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.

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.

[@iAdden]

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.

I wear a cross. It reminds me of who I belong to. One evening while I was out with friends, someone was using God's name as a cuss or exclamation in conversation. He quickly turned and apologised after someone caught his attention and shook their head at him, pointing at me and then their neck. They were signalling to him that I was Christian. I told him I didn't need an apology but God did because it was HIS name. I wear it always.

[@lupitaolson7837]

Thank you for making it so clear, why I wear a cross 🙏🙏

[@releasekracklin4538]

I was pleasantly surprised...I was expecting a denouncing of the cross, or something like that. I'm confident in placing a hearty thumbs up to this video. We'll said, brother.

[@phomesamaysomsanit3996]

Thank you for sharing my brother, i am a baby Christian following gods word and really trying to understand what I really means to be his son and what he has done for us. You are absolutely right with the cross represting the true values and meaning in what the cross signifies. Wearing the cross from what you have said empowered me further glory be to GOD to understand the pain and humility he went through. ⛪🙌❤

[@BrandonRobbinsMinistry]

Thank you for watching. And I'll be praying for you as you grow in your relationship with Christ!

[@dadi1510]

Thank you for such a valuable eye opener. It was as if the Holy Spirit was using you to speak to and encourage me to continue to do what I have been doing for the last 35 plus years. I feel rejuvenated . God bless you Pastor.

[@classicdbdplayer3610]

Wow i love how you really talk so emotional

[@PETERJOHN101]

Rehearsed emotion so that his Marxist propaganda can be inserted into every video without you noticing.

[@gemradiant6350]

Amen! I’ve worn my great-grandmothers tiny, simple gold cross since my Communion. I never took it off. It was a reminder of my faith; it showed the world I am a follower of Jesus, and I want to love and live as he did. I have passed this family cross to my own daughter now. Our generational faith continues, and the cross reminds us off Jesus’ great and intentional sacrifice for us! My husband and I went and picked out a delicate diamond and gold cross for me. I wear it every day. ✝️

[@pamelalaub2285]

Beautiful post. The Cross ✝️ is a constant reminder of what Christ did for me

[@lizalley4258]

It reminds me of who I belong to !!!!! Not if this world , But his!!!!

[@camdenbuckley4495]

I got baptized and my grandma took me to go get a cross necklace and I never take it off thank you for this video. God bless you

[@standinginthegap7118]

I wear the cross every day to remind myself of the magnitude of Yeshua, Jesus Christ's sacrifice for me. To remind me that I am bought with a great price, and that I am not my own. For it is no longer I that lives but Christ that lives within me. Thank you for this teaching and your commitment to sharing God's word.

[@jasminemelon]

I have worn a cross for years as a symbol of my Christian faith to show others that I love the Lord Jesus

[@strawberrieee7754]

I was crying to the lord, before this video. I was crying for the people I love, and for the people of this world. And I was crying for my soul, because it's been lost and scared every step of the way. I came to this video with this question " Can a Christian wear a cross without being mistaken for it being another reason?" and suddenly I realized that was my fear that was plaguing my faith to God. I feel that its wonderful you made this video with heart and meaning. keep it up whenever you feel like it! Your message was so powerful to the point my question seemed to be meaningless in the value that you have reminded us of.

[@richardhildreth4471]

Thank you brother, great video. I am Orthodox. It is a tradition in the church to wear the cross. In fact,, many receive one upon baptism. There are two schools of thought on the wearing of it. The traditional one is that Christ stated that if we want to be his disciples, we are to pick up our cross and follow Him. As it is not jewelry, according to this tradition you wear it beneath your clothing to remind yourself that you bear the cross of Christ. The other belief is that one wears it publicly to compel others to ask you about it. Thank uou again.

[@BrandonRobbinsMinistry]

Hey, Richard. It’s really cool to hear that perspective. Thanks for watching!

[@TeachMeLordGod]

Mine is only visible if I'm wearing a tank top or something like that. I love Jesus and I don't want to treat the cross as a mere accessory. Mine is made of clear quarts and paragard rope so it is water proof (made of nylon). I didn't want one made of metal.

