WHY WE INSIST THAT WE LIGHT THE CROSS, NOT BURN IT!
John 8:12 " Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
We of the Ku Klux Klan, have a ceremony called a Cross Lighting. This ceremony is done to glorify Christ, and to show people that He is the light of the world, and in Him there is no darkness. People will say they saw on T.V., where the Klan "burned" a cross, but we insist, that we do NOT burn them, but LIGHT them. It's more than just a play on words. Look at the symbol we use...it represents Christ. Scripture plainly says He is the light of the world. Therefore, we LIGHT the cross, we do NOT burn it! Burning suggests vandalism, sacriledge, evil etc. This is purposely used by our enemies, to give the public a wrong impression of who and what we are. Some have even thought we are Satanic, because of the symbol of the Fiery Cross! Hopefully now, you know why we insist that we LIGHT the cross, and that WE DO NOT BURN IT!!
