In other words, you have no idea why some Protestants reject crosses...
Most Protestant churches do display a Cross...An empty cross...Because Jesus is NOT on a cross...He is risen...
That's the power of God...
Some Protestant churches do not display a cross...They rightly believe that the cross was a shame...It was a curse...It was humiliation...
And yet they all preach the Cross of Christ...
No Protestant I have EVER heard of claimed Jesus was weak...
Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Col 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
After all, doesn't Paul say, "We preach Christ taken down off the cross, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks ...".
Oh, wait, no, I guess he doesn't.
I'm glad my faith isn't ashamed of the Cross of Christ.
I'm afraid we're not communicating. I never said nor thought that any Protestants think Jesus is weak. But one of the contenders here said that Jesus on the cross is "feckless".
It is BECAUSE the cross is shame, curse, and humiliation that it is also the locus of unimaginable power, and what appears to the unredeemed or thoughtless eye to be "feckless" is, in truth, Truth and Life grappling with lies and death, and winning.
It was not I that said the crucified Christ was feckless, and the one who did said that that was why Protestants don't generally use crucifixes. I may not understand the reasons of each Protestant for not using a crucifix, but I just gave the reason one Protestant gave me. It is possible that not all Protestants reject crucifixes for the reason that you do.
