Difference between a Crucifix and a Cross

a crucifix is at the end of a chain of little beads, you can swing it around and whack someone in the face with jesus

An empty cross does not, necessarily, imply a resurrection. The cross was empty BEFORE the person was placed upon it, was it not?

The Christian cross, with impostor or without, is the dumb man's imitation of the world tree. That is some serious stuff now.

Down with European thought!!!

crucifixes are morbid,
jesus is not on the cross... hes in the kingdom

guess it's just what you are used to....i grew up seeing the crucifx every day. it did not hold a negative connotation to me at all.

but, if you are used to seeing the cross, i can see why a crucifix might be 'morbid' looking - whereas to me, because of my early conditioning, a cross looks like it's missing something :)

look into the celtic cross

It's nothing more than Astro-Theology. Google the word and see for yourself.

You tools think when "HE" comes back he is gonna wanna see another Cross / Crucifix ? Get over it.

The Bible says that Jesus was
shamed 1 time. Those that
keep Him on a Cross are
continuing to bring shame.

Look at the crucifix that
the popes carry around...
the bent cross.

I thought the orgiginal Greek word for Jesus' torture device was "stauros," which refers to an upright pole or stake, NOT a cross beam device.
Jesus wasn't really referred to being on a "cross" until after the 'Constantinization' of Christianity when Roman/Pagan religion was blended with Apostolic Christianty.

I hear the ring of truth in this.

Don't you though? The truth, yes.

"In the beginning, there was nothing. Then God said, "Let there be light". And there was still nothing but you could see it." Groucho Marx


"There is no greater drama in human record than the sight of a few Christians, scorned or oppressed by a succession of emperors, bearing all trials with a fierce tenacity, multiplying quietly, building order while their enemies generated chaos, fighting the sword with the word, brutality with hope, and at last defeating the strongest state that history has known. Caesar and Christ had met in the arena, and Christ had won." - Will Durant

EPISTLE OF CLEMENT TO THE CORINTHIANS (dated 95 A.D.)
He quotes from from the Synoptic Gospels, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, Titus, Hebrews, and 1 Peter

LETTERS OF IGNATIUS (dated A.D. 115) He quotes from from Matthew, John, Romans, 1 & 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus So much for your theory.
