Information AboutLatter-day Saints And The Cross |
|
While there are many theories as to why Latter-day Saints don't use the cross, the generally accepted reason was affirmed by Gordon B. Hinckley in 2005, who said, "the cross is the symbol of the dying Christ, while our message is that of a living Christ." In other words, Latter-day Saints see the cross as symbolically representing a Christ not still present in our world, whereas the Church sees Christ as still-living and interacting with the world through Latter-day Saint prophets, much as he had to prophets such as Moses and Abraham . |
