This is from the John Ankerberg show. Dr. Sproul asks questions that non-xians might ask while Dr. Gerstner answers them.

Is replacing "Christ" with "X" supposed to be demeaning? That's what I thought it was.

Thanks for posting the videos.

No. It is shorthand. The letter X represents the word Christ because it's an abbreviation of the word Christ in Greek. Christos=Χριστος
Spread the word, b/c there are a lot of people who think that

Thanks for the info.

However, regardless of the original propriety of it, I see it done often as a means of demeaning Christ's name. That is, because people think of it that way, they do it that way intentionally! This is of course done by nonbelievers, as I have seen it done on atheist message boards.

Would it be funnier if I informed them that it's not demeaning at all, then?

That's exactly why I think we should spread the word--plus to end ignorance

While not a big fan of their apologetic methods, I loved watching this. I think Dr. Sproul really enjoys being obnoxious.
