"Christ" Is a Title, Not a Name --- Here's what it means

“Christ” is a title, not a name. It means the same thing as “Messiah” or “Anointed One.” It points back to the Jewish practice of pouring oil over the heads of those who were marked out as God’s special representatives in the world.

Well said. Well put. I now have a better understanding.

[@frankly.speaking]

The term messiah (Heb. mashiach; Grk. Christos) means the anointed yet it has great historic significance attached to it. Though "the Messiah" is considered as a title, it has several other titles associated with it too.

I thought Christ meant a state of consciousness? Like Christ consciousness. Jesus was the only one who carried Christ at the time

[@creativelifewithgrace994]

Jesus, The Christ, was a Messiah, an anointed messenger of truth.

So... when did he get anointed?

[@davidbarber3821]

@Jay Bee
So Zoroastrian magi anointed your savior & that's OK with יהוה 🤔

[@davidbarber3821]

@Jay Bee
But the New Testament is garbage tho!

[@davidbarber3821]

@Jay Bee
You did kno that right? The 3 wise men were Zoroastrian Magi .... you should take some time to understand the Mesopotamian religion of Zoroastrianism, Christianity took mostly all its ideology from Zoroastrianism... even Judean religion was significantly influenced by Zoroastrianism

@Jay Bee
Dnt be naive... this is the problem with you Christian apologists (Jesus freaks) when presented with facts you are unaware of u play games with the facts
Let me put this in a way you'll understand... Christianity STOLE its Dualistic religion, its SAVIOR , its Apocalyptic themes,it's idea of an afterlife etc from Zoroastrianism..
But ppl like you are TOO SCARED to look into simple history

[@shua678]

He never got anointed

[@liamsmith1371]

I luv you guys

[@juliannzzineilson241]

There is an even deeper meaning that is not being touched on here. I'm more esoteric meaning that has been occulted. In truth we are all the Christ we are all the anointed ones. How could we not be if we are children of God? It goes much deeper than this people and most of you are not willing to do the research to find out what has been hidden and taken from you.
