Therefore   I had a quick question Im not a religious scholar but something caught my eye in the intro to this article it talks about Gods embodiment in Jesus and says Christians therefore commonly refer to Jesus as Christ or Messiah  I was always under the impression that hes called Christ because that was his name Jesus Christ  Is that not correct  I know hes sometimes called Jesus of Nazareth  Was Jesus of Nazareth his official name  Did we kind of appoint Christ as his last name  If Im wrong thats cool but itd still be nice to know the truth P
