Is It Christmas Or Xmas? by smartxyz(m): 1:14pm On Dec 18, 2020 |
Hello everyone Please I need your input on something. Is there anything wrong in saying X-mas instead of Christmas? From what I have studied Christ in Hebrew and Greek is written as X or Chi; but the argument is becoming too and I think the church also forbids it��♂️ so I heard So please I really need your input on this.

Perhaps one of those Pastors, Daddy and Mummy GOs, Papas and Mamas, will show up and quote the correct rendering in the Bible! smartxyz: |

First of all, you have to understand that it is not the letter X that is put into Christmas. We see the English letter X there, but actually what it involves is the first letter of the Greek name for Christ. Christos is the New Testament Greek for Christ. The first letter of the Greek word Christos is transliterated into our alphabet as an X. That X has come through church history to be a shorthand symbol for the name of Christ dated back in the 1500s. Next time you hear someone talking about how wrong "xmas" is, please teach him or her the history behind it. Jesus is the reason for the season. |
