Mr. J. Christ
"Jesus Christ" has two connotations in English, both of them bad. Either:
- It's a common curse, or
- It sounds like "Christ" is Jesus' surname.
Both of them get worse when you add the middle initial "H". ![]()
So please stop saying it. I recommend using one of the following instead:
- Christ Jesus
- Jesus the Christ
- Jesus the Messiah
Odd how so many old hymns prefer #1 to "Jesus Christ".
