We do not wear Crosses because to do so would be to celebrate the murder weapon that killed Jesus.

So because the apostle Paul "gloried" in the cross..."boasted" in the cross (Galatians 6:14)...you are accusing him of celebrating the murder weapon that killed Jesus?

Really? Are you consistent with that? If you get to heaven, will you lodge that accusation directly to the apostle Paul's face?

Here's the verse:

14But God forbid that I should GLORY, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (Apostle Paul, Galatians 6:14, KJV)

Same verse, NIV version: May I never BOAST EXCEPT except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

My uncle the bishop and my aunt who can trace her family to Joseph Smith both said they do not display crosses or wear them because it was decided about 1875 (by the 12 I guess), that mormons did not want to be identified as Christians, so the cross was removed from all “wards” and homes.

Interesting here at “ask a mormon” what they say about the cross or lack of the cross.
