Jesus (if he existed as a single historical figure and was not an amalgam of many such teachers) may have been A Christ, or many Christs. Christians have mistaken their model of Jesus as THE Christ (as if only one existed). Many traditions have a central holy figure, but few realize that they all point to one solitary nature - a Christ of sorts. Jews call [God] YHWH, while Christians call [God] Jesus. Muslims call [God] Allah, and Ra is the name for the sun [God] chosen by the Egyptians. The point is that for all of the many traditions that are competing, very few realize that a house divided against itself cannot stand. They all have the same [God] and "Christ" is but one name given to the deity.
