Why say xtians instead of Christian Why say Xmas instead of Christmas Why substitute Christ for x knowing fully well that X signifies bad Even if it is long to type, why use 'x' of all letters Would 'C' not have been better Personally, I try as much as possible to type it in full because Christ shouldn't be replaced with 'X'...

It turns out, “Xmas” is not a non-religious version of “Christmas”. The “X” is actually indicating the Greek letter “Chi”, which is short for the Greek , meaning “Christ”. So “Xmas” and “Christmas” are equivalent in every way except their lettering.
.
In fact, although writing guides such as those issued by the New York Times; the BBC; The Christian Writer’s Manual of Style; and Oxford Press discourage the use of Xmas in formal writing, at one time, it was a very popular practice, particularly with religious scribes, who are thought to have started the whole “Xmas” thing in the first place. Indeed, the practice of using the symbol “X” in place of Christ’s name has been going on amongst religious scholars for at least 1000 years.
.
Eventually, this shorthand trick spread to non-religious writings where nearly everywhere “Christ” appeared in a word, the Greek Chi would replace that part of the word. For example, in the 17th and 18th centuries, there are numerous non-religious documents containing instances of “Xine”, which was a common spelling for someone whose name was Christine.

Thats BLASPHEMY if you ask me. And we ought to behead whoever says that

if u ask me na who i go ask

The last time I checked letter X is an alphabet word and also the 24th letter of the English Alphabet! And I wonder if OP has ever heard of "Abbreviation"??

because we are too lazy to type it full

it shouldn't be used....becos x cannot be used for Christ and it is Christian not Xtian

So because of "X" now, u can't sleep?

Nigerians really take things that are insignificant in high esteem.


So using X, does it reduce who Christ is?

Leave this to the linguistic students and research team.

@SamJed
Does english language belongs to christianity ?

How does the way people choose to express your themselves affects you ?

I would have taken you serious if you explain how to write "christian" in greek or
aramaic.

Op why do yu use 9ja instead of Nigeria

o

That's the thing with man's creation, there's bound to be innovations.

What's tha business?

... Bcus Jesus was crucified of d "X"

Summary please

Hmm..i guess because god is xenogenous, xenomorphic and xanthoriatic

Whatever... My own is just that admission is sure for me this year. Federal University of Technology,Akure I'm coming

OP mind you X is doesn't mean bad. In Mathematics it represent the unknown value that will be known later after solving an equation. In relationship X is not bad. And for Christians to use X to represent Christ is well defined thing. Just try to understand the concept. Very important

ajuju

TDonald:

Summary please

He said; "X" means Christ in Greek and writing it as Xmas is formal

The world hate christ and everything that christ stand for...that is why they try to erase anything associated with christ.

Wait

nna nawa o

of the problems facing this country, we should be bothered by X?

[size=15pt]Good this made front page..
Another thing I hate is someone abbreviating In Jesus' Name with Ijn..
Make we try change and write in full please[/size]

Because we are used to X and Y in mathematics

It's just your own perception about the whole thing. cuz in as much as I know, it has nothing to do with being a true Christian or not.

And what if you claiming Mr Righteous keep writing it in full and at the same time committing other sin nkor?

Haven't you read the Bible to where it says "thou shall not judge? "

E be like say you just dey giv your life to Christ

Why bringing Christmas topic now when we Stil have a lot of interesting,bizarred,confusing,shocking,heartbreaking topics to ponder upon





























OP and Modestus must be on something
