We are going to Q Park. Today is Holy Thursday. No work from here until Tuesday as we Catholics and Christians in the Philippines celebrate The Passion of Christ. It`s the most awaited season in the Christian world known as the Lenten season. This is a tradition dating way back 2000 years ago when Christ was crucified on the cross. He died & was resurrected on the 3rd day. This is proof Jesus of Nazareth is God. The dead one who came back to life. Impossible? Nothing is impossible with God.

Station of the Cross
Jesus never died on a cross , No witness seen a cross it is the wrong word in Greek .
Jesus did die but on a stake or pole .
What is the cross ? its a satanic symbul standing for the letter T for tumus . a man that crosses himself or carries a big cross around his neck is not on the right road .
In the prophets when it shows The men with their backs to the alter faceing the east and weeping for tumus It is fortelling the abomination Easter Sunrise services .

History shows that the cross was used centuries before Christ. For example, in the British Museum is a statue of the Assyrian king Samsi-Vul, son of Shalmaneser. Around his neck is an almost perfect Maltese cross. On an accompanying figure, that of Ashur-nasir-pal, is a similar cross.
The ancient Greek goddess Diana is pictured with a cross over her head, in much the same way the "Virgin Mary" is represented by many medieval artists. Bacchus, the Greek god of wine, is often pictured wearing a headdress adorned with crosses. Different types of crosses were used in Mexico centuries before the Spaniards arrived. The Egyptians used cross symbols in abundance, as did the Hindus.
The surprising thing is that the Christian use of the cross did not begin until the time of Constantine, three centuries after Christ. Archaeologists have not found any Christian use of the symbol before that time. According to one writer (W. E. Vine, Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, article "Cross"), the cross as a "Christian" symbol was taken directly from the pagans.
The New Testament does not specifically describe the instrument upon which Christ died, though Acts 5:30; 10:39; and 13:28-29 refer to it as a "tree." The Greek word xulon, translated "tree" in these verses, can mean a stick, club, tree, stake, or other wooden articles.
There is absolutely no evidence that God's true church ever used the cross symbol for any purpose. Nowhere does the Bible command its use. It surely would if God expected this of Christians

Does it matter if he was killed on a stake or a cross? Right or wrong, Christians have picked up the cross as their symbol. Rajakrsna's post was all about the resurrection. Now that's a subject worth arguing about!
