Right... so you DON'T believe #3. I guess we will use the process of elimination?
Eliminate #4. Look up the Natsarim. The origin of the word Christian has pagan roots. I'm not embracing that word.
Ok I looked it up and my BS detector was going crazy!
Granted, I didn't find any other origin of the word besides G5546 = xristianos, "Christian" in Acts 11:26 and 26:28, and 1 Peter 4:16.
I call my savior JESUS because that is the English transliteration/tradition. We could call him Joshua or Yeshua but it comes from the GREEK iesous.
The term Christos from the Greek was intended as a mirror to the Hebrew Messiah.
A language predates a writing. That’s how language and writing work. Don’t get caught up in the literal semantics of who used which term before the other. And when the text of the New Testament was penned in the common language Koine Greek, there were cases of necessary adaptation of terms referenced in the Hebrew writings into Greek.
The “Natsarim” are a group of what was referred to in Galatians by the Apostle Paul as the “Judaizers” who wanted to bring Talmudic filth into the scriptures with all of the rituals, ceremonies, and self-aggrandizing works associated with that Babylonian occultism.
In short, fuck that jew shit.
Son of God is not Greek. The Greek word XPISTOS meant anointed. The Greek word XRISTIANOS is the origin of the word CRETIN. CHRISTIAN: A Greek word with formerly Pagan usage. The Mandaean deity of the Sun was titled Christ Helios, the Alexandrian Osiris was titled Chreistos.
