Agreed. But also keep in mind that Christians kiss the cross and that isn't mentioned in the Bible. Interesting similarities, no?
Christians worship the place where Jesus Christ died (there is always Jesus Christ in the cross were you pray).
If your church has a cross without Jesus Christ you can ask your local priest to change the cross because that offended you.
The cross is to give faithful people a symbol to pray on: there is always Jesus Christ in the cross were you pray (is the same with paintings with Saints and so on...).
What is important is the reference figure (Jesus Christ) not the cross itself.
If your church has a cross without Jesus Christ you can ask your local priest to change the cross because that offended you.
Best regards.
Do you think a man (Jesus Christ) is equal to a thing (Black Stone)?
Speaking of entity relationship theory you can say that both are Entities but men has the property "Life" which things have not.
Does that makes you more happy?
Best regards.
