It is a question of emphasis, really. A crucifix certainly can be an important symbol of the pain and suffering of Jesus, during his passion on the cross, that which made the only sufficient and final sacrifice for the sins of those who believe.
However, the fact of the resurrection comes after the crucifixion (final, once perfect and sufficient sacrifice!). The resurrection is why we know that Jesus is Lord and it made manifest that he could overcome death( unlike anyone else crucified, say the thieves on either of his sides.)
The post does not live up to its name. The reason that you see Biblical Christians here is that it claimed to give answers and then ended up with something like " where is the mass in the Bible ?, everywhere and nowhere ". I would not have posted something like this as a defense of my position.
As to your final line, I am not sure how that fits here.
Corinthians offers much to one who is seeking to understand the mind of Christ. I know that I should spend a great deal more time studying the Word. And at your mentioning of the text, I will go to first Corinthians this morning.

Be that as it may, the Church Jesus establishes commands the Crucifix be present at the altar during the Pluperfect Sacrifice of the New Covenant.

We Biblical Christians hear the Pillar and Ground of truth. Now, I understand y'all have diferent sources of authority. So, we will agree to disagree
