The Roman Catholic Church~ Questions

[yanong_banikanhon]

Let's start with how "pagpanguros" started. It started way back fourth century, when pagan Emperor Constantine became a convert to apostate Christianity and promoted the cross as its symbol. Whatever his reasons, it has nothing to do with Jesus Christ. Logic will tell that what was promoted as a symbol of Christianity was in fact pagan in origin.

Koreksyon lang gamay, bay cliff_drew. Wala pa matawo si Constantine, nag-exist na ang pagpanguros.

Matud sa Jewish Enclopedia:

The cross as a Christian symbol or "seal" came into use at least as early as the second century (see "Apost. Const." iii. 17; Epistle of Barnabas, xi.-xii.; Justin, "Apologia," i. 55-60; "Dial. cum Tryph." 85-97); and the marking of a cross upon the forehead and the chest was regarded as a talisman against the powers of demons (Tertullian, "De Corona," iii.; Cyprian, "Testimonies," xi. 21-22; Lactantius, "Divinæ Institutiones," iv. 27, and elsewhere). Accordingly the Christian Fathers had to defend themselves, as early as the second century, against the charge of being worshipers of the cross, as may be learned from Tertullian, "Apologia," xii., xvii., and Minucius Felix, "Octavius," xxix. Christians used to swear by the power of the cross.

Matud pud ni Tertullian (circa 160 A.D.) sa iyang sinulat nga libro nga De cor. Mil., iii:

in all our coming in and going out, in putting of our shoes, at the bath, at the table, in lighting our candles, in lying down, in sitting down, whatever employment occupieth us, we mark our foreheads with the sign of the cross

So kung sayop ang pagpanguros, nganong gi-defend man sa mga early christian believers ang maong practice?

[yanong_banikanhon]

(2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Exodus 20:4, 5; 1 Corinthians 10:14)

basa lang. wala lagi ng pulong pagpanguros sa bibliya. buhat sad ka'g imo da.

So wala kay makit-an sa bible nga gidili ang sign of the cross?

[yanong_banikanhon]

So natubag na siguro ang pangutana bahin sa cross. Karon kun dili pa gyud mo motuo, dili pud ta angay mamugos. Respeto lang ta sa nagkalahi-lahi nga pagtoo.

Sayang lang ang atong pagka-attend2x og worship kada sunday unya kusog kaayo ta manghimantay sa pagtoo sa atong isigkatawo.

@shinobi: GOD is the infinite source of LOVE and at the same time, the infinite source of JUSTICE. Considering nga finite lang ang kahibalo sa tawo, murag lisud gyud ni tubagon ang imong pangutana. Ang DIOS ra gyud makatubag ana.
