Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Crucifix. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 19:28, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I might forget what you were referring to. If you were referring to the conflict between Protestants and Catholics over the image of Christ on the cross, the history of that long-standing argument is well-documented and is still on display in both branches. No evangelical Protestant Church would feature an image of Christ on the cross; they consider that 'idolatry.' (Yet they build statues of Robert E Lee.) This silly argument should not be swept under the rug; this article is the perfect place to present this fact. And the reference to being healed by looking at it IS IN the quote from Deuteronomy. It's hardly a stretch to conclude that a crucifix is front and center of a Catholic Church for the reason given in Deuteronomy, especially when this reading is intentionally paired on the Feast Day (Exaltation of the Cross) with John 3:14.

I meant Numbers, not Deuteronomy. Sorry. Charlemange's 42- ggson (talk) 01:02, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
