The sculpture and adornment sometimes even made reference to these things BUT not in the manner being described here (ie: honoring idolatry in any way). No Akhi Albion, I disagree with you. Do you think a pagan built THIS:

Be honest. Those are crosses on top the spires, this building was dedicated to the three apostles Keefa, Yaakov, and of course Rav Shaul. *Not* Zeus, Tammuz, Molech or anything of the sort. Here are details of the relics painfully collected from the four corners of the world just for this building, considered the Greatest Norman Cathedral in England:
Quote:We have a detailed record in the contents of the Abbey's reliquaries from the mid-12th century monk Hugh Candidus, they included; two pieces of swaddling clothes which wrapped the baby Jesus, pieces of Jesus' manger, a part of the five loaves which fed the 5,000, a piece of the raiment of St Mary, a piece of Aaron's rod, and relics of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew - to whom the church is dedicated. [8]
If this is pagan then I don't know what is non-pagan. This is a house for the Lord and many generations of people served him in this building. Period.
Shlama all,
Did the tabernacle in the wilderness have crosses? Did Solomon's temple? Did the temple in Jerusalem in Yahshua's time have crosses? These were places to worship Yahweh. These are our examples.
