What does the H in Jesus H. Christ stand for? And do you think Jesus gives good blumpkins?

Answer 1

He didn't have a middle name.The jews in those days did not assign middle names.That didn't happen until about 300 or so A.D.

The H stands for Harold, as in, "Our Father, who art in heaven, Harold be thy name"

Ben-Yosef is, by some accounts, the last name of Joseph, earthly father of Jesus. How accurate this is is hard to say. "Yeshua" is a poor romanization of the Hebrew pronounciation of "Jesus" ("Jesus" is the name in Greek, which was the language the original Gospels were written in.) Since "Jesus H. Christ" is, for the most part, only used in America, it most likely is a cut-down version of "Jesus, Holy Christ!" which is indeed used. However, the theory involving the Greek letter eta, seen in the old Greek writing of Jesus, is rather interesting.

"Ben-Yosef" means "son of Yosef." It's not a last name, this is the way Hebrew names are structured. Yeshua ben-Yosef, "Yeshua, son-of-Yosef" would therefore be the full Hebrew name of Jesus of Nazareth.

Challah is bread eaten by Jews primarily on the eve of the Sabbath but also at other times. It represents the "show bread" that was placed on the altar in the days of The Temple. It traditionally (and by traditionally I mean in the Eastern-European Jewish estimation of tradition) a braided loaf made with a lot of egg and is somewhat sweet... though these are not requirements, and there are many versions of Challah to be found in Jewish communities around the world. Challah itself is uniquely Jewish, though other sweet eggy bread can be found in many cultures. It does not make them Challah.

Challah The first sound of the word Challah is a throaty aspirated "kh" sort of sound. Like hocking up a phlegm wad. Think Klingon. A lot of people can't pronounce this sound and it comes out sounding like an "h" so Challah becomes "Hallah" which sounds like "Holla."

"Our Father Who Art In Heaven, Harold Be Thy Name."

Answer 2

I never heard that whole Jesus H. Christ thing until a couple years ago..it's weird.

Im not so sure Jesus, let alone anyone, would ever give a blumpkin.

Answer 3

The "H" stands for "Harold," from the Lord's Prayer, "Our Father, who art in heaven, Harold be thy name." (just kidding)

Actually nobody knows what the "H" stands for.

But the most reasonable theory seems to be "Holy" as in Jesus Holy Christ. This is a common blasphemy in the South which was then shortened to "H" by fast-talking Northerners.

With love in Christ.
