They are offended by the cross! So are Muslims, Mormons, Satanists, Witches and many other cults and occultists. JW's are taught that Jesus was nailed to a pole.  </div> <bR> <div> They also teach that Jesus was NOT raised in the FLESH, but that He was raised as a Spirit being. This is an intent to build a doctrine that supports an invisible return of Christ in 1914 to rule over the governmental agency called, the Watchtower Organization! This doctrine overrides the scriptures that say Jesus will be seen by every human being when He returns.</div> <bR> <div> <U>Matt. 24:30</U> (& Rev. 1:7) says that when Jesus returns to earth "-- <I>all the tribes of the</I> <I>earth...will </I><I><B><U>see</U></B></I><I> the Son of Man coming on the clouds...” </I></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Explination</U></B></div> <bR> <div> The cross is a symbol of VICTORY, not defeat! It is NOT a symbol of the weapon by which our savior was defeated, but rather a symbol of the weapon by which our savior defeated the enemy of our soul!</div> <bR> <div> Ephes. 2:16 </div> <div>     <I>And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by </I><I><B>the cross</B></I><I>, </I><I><B>having slain the enmity thereby</B></I><I>: </I></div> <bR> <div> But only those who are in Christ Jesus can receive this victory!</div> <bR> <div> 1 John 5:4 </div> <div>     <I>For whatsoever is born of God </I>(born again)<I> overcometh the world: and this is </I><I><B>the victory</B></I><I> that overcometh the world, even our faith. </I></div> <bR> <div> Why does the cross offend the Watchtower? Very simply put, the cross is a reminder of the victory by which Jesus suffered in his flesh in order to defeat the Devil. Everyone who displays this symbol, is reminding the devil of the victory by which Jesus conquered the powers of darkness. And the devil HATES it!</div> <bR> <div> Col. 2:14-15 </div> <div> <I>    Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, </I><I><B><U>nailing it to his cross</U></B></I><I>; [15] And having spoiled </I><I><B>principalities and powers (Spirits of darkness), he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it </B></I><B>(the cross)</B>. </div> <bR> <div> This symbol is an offense to those who refuse to bow their knee to Jesus, even as Satan refuses to bow HIS knee to the Lord Jesus Christ and worship him!</div> <bR> <div> Philip. 2:10 </div> <div>     <I>That at the name of </I><I><B>Jesus every knee should bow</B></I><I>, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; </I></div> <bR> <div> So the Watchtower, as rebels against God, refuse to bow the knee to Jesus, and thereby siding with the powers of darkness, they are repulsed by the symbol by which Satan was defeated 2000 years ago!</div> <bR> <div> Furthermore, this symbol represents the fact that those of us whom have surrendered our hearts to Jesus, have crucified ourselves with Christ and have received the Holy Spirit as a deposit guarantee of our inheritance in the Kingdom of God.</div> <bR> <div> Galatians 2:20 </div> <div>     <I>I am </I><I><B>crucified</B></I><I> with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. </I></div> <bR> <div> Galatians 5:24 </div> <div>     <I>And they that are Christ's have </I><I><B>crucified</B></I><I> the flesh with the affections and lusts. </I></div> <bR> <div> Galatians 6:14 </div> <div>     <I>But God forbid that I should glory, save in </I><I><B>the cross</B></I><I> of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is </I><I><B>crucified</B></I><I> unto me, and I unto the world. </I></div> <bR> <div> So then, the cross is an offense to those who are enemies of God. They refuse to meet God at the cross where he paid a price for us and refuse to join with Him at the cross where we are to die to our selfish, worldly lusts and choose to live for HIM.</div> <bR> <div> Philip. 3:18 </div> <div>     <I>(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are </I><I><B>the enemies of the cross</B></I><I> of Christ: </I></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>Definition</U></B></div> <bR> <div> The Gr. word for CROSS is <I>"Stauros” </I>and means a "pole or cross” </div> <bR> <div> Strong's Concordance defines the word as:   <B>stauros,</B>  <I>stow-ros'</I>; from the base of Greek 2476 (histemi); a <I>stake</I> or <I>post</I> (as <I>set</I> upright), i.e. (special) <B><U>a </U></B><I><B><U>pole</U></B></I><B><U> or </U></B><I><B><U>cross</U></B></I> (as an instrument of capital punishment); figurative <I>exposure to death</I>, i.e. <I>self-denial</I>; by implication the <I>atonement</I> of Christ :- <B>cross</B>.</div> <bR> <div> By definition, it can be either one! So the cross cannot be excluded by its definition.</div> <bR> <div> Nelson's Bible Dictionary says that Alexander the Great used the cross for crucifixion 300 years before Jesus Christ. This was a form of punishment prior to the days of Jesus Christ.</div> <bR> <div>  The word for TREE (Acts 5:30 & Gal. 3:13) is the Gr. word "<I>Xulon</I>” and it means "timber, wooden article, tree". This word does not have anything to do with the form of structure of the article, but rather the material of its construction. Jesus was nailed to wood! Crosses are made of wood!</div> <bR> <div> <B>NOTE:</B> The Watchtower Society claims in the <I>Kingdom Interlinear</I>, pages 1155 and 1156, that Jesus died on a torture stake not a cross. To support their case, they cite a reference to <I>Decruce Liber Primus</I> by the 16th century author, Justus Lipsius. Included with this reference is a copy of an etching from page 647 of <I>De Cruce Liber Primus</I> in which the torture stake is detailed with a victim suffering on it. But, at another point in the same work, Justus himself states explicitly that such a device was not used in the torture death of Jesus: on page 650, Lipsius pictures Jesus on a conventional 4 piece cross (vertical stake, foot board, cross bar, and sign). As evidence for his conclusion about the cross he cites various early church fathers who were aware of the Roman practices in Jerusalem during the era in which Christ died.</div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >For photos of the book by Justus Lipsius, go to</FONT> <A HREF="id66.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="The Cross or Stake?"><U>The Cross or Stake?</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>In Sect B the "BTD" says </U></B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#800080" FACE="Arial" ><B><U>"Displaying Jesus' stake a reproach"</U></B></FONT><B><U> and then reference Heb. 6:6 and Matt. 27:41,42</U></B><B>.</B> Neither scripture says anything of the sort.

