Seeing the bible says Idolatry is wrong why do Christians use symbols like the fish?

[God_Loves_us_so_much!]

Do you even know the story behind the Ichthus (fish symbol?).

Back in the Bible days, Christians were so persecuted because of their beliefs....they were not able to figure out who was a Christian, and who wasn't.

So when they were with someone, they would reach down and draw a line in the dust....the side of the fish. Then, if the person was a believer, they would draw the other side of the fish.

That's how they knew they were believers.

No one worships the fish....we worship JESUS CHRIST! The fish is a symbol of our belief, same as the cross is.

You'll make a great JW.
You already have the holier than thou attitude.

Or have you changed course again?

idolatry i.e. idolizing, is wrong. not the use of symbols.
