What do you think of when you look at the cross and the crucifix? Do they hold sacred and religious value for you?

After reading Ogechukwu’s book, your perception may change; the church’s use of these symbols has, for centuries, concealed facts regarding their true origins. Ogechukwu reveals those findings in this stunning expose.

His research includes historical accounts of Christianity’s conspiracy and divulges the true meaning of the cross—a satanic symbol.

Ogechukwu states:

“For centuries after Christ, the church and other religions that use cruciform symbols have misrepresented the physical nature of Christ's death with a satanic symbol (cross), and a pagan idol (corpus). This secret has been concealed by the church for centuries after Christ."

What reason did the church have for shifting the cross’ meaning from one of evil to one of goodness?

This easy to read, enlightening and academically sound book regarding the symbolism and meaning of the cross leads to a stunning conclusion. Learn more about the real nature of Christ’s death and religion’s role in the change in symbolism. Ogechukwu wants to reveal the truth in hopes of releasing humankind from what he calls the “painful knowledge bondage” of cruciform propaganda.

Greetings Nwaocha!

I haven't been on this site for a very long time, so I was interested to read your comment when I quickly looked over the e-mail I received from Goodreads this morning.

If you want confirmation of the totally non-Christian origin of the cross, then just visit the British Museum; there are literally thousands of Egyptian, Assyrian and especially Babylonian, crosses and crucifixes, all venerated in fertility rites and polytheistic religious practices. If anyone had a Time Capsule and could bring those pre-Christian people back to 2010, they would feel right at home in the churches of today!

It's a real eye opener visiting this great museum!

You'd probably have a hard time finding any religious (or other) symbol that has not been used in different ways at different times. The point is, it's a symbol, not a reality. It means what you've been raised to associate it with. I have an argument about customs for treating the bodies of the dead in my upcoming book where these different customs--ALL of which are centered on reverence for the dead--threaten to lead to a holy war among planets. I just heard somewhere that the fasces on the old dime was treated as evidence that the US was fascist, even though that dime was designed long before the fascist government in Italy picked it up.
