Symbols...Without Christ, the cross is a symbol of death. Christ, however, as the way, truth and the life, overcame the cross. The cross is not synonymous with life. Christ, however, is synonymous with life. All things are made through Him. The symbol is only as good as its intention. Without Christ, what does the cross mean?

Read Isaiah 44 -46.  A fish was used to symbolise the "Way" of the belief that Christ was the Messiah at the very beginning of this faith in Christ as the definite Messiah.  It is a faith that makes you feel good. The miraculous stories stir the soul.  But, the faith is not a call to feelings of superiority over others and games of judging others whether they are believers or not. This is not Christ's message. It is not a message that has room or opportunity for one church's doctrine to claim superiority over another church and its doctrine.  We cannot have the attitude that we have already attained it. We see in part and know in part; right?-1st Corinthians 13:9.  The hope is that every believer will stay faithful to the truth of the word; nothing more. About the habit or tendency for judgement of others, read Matthew 7 and Jeremiah 9:23-24.

Thus says the Lord: y“Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, 24 but zlet him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. aFor in these things I delight, declares the Lord.
