The Early Church did not use the cross to symbolize Christianity and they did not believe that the cross held any power to drive out evil spirits. The saints of the Early Church did, however, repeatedly stress that idol worshipers would never be able to enter the kingdom of heaven. We need to judge for ourselves whether it is right to set up the cross, following the customs of men, or whether we should refrain from using the cross, in accordance with God’s teachings. God Ahnsahnghong commanded His people not to use or make idols, of any form.
Ex 20:4 " You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me...."
Lev. 26:1 "Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it."
Christ Ahnsahnghong let us know that the Bible clearly testifies that we can not have idols, because we make God jealous, we are committing a sin, and because of that God will punish us because we show God that we hate Him.
But how can we recognize that we have any idols? For example, at the moment that you take a picture, or a statue, or sacred stone and bow down to it, or worship it, then it becomes an idol.
But when you look at the world, what is the people doing without even knowing it.
Look at this people, what are they doing? Exactly the contrary to what God already said not to do.
Do you think that you can receive salvation?
Deut. 27:15 "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."Christ Ahnsahnghong shows us that from the Biblical point of view, sculpted images of Mary are idols. Whoever erects them, so that they may be worshipped, will be eternally cursed by God and will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jer 10:2 "Do not learn the ways of the nations....For the customs of the peoples are worthless;...They cut a tree out of the forest, a craftsman shapes it...They adorn it with silver and gold;.... Like a scarecrow in a melon patch,their idols cannot speak;
Now when you look at this picture, do you think that God is concern about the scarecrow?Of course, NOT! But look deeply into what a scarecrow looks like that is an idol in God's eyes.
Now a days many Catholics, who consider the cross to be an object of worship, and Protestants, who use the cross as a symbol of Christ, believe that the cross has been used since the days of the Early Church. However, there is no record of the cross being erected on the Early Church, or of such a pattern being made into an ornament. Through history we can find that the cross first appeared in a church or chamber in 431 A.D., and it was first erected on the top of a steeple in 586 A.D. Thus, veneration of the cross was only a religious custom that appeared after Christianity had begun to absorb paganism.
Christ Ahnsahnghong has already prophesied in the Bible that, after the crucifixion, the cross would be publicly used within churches through the history of the Israelites. At that time they were in the desert and bypassed the land of Edom. The people grew impatient along the way and spoke against God and against Moses. Then God’s wrath came upon them; He sent venomous snakes to bite the people of Israel, and many died. After hearing Moses’ prayer, however, God ordered him to make a bronze snake to deliver the Israelites.
Num. 21:8-9 "The LORD said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live." So Moses made bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived."
But, an the bronze snake itself had any power?
The answer is NO, because only God’s word allowed the Israelites to live: "Anyone who is bitten can look at it [the bronze snake] and live." However, at that moment they never understood about God's power, and the Israelites burned incense to the bronze snake up to the time of King Hezekiah, falsely believing that the bronze snake had saved them.
2 Kings 18:4 "He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called Nehushtan.)"
Christ Ahnsahnghong testifies that this history is a shadow and reveals the fulfillment of this prophecy.
John 3:14 "Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life."
Then, we can be saved only by the words of God "The precious blood of Christ is the only thing that can give you life." The Israelites burned incense to the bronze snake for almost a thousand years after Moses. This abominable act is a shadow, the reality of which is seen in all of the people who worship the cross, a mere instrument of capital punishment.
Also through the precious blood and body of Christ we receive redemption for the forgiveness(Ephesians 1:7) and not by a wooden idol (1Per 1:18). We can receive Jesus body and blood through the Passover (Matthew 26:17-28) of sins
Christ Ahnsahnghong teachings are without any fault. Christ Ahnsahnghong warn us not to have any kind of idols, neither physical nor spiritual idols. Only through the Passover we can be saved and protected from the last disasters. Please believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother, They are the Way to Eternal Life.

So, you say that I have been showing God that I hate Him all this time, because I have been carrying crosses and going to churches where crosses are placed. I am cursed by God. What can I do? Where can I go to receive the true blessings, please let me know.

This whole time I was showing God hate without even knowing it. I thought I could receive salvation through the cross and different images. Thanks be to Father Ahnsahnghong for revealing this truth to us. Because if God Ahnsahnghong had not come we would all be worshipping idols, something that God really hates and eventually not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
