In reply to who is Christ?, posted by rayww on January 4, 2004, at 20:52:23
In my Bible (the International Version), 'The Christ' and 'The Messiah' are interchangable.
For example, in Acts 5:42, it says "Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ" (or Messiah).
See also Acts 9:22.
Do I believe that Jesus is the Christ? If anyone was or is the prophesized Christ, I do believe that Jesus is it. Besides, whether or not I believe seems less important than whether or not I WANT to believe. And I definitely want to believe. Jesus kicked ass.
