Christ or Messiah?

Those disciples were Greek converted by Paul. This conversion was decades after the crucifixion. Paul never met Jesus. The word Christ is Greek and was adopted by the Greek writers into their Gospels. Why is it that the Jewish Messiah is always referred to as Jesus, the Christ and never Jesus the Messiah?

December 25, Whose Birthday?

Christmas is supposed to be a warm, happy time of year for people, but not for me. Since I was a kid I have always had an aversion to it. It seems odd to me that when Christmas came around each year I would have a depressed feeling. I guess it shouldn’t seem odd, since it was the confusing, materialistic spirit of Christmas that really got me down. Finally, I think I understand why I would always feel that way. Call me Scrooge or call me a heretic, but I can no longer accept or celebrate Christmas. Continue reading

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?

At any rate, the Greek word that Christ comes from: Christos, does not mean messiah, contrary to popular belief and teaching. But it means the “anointed one” — or something close to that.

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.

The word in Hebrew for messiah is “mashiach”:
