It represents the cross and the Trinity Three Gods in one... Father Son Holy Spirit.\n\nTake your right hand place to your forehead we (Roman Catholics) would say "Father"\nThen take take the same hand and place it to your heart and we say "Son"\nThen go to the left sholder and we say "Holy"\nThen go to the right sholder and we say "Spirit"\n\nI can not speak for other faiths sorry.

I see your point.  I don't think a cross should be used as decoration or jewelry. But because of Jesus' blood that was shed, it is a symbol of his payment for sins. He was without sin, so Jesus is Holy and it is by association that we think of other symbols and the Bible as Holy, but really only those who believe in Jesus and have his blood to pay for their sins can be made holy.

I don't think it means she will only date christian men, I've seen Madonna wearing a cross, and I don't think she is a christian, or that she has ever dated a christian.  Lots of people wear a cross and in my opinion, misuse it.  I feel very strongly that the cross is sacred.  It's were my Savior laid down His life for me....... .  A wretch like me.  the lady you saw might be a looking for a good christian man you never can tell.  I hope for her sake she finds one.  God Bless You!!!!

When Jesus was crucified the Roman soldiers put up a sign with the initials which stood for "Jesus Christ King of the Jews."  The letters spelled fish.  \n\nWhen it was illegal to be a Christian in Rome, the Christians would use the fish rather than the obvious cross to let other Christians know that they were Christians to avoid persecution.

In Latin crux means cross, though in English we use the word to mean an essential point.\nCentrum = center/centre\nCor = heart\n\nCore in English may be derived from Latin cor.\nCenter/centre is clearly taken from the Latin word.

It was Jesus who said that His yoke was easy and His burden light. He is also the one who said to take up your cross and follow Him. I believe the latter refers to the shame of the cross and the suffering that comes from being identified with Christ. Condemned prisoners were required to carry their crosses to humiliate them, sort of like the perp walk. This was a symbol of their guilt. I think this may be why Jesus fell under the weight of the cross and someone else was ordered to carry it. It wasn't His cross that He died on, it was ours. If you are having problems with people abusing the GIFT of God to continue to live in rebellion against Him, then we are in agreement. These people's faith is shallow and insincere, thus it's false. They may have heard some sort of message and were asked if they believe it and they said yes. This doesn't mean that they came to a full realization or understanding within their hearts of who Jesus really is, why He had to die, and why they need Him. True converts are led to Him by the internal promptings of the Holy Spirit who convicts them of their sin and God's wrath against them. They are moved to repentance and driven to seek refuge in God's mercy and grace through faith in His son Jesus. It is our guilt-ridden consciences that keep us from God just like it did Adam and Eve. Simple and genuine faith in Jesus for our justification gives our conscience peace with God. This produces within us, by the Holy Spirit, great joy, a grateful and carefree heart, and love. If these things motivate you to righteous living then the yoke truly will be light. If fear and guilt, however, are your motivators then you will find yourself trying(and failing)to earn God's favor by cold hearted legalistic efforts to keep a set of rules.

A cross is a symbol reminding us that Jesus was crusified and died so that people could be forgiven for their sins, I have a few crosses around and wear them too.  Your rosary beads sound beautiful.  Treasure them and if they are not blessed go ask a priest to bless them.

It means to get ready to face persecution for His sake but follow Him anyway and be Christlike in your lifestyle. Picking up one's cross is simply to take on the hardships that will most likely befall you as a Christian.

This "sign" mentioned here is actually a composite sign indicating when Jesus' presence would be, a presence felt long after his death. It would indicate the period of time in which he would be established in heaven as the king of God's heavenly kingdom, sitting on the throne with the authority God entrusts to him. As he sits on that throne, he awaits God's command to execute judgement against this Satan-controlled system of things, in which false religion has enslaved billions world-wide. \n\nIf you'll notice the verses after 3, they discuss events that would be distinguishing features of Christ's presence. These signs include wars, food shortages, earthquakes, pestilences, and so on and so forth. While things like these have taken place a long time in human history, they would be experienced on such a dramatic scale that it would be defining a particular moment in human history. \n\nOne of the foremost features of this sign is noted in verse 14, which reads: "And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." So one outstanding feature of the "sign" would be a global preaching campaign, a Bible-education campaign aimed at education people in Bible truths, and sounding a warning of the impending destruction soon to face those 'who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news' as brought out in 1 Thessalonians.

Actually the X is a combination of the Greek letter Chr and then what stood for ist.  So the X with a line intersecting the vertical center was an old Greek way of spelling Christ.  That symbol can be found on some altars.  The early Christians used it as a way to talk about Christ without risking their lives.  It is something that has come down through the years.  I learned this in one of my history classes and when I had to learn the Greek alphabet.

An ampersand (&, &, &, &), also commonly called an and sign, is a logogram representing the conjunction "and". The symbol is a ligature of the letters in et, which is Latin for "and". Its origin is apparent in the second example in the image to the right; the first example, now more common, is a later development.

Some people equate finding a cross or other religious symbol with being an answer from God or a symbol of peace. As if to say, "I am with you, everything will be ok." Is there anything that's been bothering you lately, anything that you've asked the Lord for help in? Use this to help bring peace to your mind and to strengthen your faith. The Lord is by your side, He is with you; walk in confidence knowing this.
