is also the first major problem with mainstream christianity...what's the difference?
It is GOD that determines such things...don't worry about others not having the idea down pat when most everyone is equally lacking that understanding.
Judge not, remember?
And btw...the reason that the Jews call Christ Maschiach is the same reason that people in Mexico call an orange a naranja...or an apple a manzana.
Christ means anointed. So the word changes according to the language spoken. We use the Greek term...that's all the difference there is...if you understand who Jesus is...names fall by the wayside as far as determining factors...all names are symbols, anyway...they don't mean anything on a personal level if they aren't understood as manifestations of the WORD...rather than something absolutely identifying a carbon based life form.