[@CJ-cm5lv]

As you read I felt your pain knowing that our heavenly father suffered so much. I understand. I also feel a great pain knowing he laid down his life & suffered so much that we; through his sacrifice might save ours. Much love in Christ. Thank you for your teachings. You showed up at the right time on my feed. Our Father in heaven is so good to us ♡♡

[@presilasub118]

Thank you Jesus for loving me n dying for me n all human race. There's no one like him. He's my Lord n Saviour. I honour him n I feel he's always with me n I am in Christ that's why I wear the Cross Hallelujah Glory to Christ

[@Peaches14580]

I wear it cause he saved my life I thank him that I’m alive

[@desikamanis9219]

I loved the video it gave me more understanding I’ve worn a cross most of my life, what it stands for me is a reminder that Jesus was crucified & died on the cross ✝️ for me and all mankind

"You Shall Not Make Unto Yourself any carved image. Or any likeness of anything that is in Heaven above, or that is in the Earth beneath, or that is in the water under the Earth."

It should not be worn at all .Has salvation now become outward?.See videos on God's warning on Jewelry.

[@annettebasset828]

So true, Brandon! I love wearing my cross as a reminder of how Jesus suffered and died for each one of us and I am a thankful devoted follower of Jesus Christ.

[@ashleysimmons3210]

Hey no way I do too!

[@MaribelleDib]

The first day I wore my cross After getting closer to god again I just said the word that god said to Constantine it's with his sign that you will defeat your enemies I had a tachycardia attack that same day and Thanks to God I managed to get through this complicated situation during the whole time of my hospitalization I always repeated a single sentence Jesus never gives heavy crosses to Heavy to carry and that's how I managed to get through this hospitalization

[@Lanalongchar]

I'm wearing one and watching this video... And yes, I'm proudly to say that I'm a Christian 🙌🏻🤗

[@divyakshimehra]

Waao actually i was reading about the mendalian crosses when I came across this. Vid of yours... I am not a Christian.. But I have studied in a Christian missionary school in India 🇮🇳... It was truly beautiful to know the actual cause... And it's truly beautiful love from India.. Very well explained.. I almost had tears in my eyes listening to you

[@BrandonRobbinsMinistry]

Wow. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your comment!

[@TeachMeLordGod]

When I first experience God's love, I cried too. I felt so bad that I mocked Him but I felt His forgiveness and ever since, my faith has grown. I did none of this myself. All I did was listen to God and things just started accumulating like He promised it would. The God head is so powerful. I'm so happy to know the triune God. It is God in His 3 forms.

[@rw9692]

Excellent teaching. I was given one but couldn't decide if I should wear it. I feel encouraged to wear it now. Thank you. God bless you!

[@nancygiddings2905]

I just finished watching this one before going to bed. I don't know if you have ever heard of this but a new pastor that has been assigned as senior pastor over the church where I am a member told me and then in front of the entire congregation said, I have nothing against you wearing a cross around your neck, I want you to know that you are no better a Christian by doing that. He has never worn a cross, to my knowledge. I noticed that many members stopped wearing their crosses.I have prayed about it. Recently, I have quit attending that particular one because of a joke that he stood up and told everyone about Jesus's mother and Martha. It was vile and hurt my heart so much that I couldn't return. My mother who was born a Jew and at the age of 36, accepted Jesus Christ as Saviour, giving her heart to Him. She taught me and my siblings much from God's Word. She loved Jesus Christ more than anyone else ever! I feel that same love. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone. In Christ Jesus I Am, Nancy S Ollie

[@PETERJOHN101]

That pastor was sending up a red flag with his comment about the cross. His joke about the Lord's mother was more evidence that something was wrong.

[@TeachMeLordGod]

@@PETERJOHN101 I hope he repents and turns from that sin and apologizes to those he hurt

[@nymin7]

Apart from the pagan ties, the cross is a religious symbol and according to the Bible, God cautioned his people against forming signs and figures with which to honor him by in 1 Corinthians 10:14. They were instead directed to carry their faith in their hands according to Deuteronomy 6:8. He also forbids the prideful adornment of shiny ornaments with the intent to garner attention and to be admired in 1Peter 3:3.

[@callaseter2174]

Thanks for the video! I wear mine not only for myself, but for others also . Hopefully/prayerfully I live respectfully enough to glorify his name , and others will see that and think about it. Im still and always be a work in progress tho . GOD bless 🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸!!!! Let’s Go Brandon!!!!!

[@missourigal]

very sobering commentary. i wear a cross and have accepted some of what you said but not all the commitment attached to this symbol. thank you for your teaching on this topic.

It actually made me shed tears this morning love you pal amen

[@scottintexas]

“Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.” He was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.” Mark 7:8-9 “ You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.” Exodus 20:4 The Christian says, “But, Jesus knows what’s in my heart by wearing a cross.” - God says, “The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it?” Jeremiah 17:9 Even satanic rock stars and Hollywood elites wear crosses. It’s NOT about the cross, but He who was nailed to it. It’s NOT even about the resurrection, but He who defeated death. The Romans began this worship of the cross in the 5th century. “Come out of her My people!” If you would be obedient to Torah as Yeshua, His disciples, and Paul were, this would be obvious. Do not follow man-made traditions, whether by rabbinic oral laws or Roman edicts.

