    Someone told me Christians worship Jesus.

    Actually worshipping the cross would be considered idol worship putting a thing before Jesus. No other gods before me and whatnot. I’m not Christian so I won’t claim to know.

    It was also my understanding that Jesus suffered for humanities sins by bleeding from every pore in the garden of gethsemane. Is that different than salvation? Genuine question.

    I was told the cross was a symbol that represented the intersection of the divine with the physical world, since Jesus said “into your hands I commend my spirit” or whatever.

    Not an expert, just curious about the minor differences taught between the various Christian sects.

    I’m not from Reddit either but my brain is still rotten, sorry.
