Actually, most Christians I know don’t like the *X* abbreviation for *Christ*.
They feel it’s nor respectful enough.
Do your Christian friends not know that X was and has been used for centuries by Christians to depict Christ as he did die on the cross?? And I thought you were the educated one!
They feel it’s nor respectful enough.
I am aware of that. However, they are mistaken. It is an abbreviation using the Greek letter chi, the first letter in the Greek word xristos.
I was once a chr*stian, and I was also in school where I had to take lots of notes, and quickly. The "X" is, or should be, a legitimate abbreviation with no negative connotations. It is for that reason that I don't use it. Unfortunately, most people don't see it that way.
