I am a Christian that is still learning. I have posed this question in several venues and have yet to receive an answer. Several places in the New Testament it is written that Jesus tells people to Take Up their Cross and to follow Him. I understand the Cross to be symbolic of Christ’s crucifixion thus symbolic of Christianity. Did the cross have a religious significance in the days of Jesus and if not, why would Jesus use the term “take up your cross”?

I challenge those claims, and invite everyone to read Acts 3 and see whether the following questions are too difficult.

I agree in general. The Bible was intended to be understood by the reader and was written with that in mind; it means what it says.

7. Is it possible to just "sit on the fence" and not make a decision either way about Jesus?

"Sitting on the fence" IS a decision -- to go to Hell.
