Why was Jesus named Christ?

[Alex]

Is there any book that mentions how and when Jesus became Christ?

Jesus Christ was not actually his name, it was his title.

Yeshua Christos means anointed saviour.

So Yeshua of Nazareth means saviour of the Nazarenes, a Jewish cult.

His name was probably Josephus.

You can't fail to notice the parallels between the stories of both.

Christ is a greek translation of the word Messiah. Messiah means savior. It is not a last name or anything, it is a title. So you could say Christ Jesus or Jesus Christ. It would mean the Mesiah Jesus, or Jesus the Messiah.

 

[AverellA]

See Matthew 16:18.

Why do u say Jesus Is not God? He is actually kind of both (of how I know it) God, Jesus, and the Holy spirit are one, but also somehow seperate (I think)