This scripture is saying, for a believer to renounce Jesus Christ and “fall away” from the faith (apostatize), Jesus would have to come again and “REPURCHASE” this person from Satan by dying on the cross “AGAIN!”  Since this will never happen, the apostate Christian cannot be saved "again"!</div> <bR> <div> It is amazing to me how the Watchtower has turned this scripture into an understanding that “Displaying the cross is a reproach!” </div> <bR> <div>  The "BTD" even references this same scripture in 38. SALVATION Sect. C" saying "Repentance impossible for some" and then references <U>Heb. 6:4-6</U> which is the “proper” interpretation of this scripture.</div> <bR> <div> They also quote Matthew 27:41-42<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I>Likewise also the chief priests </I><I><B><U>mocking him</U></B></I><I>, with the scribes and elders, said, [42] He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. </I></div> <bR> <div> What this scripture has to do with displaying the cross, certainly passes over my head! If you will read it, it says nothing of the sort, but rather that they mocked Jesus as he hung on the cross!</div> <bR> <div> <I><U>'The message of the </U></I><I><B><U>cross</U></B></I><I><U> is foolishness </U></I><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#CC0000" FACE="Arial" ><I><U>to those who are perishing</U></I></FONT><I>, </I><I><U>but to us who are being saved </U></I><I><B><U>it is the POWER</U></B></I><I><U>  of God</U></I><I>.”   </I>1 Cor.  1:18</div> <bR> <div> Why do YOU suppose the message of the cross is foolishness to the Watchtower?!

The second part  “not still on stake<I> </I>(cross)" is true. The first part "Jesus a spirit" is a half truth.  A “half truth” is actually, a lie! </div> <bR> <div> In  <U>Luke 24:39-43</U> Jesus, after rising from the dead, said    "<I>see</I> <I>my hands and my feet, that it</I> <I>is myself;  feel me and see, because</I><I><B> </B></I><I><B><U>a spirit does not have FLESH and BONES </U></B></I><B><U>as you </U></B><I><B><U>behold I have.</U></B></I><I>” </I></div> <bR> <div> Then He eats food in front of them in verse 43.</div> <bR> <div> Jesus clearly declared that, after he rose from the dead, he had been resurrected in a FLESH and BONES body! Jesus made it a point of SHOWING them that he WAS NOT a SPIRIT, as the Watchtower declares!</div> <bR> <div> Yet, if you will notice in verse 31, Jesus is able to disappear even though he is in a FLESH AND BONES body (see also John 20:19,25-29 Jesus walks through closed doors in this body of flesh and bones) In Acts 1:11 Jesus ascends to heaven (still in the flesh) and the angels say He <I>"will return in like manner...”</I></div> <bR> <div> Does this prove that Jesus was NOT in a Flesh and Bones body? Or was his ability to pass through closed doors simply a miracle even as both Jesus and Peter walked on water in a human body, which we know is impossible in the natural! How about Elijah, who was taken into heaven in a chariot of fire, while still in his physical Fleshly body? Why does it seem to be impossible for the Watchtower to understand that God can make a physical (fleshly) body pass through closed doors!</div> <bR> <div> There is NO scripture saying that Jesus left His Flesh and Bones body on earth and went to heaven in the SPIRIT.</div> <bR> <div> But, I will go on to explain, the spirit of Christ indwells inside of the believer by the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit IS the Spirit of God, and the Spirit of Christ!</div> <bR> <div> Romans 8:9-10 </div> <div>     <I>But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the </I><I><B>Spirit of God</B></I><I> dwell in you. Now if any man have not the </I><I><B>Spirit of Christ</B></I><I>, he is none of his. [10] And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but </I><I><B>the Spirit is life</B></I><I> because of righteousness. </I></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <U>The first scripture they reference is 1 Peter 3:18 </U></div> <div>     </div> <div> <I>For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, </I><I><B><U>being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit</U></B></I><I>:</I><I><U> </U></I></div> <bR> <div> The word for “quickened” actually means, “to make alive.”  </div> <bR> <div> <B>zoopoieo,</B>  <I>dzo-op-oy-eh'-o</I>; from the same as Greek 2226 (zoon) and Greek 4160 (poieo); to (<I>re</I>-) <I>vitalize</I> (literal or figurative) :- <B><U>make alive</U></B>, give life, <B><U>quicken</U></B>.</div> <bR> <div> Whereas the Watchtower seems to imply that this verse is saying that Jesus was raised “AS” a Spirit being, they have failed to notice that it actually says that Jesus was raised “BY” the Spirit  “<I><B><U>but quickened </U></B></I><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><I><B><U>by</U></B></I></FONT><I><B><U> the Spirit”</U></B></I>  The correct interpretation is that the Spirit of God raised the “physical” body of Christ from the dead by giving it life! It does NOT say that Jesus was raised a Spirit being! </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <U>The other scripture they point to is 1 Tim 3:16</U> </div> <bR> <div>     <I>And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: </I><I><B><U>God was manifest in the flesh</U></B></I><I>,</I><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><I> </I><I><B><U>justified in the Spirit</U></B></I><I>,</I></FONT><I> seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. </I></div> <bR> <div> This verse says NOTHING about the type of body Jesus was raised in!
