Jesus and the cross?

[Peyote Killa]

No, I'm never angry, but confused as to why some religious people feel the need to follow just cuz everybody else is why can't some people think for themselves?

 

[Peyote Killa]

you are wrong
I TOTALLY understand why you guys wear a cross, but did you ever stop and think about how Jesus might feel about you wearing a cross

For GOD loved the world that he gave his only son to die for OUR sins on the cross so that we may have forgiveness and everlasting life...

Before Christianity, the Jewish community of that time felt that you had to live a perfect and clean life in every way, every day...

Jesus preached that GOD was a forgiving, loving god and if you should sin, you could ask for his forgiveness and you would be forgiven. This is one of the many reasons the Romans and the Jews were frightened by what jesus was saying and pushed to have him crucified.

Wearing the cross is not so much an outward sign of my faith to others, as I am not a pushy christian. It is more of a reminder for ME of the sacrifice of the Trinity of my faith. Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

 

[Peyote Killa]

I understand WHY all of you might wear the cross, I don't care to hear it over and over, but I was just thinking, and it struck me that the guy who died for your sins, happened to die on the same thing that you are wearing. Doesn't that stike any of you as a little aww strucken, considering the man died on the cross, do you think that if he ever comes back, he would actually want to ever see another one?

Is that more clear.

humm....seems to me that Christians have been a persecuted bunch for a couple thousand years....

I do think for myself, peyote, I certainly am not a drone who blindly accepts anything fed to me without a thought....

I think these religion conversations go no where because there is a total intangible involved here...and it's called FAITH! Peyote, from what I gather, you don't have faith, so there really isn't any way that you'll ever be able to understand where I am coming from...although I have been in your shoes before (without faith) so I do know where you are coming from....

The cross I don't mind to much. I DON'T however like the crucifix the catholics use. Jesus rose from the grave so why wear something that show his death and him still being on it. I would rather have a symbol of an empty tomb to show that He(unlike budda, mohamad and all those other false prophets) conquered death and that is why He proved He was God.

if jesus were shot would you were a gun around your neck?

Jesus does not mind if you where a cross.

The sacrifice He made on Calvery was the greatest ever, in the history of the world.

I am sure that He is not bitter or ashamed of what He did and knows that by wearing a cross, individuals commemorate, or remember His great sacrifice.

To be angry about it He would have to be bitter about the whole thing and there is not a chance that He is bitter about it---He aint like that.
