The Cross (This may SHOCK you)

We will tell you though that we DO NOT wear crosses. It symbolizes death and pre-dates Christianity. It started long ago in Babylon. It can be traced back to be a symbol of Tammuz.

Now before you get upset, please open your mind and look at it through HIS eyes. Over the last 2000 years we have adopted the practice of displaying Crosses as a way of symbolizing our Faith in Yeshua. We have adopted a Man-Made Tradition that goes against HIS commands to avoid symbols. According to the Scriptures, HE doesn’t even want them in our homes. Let’s look at it like this. The Cross symbolizes the most brutal slaughter of a human being possible. It was a brutal and torturous way to kill our Messiah. HE suffered deeply. There were much easier ways for our Messiah to die. If you search deep enough into the Scriptures you will find that our Messiah wasn’t truly “hung on a cross”; it was more like a tree. These trees were used by the Romans to kill people long before Yeshua died on one. The tree was used as the ULTIMATE disgrace to the worst criminals of those times. It was used as a display to warn other criminals of the consequences of their crime. If you look close enough you will find that many of the things you were taught about the cross never appear in the Bible. There is not one instance anywhere that shows any of Yeshua‘s followers wore a symbol of Death after HE was sacrificed. Some quote Mark 8:34 as a way of proving it is okay to wear a cross or have one in the home.

Let’s look at it another way. The Holocaust was the single most horrific time in the life of the Jewish people. We all know how evil that time was. Do you think it would be okay to wear a Nazi symbol around your neck in remembrance of the Jewish people who were killed during that time. You might be saying this is a huge stretch and how could we even compare the two. In today’s society the Nazi symbol is a horrid thing and every single person knows its meaning. Well, if you let 2000+ years go by and somebody comes along and teaches us that wearing a Nazi symbol is the right thing to do in rememberance of the Genocide that occured against the Jewish People, then it would become a Tradition!!! Let 2000+ years go by and it could evolve into a symbol that becomes a memorial symbol to society. The wearer of the symbol will believe they are remembering the lost lives and have their heart in the right place but it goes against HIS commands to avoid symbols. The Cross is the exact same thing. It has become a memorial symbol of the worst day in Christianity. Again, keep an open mind. It isn’t about what it means to YOU. It’s all about what it means to HIM. Do you wear a symbol of a Manger around your neck to symbolize HIS birth???

You may wonder how we can display our Faith in Yeshua??? According to the scriptures people will know our Elohim by how we live our lives. They can see that the Ruach HaKodesh lives inside of us. We are told in 2 Thessalonians 2:15 to “stand firm” and hold to the traditions the Bible teaches not what man teaches. Wearing symbols is what man has taught us not Yahweh and not Yeshua.
