"Like a scarecrow in a melon patch..."

Pope Benedict XVI carrying a wooden cross.

Jeremiah 10:5...8
5 "Like a scarecrow in a melon patch,
their IDOLS cannot speak;
they must be carried
because they cannot walk.
Do not fear them;
they can do no harm
nor can they do any good....
8 They are all senseless and foolish;
they are taught by worthless wooden idols."

THE CROSS IS AN IDOL

Even those who make it, or have one lying around or in secret cannot receive any blessing from God. God said:

Deuteronomy 27:15
15 "Cursed is the man who carves an image or casts an idol—a thing detestable to the LORD, the work of the craftsman's hands—and sets it up in secret."

Initially, when I started attending the Church of God World Mission Society, I thought that it was strange that I did not see any stone statues or crosses. That is because the Church of God keeps God's commandments (Exodus 20:4-6) Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother The New Jerusalem continue to expose the lies that had been fed to Their children (Genesis 3:4-5).
