Why do Christians love the cross?
2017-05-20 1:52 am
There is absolutely no difference between the cross and say, the electric chair or a gas chamber. The cross was simply a way to carry out a death sentence by the romans. Millions died on the cross. It would be like having a necklace with an electric chair pendant, it would be weird, but it's alright if it's a cross?

True a Christian don't.
Exodus 20:4
4 “You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form* like anything that is in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth.+

The fact of the matter, the cross was a demonstration of how God suffered from before the foundation of the world, for his elect, also the cross gave Satan a death blow and bound and chained Satan for 1000 years but the 1000 years is up and now Satan is loosed out of the bottomless pit, prowling around like a roaring lion, seeking to destroy everything that the Lord Jesus Christ has created from before the foundation of the world, because Satan knows that he only has a little season until the Lord Jesus Christ comes back to judge the living and the dead and too destroy the heaven and the earth by fire, the second death, where the heaven and the earth shall be burned up, by the hell fires. Read Revelation 17:5 read Revelation 18:4 read 2 Thessalonians 1:2-4 read Matthew 24:15-16 read 1 Peter 4:17 read Amos 8:11 read Galatians 5:17-23

Because to them it's a reminder of the price that was paid on their behalf...of the sacrifice that Jesus made for them. When they wear the cross it helps remind them of this and to be mindful of whose they are. Also, it can stand as an outward profession of their faith to those around them...as a witness of their faith.
C'mon...I'm an atheist and this is obvious to me. Why ask such a weird question when you know full well the symbol is more than a mere execution device. smh

We love it because of the work He did for us on that Cross !!

Sorry but there is plenty of difference. No one died for the sins of mankind upon the electric chair or at the gallows. The cross was the form our savior took to end His Earthly life. Grow up.

The explanation is John 3:14. It symbolizes Christ's sacrifice so God (his father) would let people who worshiped him to go to heaven up in the sky. Now it all makes perfect sense, yes? (kidding.)

The founder of Christianity was executed on a cross, and we regard that as an important incident in his story, so we commemorate it. If a religion were centered on someone who died by guillotine or electric chair, we might expect its devotees to treat those instruments similarly. (Fritz Leiber, in the story "Lean Times in Lankhmar," depicted such a religion--in that case, using the torture instrument known as the rack as its symbol.)
But different meanings creep in, depending on differences in the symbols, too. In Christian tradition, the cross depicted with Jesus on it represents his crucifixion, but an empty cross is traditionally a symbol for the resurrection.

There is a difference between an execution of a mere man and the execution of a man who is considered the Savior. To Catholics, the cross is a reminder of the suffering that Jesus willingly took. To Protestants, the cross is a means by which Jesus triumphantly cleansed our sins.

For the supremely obvious reason that it's the method of execution by which Jesus supposedly died.
I'm an atheist, and I'm amazed you're even asking the question.
