Is it wrong for Christians to use crosses? Well, that really depends on a couple of factors.
A lot of crosses out there, namely those used by Catholics, will often have an engraven image of
Jesus Christ on it. And so for Christians to use this would be a clear violation of Exodus 20 verse
4 and Deuteronomy 4 verse 16 where the Bible clearly condemns having an engraven image of
the Godhead made of wood or of stone. But some would argue, well, I don't have an engraven image
of Jesus on my cross. I just use it for decorative purposes around my neck or on the walls of my
home. And the question that I propose to them would be, well, do you ascribe any divine power
to that inanimate object? You see, a lot of people will use crosses around their neck because they
believe it gives them some sort of protection. They'll place it on the walls of their house
because they think it'll give them favor with God. And if that's the case, then yeah, it's bad
because at that point you're just being superstitious. Luke 9 23 says, if any man will
come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. This is obviously
a spiritual one, not a physical.