[@sukrull381]

Amen Scott , how ppl don't see this !!! This is a carved image ? Man made , Remember ppl Satan is a MASTER deceiver be wise search for the truth!!!!

[@eddieyork8267]

Agreed

[@TempleoftheSon]

We don't worship the cross, we wear it because it represents the sacrifice that Yeshuah made for us. It represents his victory over death. And it represents our commitment to make our own daily sacrifices in putting away our sinful nature and walking the narrow path of righteousness with Yeshauh.

[@TempleoftheSon]

Was the serpent of brass that Moses hung up that foreshadowed the crucifixion of Yeshauh an idol? (Numbers 21)

[@scottintexas]

It’s quite simple, unless you’re stuck on traditions. “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.” Exodus 20:4 “Worship at the cross” at your own risk. Idols like crosses only dilute that it’s only about Him.

[@lichun6811]

Thank you …. this video helped me i will be replacing my crucifix with a cross as Jesus has risen from the cross - although the crucifix reminds how Jesus suffered for us, we must be reminded that he has risen . Thanks Brandon i will definitely look forward to your next video. X

In Christ Alone! We are bought with a price. To live is Christ to die is gain. Thank you for this message. May we humble ourselves and take up our cross daily.

[@mxhni_3637]

I want one as a statement saying that I am trying to get closer to GOD and a reminder of my savior ,Jesus.

[@marymagdelina5215]

The best way to honor the Lord is to make a statement with your behavior. Talk (and symbolism) are cheap. Pray...fast...read your Bible and submit to the Lord...that is the statement we all need to make...not jewelry around our necks (or elsewhere) that pagans also wear...and that was introduced to out faith via mithraism

[@rickylara9178]

I wear it as to remind myself and others of his sacrafical love for humanity

[@BrandonRobbinsMinistry]

Hi, Esther. Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you found the video helpful!

[@DailyDoseofMayu]

I hope you speak of the cross as not the one you are wearing because that cross cant protect you, Jesus can not your jewelry.

[@DailyDoseofMayu]

Then again, it can be yourself, you can save yourself through faith in Jesus :) glory be to God.

I wear a Jewish star and in the middle it has a cross . Why I wear it is because Jesus was Jewish and I am Christian. I am proud of my star and my little cross in the middle of the star . I wear it for Jesus it will always remind me what Jesus die for and God what he gave us also .

[@artgalleryandcraftsbydeb9135]

Some years ago I was wearing a cross necklace. I have several cross items and jewelry. I wear them on occasion, And when I do I feel closer to Jesus, to God. On this particular day I was at work with my necklace on. A very nice lady that I consider a friend looked at me and boldly asked. “Why do you wear a cross, I don’t understand.” I told her it made me feel closer to Jesus and reminds of why he died for us.” Her religion would have not permitted this, she was Jahova Witness belief. She went on to say that if you had a loved one die at the hand of a gun would you wear a gun around your neck. Being much younger than I am now, I did not reply to her. Later I was thinking I should have said, I would never ridicule you for your beliefs and Jesus did die for us, so we can have everlasting life. I wear this symbol because I believe. We remained friends and I never held this against her. I prayed for her understanding as well as mine. I still wear my cross jewelry. What she said that day only made me delve deeper and try to understand it more. You my friend have explained this so well. I will always remember what you have said here, and continue to keep and wear the cross as a symbol of his great Love. Thank You for all of your wonderful videos.

[@PETERJOHN101]

His statement that we should "destroy systems of injustice" and give up "power and privilege" are coded Satanist propaganda talking points. This is not a Christian teacher or follower of Jesus, every video released on this channel includes a subtle push away from Christianity and toward Marxism. Don't fall for these atheist-funded psyop programs circulating everywhere on KZbin. He is a fake.

[@judsonbaker1959]

This is amazing description of what the cross stands for as a Christian.

[@annaryan4803]

A few years ago, I hung a cross by my door that look like it was made of two spikes...similar to the ones that held Christ to the cross. As I stood outside on my porch one day, three men stood about 50 feet from me, looking at me with a sinister look. I was just about to race inside, and lock my door, when one of them pointed to the cross. All 3 then stared at it like it held some force they were afraid of, then rushed away.

[@TeachMeLordGod]

Amen

[@Finerobin00]

This was so powerful and gave great clarity and places a much more Significant honor for the cross and how to explain it to people who where them. Thank you
