Well, then, the "Greek" form of Mashiach does not know, consider or define, "Mashiach" properly. Mashiach has certain functions to perform, it is not just a general idea. Christ fulfilled none of them, therefore those who think Christ and Mashiach are not different concepts, either do not understand the concept of Mashiach, or would like to supplant the Jewish ideas of Mashiach, with their own ideas of Christ.

Shoshanna




Jeremiah was talking about life after Mashiach, not Christ. When all people will know who G-d is......

But "Christ" is simply the Greek form of "Mashiach"; it is not a name but a function and a title. You may disagree on whether Jesus of Nazareth can be identified as the Christ/Messiah/Mashiach or given this title, and you may disagree with Harold's teaching about the role of the Christ/Messiah/Mashiach (based on the New Testament), but it makes a nonsense to suggest that Christ and Mashiach are different concepts.
