christian jewelry cross

i was just wondering, jewelry such as necklaces and bracelets

Not necessarily. Some people wear them for aesthetic purposes.

The Beatitudes Cross is made with holy water from the River Jordan and earth from the Mount of Beatitudes where Jesus Christ performed his #39 ...

My perception is that the cross is worn to remember to terrible account of Jesus' death. If one wears say an elaborate diamond cross, or even a nice looking gold cross, does this not distract from the message? It seems that making a cross essentially look good, one is not only missing the point that the cross is supposed to represent something terrible, but also it is turning it into a piece of art or jewelry, where the owner or anyone looking at it is likely to admire the jewelry and not the message.

it just proves they haven't studied the bible

I thought Jesus was supposed to return one day - Is that really what he's going to want to look at all the time?

I wear a little electric chair around my neck.

I mean if Jesus would have died 30 years ago everyone would be wearing electric chair jewelry. Creepy. I understand what it symbolizes but why not a tomb? And why not the fish? Why are these symbols only used in certain areas and not others?

lol I guess the horizontal symbols go better with vehicles. Which leaves the vertical symbols for jewelry. Hell, I don't know. lmao

My brother wants to get a cross pendant on a necklace, but he's an atheist like me. He says its just a style thing. What say you?

Interesting... what kind of "sytle" is it that wants him to wear a cross, like freakazoid goth or something...

I'm prolly not the one to ask, since I dislike seeing it on ANYONE. It is a symbol of torture, not to mention a reminder of the slaughter of thousands of peaceful people, in the name of that symbol.

So, I equated this to the question, would I, as a pagan, consider it inappropriate for a non-pagan to wear a pentacle, just for show?

The answer is that it would bug me a little, since it is a special symbol for us, but it would make me hope that the wearer would be curious enough about paganism to find out more about it and possibly follow it as their spiritual path.

So, if THAT happened to a non-Christian, ie, the non-Christian cross wearer got curious about Christianity and decided to research it, and then decided to (perish the thought) convert.....

THEN I would find it objectionable. Wearing a symbol that ends up leading an innocent non-Christian into that religion would, to me, be horrible. Another mind wasted.

If the religion was Christianity.

Other than that, I would just think it would look silly for him to wear it. He is portraying himself as something he is not, and hopefully won't become.

How old is your brother? Is he so young that style is more important than substance? With all due respect, it sort of sounds like it.

My apologies if I have offended.
