If Jesus exsisted, what was his family name?

Answer 1

Jones.
Some of my Irish bros say the full name was Jesus Christ O'mighty.
But I know it was Jones.
Right here, right now.
I used to know a Jesus Martinez, but I haven't seen Him in a long time. He said He would be back.

Answer 2

With rare exception, most Christians use "Jesus Christ" exactly like they would if they were using his first and last names. Jesus is like "Tom" and Christ is like "Smith." There is nevery any hint that there is any other meaning in these two words.

This is a shame because many Christians don't know enough about Jesus to know his father's name was Joseph and in the conventions of the New Testament era Jesus' last, or family, name was "son of Joseph."1 If this expression were converted into modern writing/naming conventions Jesus' last name would be "Josephson."

The Bible also uses a convention unknown to modern people where the city of origin is used very much as a type of family, or last, name. In the case of Jesus he is addressed as "Jesus of Nazareth" which gramatically acts like a formal name for Jesus. Indeed, most of the locations where Jesus is addressed this way are places were a legal connotation is explicit or implied.2 3 4 5 6

Something like "Jesus Joseph's son" or "Jesus of Nazareth" or a combined form7 would have been entered into the census records at the time of his birth. Not "Jesus Christ."

You won't hear anyone in modern church contexts saying they follow "Jesus Josephson" and you will almost never hear anyone saying they follow "Jesus of Nazareth" yet this is all the more understanding they have of the man as evidenced by their use of of the English grammer.

As explained below, the word, "Christ" popularly thought to be his last name has nothing whatsoever to do with his name. Before looking at "Christ" the more difficult of the two words, a look at "Jesus" is in order.

Answer 3

In Jewish families, there were no family names. people were usually referred to as "son of" or "of the tribe of". Family names is a relatively modern system of identification originally used for the purpose of taxation. This was first used over a thousand years ago. The Romans probably had a similar method for the purpose of taxation even in the time of Jesus. Mary and Joseph had to go to the town of their birth for the purpose of registering for taxation.

Answer 4

They didn't have family names. You were referred to by a first name and who your father was -- Jesus, son of Joseph

Answer 5

Jesus of Nazareth, son of Joseph of the House of David

They didnt use the same naming system in those days that most of us use now.

Answer 6

If Jesus existed then He will corrected the world's mistake and misunderstand about WHO ACTUALLY HIS FATHER.

Jesus had to disappear from the world TEMPORARY because if he don't then Mohamed wont come to correct what was WRONGLY understand about Jesus.

But before Mohamed go, He said Jesus would come again to save all believers of God.

Both Jesus and Mohamed is refer to the SPIRIT of God, means the Holly Spirit who had work through Jesus would came back to save the believers of God through any body as the Spirit had work before the existence of Jesus. Therefore the Spirit told through the tongue of Jesus "I ALREADY EXIST IN THIS WORLD BEFORE ABRAHAM"

In the matter of fact we all know that Jesus exist in this world long-long time after Abraham therefore should we unable to differentiate between the word of Jesus and the words of Spirit we would thought that Jesus is the one who claim that he had existed before Abraham.

We cant related the SPIRIT with BLOOD or are we going to rename the Holly Spirit with the name of Jesus should Holly Spirit born into this world through the BLOOD of Chinese instead of Jew?
