Many Christian churches have a cross displayed so that the congration faces it while worshiping.
Why is it ok to have a graven imige in the form of a cross in the froont of a chapel?
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[b] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
MATTHEW 26.
UH, ITS CALLED TRANSUBSTANTIATION ...A SPIRITUAL RE- ENACTMENT ...ALSO CALLED A MYSTERY, A MIRACLE...THAT JESUS IS LTERALLY PRESENT AGAIN WITH US.
For those that think its “ like” or a “symbol” of Jesus words, either you don’t believe matthew or you are reinterpretating the bible....and really missing out on that Jesus is living within us.
FLAME AWAY....
Who said it was okay?
No one is worshiping the cross.
Now, if the graven image of Jesus is hanging from it, then that would violate the the first part of this commandment.
Empty Cosses at that...... Symbols of Roman execution.....
