Yes, please use the Southern Baptist. The cross is a symbol of love and we do not worship it. One can shorten their life, I thought you said you knew scripture, I must be going deaf.
Or dumb, I've never met someone who could hear written words.
I'm not quoting scripture, I'm quoting you. You said you couldn't change your date of death because it was pre-ordained by God, now you're telling me you can shorten your life. Which is it you believe?
You put crosses in every church and every place you can then kneel and pray before them. Thats the definition of idolatry.
Also, this has already been said but its worth saying again, the cross was a device used to crucify people. Its sole purpose was to slowly kill people in the most painful way possible. The fact your Messiah was nailed to it should kind of drive this point home but then your melon like head is nothing if not impenetrable to information.
And no, the fact he supposedly forgave our sins nailed to it *still* doesn't make it a symbol of love in the same way that because Hitler gave some of his speeches on a balcony it doesn't make balconies a symbol of hate. Words uttered while placed on either do not for one second change their primary functions.
You are a hopeless , you think like a child, I'm not arguing with someone who doesn't know up from down or left from right.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
