Not all of these people proclaim that Christ has risen. Why not work on an idea of how to change this. As an example: Maybe a stemmed white Lily or Rose could be mounted on to the cross. Well there is my contribution and I am ready to hear yours. Yeshua/Jesus Christ Has Risen! :t: :t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LCPGUY Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Because Snow, eventually they would defile that too. I asked a girl a while back why she wore a cross if she wasn't a Christian. She replied that the cross was just jewelry and didn't mean ANYTHING other than decoration. Sad isn't it??? Love, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She conveyed this to the salesperson, who then replied "Do you want a plain one or the kind with the little man hanging on it?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Praise The Ancient Of Days I'm right there with you - Adstar bro. I've heard it said many times that they wear the cross for a good witness. The BEST way to witness is to show the love of Jesus through your actions. Also to JP1 who said As a reminder that Jesus Christ died an agonizingly painful death FOR ME! I dont think I want to remember the suffering that I made him suffer through for ME. I am so thankful for Christs sacrafice - but it saddens be that we as humans as a whole can do such a terrible thing to such a loving and caring person. I know it had to be done - but I'm just saying, the fact that we could do this to someone - anyone - completely and utterly makes me sick ot my stomache. It is, on the other hand, very important to know about. But I still feel that I don't want to remember the pain that I put my savior through!

hippo's hope is HIM Posted March 3, 2004 Group: Diamond Member Followers: 2 Topic Count: 111 Topics Per Day: 0.02 Content Count: 775 Content Per Day: 0.10 Reputation: 21 Days Won: 0 Joined: 02/18/2004 Status: Offline Birthday: 11/12/1987 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I used to wear Cross neckalces, to try and remind myself who I am representing..who I am supposed to examplify... they all broke!!! So I took that as a sign that I wasn't doing a good job of showing others Christ and therefore shouldn't turn them off by a symbol. The Lord, has a lot of work to do in me :x: .....I wish I could show His love through me...I desire to lead people to Him, but if I can't change myself, then how can I expect others too?
