I do not think it is right, though.

It is idolatry.

Yes. It's ok. Wearing Cross is a timely reminder that Christ is near and to keep attuned with Prayer.

Are you implying that without wearing the cross, you won't remember the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on behalf of sinful mankind?


Exodus 20:4-5 says in part,

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,

The Hebrew Scrolls are SIGNS, SYMBOLS & IMAGES.

No they shouldn't. Reasons are
1.Jewelry was cursed during the time Yahweh took the Israelites from Egypt to the promise land
2.The cross symbolize suffering

SHALOM!

Is it okay for people to say that it is NOT okay?

. MATTHEW 12:1-14.

AT that time Jesus went on the Sabbath Day through the corn;
and his Disciples were an hungred,
and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
2. But when the Pharisees saw it,
they said unto him,

“Behold, thy Disciples do that
which is not Lawful to do upon the Sabbath Day.”

3. But he said unto them,

“Have ye not read what David did,
when he was an hungred,
and they that were with him;
4. “How he entered into the house of God,
and did eat the shewbread,
which was not Lawful for him to eat,
neither for them which were with him,
but only for the Priests?

5. “Or have ye not read in The Law,
how that on the Sabbath Days
the priests in the Temple
Profane the Sabbath,
and are blameless?

6. “But I say unto you,

'THAT IN THIS PLACE
IS ONE GREATER
THAN THE TEMPLE.'

7. “But if ye had known what this meaneth,

'I WILL HAVE MERCY,
AND NOT SACRIFICE,'

ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8. For The Son of Man is Lord
even of The Sabbath Day.”

9. And when he was departed thence,
he went into their synagogue:
10. And, behold,
there was a man which had
his hand withered.
And they asked him, saying,

"Is it Lawful to Heal on the Sabbath Days?"

that they might accuse him.
11. And he said unto them,

"What man shall there be among you,
that shall have one sheep,
and if it fall into a pit on the Sabbath Day,
will he not lay hold on it,
and lift it out?
12. "How much then is a man
better than a sheep?
Wherefore it is Lawful
to do Well on the Sabbath Days."

13. Then saith he to the man,

"Stretch forth thine hand."

And he stretched it forth;
and it was restored whole,
like as the other.
14. Then the Pharisees went out,
and held a council against him,

WORKING ON THE SABBATH DAY WAS NOT SOME "MINOR MISDEMEANOR:"

"Ha, ha! We caught ya'! Oya- pay ONE PENNY Fine!"

THEY SERIOUSLY WANTED TO KILL LORD YAHSHUA AND HIS DISCIPLES!

Someone is wearing a CRUCIFIX to identify with Christianity.

Who would be offended by that?

[color=silver]. DEUTERONOMY 6:4-9.

4. Hear, O Israel:
The LORD our God is one LORD:
5. And thou shalt love The LORD thy God
with all thine Heart,
and with all thy Soul,
and with all thy Might.
6. And these Words,
which I Command thee this Day,
shall be in thine heart:
7. And thou shalt teach Them diligently
unto thy Children,
and shalt talk of Them
when thou sittest in thine house,
and when thou walkest by the way,
and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up.
8. And thou shalt bind them
for a sign upon thine hand,
and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes.
9. And thou shalt write them
upon the posts of thy house,
and on thy gates.

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO WEAR SCRIPTURES AS "DECORATIONS."

Nobody is TALKING about that.

The Singer MADONNA was DESECRATING this Scriptural Injunction in that her "DIE ANOTHER DAY" video.

It also featured more seriously in the rare Spiritual Thriller "PI."
