Cross as a Symbol of Faith
Anything can be used to symbolize one's belief in Christ. The use of the cross in terms of demonstrating one's faith is legitimate as individuals.
My comments were not directed to individuals, however, but rather to churches as a whole who have chosen to use the cross publicly to demonstrate their belief in Christ, such as the majority of "mainstream" Christianity. I pointed out the historical background of the use of the cross and simply pointed out that the cross had historical and not scriptural roots. Should one choose to wear a cross, as I have seen many Mormons do, to symbolize their belief in Christ there is no sin being committed there. No harm no foul.
