A purine is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound. It consists of a pyrimidine ring fused to an imidazole ring. Purines, which include substituted purines and their tautomers, are the most widely occurring nitrogen-containing heterocycle in nature.his is called complementary base pairing. In RNA, the complement of adenine is uracil instead of thymine. Other notable purines are hypoxanthine (4), xanthine (5), theobromine (6), caffeine (7), uric acid (8) and isoguanine (9).
However, because of Christ and His death on the cross, the meaning of the cross today is completely different. In Christianity, the cross is the intersection of Godâs love and His justice. Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). The reference to Jesus as the Lamb of God points back to the institution of the Jewish Passover in Exodus 12.
The Cross is the symbol of Christianity regardless whether there is Christ hanging on the Cross or not. I believe that after the Reformation that an effigy of Christ or a statue of a Saint etc. were considered to be idols, and were not to be worshiped. live in a mostly protestant town and country, but i want to convert to catholism. I was wondering why there is a Jesus figure on the Catholic crucifix and not on the Protestant one. I noticed this when i walked past the chapel today.
