Is It Sacraligious For People To Wear Crosses For Fashion Such As Cross Pendants And Cross Tattoos?
My wife says that even though she's no longer a christian she finds that it's wrong for rappers to wear crosses when they don't fallow bible principals, I guess it's like a misrepresentation or something. But I was like "baby, rappers wear crosses and relate themselves as the theif who was on the cross next to Jesus" and then my wife had this to say "that person WAS a theif but he wasn't anymore right before he died because he repented and no longer condoned that life style, rappers are wearing crosses while they sin and do it intentionally, that is what's wrong with it and it offends me"
I'm a hardcore rapper, and I want a cross pendant too but I consider my wife's feelings about it. So I don't know... How do y'all feel about people who wear crosses for fashion, jewelery and/or tattoos?

Symbol are just that: symbols. Cross represents Christianity to many modern day western people because it reminds them of Jesus. However, if the the arm length is the same, it becomes a Greek Cross, which symbolize the four elements and four cardinal directions as a pre-Christian symbol. It was later associated with Christianity after Jesus died. Add a circle at the center of a Christian-style cross, and you get the Celtic cross, which have both Christianity and pre-Christianity meaning. If you have a equal-arm length cross in a circle, it have pagan meanings similar to the early Greek Cross.Cross was use as a symbol long before Jesus dead on a wooden cross. Cross in used Egypt, Buddhism, Hidduhism, Gnostics, Kabbalists… the list go on, many of which far before Jesus died – and I think they will probably be more justified in term being “offended” by “cross is Chirstianity only” since they actually use it first. I think isolating the cross as a Christian-only thing is like saying that only Christians do good works: it’s not only ignorant, but also discriminating. What can be more sinful than to use your religion, something so sacred and full of love, to exclude yourself as a “better person” and to create hatred in others and yourself?
No one can offend your wife; she is choosing to be offended.The cross has been used as a symbol by humans for much longer than Christianity has been around. Christians do not own that symbol.
Sinful rappers should be allowed to wear crosses and so should Pagans and Satanists and anyone else who chooses.
My husband wears a large Celtic cross tattoo. However, it is not for fashion. It is because he wants people to know he is a Christian. It is also an invitation for others to come to know Christ, as they watch my husband live.
I am not a Christian either, but I think it is stupid for celebrities to wear big huge crosses or tattoo themselves with crosses. Christians are not supposed to brag about their faith, they are supposed to be modest.
It is breaking the 3rd commandment, to take the Lord’s name in vain. Which is the pretense of christianity. http://www.bibleuniverse.com/home.aspx
I find it offensive when people wear crosses as a fashion statement only. If you are a Christian rapper, go ahead and wear a cross.
Well seeing how the cross isn’t strictly a Christian symbol, I don’t see how it is sacraligious.
love it!

You must not lay bare her nakedness. 8 “‘The nakedness of your father’s wife you must not lay bare.
