Just why is that ???
or is this also a Robert Millet moment ???
***
First of all it was the Pagan Murder Constantine around 325 AD who was the first to use the physical symbol of the Cross NEVER before that time.
Secondly the reason is the LDS celebrate the living Christ that He the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ and that He lives. Jesus conquer all!
The Heavnely Father showed the Son Jesus Christ the way, and the only begotten Son Jesus Christ came to show Man the only way!
John 5
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
more false teaching, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are God, but three distinct persons, all equal. The Son is not subortinate to the Father. He did leave his glory in heaven, when He became man, but He never ceased being fully God. He did not become a “god”, read John 1.
“Christ came to show man the way” WRONG!! Christ is the way! He came for one reason only, to die on the cross as an atonement for sin. It is thru faith in that Sacrifice we are reconciled to the Father.
Thats all I asked...
Lets try this again...
Resty why are there no Crosses on mormon buildings ???
First of all it was the Pagan Murder Constantine around 325 AD who was the first to use the physical symbol of the Cross NEVER before that time.

Resty, honey, that is LDS propaganda, not real History.
We have evidence of the Cross being used as a Christian symbol as early as 80 AD. Read John Stott’s the Cross of Christ for even more evidence that the Cross was central to Christian symbolism prior to Constantine.
Remember, I’m a historian.
