we'll di nalang ko mopuno.. haha.. let's go back to topic
kahibaw man ta tanan...'Christ' means 'anointed one' (same as Messiah). It IS a title rather than a proper name, and titles usually have a 'the' in front of them - 'the' Heavenly Father, 'the' Lord, 'the' King, 'the' Saviour, 'the' Blessed Virgin, 'the' Apostle Paul.
I suppose translating it into other languages Reg has a point. You wouldn't say 'Jesus Anointed', or 'Jesus Messiah', rather you'd say 'Jesus the anointed one' or 'Jesus the Messiah'.
ug susama sa giingon ni Reg, the movie was called 'The Passion of THE Christ', so it's certainly not wrong. Still, it is creating a bit of a storm in a teacup. It is such common usage to say 'Jesus Christ' that it's fine to choose it also. And it is used on many occasions - 'the Body of Christ', 'the Blood of Christ', 'Feast of Christ the King' and so on.
tinoud man...we Catholics are all anointed in baptism and confirmation, so we can call ourselves 'anointed'. But if this is meant to imply that we are all Jesus, then no.
