is it wrong to wear a cross as a non christian?
>>18522808If you want to wear a cross you’re a Christian without knowing.
It's never wrong to wear a cross. In fact it may just save your life.
>>18522832Not true, i wear one because it is aesthetic
>>18522845You don’t understand the subtle power of symbols.
wear an upside down cross if it bothers you that much
>>18522845>it is aesthetic?
>>18522808“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”Galatians 6:7 NKJV
>>18522853why would i wear st. peter's cross?
>>18522808you could wear a star of david instead
>>18522808maybe you struggle with belief. Maybe you believe, but know you're a lousy christian. Maybe you don't believe, but respect the value system the faith puts forth. Maybe you don't believe, but deep down, you want to. Maybe you don't care as much about the faith itself, but know it's a prominent symbol of the west, and you love the west.there are many reasons to want to wear the cross that Christ burdened.
>>18522977i think it look cool <.<
>>18522808>is it wrong to be a poser?yesalwaysjust be a Christianits so easy
>>18522808>>18523085Can't you see that social media brainwashed you? Are you really this dense?
>>18522808Yes, it's tacky and disrespectful
>>18522845>>18523085Based keep wearing it
>>18522808it's affraid, put the cross on.!
>>18522808I'm a Christian I still don't wear a cross. We honor God through our spirit and actions, not our clothing.
I grew up in the church but am not religious now. I wear a cross because I like the symbolism. No one ever asks me about it, and I don't owe anyone an explanation anyway.
my jewish ex gf wears cross earrings idk looks pretty cool to me i like the vibe
>>18522808If non-Christians are allowed to wear crosses for effay reasons, then I should be allowed to wear a star of david for better financial opportunities and a muslim crescent for free kebabs from the halal cart
>>18523807Im jewish and i wear a larger muslim style skullcap to go to the halal cart for bigger plates. I even say Shalom to them and all versions of semetic common phrases in the hebrew version. Yesterday i even straight up told the guy who was listening to some quran verse about the children of Israel that “ani b’nai Israil,” (i am of the children of Israel) and quoted another Quran verse to him saying “ya qawmi oodhkhulu al arda al muqadasata” (oh my children enter into the holy land) to which he replies “Inshallah brother, one day!” Muslims are fucking retarded
>>18522808lol 90% of Christians don't know anything about their religion so you're fine if you wear one while never having stepped foot in a church or reading the bible, you'll fit right in.
>>18523946you all worship the same god, stop being stupid.
>>18523951The muslims deny that Yahu is God.
>>18523951you need to do a bit more reading friend.
>>18523954They think he's just a prophet and not the son of god, but all three Abrahamic religions worship the same capital G god.
>>18523955Shut up, you're all stupid. "You worship the wrong prophet!" "No you worship the wrong prophet!"
>>18523961come on anon stopen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_in_Islam
>>18522808It's not a fashion accessory
>>18523960I'm [18] and this is deep
>>18524065Says the retard that believes there's a giant imaginary man in the sky that controls your life. Get a grip.
>>18524256You a deist then? Or FULL full retard?
>>18524256Typa nigga to go to the kinoplex and whisper to everyone around him that the explosions and fighting aren’t real
>>18524256>what are metaphysics?literally no one but boomers believe that
>>18522854it's a cool symbol, torture device used to kill a prophetbrutal and bleak, what a cool necklace
>>18522808Would you wear a Kippah if you're not Jewish?Would you wear a Kufi if you're not african?
>>18523521Which Symbolism? Christian Symbolism?Based retard
>>18524535Symbolism of the cross, specifically, though I do appreciate some other Christian symbolism. Aside from standard explanations, I interpret the cross as a symbol of the transformation of suffering into hope as well as the overcoming of fears to accomplish one's purpose. Similarly to the way Christ is described in the Bible, I want to be a man of conviction who is willing to set aside my fears and fleeting desires to achieve what I set out to do in life. That's what I think of when I touch the cross I wear despite the fact that I'm no longer a Christian.
>>18523957I have never seen a Muslim say their God is Yahweh. Even in English they insist on Allah, who was originally part of an Arabic polytheistic faith.
>>18524779Really? All the ones I have ever encountered insist on worshipping the old testament God.
>>18523957They dont worship the same God really. When a muslim and a jew denies that God is triune then it's a completely different entity
>>18524789They all worship the same god and spawn from the same prophet Abraham, stop falling for the slop religious and government leaders tell you all to keep you fighting each other while they steal your money, steal your land, fuck your children, and hoard natural resources.
>>18524789I never got this. If it is supposedly such an integral part of the religion then it would be something inherently apparent from the very beginning and not something that had to be settled in theological debate. I think that's stupid.
>>18522808just rock a silver chain instead if thats what you are going for
>>18522808It's not wrong, but why would you wear something that doesn't represent you?
>>18523957if they deny the trinity then it is not the same god. muslims worship a demon
>>18524256>giant imaginary man in the skyoh hey I thought all the r/atheism guys with a high-school-tier understanding of Christianity had killed themselves. though I guess some must have trooned out instead
No, but people will think you're a Christian.
Rate this cross.
>>18522808you could wear a swastika, it's a classic symbol used by many cultures
>>18524783The old testament God is the trinity. Abraham saw a Christophany. Nobody saw the father, except through Christ, as the father has no image in himself, he only has an image in as much Christ is his image. The Muslims do not worship the same God.
>>18524817Abraham saw Christ. The Muslims do not have the same God.
>>18524823Islam didn't exist right after Christ's death and Judaism was in its mid-life crises stage after the destruction of the temple. You aren't well-informed. Read "A Dialogue with Trypho". Christians have believed in this for a long time.
>>18524823It didn't "have to be settled." It was already understood by devout followers, but misunderstandings arose and had to be addressed. Surprisingly, new generations keep being born and keep confronting the same challenges over and over again, thus the same misunderstandings persist to this day. Thus, we point to ecumenical councils not as origins of belief, but as explanations of belief, because they were effective in their day at debunking common misconceptions about the faith, and they continue to be so today.
