Images are indeed prohibited in Scripture. Making the cross into an ornament has nothing to recommend it either. Hanging ornaments in vehicles is simply superstition. We are commanded to worship "in spirit and in truth". There is nothing whatsoever in Scripture to suggest that Christians should have any such things.

I'm a Baptist, but I have no issue with using the Crucifix in church. Baptists are congregational, meaning that the local church is autonomous in both doctrine and practice, so there are Baptist churches out there that use the Crucifix, but it is uncommon.
My church has a stained glass image of the Crucifix. I think the primary reason why we usually do not use is because "It's too Catholic." I can't speak for the other denominations though.
The Bible says God has an issue with the crucifix, how does that work?

Exodus 20: 3-4Where does it say that?
Can you post the verses that say that?
if God does not like images at all
why did He command that two statues of Cherubim be placed on top of the Ark of the Covenant?
or all the images used in the Temple that Solomon made?
Exodus 20: 3-4
3[bless and do not curse]Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4[bless and do not curse]Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
The reasons for those images were specific to the temple, God has commanded images to be made for specific purposes such as the serpent on a staff in the wilderness. If you think God should not have done this you should probably take it up with him.
By quoting that commandment you are assuming, of course, that Catholics are worshiping the crucifixes. I'm not certain that has been proved. Could you provide evidence that they are worshiping the crucifix? Thanks.
well God commanded the images on the Ark and the Bronze Serpent
but I am not sure that God gave specific commands about the Temple, just that Solomon built it and God was pleased with it
it seems that King Solomon has more freedom then those who are alive in Christ
well atleast according to some people

using images to represent the invisible God is clearly prohibited in the Old Testament
but with the coming of Jesus Christ, who is God and Man, He is very visible
These are very solid sounding excuses for.denying the Bible says what it says. We can all rationalize, I do it everyday.
