Christians, why don't you take Jesus off your crucifixes?

He was crucified because the men of that day, the ones with power to lose, wanted him out of the picture.  Plain and simple. He was preaching love one another and share your wealth and turn the other cheek ( I do have a problem with that last one) and they felt threatened, so they put pressure to have him removed.  Hard core politics. Personally, I feel the bible was written by men to control men. Not in a bad way but in a way to set a standard by which we can live. And if we follow these standards, we will mostly, remain within the law and not hurt one another nor upset the 'upper crust's' apple cart. That is the way they want it.  Then and now. God did not sit down with Moses and have him carve out 10 rules to live by. (Only 10?)  Tell you what, go to Washington D.C. and tell the world what an idiot the president is.  You have a right to speak out, you may not be lying, and you certainly have not sinned, but there will be those who will want you removed. And you will be. Although today you will not be crucified, only evacuated.

Because they hated Jesus too, and Jesus prophesied that you would be hated on account of his name, os don't give in, pick up your torture stake and continue following him.

Hi, I am 63 and a spiritualist and I have been wearing my crucifix as a statement of my faith, my belief in God, the Divine Spirit and Christ for many years now.  My crucifix is  made of mother of pearl and, I believe, is french.  It is very precious to me, not only because of my beliefs, but because my dear Mum bought it for me.  She passed to spirit 3 years ago.  She made such an effort to buy it for me.  My sister pushed her in her wheelchair to the local antique shop where she bought it for a Christmas present.  I only take it off when I shower as I am frightened of damaging it. Otherwise it never leaves my neck and if it slips behind my clothing I put it on show again.  I would NEVER take it off for anyone.  BA have no right to ban crucifixes.  If they do that then those who follow other religious denominations must also adhere to the rules.  This could really get out of hand - what next?  We all have a right to which faith we follow, and as such should be allowed to wear a symbol of that faith.  It is now getting ridiculous - not allowed to say certain words in case they offend, can't wear what we want.  The whole world is going mad and I am sure God did not want this divide.

I am not a Christian, but I'm willing to lay odds most people would not change their beliefs. Faith is a powerful tool, and if its strong enough, not even irrefutable proof will bend it. There have been many such discoveries lately, lending credence to the fact Jesus was human, had children, etc. About 80% of the world's biblical scholars agree that Talmudic law would have demanded Jesus as a prophet to have a job and a wife. I doubt he would have been married and remained a virgin his whole life lol. Yet even in light of these facts, many christians remain steadfast in their religion. And so what if they do? When they die, they'll know the truth, just like the rest of us.

There are many Christian denominations that pick up where the Pharisee's of Jesus day left off...not just the Catholics.  According to Paul's letter to the Galatians, legalism was already a problematic issue in his day.  Christianity is about faith in the Jesus Christ...a trust in His sacrificial atonement.  Unfortunately, many see Christianity as just another religion -- a set of "do this" and "don't do that" requirements for life.  While the Catholic Church has many things in its past that fostered/promoted legalism, there are many other Protestant Churches that get caught up in it too...

Consider this:\n\nAccording to Christians, before the crucifixion Jesus (as God) was:\n\nOmnipotent\nOmniscient\nOmnibenevolent\n\nAFTER the crucifixtion, Jesus remains:\n\nOmnipotent\nOmniscient\nOmnibenevolent\n\nSacrifice means to give something up.  As I see it, Jesus didn't give up a darn thing.  God (as Jesus or through Jesus) is EXACTLY the same as God was before the crucifixion.  Nope....no sacrifice there.

I like to give people hope that Jesus has freed them from sin and guilt and hell. I hate to see people suffering under what the church has taught for so long. \n\nThere is message about Jesus that I cannot keep inside.

Why did you add Jesus to the end? Curious.

He pulled away...there's the proof. I love having my feet tickled. Lots of guys do. \n\nAs far as Jesus and all that. It's a bit off topic...

Because not all Christians are wise people and allow themselves to be tickled easily.\nChristians that actually read and are spiritually involved are offended less easy and often simply don't reply.\nTo many people claim their Cristian without even having a clue of what they believe in.

Christans are OK with their own graven images. It's YOURS that they have a problem with... ;)

Jesus doesn't hate you and neither do l... I realize that there are many so-called Christians out there that would rather physically beat people down than prayerfully raise them up but don't tie a rope around all of us for the wrong they do... I speak for all real (Christ-like) Christians... God bless you...

Yes, i would wear a noose because it is a symbol of His sacrifice for us. Don't get me wrong , I understand your view. As a matter of fact, for the first 1000+ years, the Catholic church's only symbol for Jesus and Christ was a fish because they considered the cross an instrument of the devil. When crosses became extinct as a form of torture and death, the church reviewed the cross as a symbol and determined it was instead a symbol of God's love for us. Just like a gun becomes a symbol of peace and liberty when it is used on one's army.

It is not that the Bible forbade cremation as much as there as several references (in the Old Testament) to the phrase “bury the dead.”  Even the Catholic Church during the plagues would allow for the bodies of believers to be burned.\nSome people might interpret scriptures differently.

Crucifixion seems out of fashion lately.
