If people don't understand Messiah, then there's not much point to making the Greek sound like Hebrew.<br /><br />But it is fun once in a while :)Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350640852962668641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545303461282245799.post-23241242003381420332010-04-17T17:20:33.023-05:002010-04-17T17:20:33.023-05:00Hehe, well, I think it's fair to say that Paul...Hehe, well, I think it's fair to say that Paul and those guys didn't fight so much over "Messiah Yeshua" vs. "Jesus Christ" the way some people do today. Messianic Jewish restorationists seem more strict about this than Paul was.<br /><br />The scholarly opinion I'm aware of (but can't contribute to) is that "Christos" becomes a technical term by the time of the Epistles, though in the Gospels it means specifically Messiah in the Jewish context.<br /><br />Honestly, I'm so Greek-oriented that I prefer sticking with "Jesus Christ." If I was a Hebrew fanatic then maybe I'd have a different opinion though...<br /><br />Hope work goes OK for you, Byron!

It's not literal but it puts the feel a tad into the original culture, at least for me. Or, if we really want to get funky, "Messiah Yeshua."
