The Cross Is an Idol
Everyone thinks of the cross when they think of “church.”
The early Church, which Jesus established and the apostles attended, never erected the cross
It’s because having the cross and giving meaning to it is an act against the second of the Ten Commandments, “You shall not make for yourself an idol.”
We can come to realize that the cross was used by many ancient religions as a symbol of faith throughout history.
It was just an execution tool in the time of Jesus.
As Christianity got secularized, the cross was introduced into the church after Jesus and the disciples are gone.
The Church of God rejects the images of the cross because it is an idol, and values Christ who sacrificed Himself on the cross and the meaning of His precious blood.

When you think about this problem, it's actually a very simple problem. There is no substitute for me in this world. so No substitute for GOD in this world. Do I really need an idol to believe in the Almighty God?
The cross is not a symbol, but a idol... God commanded us not to make any idol.. We have to know that and share this to those who don’t know that the cross is the idol!!
The Bible says that God's people shouldn't worship or revere idols or something which man made by his hands, because we can't worship God as a idol. If someone worshiped a idol, He must be cursed as God said. The same way, the cross which can't save us is a idol which we shouldn't worship. The way to salvation is to keep the Passover of the new covenant Jesus established by His blood shed on the cross.
The cross is a mere idol God forbade us from worshiping. It originated from Babylon. Those who worship the cross cannot get salvation.
It's a pity that many people don't know that the cross is just an idol, not a sacred thing...
Cross worship is idol worship. God said not to make any shape. Therefore, the claim that "the cross is made but not worshipped" is all non-bible
I did not know that Cross is an Idol until reading this article.
Now I can distinguish that what is an Idol!
Cross is nothing. Cross doesn't have any power and ability.
When we regard it as a sacred thing, that is idolatry
Many people misunderstand cross as a symbol of church. However, according to the Bible, cross is a mere idol, which God told us to never make or worship.
Considering the origin of the cross, it can't be a symbol of the church at all.
What Jesus really wanted us to do is not setting up the cross and revering it but commemorating His death and keeping the New Covenant Passover. We must know what is God's will and follow His commands.
The cross is an idol. But many people don't know it. The bible clearly teaches us that it is an idol. It is just made by men. That's why it has no power.
As Bible mentioned, The Cross is only scarecrow, not holy thing. We have to know how foolish of peoples who wearing cross ring or hang cross necklace are!!! We must let them know what is ture truth !!
How can we regard the Cross which is a punishment tool as sacred? Never! I give thanks and praise to Christ Ahnsahnghong for teaching us that we must not obey the Cross, an idol.
Cross worship is idol worship. The Bible says not to make any shape
Even though the Bible teaches us that the Cross is idol several times, Cross is regarded as a symbol of church now. To those people let's deliver the truth.
