His name was Jesus of Nazareth, not Jesus Christ. He was a typical Roman citizen, therefore his first name was the name he was given and his last name was the place he came from. Christ just magically appeared in the Bible. Should you not be worshipping Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus Christ does not exist.

WHOA! you guys don't know much do you! ask a Jew, eh? 'jesus,' was a JEW! his REAL name was Yeshua. in Hebrew, he would have been called, Yeshua Ben-Yosef(Yeshua Son of Joseph) he was called a Natzarine, because he was from that town. Christ was a Roman word meaning 'the anointed one'. They gave him his nickname, 'jesus'- ask anyone who speaks greek- the word for savior, in greek, is SOTER- not jesus! everything has been paganised! you're right- jesus christ does NOT EXIST!

Christ is an english word. The bible wasn't written in english. You have to take it all with a grain of salt.

I don't know anything specifically or historically, but it seems he became Jesus Christ when he became a religious leader, similar to when a new pope is elected, he renames himself.

Christ is His title, and it means “Messiah” or “anointed one.”
