Quote:may have been A Christ, or many Christs.
Christos, the Greek translation of moshiach, meant "anointed." The anointment of the king or high priest with a sacred oil was a jewish custom. So yes, there would have been many people who were "christosi" but the idea that one of them would have been some wandering preacher from the hills of Galilee is merely a gentile insult to jewish tradition.
