It doesn't to me. I was using your logic, such as it is.
The Iwo Jima statue is a memorial...Of something long past...
The Crucifix is a memorial...of something long past.
Those guys are NOT still hoisting the flag on the hill...
Christ is NOT still hanging on the Cross.
Then it's impossible for you to re present the actual sacrifice that He made...I'm glad you finally cleared that up...
Then why doesn’t your church take Him off of the cross?
