Jesus' name is not Christ (Jesus Christ, Earth, Messiah, mystic)

[xexon]

A minor matter of semantics.

Christ, is not a name, its a title.

While various beliefs will have different definitions, in the simplest of terms it means annointed one. A messiah to some. An enlightened person to others. It is used to describe someone who has a oneness with God that others do not.

It is incorrect to think it belongs only to Jesus, and when using it with him, it should read Jesus the Christ or Christ Jesus.

Not Jesus Christ.

"Have you found honey my son?"
~Jewish mystical proverb~

Ezekiel was given a scroll to eat, which tasted like honey. John was given a scroll to eat, which tasted like honey. The manna tasted like honey. Solomon spoke of eating honey. Jonathan ate honey and his eyes brightened. And the one who baptized Christ had eaten honey.


...more to come at another time concerning honey...

Christ Michael was what He was called before He bestowed upon the earth.

Jesus is the name He was given when He was born in human form.

If Christ means, "annointed one," what is the difference between saying "Jesus the Christ" and "Jesus, 'annointed one'"? I think you're splitting hairs. I also think that since you're not a Christian, your opinion is not going to influence very many of His followers, who will probably continue -- as I will -- to call him Jesus Christ.

By the way, what prompted this thread anyway? Did someone tell you that Christians believe "Christ" is Jesus' last name? I don't know a single Christian who believes that.

I disagree. I believe that He was known as Jehovah before He was born to Mary.

Everyone knows his middle name begins with "H".

If there is only ONE Christ, then the appellation makes perfect sense.

Thoughtlessly.

Neverminding that in Greek and English both, there is no difference between Jesus Christ and Jesus the Christ. We could say "Jesus a Christ, just one of many," but that would obviously weaken orthodoxy.

So you do not believe that Jesus was/is the Son of God?
