==Etymology and titles==
==Etymology and titles==
“Christ” is a title derived from the [[Greek]] Χριστός (''Christós''), meaning the “Anointed One,” which corresponds to the [[Aramaic]]-derived “[[Messiah]]”. The name “Jesus” is an [[Anglicization]] of the Greek Ίησους (''Iēsous''), itself a [[Hellenization]] of [[Aramaic]] ישוע (''Yeshua''). Christ is not Jesus’ last name as many suspect. It is his title. Christ means “annointed” or “Messiah”. Therefore, the word Christ designates that Jesus is the awaited Messiah of Israel. The language of Jesus Christ and first century [[Palestine]] was Aramaic.

Jesus Christ (Year 1 of the Christian calendar - circa 30 AD), also known as Jesus of Nazareth, in Galilee[2] is held by Christianity to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah (or "Christ") prophesized in the Old Testament. He was put to death to death by crucifixion at the behest of the Elders of the jewish people in their petition to the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate.[3] The New Testament commences with the birth of Christ. Both the Julian and the Gregorian calendars in use by Europeans world-wide commence from the year of Christ's birth.

Conception

Traditionally, Christians believe that Mary conceived her son miraculously by the agency of the Holy Spirit. Muslims believe that she conceived her son miraculously by the command of God. Joseph was from these perspectives and according to the canonical gospels the acting adoptive father of Jesus.

Etymology and titles

“Christ” is a title derived from the Greek Χριστός (Christós), meaning the “Anointed One,” which corresponds to the Aramaic-derived “Messiah”. The name “Jesus” is an Anglicization of the Greek Ίησους (Iēsous), itself a Hellenization of Aramaic ישוע (Yeshua). Christ is not Jesus’ last name as many suspect. It is his title. Christ means “annointed” or “Messiah”. Therefore, the word Christ designates that Jesus is the awaited Messiah of Israel. The language of Jesus Christ and first century Palestine was Aramaic.

Quotes

  • Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I myself have founded great empires; but upon what did these creations of our genius depend? Upon force. Jesus alone founded His empire upon love, and to this very day millions would die for Him. I think I understand something of human nature; and I tell you, all these were men, and I am a man: none else is like Him; Jesus Christ was more than man. This phenomenon is unaccountable; it is altogether beyond the scope of man’s creative powers. Time, the great destroyer, is powerless to extinguish this sacred flame; time can neither exhaust its strength nor put a limit to its range. This is it which strikes me most, I have often thought of it. This it is which proves to me quite convincingly the Divinity of Jesus Christ.Napoleon Bonaparte as a prisoner at Saint Helena, 1820.[4]
  • "A teaching that does not come out of Nordic blood and carry Nordic spirit cannot spread itself among Nordic races. Since Christianity had become a successful religion for two thousand years only among Nordic races (not among jews) and Christian ideas were the greatest culturally creative force in human history, it was simply impossible that Christ, the driving force of Christianity could have been a jew."Der Stürmer, 1938[5]
