Why there is no a cross in church of God (WMSCOG) ?
Most people know the cross as a symbol of the church.
So many churches have crosses, and most people who believe in God carry cross-shaped necklaces or ornaments.
But nowhere in the Bible is there a record of making or setting up a cross as a symbol of the church.
It's just written, "Don't make any shape."
Exodus 20:4
“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
It says, "Don't make any shape."
Wouldn't any figure include a cross?
" No "
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that it's okay to make the shape exceptional.
Exodus 20:23
Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.
He said that even if it is to serve God, you should not make a figure.
Should we build a cross even though the Bible says not to build it?
So the church of God (WMSCOG) doesn't build a cross.
No matter how hard you believe in God, if you make a cross or idolize it, you disobey God's word that prohibits idol worship.
And we must not make and serve not only the cross but also any figures to serve God.
This is so much true. God clearly commanded not to make anything to represent God. Instead, He told the Israelites to obey his command. Always He communicated with them with voice and words, not with any form. For this reason, He always taught them to obey and keep his command. Let us follow the command of God as it is recorded in the bible. In that way we can be blessed by God. We should not depend on any lifeless object made of wood or metal. They are just a piece of wood or metal, no more than that.
In faith in God, making the shape of the cross itself is an act of disobeying the word of God, who said not to make any shape. The cross originated from the idolatrous thought of the Gentiles who worshiped foreign gods, and the cross itself is an idol. Therefore, in the Church of God, the church of truth established by God, there is no idol, the cross.
God had already predicted through the incident of the brass snake in the Old Testament that cross idolatry would appear.
The cross is not a symbol of the church. The act of making and worshiping a cross is an act of defying God's will to not worship idols.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say to serve with the cross as a symbol of the church.
The introduction of the cross into the church began with the fall of the Roman church.
Cross was introduced into churches and offices in AD 431 and mounted on church towers from around AD 568.
In this way, even in the early church, if the cross was not erected or served, we can confirm it.
The Church of God does not worship or erect the cross.
You can't find the cross in WMSCOG because it's the only church that's following the teachings of the Bible. The teachings of the Bible prove that the act of worship of the cross is an act of idolatry without exception.
