God doesn't like the Cross - World Mission Society Church of God

If someone's parent were killed by the firearm accident, maybe their child don't like the gun.
Because, whenever the child look the gun, he can't help thinking that terrible accident.
He might be difficult to see the gun again.

2,000 years ago,  Jesus Christ had been crucified on the cross, for our sin.  This is the grim scene not to be remembered.
 In fact, the cross was just a wooden framwork to put to death in those days
Therefore,  there was no possibility that the cross would be used  as the symbol of church like these days.
The apostles of the early church don't want to make the symbol of church and there was no cross in the church for centuries after the time of Jesus.
Let's refer to a theological dictionary on this.
 "The public use of the corss was adopted by the Christians as a symbol at the time of Constantine.  For the early Christians, surrounded by crucifixion as a grim fact of common experience, there was no danger of beautifying the cross by sentiment." (Baker's Dictionary of Theology, p.152)

Imagine that your parent died on the cross.  Do you want to remember your parent while looking the cross daily??
NO!! Nobody do that!!

The cross is an idol which was introduced into the church as the church became secularized after Constantine, the Roman emperor, authorized Christianity in 313 A.D.
The cross has no power: like other idols, it is a man-make idol.
Jer 10:2-5  This is what the LORD says: "Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the sky, though the nations are terrified by them.  For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.  They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. Like a scarecrow in a melon patch, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk.  Do not fear them; they can do not harm nor can they do any good."

You can't find any cross in the World Mission Society Church of God. Cross-Reverence is Idolatry.
World Mission Society Church of God which was established by Christ Ahnsahnghong don't worship idols which was forbidden by God.
