Cross-Reverence Is Idolatry

Cross is a wooden idol. It is nothing but idolatry before god to worship or wear the cross

Ex 20/4~5 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of any thing in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them

Today many people think the cross is only a symbol of the crucifixion, not an idol

God wants his people not to make idols of any kind and not to worship them. If it’s okay before god to believe the cross as a symbol of Jesus’ sacrifice

Lev 26/1 Do not make idols or set up an image or sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it.

God doesn’t want us to make any idols to worship. What the cross is in the sight of god?

Jer 10/2~10 Do not learn the ways of the nations… like a scarecrow in a melon patch, their idols cannot speak…they are taught by worthless wooden idols.

The cross is one of the wooden idols from the nations worshipping other gods.

It is only a worthless idol. What is going to happen to those who dare to make and bow down to it?

Dt 27/15 Cursed is the man who carves an image or casts an idol - a thing detestable to the Lord

The cross is a detestable idol before god. Those who make and worship the cross will be cursed.

Jer 2/27 They say to wood, ‘you are my father’ and stone, ‘you gave me birth’ they have turned their backs to me and not their faces.

As the bible goes, some people call their father before a wooden idol, a cross; others say “you gave me birth” before a stone idol, the Virgin Mary. What’s going to happen to these churches that revere the cross? Do you think they can be saved?

In the time of Moses, the Israelites worshipped the bronze snake in the desert.

It is a copy and shadow of the things to happen in the time of the new testament. Just as a Israelites revered the bronze snake, so today people worship the cross as a symbol of Christ Jesus

Nu 21/4~9 Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.

How were the Israelites saved when they spoke against god and were bitten to death by snakes? Was it because of a bronze snake or god’s mighty word?

What would have happened to those who looked at the bronze snake with no words from god? Do you think they could have been saved? However, the Israelites, ignorant of god’s word, had worshipped the bronze snake from then to king Hezekiah

2ki 18/3~6 He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. … he kept the commands the lord had given Moses.

the Israelites had worshipped the bronze snake for about 1,000 years as a holy symbol of god’s salvation. Actually what was it before god?

In the same way many contemporary Christians, ignorant of god’s word, worship the cross. It is another kind of idol like the bronze snake.

Jn 3/14~15 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the son of man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.

People can be saved only when they have firm belief in Jesus, not a cross.

If the Israelites had used a hammer, would you worship or wear a hammer?

They used a cross to kill your spiritual father. How then can you worship it?

The cross is a kind of execution tool used for crucifying Jesus.

It is a symbol of murder, not love from Jesus. The Cross is an idol.
