According to church doctrine, the first Christian Roman Emperor, Constantine, beheld a vision of a fiery cross in the sky on the eve of a battle. With the fiery cross vision in the sky were the words: "With this sign ye shall conquer." Constantine adopted the fiery cross as his symbol on his shield and won the battle. That's how it all got started, and since then, the fiery cross has been a religious symbol not only for the Catholic Church but also for numerous Protestant churches. As a religious symbol, these churches use the fiery cross in various ways.
Have you ever stopped to think of just how many times God and fire are connected in the Bible? The Bible often uses fire as a symbol of God. In Deuteronomy 4:24 and in Hebrews 12:29, God is referred to as a consuming fire. In Malachi 3:2, the promised Messiah is referred to as a refiner's fire. In Matthew 3:11, John the Baptist speaks of Christ, saying, "He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire." In Exodus chapter three, God spoke to Moses out of a burning bush. In chapter 14 of Exodus, God came down as a pillar of fire. In Genesis chapter 19:24-25, Leviticus 10, Second Chronicles 7, First Kings 18, and Second Kings 2, God is again and again symbolized with fire, and fire gives light. Now, the cross has been long established as the symbol of Christ, and Christ is the light of the world. The Gospel of John 1:4-5 states: "In Him (Christ) was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness grasped it not." Thus, this passage has been symbolized by illuminating a cross with fire at night.
Anti-Christians are deliberately trying to change every symbol of Christianity into a symbol of "racist hate." The Christian religion is being twisted and perverted by the powers of anti-Christ right before our very eyes.
Col. Simmons revived the KKK in 1915. He was a former Methodist circuit minister, and the fiery cross is a Methodist religious symbol.
Today, we only light the cross in official ceremonies. We light it to symbolize the light of Jesus Christ coming into the world. We do not burn the cross but light it. The cross will extinguish before it burns. A cross lighting is a very solemn ceremony that is done with respect. The lighting of the cross has never been sacrilegious but rather the opposite, as we are a Christian Brotherhood that loves and respects our Lord and Savior. We put more focus on our Savior than the tree he was tortured upon.
The modern media, with its beloved yellow journalism, lies, falsehoods, half-truths, and distortions, was always quick to run wild with such incidents for the sake of its self-serving sensationalism
