I see gang bangers wearing crosses, I see evil, wicked people wearing crosses. I just don't get it. Are they making a mockery of Christ dying on the cross by doing this. What do you think? Why is the cross being worn for decorative purposes only by so many people.

What difference does it make who is wearing a cross? The cross is a pagan symbol that predates Christianity by thousands of years. No true Christian will wear a cross.

It's funny that you would ask this. I am most definately not evil but I AM an atheist, which, according to some Christians, has secured me a spot in the hottest corner of hell. As I type this, I am also wearing a crucifix, given to me by someone I love very much. He just happens to be a Christian. I wear the crucifix to honor him, not to make a mockery of his beliefs. Obviously, not all Christians are offended by non-Christians wearing this.

The greatest offense is "preachers" not proclaiming Jesus Christ and Him crucified (on the cross).
The cross has become a novelty,something to do.
Many Christians don't know what the cross truly means.
Jesus died for all sin on a cross.
The cross is our life.
The cross has been trivialized by many "Christians".
If a preacher does not proclaim the life, suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ every time he steps into the pulpit he should find a different job.

2 diverse questions right here: Does the go pendant signify sufficient symbolism to think of Christianity? Can the go pendant be woren without symbolizing something in specific? specific symbols, such with the aid of fact the go, are indelibly linked with Christianity, that's truthful to assert. So, donning the go pendant can in no way be taken as ornamental rings, even with the ornamental-purpose of many wearers who're no longer Christian.

No I'm not.Alot of people seem to be wearing a cross as more of a fashion statement.People have a right to dress the way they want.Its not my place to judge someone I don't know.

No, I'm not offended by much...
Perhaps you are seeing a belief that they have but are not in a place in their lives where they can actually acknowledge it.
You judge others too quickly. Don't worry though, it's seems to be a theme in those who have the audacity to declare others to be wicked.....

since all mortals consist of both good and evil what real difference does it make. there is an old Cherokee legend which states each of us has a wolf living inside of us. one represents good and the other evil. the wolf that is winning is the one which is fed the most. I need to take care of the log in my own eye before I concern myself with the splinter in my neighbor's eye.

the cross has no place in the bible.Jesus died on a torture stake( a straight tree).the cross originates with pagan meanings.few Christians care to know about where it came from,but you obviously are fascinated by its use,hence you will discover more information about this symbol of religious beliefs.

Then again, have you personally witnessed these people committing evil acts? For all we know, they could be newly saved and trying to reach out to those in the hostile environment around them.

They wear it just for decorative purposes and they don't probably know who Christ is, they could be an atheist... I feel for those people!!!
