Question about the Christian fish ...

[Jim West Pa]

I recal readin somewhere a while back that is unacceptable when displaying a Christian fish that it should allways point to the left of the viewer.I think i read that it has something to do with the 3 crosses, Rejection, Redemption,Reception.Meaning that the one that accepted Jesus at his time on the cross was at Jesus' left.Which i know, would be to us, as the viewer, on our right.
Researching this again to day i was only able to so far find the following...........
We also found a satirical essay "Experts concerned about backward Jesus fishes" which suggested, with tongue in cheek, that fish swimming to the right is "a duplicitous tool of Satan, the Lord of Lies...Our children are viewing these fish and are losing their grip on morality....These backwards fishes, and all their inherent evils could destroy a society." 13

The most meaningful orientation is probably to have the fish swimming to the left, as is shown above. The symbol then resembles the first letter of the Greek alphabet, alpha. That recalls Revelation 1:8:

" I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." (King James Version).

Anyone have any input on the subject of it orientation ?

I have never heard/read anything pertaining to what you say. If someone published that I would think they had too much time on their hands.
The Bible would make it clear if the fish was to be used and how, Steve in so az

Totally agree! If you want to know the meaning of something, look it up in the Bible. If it's not there, it's not worth it.

 

[rentasquid]

that it was an identifier for the early christian, while they were facing persecution. On brother would make one half of the fish, and the other would make the other half, identifying each other as a fellow christian. I dont know if that is true or not though. And it seems natural that the fish would be pointing left, since most peoples write from left to right. I've never heard of the sinister side of the ichthus though!?!
