The Name Jesus Christ
In Jesus’s case it’s not clear since in one gospel he was born in Bethlehem and in another it seems he was born in Nazareth, or at least that’s where people assumed he was born since he is known, even until today as “Jesus of Nazareth”. So what should he be called?

The word in Hebrew for messiah is “mashiach”. For the Jews, from whom came the Messianic prophesies, the idea of “mashiach” is not a savior, but a great human leader like King David. Now when I say human, that means the Messiah will be a human being, not a god come in the flesh, born of a virgin.
