Reply to: Question for Chico!

[ch1co]

What is Jesus's surname?

Me and my lad had a drunken discussion about this last night - he seems to think it's Christ (to which I laughed hysterically)....he thinks it was Joseph and Mary Christ, who had a son called Jesus - hence Jesus Christ.

I'm not convinced myself like, but the more I think about it, the more it makes kind of sense.

Everyone else in the bible seemed to have surnames, so what is Jesus's?

Thanks in advance

You were drunk! You are surely going to hell for eternity. Hell is where you have to shag me. Eternity is, well lets put it this way, if you have a diamond a million miles across and a butterfly brushes its wings past once in a million years, then when the diamond has eroded your torment is just beginning.

BTW the answer is Nazareth.

You're kidding? Chico was actually Lucifer Box?! That's world-class trolling.

I once worked with someone just like Chico, and a more smug, dogmatic fanatic it would be hard to imagine. No wonder I was taken right in.

Not sure I believe that Chico thing. From the daftness of comment I was sure he was the same guy as Chico London we had a while back or was he an invention too?

So is Chico Lucifer ?
Or is Lucifer Chico ?

However it works.......we have established that LB/Chico has both a split personality and waaaayyyyy too much time on their hands.!

What a tosser (him, not you). "Christ" comes from Greek "christos" and means "the annointed".

Well what did they call her Mary High Tower for? Was she a lanky lass?

I'm glad we've cleared that up.

It wasn't LB, according to my textual analysis software. Then again it's highly experimental, so could be wrong.

I must admit, I thought it was someone else as well.

So-called surnames in Jesus days were more like "Kate from Eaton Bray" or "Steve from up the pub" today.

So when did we start making the distinction?
Just because they were not called surnames does not mean they were not surnames.

I am not picking a fight, just want clarity

As Buffoon said further up. It was the Normans changing them to pre-defined surnames for tax and identification purposes. Before that it wasn't uncommon for people to have more than one "title" which made centralised identification difficult.
