Wearing Cross Idols
Q: I was reading about the deaf woman and idolatry, when she was asked to remove the cross on a chain around her neck. Is it wrong to wear a cross? What about T-shirts displaying belief in Jesus? Is it not the same as wearing a cross around your neck? Pamilla
A: Anything that a person regards between themselves and God can become an idol. The Lord certainly insisted that the deaf woman repent of idolatry by removing the cross and chain around her neck. After she complied, He healed her instantly right in front of me. When she replaced the cross the next day, her deafness returned. Read the full account to find out what happened next.
