Hey Dik, Okay, I stand corrected, (sort of!! LOL!) I was aware that "Christ" was a title, and as I understand it, the term "Christ" was used to address Jesus long before his Crucifixion and Christ rising. I am also aware that Jesus' name is open to interpretation, some believing that a more correct pronunciation of Jesus' name would be "Joshua".
A play on semantics, how that I re-read your message, I understand what it was that you were trying to convey. Finally, by no means am I a Biblical Scholar! I am envious of those who have had the time to delve into and research the Bible as it appears you have been able to do!
