in its roots, I am extended in its branches, I am delighted by its dew, I am fertilized by its spirit as by a delightful breeze. In my tent I am shaded by its shade and fleeing the excessive heat I find this refuge moist with dew. Its flowers are my flowers; I am wholly delighted by its fruits and I feast unrestrainedly on its fruits which are reserved for me always. This is my nourishment when I am hungry, my fountain when I am thirsty, my covering when I am stripped, for my leaves are no longer fig leaves but the breath of life. This is my safeguard when I fear God, my support when I falter, my prize when I enter combat, and my trophy when I triumph. This is my narrow path, my steep way. This is the ladder of Jacob, the way of angels, at the summit of which the Lord is truly established. This is my tree, wide as the firmament, which extends from earth to the heavens, with its immortal trunk established between heaven and earth; it is the pillar of the universe, the support of the whole world, the joint of the world, holding together the variety of human nature, and riveted by the invisible bolts of the Spirit, so that it may remain fastened to the divinity and impossible to detach. Its top touches the highest heavens, its roots are planted in the earth, and in the midst its giant arms embrace the ever present breaths of air. It is wholly in all things and in all places." -Anonymous author from Asia Minor (2nd century AD), _On the Holy Easter_ 51.

He is our protector ,our provider ,our everything etc etc. We don't need amulets ,crosses ,garlic wine ,bones ,lucky charms etc that is is only for religious people who do not know the living God.

I’m so surprised that the narrator said what he did about the cross! Everything amounted to how someone personally feels about the cross, is what I got from him. I think it’s more serious than that! On the walls, on the inside of the ancient Egyptian pyramids, there are crosses depicting usage of it at least 2,000 yrs before Christ in the B.C. Period. There is a constellation in the sky called the “southern cross “ where the ancient Greeks and others used it in astrological purposes to contact their gods through their Delphi oracles, similar to the Ouija Board today. The cross is a B.C. Religious symbol that didn’t represent Christ during its heyday. It’s originally a pagan symbol related to the occult since astrology is condemned in the Bible. That’s why it was in the hands of pagan Rome instead of the Jewish people when Christ came, passed on down from the Greeks, Egyptians and the Babylonians.
