Admitting You're a Sinner

[Haipule]

No, the central theme of the NT is christ...not jesus.  Jesus is just some schmuck, christ is a redemptive figure.  Random schmucks named jesus can't wash away sin.  You should know the difference, being an expert and all.

Your just digging a hole! Quit while your behind!

As I said, Yeshua is Joshua. In the OT there is another Joshua. In the NT Greek, both names are spelled the same: iEsous. So, we need an adjective so we do not confuse them. That adjective is christos transliterated, and not translated, as "Christ". christos means: anointed.

christos iEsous is an attributive adjective. iEsous christos is a predicate adjective. christos alone is a substantive adjective used appellatively: Anointed-One.

mashiyach, translated into English, is from the Greek transliterated word Messiah, in the OT is also an adjective and also means anointed. Figuratively, to be anointed is to be given a purpose and a destiny.

Most unfortunately, the translators translate it as a noun, so whenever they see the adjective christos, always transliterate it into nothingness and give it a capital "C". In doing so, completely masks the teaching that we as sheep are also anointed with an anointing, destiny and purpose.
