Absolutely. The 2,000 yr old text says that all things are held together by God's Son, the one who died on the cross and His symbol is connecting every living thing on earth. It's pretty obvious it wasn't coincidental.
Where in that 2,000 yr old text does it say that the "cross" is his symbol?

Re: Pentagrams and pentagons
Nope. You're just stretching things like the others.
I'm stretching things? If I'm stretching things it's because I learned it from you, oh master of stretching things!

Re: Pentagrams and pentagons
None of this says that the cross is god's symbol.

Re: Not the symbol?
The word use in the bible is the Greek word "stauros" the Greek translation of the word in the forth and fifth centuries before Jesus means an upright stake.
The stauros of Christ is important in representing the sacrifice he made for our sins. But was it in the shape of a traditional Christian cross?
The traditional 'cross' was not even used as a Christian symbol until the second century. Why not?
Nowhere do I see god declare the 'cross' as a symbol that represents him.

Re: Pentagrams and pentagons
The cross is a picture of God's hatred for human sin in the first place.
Wait right there, I thought you said the cross is the symbol of God? God's signature so to speak.
Now you claim it's a picture of God's hatred for human sin?
