  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I like crosses because they remind me of the sacrifice Jesus made for the world. I prefer an empty cross as opposed to a crucifix because an empty cross reminds me Jesus is no longer on it, and will be returning soon. :)

I also really like the fish symbol, although I don't think it should or will replace the cross as the universal symbol of Christianity.

why thank you pro_odeh

i also like the fishy symbol, i believe it is called an icthus (or something like that.... i cant spell lol) and i do agree that the cross will always be the symbol of christianity, because in my opinion, without the cross, christianity would never have existed.

ICTUS is Greek for Fish.

It is an Acronym for IHSOUS CRISTOS QEOS UIOS SWTER (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior)

ICQUS

As to the OP I'm sure Jesus has no problem whatsoever with us remembering Him through the display of the cross. The cross represents the singlemost beautiful and powerful gesture of love in the history of creation.

BTW the anagram is ICHTHUS (ICQUS)
ICQUS = IHSOUS (JESUS) CRISTOS (CHRIST) QEOS (GOD) UIOS (SON) SWTER (SAVIOR)



grace and peace
