Which of the christian denomination disregard cross.?

Answer 1

Well, none of the Christian denominations disregard the cross but several psuedo-Christian cults or groups hold it in disdain.

The Moonies or the Unification Church hold it in derision and have a campaign entitled trade your cross for a crown. The link is below.

The Jehovah's Witnesses also believe it is a disdainful instrument and even go as far as to deny Christ was tortured upon this instrument and say that he died rather on a torture stake or single pole. Though evidence abounds textually and historically that Christ was crucified.

Muslims also hold it in disdain and like the Jehovah's Witnesses deny Christ a great prophet for them was killed on a cross but in difference with the JW's their explanation is that rather a fascimile of Christ was crucified and the real escaped this death. Specifically the koran says this:

S-4-157,158: "We killed Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, the apostle of God. But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them. All those who differ therein are full of doubts with no certain knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for assuredly they killed him not. Nay, God raised him up unto himself, and God is exhaulted in power, wise."

Answer 2

Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses.

Mormons find the cross as an emblem unnecessary.

But by far the Jehovah's Witnesses are the most extreme as far as downright hatred for the emblem of the cross. They don't just stop at saying it's unnecessary or possibly not an accurate representation of Jesus' death stake - they view it with contempt. They call it a pagan symbol and a phallic symbol. Anyone who doesn't disdain it as they do is considered to be an "idol worshiper". I myself have never worn a cross, don't intend to, and I'm not sure if Jesus' death stake even was shaped like a cross - but I've been accused by them of sharing in "idolatry" because I don't exhibit hatred for it.

Gal 6:14 says that Paul would "glory" in the instrument of Jesus' death - Line Dancer above says to do so is to glorify a wrong deed.

Answer 3

All true Christians disregard the cross, which is a pagan symbol that predates Christianity by thousands of years.

Even if Jesus was killed on a cross, should it be venerated? No, for Jesus was executed as a criminal, like the men impaled alongside him, and his manner of death misrepresented him in the worst way. First-century Christians would not have viewed the instrument of his execution as sacred. Venerating it would have meant glorifying the wrong deed committed on it, the murder of Jesus.

If your dearest friend were executed on false charges, would you make an image of the instrument of execution (say a hangman’s noose or an electric chair or the rifle of a firing squad) and then kiss that replica, burn candles before it, or wear it around your neck as a sacred ornament? That would be unthinkable. So, too, with the adoration of the cross. The fact that the cross is of pagan origin only makes the matter worse.

Jehovah's Witnesses reject the cross.

Answer 4

Jehovah's Witnesses. I do not know of any others.

Jesus did not die on a cross. It is not right to venerate the instrument of anyone's torture and horrendous death, most certainly not that of the King of God's Kingdom. The cross is a pagan symbol, too.

Answer 5

Jehovah's Witnesses

Answer 6

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus was nailed to a simple upright torture stake not to a cross.

Answer 7

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I accept Jesus Christ as the savior and the Son of God.

While the cross signifies Christ's sacrifice, it also signifies his death. We don't have crosses on our church because we believe that Christ lives today, in all of us.

I don't think one can be considered a Christian or non-Christian just because they do/do not have a cross.
