Hi Froggy,
I know Paul uses "Christ" many times in reference to Jesus. I still think Christ is a title. When we call on the NAME of the Lord, I believe we speak out the name of Jesus or Jesus Christ or Lord Jesus Christ,
but basically Jesus has to be there. I'm not dogmatic about it.
I was wondering what word a Hebrew NT would use to translate Christ and the online translator keeps giving me "Jesus" in hebrew.
And then I found this:
Christ is the Anglicization of the Greek word χριστος - christos.
Christos comes from the Greek word χρίω - chrio - to anoint, and means 'anointed.' ὁ χριστός ( ho christos) means The Anointed [One].
In Hebrew, 'anointed one' is מָשִׁיחַ - mashiach, and comes from מָשַׁח - mashach - to smear or anoint.
מָשִׁיחַ, in its turn, has been Anglicized to 'Messiah.'
Hence, χριστος is the equivalent of מָשִׁיחַ.
And in English, Christ is the equivalent of Messiah.
מָשִׁיחַ = Māšhîacḥ It has been Anglicized to messiah.
