    To answer one of your follow-ups: Christ is a title, it’s the English version of the Greek word for messiah.

    Jesus Christ = Jesus the Christ = Jesus the Messiah = Christ Jesus and so forth

      So when you say, Christ the Messiah, you’re really saying Messiah the Messiah. Man people were so silly back then. Anyway, I’m off to the Los Angeles Angels game. 👋

        I’ve always found it fascinating that Winnie the Pooh and Jack the Ripper have the same middle name.
