Not many Christians bother to know about how the cross came about, nor have attempted to investigate the actual significance of the cross. The use of the cross in Christianity has often been based on tradition, heavily sourced with a high degree of unsubstantiated beliefs. This has tended to elevate the cross/crucifix to a mystical proportion, well beyond any other object that can be even more concretely associated with Christianity. The fact that the cross has been increasingly popularized by orthodox Christian circles, and its use handed down several generations, has encouraged and added impetus to its credibility as a veritable object of worship, satisfying a supposed injunction to physically carry it about. However in all these, we find a superabundant disinclination to scriptural recourse and erroneous conclusion. Heb 6:4-6 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, ... 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. They crucify the Son of God afresh... (They) ...put Him to an open shame. We find from these extract that one can crucify our Lord again and also put Him to an open shame again, metaphorically, yet carrying the same weight as the reality. This further buttresses the fact that signs/symbols and the reality they represent are one and the same thing. Thus those who wear the cross and especially the crucifix are replaying Golgotha. This is what Paul condemns in the Book of Hebrews, and stipulate the ultimate punishment of condemnation forever. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened ...If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; SEEING THEY CRUCIFY TO THEMSELVES THE SON OF GOD AFRESH, AND PUT HIM TO AN OPEN SHAME. Taking the most essential words from the extract, we appreciate the fact that those who are simulating Golgotha whether through the cross or crucifix are not doing any good whatsoever, but advertising the shame our Lord Jesus Christ underwent, and this shame is not what the Father wants - The Father condemns it in totality. Thus cross wearing and crucifix wearing Christian is sinning against the Lord God. He/she will certainly incur the wrath of the Father. This is evidently because they are exposing God again to an open shame, as if the first was insufficient. Our Lord attempted to shy away from the cross. ... He would have disobeyed the Father, if it were possible. He only submitted with difficulty, yet He complained about the burden. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, ... and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. He went away again THE SECOND TIME, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. Peter never loved the cross. In fact our Lord Jesus Christ Himself informs us that Peter was reluctant as well to die on the cross. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. So we understand from the statement, carry thee whither thou wouldest not, to mean that Peter´s death on the cross did not excite him. He was also reluctant to face the cross. The Apostles generally also ran away from the threat of the cross (persecution) when it hit Jerusalem. And at that time there was A GREAT PERSECUTION AGAINST THE CHURCH which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria. Even Paul the great dare-Devil evangelist ran from the cross through a basket when the Governor of Damascus attempted to arrest him for possible execution. So we see that our Lord Jesus Christ and the disciples hated the cross, but the modern Christian loves the cross.
