The Preaching Of The Cross

(Ethiopian Cross)

 

 

For the preaching of the Cross is unto they that perish foolishness, but unto us that are saved it is the power of God...for that reason we now say, In the Name of the father, Son and Holy One of Creation, as it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end, world without end. Selah.
(Introduction to the Lord's Prayer as practised in The Twelve Tribes of Israel)

 

Is The Cross A True Symbol Of Christianity?

Like most Christians, I always believed the 'cross' was a true symbol of Christianity. But is it? You might be able to answer this question for yourself after reading the rest of this topic! Like most Christians who later reject the cross after discovering its connection to the Roman Catholic Church, it was when I first discovered that the Roman Catholic Church was the Apostate church that I too rejected it as a Christian symbol. In fact, again, like most, it was at this point that I started rejecting anything at all to do with the Roman Catholic Church and the churches of the world! But later I discovered I was being foolish!

I began learning that these sort of actions - rejecting what could be God's Truth just because other Christian denominations turned apostate and fell into pagenism embraced it - were immature and were causing more confusion than the Church of Rome had itself! I learned from reading the Kebra Negast that the Cross (not crucifix) was indeed a Christian symbol, and a significantly important one at that!

The Cross represents the four points of the compass, which symbolises the four different speres of earth, which Christ conquered by His blood, and can be seen symbolised in many different instances and arrangements within the religious framwork of both the Old and New Tesmaments. The Kebra Negast explains, for example, that there is a 'crown' on the Ark of the Covenant. When the priest sprinkled the blood on the mercy seat of the Ark, or when he made a ‘wave’ offering unto the Lord, it was done in a 'cross' action - symbolising the manner in which Christ would be nailed to His cross!
