Here at Biblical Truth 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. That alone should draw caution. A symbol of another worshipped Idol being used to signify our Elohim.
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 our Messiah’s life. Again, keep an open mind. It isn’t about what it means to YOU. It’s all about what it means to HIM. Some state it is a way of displaying their belief that HE died and rose three days later. The cross has become a symbol for some to show their devotion to Yeshua but it was a symbol long before Yeshua came along. It was a symbol directly used for another Babylonian Deity named Tammuz. 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.

Biblical Truth
I thank GOD for the biblical truth because I did not know that you are not suppose to wear a cross. I thank GOD for his word is true. That’s why in his word he said study to shew thyself approved. AMEN”
Hi! In our country the people here esp. Catholics wear crosses not to honor pagan gods nor do they honor Elohim but they wear them round their necks as body decor or as a fashion accessories. They have no teaching ingrained in their hearts. Tsk, tsk.
To each his own… We avoid them due to their pagan origin.
You aren’t such Scriptures as..
Jesus commanding those who follow Him to deny themselves and take up their cross…
Paul saying he would glory in nothing but the cross…
Paul stating he is crucified with Christ and yet lives…
That is why you see cross symbolism amongst Christians. It is not replacing Christ. It is remembering what he did! He triumphed over his enemies with a cross! He rose again, ascended into heaven, and will return.
That only applies if you believe the word got translated as Cross. It definitely wasn’t the word cross.
Their is NO enough scriptural references to proof that wearing of cross is idolatry. Merely having an opinion does not mean that is the WORD teaches.
I’m seeking for the truth regarding the use of Cross, that’s how I found this post. But what I’ve read is not scriptural enough to convince me about the use of Cross. The Bible says in the mouth of two or more, shall every word be established. Please provide Bible references to proof your opinions.
Not everything is in the Bible. The Bible doesn’t mention many things but it does give us a WAY of life to live by. We can be for sure, through a quick google search, that the cross wasn’t used by Christians until the 4th Century. We also know the cross was used by ancient pagan religions to worship their gods. With all that in mind, we know the Bible condemns using images or anything in to celebrate HIM the same as other pagans used to celebrate their gods.
I wear a cross as a belief in the salvation that Jesus Christ atoned for all christian believers when He died on it and shed His blood. He died and then was resurrected, He is due all glory and praise, I believe the cross to be a most loving way to show I am carried by Him in all truth and praise His name above all names as my Savior and Lord.
We noticed that everything you stated was about you. You can show your love in a way found in this verse, John 14:15.
Well then why do priests who perform excorcism use the cross and bible? to return the devil to hell and protection against evil! Correct! I would think it was for the protection and provocation to remove evil. I would think it shows our faith and love for what he has done for us. I would also see it as protection for all the evil around us since its symbol is displayed in our churches and used in our faith to him. I won’t ever remove mine. Also the Nazi symbol around the neck is no comparison. The nazis were killers Christ was not. The Jews wear their own symbolism for their beliefs and I don’t see that changing 2000 years later so your comparison is ridiculous. The cross symbolizes his sacrifice to us for our sins and his deliverance days later. How can you compare that to nazis symbol …????? Also anything can happen 2000 years later but your hypotheses on it is way overboard and far fetched. If we teach our children well the faith will not be lost or replaced by such nonsense 2000 years later but that falls into our hands but I honestly believe we won’t be here anyway since we have destroyed everything he has given us. We are too caught up in materialism and not our faith. Materials don’t go with us and we better wake up! God bless
The analogy given by you comparing Nazism to Christianity is absolutely the worst and disgusting. The Cross symbolizes Christianity and Him on the Cross is the birth of Christianity. If you cannot wrap this around your evil pea brain then you have no right to profess your twisted evil thoughts, because you are just sending the wrong message like a wolf.
Just by wearing twin towers or putting up a picture of NY with the twin towers in your house does not symbolize all those who died on 9/11. Can’t believe how you people use God just to make money.
Sounds to us like you idolize the cross? There seems to be some real disdain for us with your comments which is odd as we just post our research and it’s your job to compare that to Scripture like the Bereans did. And btw… We don’t make a penny on anything, this site and articles are completely free.
Because priests are doing what they have been taught. The cross is nothing but a symbol. The star of Davis is nothing but a symbol. Symbol have no value. But, to some, the symbol have a meaning and are idolized.
For many years, I displayed crosses all over my home- even a large lit one in our window every night.
In the last few years, as I’ve prayed and asked the Lord Elohim to please humble and teach me the truth- He has led me to really start reading the Word for myself daily and honor the true Sabbath (which I always thought was just Sunday, but after reading it was Fri sundown to Sat sundown, I felt to honor what He said versus what I thought was fine based on how I was raised.)
Anyway, after starting to see that so much of what I have been taught in church and through tradition was false and contradicts the Scriptures (man’s holidays vs Yahweh’s holy days, obedience is better than sacrifice, and much more) I realized I have been blind this whole time- lukewarm and being led astray in deception. Many do not know they are being deceived and when confronted- pride puffs up in anger.
Our Heavenly Father is holy and requires His children to also be holy like Him. We are to follow after Christ and be discerning yet gentle. Elohim convicted me that all the crosses I had were idols and did not please Him- they were symbols He despised.
I was shocked coming to terms with this. The day I knew in my Spirit Ruach that this was confirmed- I took down every cross and got rid of every cross (jewelry,etc) that I had. I repented, and realize that we are to be filled with His Spirit- the salt and light unto the world. The truth in the darkness. Living vessels of His Spirit and Word just as we are.
The truth hurts, it stings, it may be hard to take- but to those who are humble and meek in Spirit- it will change our lives and transform our faith. The Lord is looking for those who are undefiled and set apart- obeying Him is how we Love Him.
Please listen, as we become more and more refined, He prunes and refined us more and more. We may become hated by those who also call themselves followers because we no longer confirm to traditions of man, church, religion but rather abide in Yeshua alone. He disciplines and instructs those He loves and those who love Him. It is time to come out of this world.
