Re: Is it ok to wear a Crucifix necklace?

Read the rest of the "graven images" part of the First Commandment. It goes on to say that they are not to be made for you to worship them. As long as the images are not worshipped, it's OK to make them (And we don't worship the crucifix, but Jesus-who is represented)

Perhaps, but you can't deny the Catholic church places a statue of Jesus up on the altar like it was an idol being worshiped. This is the whole point, God judges on appearances as well as intentions. Remember God struck Sara barren for incest because Abraham claimed Sarah was Abraham's sister.

Not to mention Balaam getting his butt kicked by the talking jack-ass for idolatry with that whole Balac and refusal to curse the joos. Catlick's most assuredly DO worship statues and jewelry. They worship Mary as well AND make hors d'oeurves of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What a reprobate bunch of queers.

Re: Is it ok to wear a Crucifix necklace?

I think the question lies not with the necklace, but with the person who is wearing it. Some people feel the need to advertise their Christianity, to put their Christianity on display. To them, it's like they wear their crucifixes like a badge of honor, saying, "Look at me, I love Jesus!" They somehow have to enforce within themselves their belief in Jesus Christ with a trinket. These people are false Christians, I believe; True Christians are so filled to the brim with the spirit of Christ that they exude the essence of what a good Christian really is.

A dab of Right-Guard in each armpit will take care of that.

As a preview of what the vicar of Rome will suffer in the pits of brimstone, I think these are (a) wonderful (b) educational and (c ) not graven. (Personally I'd prefer something that burned to death in say, 5 seconds; perhaps they'll produce that model?)
