Re: What does "Christ" mean?
You can twist and mistranslate the Greek word christos in anyway you wish but
- "Christ" is the English translation of christos, or anointed.
Nothing more, nothing less. The bible is full of anointed men.
Everyone has the Christ within themselves.

"CHRIST" is not a name, it's a title. Long before
"Jesus, who is called 'Christ,'" all kings of Israel held that title.
King Saul [as addressed by prince David]: 1 Samuel 24:6 RSV ... my lord,
the LORD's anointed (MY LORD THE LORD'S CHRIST) LXX DOMINO MEO CHRISTO
DOMINI (MY LORD, LORD CHRIST) Vulgate
Then David says to his men, of Saul: ... he is the LORD's anointed. KJV
(HE IS THE LORD'S CHRIST) LXX CHRISTUS DOMINI EST (HE IS THE LORD'S
CHRIST ) Vulgate
King David Psalm 18:50 RSV; 2 Samuel 23:1 KJV Great triumphs he gives to
his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his descendants
for ever.
(HIS CHRIST DAVID) LXX [17:50] CHRISTO SUO DAVID (HIS CHRIST DAVID) Vulgate
[17:51]
David the son of Jesse ... the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of
the God of Jacob.....
