In Standard Hebrew, The Messiah is often referred to as מלך המשיח, Méleḫ ha-Mašíaḥ (in the Tiberianvocalization pronounced Méleḵ haMMāšîªḥ), literally meaning “the Anointed King.”

The gnostics generally believed not in a Jesus who was a divine person with a human form, but in a spiritual christ who dwelt in Jesus. Through the spiritual path of gnosticism, followers of these schools believed that they could experience the same knowledge, or gnosis. Many of the Gnostic texts say that in order to be called worthy of the title 'Christian' one must also be anointed with Holy oil and that the water baptism alone is incomplete.

Iraq

The Christians of Iraq are considered a minority population representing 3/- of the population of the country. The majority of the Iraqi Christians belongs to the Chaldean Catholic Church. Christians of Iraq trace their ancestry to the ancient Assyrians and Baby-lonians. They are known by various names such as Assyrians, Chaldeans for those who belong to the Chaldean Church and Syriacs for the members of the Syrian Orthodox Church.

The first known usage of the term christianos can be found in the New Testament in Acts 11:26: "the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch." They were disciples and followers of Jesus Christ. The other two New Testament uses of the word also refer to the public identity of those who follow Jesus. The Jewish king said the Apostle Paul had almost persuaded the king "to become a Christian" (Acts 26:28). Writing in 1 Peter 4:16, The Message paraphrase, the Apostle Peter encouraged believers who are abused "because you're a Christian, don't give it a second thought. Be proud of the distinguished status reflected in that name!"



Term Martyr

The term martyr is most commonly used today to describe an individual who sacrifices their life in order to further a cause or belief for many. A Christian martyr is one who is killed for following Christianity, through stoning, crucifixion, burning at the stake, etc. The word martyr comes from the Greek word which means “witness.” A martyr’s death was considered a “baptism in blood,” cleansing one of sin as baptism in water did.

Jesus of Nazareth (c 4 BC/BCEc 30 AD/CE), also known as Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity, and within most Christian denominations he is venerated as the Son of God and as God incarnate. Christians also view him as the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament; however, Judaism rejects this claim. Islam considers Jesus a prophet, while several other religions revere him in some way.

144000

144000 is a natural number. It has a religious significance for Christians because of its use in the book of revelation of the New Testament. It is also significant in some new age religious movements. The 144,000 have what the Jehovah’s witness call the heavenly hope. Those who are not among the 144,000 will enjoy the earthly hope.

In the first century C.E., a growing sect of religious converts believed that Jesus is "the Christ" (Messiah), and these became known as "Christians." This usage remains current, such that while "Messiah" may specifically refer to the Jewish concept of "the Messiah" yet to come, or to the concept of such a being in general, the term "Christ" in English is almost exclusively connected with Christianity.

Grace

A most beautiful word, a Biblical doctrine of immense importance! Titus 2:11-15 speaks these wonderful words about God’s grace.

“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ (YAHoshua HaMashiach); Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.”
