Is Visica Pieces the fish. If someone would have shown a cross to early Christians they would have recoiled in horror of the symbol death. According to Jesus there is only one commandment that you love one another. Followers will be known by the love they have for one another.
Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, & I will give you a heart of flesh.
2 Corinthians 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not in ink but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in the fleshy tables of the heart.
