→Jesus the Savior: : Fascinating point. Please edit as you think best. Thank you.
Just one, purely linguistic, remark: the article states that Christianity derives its name from Jesus Christ, which is Greek for "Jesus the Savior" or "Jesus the Anointed One". Now, according to what I know, "Christ" comes from the greek Χριστός, meaning "anointed". Therefore, although Christ is of course the Savior to all Christians (I am not disputing that), literally "Christ" does not mean "the Savior". If you want to keep "Savior" in, perhaps a rewording would be necessary, to avoid giving the impression that Χριστός in ancient greek literally means "Savior". --[[User:MarcoT2|MarcoT2]] 08:43, 5 July 2010 (EDT)
