WHO IS JESUS CHRIST?
Who is Jesus Christ?
Unlike any other human, Jesus lived in heaven as a spirit person before he was born on earth. (John 8:23) He was God’s first creation, and he helped in the creation of all other things. He is the only one created directly by Jehovah and is therefore appropriately called God’s “only-begotten” Son. He was also a carpenter.
What is religion of Jesus Christ?
Jesus Christ was Jewish.
Where is Jesus Christ from?
Mary is noted in the first four gospels as traveling with Jesus from the beginning to the end. Jesus Christ was born circa 6 B.C. in Bethlehem. Little is known about his early life, but as a young man, he founded Christianity, one of the world’s most influential religions. He accurately predicted the huge impact that he would have on the world!
(Mark 13:10-13)
9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Other facts about Jesus Christ.
His name was not Jesus Christ! It was Yeshua.
A typical Jew in Jesus’ time had only one name, sometimes supplemented with the father’s name or the individual’s hometown. Thus, in the New Testament, Jesus is referred to as “Jesus of Nazareth” (Matthew 26:71), “Joseph’s son” (Luke 4:22), and “Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth” (John 1:45). However, in Mark 6:3, rather than being called the son of Joseph, he is referred to as “the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon”.
The name Jesus is derived from the Latin Iesus, a transliteration of the Greek Ἰησοῦς (Iesous). The Greek form is a rendition of the Hebrew ישוע (Yeshua), a variant of the earlier name יהושע (Yehoshua), or Joshua. The name Yeshua appears to have been in use in Judea at the time of the birth of Jesus. The first-century works of historian Flavius Josephus, who wrote in Koine Greek, the same language as that of the New Testament, refer to at least twenty different people with the name Jesus (i.e. Ἰησοῦς). The etymology of Jesus’ name in the context of the New Testament is generally given as “Yahweh is salvation”.
Since early Christianity, Christians have commonly referred to Jesus as “Jesus Christ”. The word Christ is derived from the Greek Χριστός (Christos), which is a translation of the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ, meaning the “anointed” and usually transliterated into English as “Messiah”. Christians designate Jesus as Christ because they believe he is the awaited Messiah prophesied in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). In post biblical usage,Christ became viewed as a name—one part of “Jesus Christ”—but originally it was a title. The term “Christian” (meaning “one who owes allegiance to the person Christ” or simply “follower of Christ”) has been in use since the first century.
Some people believe Jesus translates to hail Zeus but I can not find proof that is true or false. If its true or not the case for Pagan infiltration from important Catholic figures from the very start of the Catholic religion including the first emperor to convert to Christianity Constantine the Great, along with the Catholic religion keeping many Pagan rituals and events alive, you could argue that Catholics are in fact Pagan! After all every Catholic festival and holiday is a based around Paganism.
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
