Jesus of Nazareth never used it to refer to himself. When the book of Matthew has Peter refer to Jesus as "Christ", you have to remember that the book was written much later and is a translation: the term would have been "maschiach" in Aramaic . . . messiah. Many individuals since Jesus of Nazareth have also been called "Christ". The Emperor Constantine is a primary example.
You can yammer on and on about how SPECIAL your name is, you can prove absolutely that you are a direct descendant of Constantine - - so what? Nobody is going to care about your ridiculous delusions of grandeur. The only thing that we will care about regarding you, JBentKilljoy, is that UNTIL you manage to raise the dead and walk on water in front of a huge crowd of witnesses, you are wasting our time, and yours.
Go f*** yourself . . . oh, right, you already are . . . carry on then.
Thanks, drfuzzy.
You can say you know what it's like having a name like I do, but until you give me any kind of a hint about it's significance you can keep on guessing.
Dr: Are you referring to my connection to William the Conqueror? It means less than nothing. More than 1/4 of all Americans share a similar ancestry.
who is constantine anyway? somebody important?
Dr.: You have google. Use it. Christianity probably wouldn't exist without Constantine.
What's so important about having an important name drfuzzy?
Dr.: Nothing. Nada. Zip. It's all about what you do with it.
Why do they protect God's tree drfuzzy?
Dr.: God doesn't have a tree, you moronic fuckwad.
Tell me something I don't know. Please.
Dr.: There isn't enough time in the universe.
