JesusChrist or Jesus Christ (in spanish though)?

Question

I know JesusChrist is the same as Jesus Christ, right? But in spanish is a different story.

In spanish language, Jesus is, of cource, Jesús. And Jesus Christ is, in spanish, Jesucristo.

Anyways, I have someone telling me that people shouldn't be baptized in the name of Jesucristo (in spanish culture) because is missing an s.

Jesus Christ in spanish is missing an s.

Jesu_cristo . Do you see it?

What do you think about this? I know that in English is no problem but, unfortunately, in spanish it is a problem. Well, only to this person who told me. This person said that it is an error of the translators. That it shouldn't be Jesucristo but Jesús Cristo. So he believes that baptizms should only be in the name of Jesús not Jesucristo. But I am NOT saying that Jesus isn't the name to use for baptizms, but I believe people can be baptized in either name just as in English. Either in Jesus Christ or JesusChrist (obviously, in English is the same) What do you think?

Answer 1

We are baptized in the person of Jesus Christ, not in the way His name is pronounced or spelled. In fact, his name is not Jesus, or Jesus Christ, if you want to be difficult about it. His name sounds sommething like "Yesous" or "Yeshouah", and "Christ", which means the "annointed one" would have been "Mesisas" or something like that, while being "Christos" in Greek.
In the new testament it is written in Greek. When Jesus gave instructions it was in Aramaic. So really, let's not split hairs about spelling and pronunciaiton in English or Spanish, the whole question is wheter we have faith in His person.

Answer 2

Who ever told you that has no idea what they are talking about.

"Jesus" is the English spelling of his name. As he, and his parents, spoke Aramaic, not English, his name would have actually been "Yeshua", from where we get the English name Joshua. "Jesus" comes from the Latin version (Jesu or Iesu) of the Greek version (Iēsous) of the name "Yeshua".

It is proper to be baptized with the name "Yeshua" spoken however it is correctly translated in the language being uses. So using "jesucristo" in Spanish is correct. (In Latin, used for most Catholic rituals, the name Yeshua is spelled "Jesu". So almost every Catholic in the world has been baptized without the "s" on the end of the name.

There is nothing wrong with using the spanish translation for "Yeshua" when using Spanish for baptism.

Answer 3

i think whatever word you say you mean the right thing and thats what counts. being baptized in the name of jesucristo is better than not being baptized at all, even if someone missed out a letter He's still the Son of God.

Merry Christmas!

Answer 4

No one said Jesus Christ was Spanish.

Answer 5

Very, very complex and pertinent question question.
Shall have to look up my Spanish Dictionary, Thesaurus and Bible Dictionary.

Jesus is the name.
Christ ("Messiah" in Hebraic, both meaning "THE anointed") is a title: Like in "Jesus THE Savior". So, in any idiom it should be separated.
In Spanish: Jesus Cristo, the Saviors name.
But, for regular people name, any way the parents wish to.
