WHAT IS THE “CROSS”?

A Pagan Symbol, Syncretic Deception, and Idolatrous Substitute for the Tree

We proclaim with resolute conviction that the “cross” is a deceptive symbol, wholly alien to the Qodash truth of YAHUSHA’s impalement on the tree. This scroll unveils the cross as a pagan fabrication, devised by the adversary to lead Yashar’al (Upright of AL) astray from their B’rit with YaHU’aH Exodus 19:5–6. The call is to honor YAHUSHA’s sacrifice on the tree, the only path to Shalum. Revering the cross draws Yahudyim (Covenant People) into Babylonian idolatry, forsaking the Torah and YaHU’aH’s Qodash Name Jeremiah 31:32.
