the missing link to God's family

[Pat Mustard]

I will tell you that Christ is a powerful name. At least, from the bibles point of view anyway, because his name is supposed to be translated or whatever into Yahweh, which means "God." Belonging to the family of God never sounded easier, because the son of God means "God"! But this thread is all about the family God and there being a particular missing link to it, at least it is partially. It is about my name: James Brenton Killingsworth. It has a big impact on my family as well, perhaps anyway, who's names are too big for honor. I believe with all sincerity and cannot find disproof, that my name comes out pronounced as Christ. I also believe there is a meaning behind my name, kind of like Christ means Yahweh or God, but I don't want to divulge into that yet.

I'm just going to critique this bit, simply because your reasoning shows a severe lack of scholarship in the area. The name Christ comes from the Roman name or title "Chrestus" which meant literally "the good [man]". There were thousands of people living in Roman Europe during the early Principate who either were called Chrestus or were given the title Chrestus. It was so common that it pretty much lost all meaning. This is one of the major pointers towards the mythical aspect of the Jesus story.
