Just joking with you, I know there weren't any diffrence. But seriously, why do you spell christian only with versales?

I dont want to step into your house uninvited, so if you would like my perspective, let me know which post to go to. If not, I hope y'all have a great day.

Greetings Icthus! Welcome to the forums!

Big Grin that's a very good attitude I say! Hope to have some interesting and enjoyable discussions!

Indeed. The internet is awesome!

Hi Icthus,

This is, after all, mainly a debate forum, it would be a little boring if we all thought the exact same thing!

Just don't expect anyone to be gentle with you Devil

The fish symbol is actually pre Christian.

Ictus or Ichthyus (Greek Ikhthus) does mean fish

Christians have used it as an acronym almost since the beginning of Christianity:


I (i)=Iota, is the first letter of the word Iesous, "Jesus"

Ch (kh)= the first letter of Khristos.Greek for "Christ" or "annointed"

Theta (th)= First letter of "Theou" God's generative case.

Upsilon (u)=is the first letter of huios.Greek for son

Sigma (s)= is the first letter of soter.Greek for saviour


"Jesus Christ Son Of God, Saviour"

Hence it's fair to say that to refer to oneself as "Ichthus" might be seen by the slightly more liturigically literate as a little immodest.Thinking
