Why do Nigerians find it hard to type a _fucking three letter word 'why?'. I always feel like beating people whenever they type 'y' and never include a question mark. |

Only people that lack knowledge and understanding will replace the name Christ with 'X' in the word Christian. The name Christ is the most powerful name on earth. Endeavor to mention that name always so that Satan and demons will tremble and bow. It pains me when Christians participates in this... 1 Like |

Lilimax:Instead of talking balderdash, why don't you find out why X is used? English wasn't the first language that was used translate the bible....it's not as if anyone calls Jesus X... |

It's probably represents the sign of the cross and as Christians, the sign represents Jesus. |

SUPERPACK:thanks for the info but since we use English why don't we stick to it rather than using the Greek one...i think the English one expresses the words 'christmas' and 'Christian' better...my thought though |

I think Nigerians are over religious and if it shows in our daily lives we would be better,than being hypocritical in nature..now to the topic,the bible was originaly written in Greek and Hebrew..Christ in Greek is Xristos...Op we translating Xristos to Christ in English doesnt change who he is..x is an abbreviation,sometimes we worry over very trival issues 1 Like |

SamJed: dd12345: Wolexdey: mrZENographer: okpooo: Lilimax: I think this is a linguist issue, and has nothing to do with a demonic attempt at replacing Christ in our life. What name did Mary call the Saviour by? Was it "Christ?" Was it "Jesus?" STFUand4kMeHARD:Your bigotry and nescience may require that you be beheaded instead. |

SUPERPACK: Well, inasmuch as "X" is an alphabet i personally dont use it in describing Christian and Christ. But some Muslims use it frequently as a wishfull thinking describing "Christians" hoping Christian goes into extinction. Some Moslem that uses "X" are the ones who are afraid of pronouncing "Jesus Christ" these are the extreme fanatics that are happy silently when Christians get killed in Islamic purported violence. "X" or whatever dosent diminish the importance and power of Christ and Christians 2 Likes |
