A Catholic friend some time ago told me that another Christian(a
Protestant) argued with Him about having the image of Christ on the
cross in the Catholic churches. This Christian friend argued that
Christ to the Catholics is always seen as dead since they put the
image of Christ on their cross in the their churches.
To this story I asked my Catholic friend that would there be
church in heaven.
His answer came swift. Yes he told me there would definitely be
church in heaven.
Then I asked him: Do you think there would be a cross or any cross
inside that church in heaven?
To this he hesitated for some moment. Obviously I got him to
think and think he did. His answer came a while later. He said NO.
There would not be a cross inside the church in heaven.
Bingo. My friend is wise enough to tell that there would not be
a need for any cross to be present in the church in heaven. Simply
due to the fact that God is present in that church in heaven.
So I asked him if there would not be any cross in the church in
heaven why bother arguing about the image of Christ on the cross in
this world.
He replied back I never thought about that. That was good.
To this I gave him a smile.
Cheers.
