Well, there are quite a few on this site... http://acronyms.co.nz/religion has a lot of acronyms to do with Christianity and other religions.
More specifically Christian acronyms are in the Bible books, Christmas and Easter subcategories:
http://acronyms.co.nz/religion/biblebooks/index.html
http://acronyms.co.nz/time/specialoccasions/christmas/index.html
http://acronyms.co.nz/time/specialoccasions/easter/index.html
Or you could search for terms like 'christ' or 'Jesus' from the main page. I hope this is what you're looking for. I just did a search for IBIG and this page:
http://www.paisproject.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=113
mentions another one - PUSH for Pray Until Something Happens.

Why 'find' them, when you can so easily create your own?
GOD
Great Omnipotent Deity
CHRIST
Certainly His Resurrection Is Supreme Truth

Good point... was that one perhaps inspired by http://acronyms.co.nz/cgi-bin/gonym?GOD ?
The subject of inspiration inspired this one:
GOD IS GOOD
Generator Of Divine Inspiration Should Get Our Ongoing Devotion
or something like that.

No, I just came up with it without checking the stack, or other sources. I suppose we've been corresponding for so long that we think along the same lines :-)
For those who are not monotheistic, but do believe in one supreme God....
General Overall Deity
-
We may as well round it off with Great Omnipresent Deity. :)
For that matter, the Omni Group (http://omnigroup.com) makes some excellent products for Mac OS X, including open source frameworks for other Cocoa developers to use. Some might regard the Omni folk as GODS - Generous Omni Developers Share!
A lot of people seem to fight each other because they believe in different gods - the Old Testament is littered with stories of God helping the Israelites defeat their enemies. I wonder how bible stories would read if told by the other side. In other words... is the GOD referred to Goliath's Or David's?
Also, some churches (at least Reverend Lovejoy's one on The Simpsons!) lean towards the idea that if we don't do exactly what God says we'll all burn in hell. Others describe a more benevolent God. So is GOD Generous Or Destructive?
Most texts refer to God as 'He' although there are jokes about God being female and logically (if logic even applies to gods) God is neither. So:
Gender's Often Debated.
GODS: Greek? One Doesn't Suffice.
GOD: Guess One's Desires (there are so many arguments and no direct ways of finding out what a god might want us to do.)

How about this one:
GOD: Gestalt Of Devotees

I went to it and couldn't see any reference to acronyms, so I used the site's own search facility anf looked for the word 'Acronym' and got 0 matches. You need to override the preset recency of posting limit of 7 days. I then got a few abbreviations and other well-known stuff

This one is really only a collection of abbreviations. The acronyms there aren't quite what we do here, there's no real words, just sets of initials.
Pity, I was looking forward to a new source of inspiration. But thanks anyway Dr. Joy.

REMEDY
Religious Extremists Make Everything Dreary & Yawnful
RELIGION
Religious Extremists Lack Inquisitiveness - Genesis Is Obviously Nonsense

Ok, sure, put down religious extremists. And Genesis is in no way nonsense, Timothy states that everything in the Bible is true. EVERYTHING. Even if you are not a Christian, that's insulting to me.

Even the Pope has recently accepted that there are parts of the Bible which are not factual. There is no way that the universe was (a) created in the sequence which Genesis gives, and (b) created within six days, or (c) created within the timescale which adding the ages of the generations listed would indicate.
I am sorry that you are offended by anything I wrote in a jovial mood, you might like to look at my serious treatment of the books of the Bible. I think that we all need to be able to see (a) the funny side and, (b) other people's points of view.
There are contradictory passages in the Bible - how do you rationalise those?

Nice one, now by the conventions governing these pages if you put something in capitals you must provide an expansion for it.
I'll offer one, but this doesn't remove your obligation to do one too,
HIM
Holy Immortal Mightiness
(and in a secular mode)
Happens It's Male!

If I'm that wrong then I would probably not enjoy visiting your site.
My views are my views. I don't try to interpret words written by people who lived thousands of years ago and spoke languages no one alove now can speak.

im not going to hit anyone in the head with a bible...but why would u doubt the universe being created in 6 days or the sequence in which it was created...God is not bound by time or space...in the yr of 2005 i was prayed over and God healed me, i was having seizure activity and from that day that my youth group prayed (april 7th, 2005)to this very day i have not had one seizure...also my grandfather had cancer, we prayed for him and when he went back for a scan there was no cancer in his body...NO WHERE! he had it in his spin and lungs. My God is a God of wonders, i love him deeply.
