a Lunate Sigma

By fb Carl Krauter

ΙΧΘΥΣ (ichthys), or also ΙΧΘΥΣ with a lunate sigma, is an acronym or acrostic for "Iησοuς Χριστoς, Θεοu Υ?oς, Σωτnρ" (Iosous Christos, Theou Yios, Sotor; contemporary Koine [ie??sus k?ris?tos t?e?u (h)y?jos so?te?r]), which translates into English as 'Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour'. (no it doesn't I have the Greek Text AND THAT IS NOT WHAT IT SAYS.)

Iota (i) is the first letter of Iosous (Iησοuς), Greek for "Jesus".
Chi (ch) is the first letter of Christos (Χριστoς), Greek for "anointed" (of the Lord).
Theta (th) is the first letter of Theou (Θεοu), Greek for "God's", the genitive case of Θεóς, Theos, Greek for "God".
Upsilon (y) is the first letter of (h)yios[10] (Y?oς), Greek for "Son".
Sigma (s) is the first letter of sotor (Σωτnρ), Greek for "Saviour"

This is the actual Greek words but not correct translation just like "Logos and Sophia" in Trinitarian Teachings.

It is actually "Iesous Christos Anointed One and Messenger of God."

That is why the Alpha/Omega symbols are in the Chi Rho ... it shows his Father. In Arabic Lands the name is "Someone" - "Son of Someone" Yeshua Son of Joseph for example indicated by "Bin" or "Ben" (Arabic or Hebrew).

The Fish (Icthys) is a symbol of the Fishermen, "Follow me and I will make you Fishers of Men" not "Follow me because I am God".

He is not God as He says in the Bible so many times, a Man can not be God or it makes God imperfect.

He died, He made mistakes, He was betrayed, he was persecuted ... God is not persecuted nor does God die.
