The anchor with a fish was the first symbol of Christianity, not the cross.

[Penelope]

The anchor, because of the great importance in navigation, was regarded in ancient times as a symbol of safety. The Christians, therefore, in adopting the anchor as a symbol of hope in future existence, merely gave a new and higher signification to a familiar emblem. In the teachings of Christianity the virtue of hope occupies a place of great importance; Christ is the unfailing hope of all who believe in Him. St. Peter, St. Paul, and several of the early Fathers speak in this sense, but the Epistle to the Hebrews for the first time connects the idea of hope with the symbol of the anchor. The writers says that we have "Hope" set before us "as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm" (Hebrews 6:19-20).

Never understood the cross

Walking around with a form of execution around your neck

Like stringing a hangman's noose or miniature electric chair around your neck

Even children can understand it. It doesn't represent execution. It represents the execution of Christ.

 

[HaShev]

Dagon the fishman god was the father of Baal, the sun cross (circle cross) was a symbol of Baal WHO was the father of the morning star (Jesus claimed to be Baal's son in Rev 22:16).
The Morning star was the son of Ishtar(easter) the fishman hatched from a giant "egg" by a river.
Sounds like an alien visitation story *L*.
There you have the fish symbol, the sun cross, the easter egg=mystery babylon.
The Pope wears the fishead hat (mitre) of Dagon used by priests of Dagon, his ring is a fishman ring of dagon, his robe sports fish scale designs, he celebrates Baal's Dec 25th birthday eating a non kosher forbiden swine (sous) both literally and in ritual because IESous(Greek for Jesus)means "the swine" and he claims to partake of (Iesous)the swine's flesh and blood during sacrament.

If you walked around with a noose hanging from you neck, you'd like quickly get assaulted by coons and arrested by cops for thought crimes.

What do you think about the ankh's influence on that imagery?

Except we are Christians. The better and improved Judaism, fulfillment of Judaism!! Obviously Jesus was not a Jew. Every religion celebrated the winter solstice. Jonah spent time in the belly of the big fish, because men were thought to come from the water, and at one time were fish, and they were right.

Oh Penelope you do realize don’t you that the anchor was a symbol of the goddess Isis that predates Christianity by many many years...Course Michael pointed this out but then you had to boast that Christianity has replaced Judiasm Yada Yada Yada when all you are showing is that they love copying and plagerizing everything poorly and that they have nothing unique to offer of their own..Including your man/ god / idol Jesus .It was Isis that was associated with the sea as she is shown sailing in the boat of the gods through the underworld searching for Osiris..Further every year a priest of Isis blessed a boat and it was launched symbolizing this journey.. The symbols that were sacred to Isis were as follows the sail the rudder and of course the anchor which depicted power to provide stability through rough waters... It does not surprise me that Christianity usurped these pagan symbols as they are notorious for doing so... You have managed to open up a new can of worms with your claims. Any who are interested should look up the festival of Ploiaphesia and see that once again Penelope has shot herself in the foot but this time she has wrapped an anchor around it that will drag her down to her sorrow...

Actually it was the symbol of Apollo, Yes Isis has a ship but when you launch a ship you do not put down the anchor and that was not a symbol of hers.

Now you are being ridiculous anyone can google it up and see you are lying through your teeth... The cross or Ankh was also the symbol of Isis so you are doubly caught in your lie... Really though this is the best you could do... Any who wish to look these things up can and they will see that Christianity stole these symbols and took them for themselves which you admitted they did with Judiasm in your previous post...You really can’t dig yourself out of this one but you are digging a bigger hole for yourself though...

 

[HaShev]

And Isis which was Baal's wife is just an Egyptian version of Ishtar, the Assyrian and Babylonian goddess.
Ancient Egyptians believed in a primeval egg from which the sun god hatched=same mythology of Ishtar who had Baal's son hatch out of an egg as a giant fishman.
Once again these descriptions sound like an alien visitation, in which case the church describes Jesus as this Son of Ishtar(Isis) and Baal when claiming him the Morning Star in Rev 22:16.
The Canaanite mythology of the dying god is that the son (morning star)surpasses his father Baal on the throne through the dying & ressurection scene as in masking his image plagiarizing his mythology he now becomes his father as one in the same image/story as found in predated tablets.
Which is why the secret of the number of his name is Baal Jesus=666
in ASCll numerology used to secret numbers from names.

You can't just drop anchor anywhere and expect stability.
Ocean rules are a lot different than landlubbers. If god had been a sailor, we would be living in a better world.

The Ankh is not an anchor. Yes please look it up. Isis has many symbols but not an anchor. Judaism was pagan for many years.

Yes it is said when one drops an anchor , one is safe.

Like stringing a hangman's noose or miniature electric chair around your neck

Or a tiny guillotine.

Christian cross is wrong too. Should be an X instead of a T shape.

But it's the Evening Star (crossed out cross)symbol used in the steering of the ship and compass in finding ones path. *L*
