"We don't use crosses. True.
The reasoning is this, if your friend is killed by a gun, do you take to wearing a gun around your neck?"
Is a church w/o a cross a church, or just another building?
Jesus was crucified on a cross and is our Saviour, not just a mere friend. Through His death on the cross we are saved. Knowing who Jesus is, is therefore very important. Many years ago I read Dr. Walter Martin's "Kingdom of the Cults". The chapter on Mormonism is very detailed with sources from the Mormon religion.
Thanks for the link.
Here's one for you:
http://www.waltermartin.org/mormon.html#mormconIs a church w/o a cross a church, or just another building?A church has nothing to do with what kind of place one worships in. A religion isn't defined by buildings.
A "church" ala "religion" can be practiced and taught and believed in regarless of where one is or worships.
For us, the #1 place for religion and "church" is in the home.
I don't have a big cross out front. Shoot me.
Its kind of like saying anyone who didn't hang an American flag out front isn't an American.
