Not sure I understand what you are trying to say. First we were talking about the Greek abbreviations/contractions of IH XP and IC XC Are you saying it is NOT IHSOUS, IHΣΟΥΣ and Xhristos spelled ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ? It is NOT Ιησούς Χριστός (IC XC)? If not, what is your suggestion? In your 1 Corinthians quote, it is Theos (God) and Kyrios (Lord) Iesous (Jesus). What do you not agree with exactly??
I have already offered an answer for this, but I offered it from the scripture, not from myself. If one will not accept it from the scripture then why would such a one accept it from me? Does the statement say, But by daq? or does it say, But by the Eastern Orthodox church? No, it says, No one can say, Κ̅Ϲ Ι̅Η, but by the Holy Spirit.
With its usage within various contexts, in both the LXX and the N/T, we know that by Κ̅Ϲ it is Kurios that is intended here, but by the same principles laid out in the totality of the scripture we can also know that Kurios may be used for YHWH, or Yah, or Lord, or Master, or even lower case lord and master. So on that nomen sacrum alone you have at least four choices and must decide by the context what is intended.
Tell me why I should even try to answer that for you when I could be wrong and mislead you? That is between you and the Spirit of Elohim in His Word: but if you think you can just take the word of your church, and put your faith in church tradition, I would strongly suggest that you are not taking this issue seriously enough. As for Ι̅Η, it is Paul who answers (one of the critical meanings of) this nomen sacrum, not me, and therefore I have quoted his words: and he himself answers it by quoting those who came before him, both king David in Psalm 68, and Yeshayah the Prophet in Isaiah 45, but without hearing the Logos within the contexts of Paul's words and those whom he quotes for background context, one will not receive the answer.
