Christianity did not stop at its appropriation of the Hebrew concept of Messiah it went on to trump other religions by claiming that Jesus was God himself, entered into history. ![]() And anyone interested in religion will know that the difference between Jews and Christians is that the former are still waiting for Messiah, whereas the latter believe he has already come in the person of Jesus: hence, Jesus Christ. The more informed will know that the second word is not a cognomen, but a title – Christ, Greek for Messiah, the agent of God in the Hebrew scriptures, who will one day enter history to redeem his people and bring justice on earth. P eople not in the know could be forgiven for thinking that the central character in Christianity had a first name, Jesus, and a surname, Christ. ![]()
