first possible first century reference to christ or christos

The focus issue this is a reference to the historical Jesus who was called Christ or the 'anointed one(gk.) i.e. the messiah. Since I know Greek it is saying the name of Christ to evoke magic; but this in not the point it shows he was an historical personage which some deny even though most scholar's believe Jesus did exist.

Just sharing.

Good find, Watchman, but no way I can sit through two hours of that crap, two hours I will never get back. The sermon was given at the Urim and Thummim Church, a Morman church in California, if that tells you anything (Urim and Thummim were the names of the magical spectacles Joseph Smith used - from behind a curtain - to translate the Book of Mormon, from its original language, engraved on gold leaf pages, before it and they vanished back into the ether - no one but Smith ever saw the book or the spectacles).
