This is the same mindset that taunted Christ on the cross, saying that if he were the Son of God he would come down from the Cross and they would believe Him.

I agree with you for sure,Dear Kosta.

This is also why Our Lord called Saint Peter satan- because Peter did not wanting a suffering Christ.

The lesson learned is that denial of the suffering and humility of Christ is the essence of the demonic

It always bothered me when I attended protestant churches that Christ body was stripped from their crosses

The evidence is overwhelming.

It isn’t just the body of Christ that is removed from the cross, it is the body of Christ removed from their Lord’s Supper (the ones that bother to maintain some imitation of it), it is the religious icons and spiritual setting that are usually removed (except for some of the more conservative churches - I’ve been in some beautiful old Presbyterian, Anglican and Lutheran churches) and often even the altar is set aside to create a stage in which the players strut up and down and preen and shout or be a rock star.

Protestant prayer barns give one a different mindset than an iconic cathedral or basilica or even a humble yet iconic country church.

That’s because he’s not on the cross anymore. HE ROSE!
