I've never seen any Reformed church in anything close to resembling a crackden

*respectable*

Fixed it

Maybe I used hyperbole but you get the point

Meh, God doesn't instruct us to build great structures and fill it with symbols

I have disdain for the widespread usage of the crucifix in Catholicism as well

Why?

My dad pointed out that Christ is no longer on the cross because He ascended into Heaven

A cross is acceptable, but he disagrees with depicting Christ on the cross

What should be the symbol for Christianity then?

Just a normal cross

Without depicting Jesus as still being crucified

But Christ on a cross is deplorable?

It's just showing us how he suffered for us

I wouldn't say deplorable, but rather incorrect

It's a reminder

The cross is plenty of a reminder

Ok, Goodnight gentlemen

imo

👋

Goodnight Changlo

The entire point of the religion isn't that Jesus died and now he's in heaven. The entire point is he suffered on the Cross.

He was crucified, died and was buried. On the third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into Heaven

Thanks for letting me know

Well it's just pointing out that He's in heaven

it's not too big of a deal obviously

A cross without Jesus is the same as the cross with Jesus

Yeah it's not a big deal

But I guess it's important for Reformists to acknowledge that Christ isn't still on the cross, because of Him being resurrected and ascending into Heaven justified the sufficiency of His sacrifice

Anyways I'm not a good advocate for my religion, I'm not a theist

Fair enough

Actually I am a theist, I mean I'm not a scholar

The sucky thing is that my art school already accepted me so I can't get rejected and go that path...

My dad has studied Reformed doctrine, so I defer to his judgement on a lot of matters

Especially when I can back up what he's saying with scripture

That's good

Yeah

I got some invite to a fed honey pot discord

Oh well, idk wasn't tryna get that far into the crucifix

I'm new to catholicism so I have no one to revert to

They want to know my name and state I live in
