Is Cross An Idol?

Friday, October 30, 2009

Every Church you go nowadays it’s full of crosses. I guess they don’t know that in Gods point of view the cross in an idol. And what God describes about idolatry in the Bible is not nice at all.

Exodus 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

What is an idol in Gods point of view? It can be anything right? But he specifically testifies what is an idol…

Leviticus 26:10 This is what the LORD says: "Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the sky, though the nations are terrified by them. For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. Like a scarecrow in a melon patch, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good."
You don’t have to be that smart to understand what God is describing here, looks like a scarecrow…adorn will silver and gold…can’t speak…can’t walk…must be carried and it’s an idol. What is it? What looks like a scarecrow? CROSS.

God doesn’t want us to follow idols, the cross was just an execute tool used to kill criminal 2,000 years ago. Then how can we remember Christ worshiping the tool they used to kill him? It doesn’t make any sense. What if he would have been killed by the guillotine which was also an execution tool at that time? Would you go to a Church full of guillotines? No right? But what is the difference, there’s none both were just tools of execution.

Idolatry is to worship anything as a God, will God be pleased if we do this? Only God can give us salvation, not any idols. Don’t follow peoples way, it is truly worthless.
